Wendys Spend Less, Make More Diary

Nichelette

Don't worry about getting lots done, you should enjoy the sun, this is the nicest weather we've had for aaaaages. My money is a bit of a mess at the moment, mainly because I forgot about my car tax (I say forgot, I actually thought it was due in October - Idiot lol).

Hi Wendz,

How's the move going? I hope it all goes okay and your sister makes it home soon, if she's not back already!

Hope you're well.

Hi everyone!

I am finally back on the internet woo. Have been so hectic at work so haven't been able to update from there either!

Will try not to make this too long and bore you all. The move went well and we are all settled in the new place. We have a few teething problems with the washing machine/dishwasher etc that were already in the flat but hopefully we should sort them soon. We are having to sleep on an airbed on the bedframe till our mattress arrives in a week and a half. We also have no sofas but we did order some yesterday which is very exciting, just waiting to find out if we got accepted for credit for them fingers crossed. Have to wait 8 weeks for them as well.

Not much news apart from that, considering all the moving stuff I am not doing terribly moneywise. Really need to start getting a few bits for holiday so might do that while i still have money.

Hope you have all been well.

Hi all again,

WE have been having quite a few problems with the flat the last few days but things are getting sorted now. We had no hot water last few days but is fixed now. Also washing machine has now been replaced with a temporary one so that is good and the dishwasher seems to be working too so starting to feel a bit less stressed and more sorted.

I had a good weekend down in Southampton.It was my friends birthday and we had a bbq, the rain managed to hold out! I was helping my friend look after her little baby as well which was really cute but he got upset while I was holding him, I won't take it personally! We went out to a local club afterwards as well which was fun.

I had my nails done at work today for free for a promotion for a new show so they look all nice now!

Money situation is not looking too bad. I got a cheque from asurvey site which i need to pay in and will come off what I owe my Dad.

Yeah really need to do some cleaning though, is starting to look lived in hehe. Need to get a hoover, might pop down argos tonight and get one actually.

I have taken the money off what I owe my Dad. Getting near to under £1k again which would be great. Should have it all paid off by July/Aug.

2 weeks till payday and not doing bad moneywise. Need to get some holiday bits so might do that while I still have the money.

I have managed to get myself a cold so not feeling too great so just chilling out tonight.

Have done a bit of holiday shopping last few days. Got a stripy playsuit from Dorothy Perkins to wear over bikini and also some shorts for when we are doing more active stuff. Then I ordered some stuff from Warehouse with 20% off code.I ordered a polka dot strapless bikini, a blue and white striped dress and a frilly pink top. Getting excited about the holiday!

We aren't getting all our deposit back from our old flat which is annoying, although we are getting most. They said we need to pay for carpets/curtains to be cleaned.Managed to negotiate some of it back but the rest is going to pay off the furniture paid for on credit card.

I am off to a bbq at my friends tomorrow which should be good and then we are off out, hope you all have great weekends.

Well I haven't been on in absolutely ages!

Not much news really but very excited for our holiday to Egypt. Only 5 days to go! I am nearly ready for it just need to change my money. I have been a little naughty recently and been buying lots of nice holiday clothes but nothing out of my budget.

Money news wise I am under £1000 now for owing my Dad which is great. Only another three months of payments and will be paid off which is great. We do have the sofa's to pay off after that so won't be debt free yet!

This weekend I am doing some revision as I have a work exam 3 days after I get back so trying to do lots of revision before my holiday. I am also starting my packing, I like to be organised!

Hope you are all OK and having great weekends.

Ohh exciting! Hope you have a fab time on holiday...im sure you will. A few new clothes and bikinis is always a must for holidays

Good luck for your exam when you get back too!

That's great you've only got 3 more payments left of the money you owe your dad
