Hi everyone

Andan hope you feel better soon, and Bagpuss741 am so looking forward to Dr Who special, was watching the last one on BBC3 last night, perving at Jack lol, just not looking forward to the "new doctor" am so sad lol, but hey.

Today I went to HSBC to get money out to divide it up into envelopes and to get $US for my trip on Saturday. Was seriously annoyed as they wouldn't let me take MY money out of my account without my cheque book, which I'd forgotten at home, so had to get the bus back home, walked for 20 minutes, got another bus back to the bank and then do all my stuff, how annoying!

On the positive side, my money is now sorted out into the little envelopes for the month, my travel money is sorted, although it's so little due to the rubbish exchange rate, lol, and I had to buy some cold tablets, but managed to get them for "free" by using my boots points, so that was a result. I also managed to sort out my internet banking and all my money stuff till end January 2009.

I then went into Sainsbury's to buy some ground coriander, and came out with "ground coriander" only that cost me 60p, so am well chuffed with that.

So the rest of the day will be spent baking bread, bread rolls, pizza rolls (croissants but spread with pasata, herbs and cheese and then rolled into croissants), and my own lunch for tomorrow, mixed with a couple of glasses of mulled wine lol.

Hope you all have a fantastic xmas, will be on here tomorrow.

Cheers
Casper

Afternoon All,

:j Christmas is nearly here

Today I Have............
* Checked Quidco
* Checked the bank - I got paid today, so had to move money in to savings accounts
* Booked today as holiday (use or lose holiday ), but worked 7:15 - 12:00, so that the extra can go towards debts (or bills as I still have not had my SSP)
* Had a team breakfast, but bought a cheaper coffee rather than my mid morning Latte
* Left work at 12, and drove straight home, rather than hitting the shops whilst waiting for hubby to finish wok (might be working til 17:30 :eek: ) - having lunch here




Still to do......
* Make tons of Cranberry Sauce
* Make sweet and sour sauce for dinner tonight
* Relax


Think that is about it, if there is anymore,. I will post later.

Take care
Candy xxx

Hi guys, thanks for the well wishes, keep having fits and starts of being well and then feeling lousy again! Have managed to put the rest of my decs up though, so has a more Christmassy feel to it. The house is now much cleaner and ready for Christmas. Off for a bath in a mo to try and wash some of the germs away!!

Not a bad day for me though, received a cheque for some mystery shop work and a free diary in the post!

Casper what a pain hsbc are , they've done that to me a few times.

Hope everyone has fun visiting relatives and doing their Christmas bits and pieces.

Hi talliedebtbuster,

Well I am really determined to crack this DFW thing and be debt free by the end of 2010, so will do whatever it takes lol, so am really motivated and looking forward to not being stuck working in a hospital I hate just because I'm in debt and it pays well lol.

Would rather work part time and just enjoy my life lol! Good luck x and merry xmas, and a DFW 2009!

Cheers
Casper
