Hello peeps, this is my second attempt at posting as for some reason i lost the other one?!

Feeling really crappy today, think i am coming down with the fluey type cold thats doing the rounds here. Managing to do all my jobs in the hour that the flu/cold tablets kick in. so far i have managed to:
loaf in the bm, pureed loads of veg for ds2, one lot of washing out on the line to dry another load in the washing machine and one lot of washing up . Will do the hoovering and another load of washing up once the next lot of tablets have kicked in!

Well i managed to be a waitress yesterday and made £42 and £2.20 in tips!!!!!!! So that is one car seat paid for and working there again on friday so should have some to throw at the debts. Got annoyed at one point though as people were ordering coffee (which is a cafetiere) and then saying they wanted a cappachino or latte when we took it out to them!!!! :mad: if thats what they wanted, thats what they should of ordered!!!!

Nothing much else to report on the dfw side of things, my fella hasnt spent anything in the garages and my spending is reduced loads now back at work.............

ooh, still not heard back from next but egg have said if we get nothing out of next, to contact them back and they will file a missing funds jobby and try and get the money back as quickly as possible.

Right, am off for a and to watch ds1 on his trampoline and ds2 loving running about in his walker outside. yay for nice weather!!!!!!

love rags

Just playing catch-up.
Nice to hear you'll have some extra shifts. But sorry to hear about the circumstances as to why.
I LOVE your ticker! That's excellent! Well done on your weight loss! You're skinny! Wish I was your weight... well I guess that's my aim.
Can't believe the hoo-haa with your Egg card! That's ridiculous!
I hope you're feeling a bit better today. Yes, hoorah for nice weather. If I was feeling a bit better I think I'd put some washing out!

Ohh i am so close to having paid off £1k so far this year, just need another £70 to go. Have included the £20 from this week and the £10 from one of my scratch cards. The other two are so very nearly at a tenner, so in the next two weeks i will only need £50!!!!! want to meet the £1k before next pay day, hoping we wont of overspent this month so can throw the money left at the debts!!!

Got a letter from Next today saying they have no record of our payment so have emailed egg again and asked them to raise a missing funds query as really not paying for the debts twice. Lets see what they can come up with.................................... if they take that debt back off then i will be able to transfer some more of the overdraft over...........................that would nearly clear my overdraft..........................

right, need to make an extra £50 before my next payday..............any ideas????

angie_baby

Sorry no idea on how to make an extra £50 before your next pay day, but just wanted to say well done for nearly getting to 1k! You have done so well, im sure you will do it somehow.
