Still on my road to being a millionaire

millionaire_in_training

hi folks. Went to slimming club tonight and have gained over half a stone since beginning of December:eek: . Never mind it was good fun. Start again tomorrow. Actually looking forward to it as I am now fed up with eating and drinking junk. Took soup into work today for lunch and when I opened it it was steak and onion gravy . Caused great hilarity in my office I'll tell you. Had to spend a couple of pounds then on a minging roll from the canteen. Had kids lunches to pay for too and rejoin fees for slimming club so have spent a fair bit today. Never mind was all necessary. Knackered tonight and heading to bed x

Tired, tired, tired tonight. Hardly got any sleep last night as my ulcer is playing up and making me miserable. . Have got an appointment with doc in the morning. Great what worrying about debt, marriage brak up etc leaves you with lol

Only spent £1.70 today on ds's lunch. No other spends so that is v good I am well pleased. I made 45p on scratchcards today and no surveys. Hmm not so grand.

We have a teenage trauma inthe house today. My DD is madly in love with Basshunter and she was told today he is gay :rotfl: . She is gutted. I can remember that feeling but it was Kurt Russell that broke my heart when I was 14 as he got married or something. She'll get over it and in the meantime it is amusing me muchly.

I feel as if I have loads of money this month(sorry I know some of you must be mega skint) BUT I have loads to buy from it and don't even know if I am going to manage any overpyments....bummer. I am dying to start paying extra bits and pieces off but no can do at the mo. I hope you are all well I am going to go around the boards for a wee mooch xx

Good evening.
Got 35p from scratchcards tonight. Think I got an extra pound too. Food shopping was only £36.65 tonight for the week . Very pleased with that. Have spent £98.35 in 2 weeks and that includes school lunches. On target to be within budget I hope. I am being ultra careful as I am determined to do this. Got dd some undies and a pair of white jeans for her skiing trip. Jeans were down to £6 in ASDA . Still sticking to the diet so thats good. Could go somehting nice tonight though so might have some grapes. I've managed to get £135 together from the £150 dd needs so all is well. I will get the other £15 next week no bother and then start seeing if I can overpay on a card. Will be well chuffed if I manage that. Take care x

Good news all round the MIT. I am doing ok on the grocery budget butpoorly on the eating at the moment. Kids have cost me over £50 on clothes this month :eek: so I hope that bottoms out a bit.

My dd1 has just come back from a school trip and had an amazing time so the extra you spend on the trip will be well worth it.

KP I'm sure it will and tbh I don't really care I just get pee'd off when my ex doesn't help when he really really should. I would stop eating to make sure she has enough fo her trip. Hmm maybe that's why I'm in debt lol maybe I should learn to say no to her and her brother. Joking of course as there's loads they do without. 60p from scratchcards. Building up nicely. Done a couple of surveys too.

I was naughty today. My unit in my hall was terminally ill and I bought a new bookcase and a variety of baskets from Ikea. Bought some storage tubs too as I am always cooking double loads of food and am really short on tubs. Bought a vase too and a mouse mat but they were both less than a £1 each and did need them. ( or did I? ) My mum paid for the lunch. I had the wonderful meatballs and potatoes. Had a kids portion so hopefully the diet wont be knackered. Had chicken curry for dinner and rice. The sauce was in the freezer, Home made by my brother. Was amazing ! . Could eat it again now though. been using up all the contents of the freezer and just buying ingredients to go with them along with snacky foods and juice so the shopping budget is pretty healthy. Which is good!! If there is any left over then I will stock up the freezer before the end of the month.

My son has just turned 11 and he is a horror lol. Everything is a joke and he is being a right pain in the bum. Think I need to draw his hors in a wee bit as he is driving me nuts lol. He was terrible in Ikea today. Didn't do a thing he was told, kept ignoring me, kept getting in the road( intentionally) and then crying cos he got a row.:mad: . He wanted to go to HMV and I refused and took him home. Now making him tidy his room and there will be no x-box or telly until he does. Jeezo ...............Boys :rolleyes: . The noise coming from upstairsis deafening as I think he is just throwing everything in his cupboard. Well big shock to him if he is as I will just take it all back out again and make him put it away properly. Bloody exhausted with him :rotfl: .Good job I'm laid back.

BTW my bookcase looks fab and my stuff is all nice and tidy. . Going for a nosey now.

busy day today. Been to the skip with the old cupboard in the teeming rain. Jeez it is pelting down here just now. Garden has major puddles in it. Poor rabbit can't get out for a wee run.

Kids are away to their dad's. First timethey have seen or heard from him since Christmas :mad: . I have been separated for years and that man still drives me crazy. Really annoys me that he still has that power over me. My lass is going into her fourth year at high school and he has phoned the school to complain that he gets no correspondence from them and to ensure he gets an invite to the parents night!! I've asked him to come to them all and he hasn't bothered. He plays this game where to outsiders he appears to do the right thing i.e calling the school then he does things like pays £5 maintenance per week and laughs in my face about it. I can understand why folks commit murder :rotfl: . Joking of course as he aint worth the time. If he was so bloody interested in his kids education why has he left it until she has been there 3 years to contact them? Hmm! Did the same in Primary school and called then when she was in P5. I was on the board and the head teacher told me not to worry that they were well aware of what relationship etc he had with the children as the kids talked about things. Sorry for the rant but I feel a bit better now just getting it out my system. Just annoys me that I can't just laugh at his antics rather than get peed off at them.

Ok onto moneysaving (which I have to do after getting into debt during the £5 per week maintenance period :mad: ) I got 45p from scratchcards today. Going to be a NSD too as going nowhere and have all the food in that I need for the day. Making lasagne for dinner and home made oven chips so that will be fab. DD gets her dinner at work as she does a couple of hours in a chippy on a Sunday for pocket money. I need to start my assignment and am going to do that immediately I finish this post. I have been procrastinating for weeks and now NEED to do it. Not due until 31st but I then have a project due by 12th Feb so that I can graduate in March. Have anice day everyone xx

I have caught up on my ironing and managed to start my assignment . Not done much of it but at least it's a start.

I have an Ikea( large sized) bag full of really nice clothes for e-baying so tomorrow I will get the camera set up and photograph them all and get them on on hursday so I can get 10 days adn finish at the weekend. Hopefully get some things sold as they are really nice. DS has grown so quickly recently that there are trousers there that haven't been worn more than once. Same with DD although not quite so fast but she has gone frm a size 4-6 to a 1 in a year so it has been murder keeping up with her. she has also grown about 3 inches and is now 5'7. I'm only a titchy 5'3 lol and a size 20 so no chance of sharing. Any money I get from the e-bay sales will go towards buying me a nice suit ,shoes and blouse for my graduation at the end of March. I will also have an overnighter to pay for so that will be expensive too. Jeez I think I'll need to start selling my body!!!!!! Loads of guys like fat birds don't they?? eh? eh?
