  • Good Morning Everyone

    Today I have/will

    Have eggs for breakfast (free from my chickens).
    Take dogs out for a walk when it warms up as it's freezing!
    Taking DS shopping - he wants to buy something secret out of his Xmas money.
    I need to just buy some butter so a LSD for me.
    Took meat out of freezer for dinner this evening.
    Take some snacks and drinks out of the pantry for when we go shopping as DS always insists he's hungry/thirsty.
    Take decorations down and put them away for next year.
    Cut up cards etc.. to reuse in crafting throughout the year.
    Pick up some clothes from a lovely Freecycler.
    Spend the rest of the day with my DS as he's been away for almost a week and I've missed him - borrowed some DVD's to snuggle up on the sofa and watch tonight.

    Have a great day all.
    I won't buy it if I can make or borrow it instead

    Morning everyone.



    Brrrrr, its freezing here

    Today I have:
    * checked online banking, and moved change left over to virtual sealed pot
    * checked Quidco - my L&G money hasn't changed status - I will chase this up later in the month
    * put my new diary into my filofax, and put one page marker in my birthday week
    * breakfast at home


    And I will:
    * enter comps online
    * put change into my sealed pots
    * work out the rate of interest on my Barclays reg saver account
    * tidy my room, so that I can find things in a hurry
    * not go out, so it should be a NSD
    * make soup for today and tomorrows lunch



    Think that is about it, take care everyone,
    Candy xxx
    Debts at the start of my journey - about £23,000 lightbulb moment 01.03.2007 (1st payment to CCCS)..Debt Free Date 25.06.2013 Deposit savings £17,000/£30,000
  • Paid £1.03 to GM Card.
    Had a nice surprise when updating my spreadsheets earlier too. When I first started doing my sig, I transferred the original debt amount wrongly (now corrected). It means I owe £630 less than I thought. Still far too much but I need all the help I can get.
    Want to work today but need to wait until temperature climbs a bit. It was -6 in the van this morning. Would help if I had a house and drive as I could put a frost free heater in there from my mains. As I'm in a flat set back from the road - no chance of that.

    - Plan meals for next week
    - Do BB scratchcard and find out what others I can sign up for
    - Check for any MS
    - List two items on Ebay
