Hey Hallam hows things, long time no see?

A £1 pad today which makes £185.18 so far off the Barclaycard! I am going to cut the payments down for a bit now as I don't want to go overboard and end up short at the end of the month. Still waiting for the TCB e-check to clear in paypal but it did say 7-10 working days from the 28th feb so it should appear any day now. I've then gotta wait for the funds to clear from paypal to the bank:rolleyes:

FF I KNOWWWWW you should have heard the howls of despair when the guy said that!!!! Why do they need a break, honestly thats so poo??? Kate's gonna stir things up a bit with Sawyer and Juliet, shame cuz they look like they got a nice little thing together bless.

OMG can't believe I didn't post on here yesterday, I though I had??? Well anyway I made a £1 pad yesterday and £2.45 today (to match the cost of the random shopping I bought when I shouldn't have lol!) making the Barclaycard total paid off £188.63!!! Yay not much left to go, only bout another hundred quid!

Wasn't a nsd today as I had to nip to coop for mushrooms and ended up buying beer and nuts aswell oops. I did get plenty of work done though so I deserved it. Got a splitting headache at the minute though, will have to have a couple of nurofen before I get started on my daily clicks and then all the bloody reports I need to write.

Best get to it,

£25 quid pad today! Making a total of 213.63 paid off woop woop! Not an nsd as bf is driving me mental with his manflu so I bought him so lemsip capsules in the hope it would shut him up... Got tonnes of work to do tonight which I really should get a move on with, I'll do it in a bit!

£1 pad, nsd so far but I am contemplating fish and chips for tea so it may not stay that way! My £82 topcashback money hit the paypal account and is currently somewhere between paypal and Alliance and Leicester, hopefully it won't be too long! Last time it took a week so should be in sometime next week.
I have £2.50 in my purse and around £180 left in HSBC account till payday at the end of the month so not doing too badly - I don't need much more in the way of food and things. I will be going out at the end of the month which I have budgeted £40 for. I could also do with a haircut, I have got a 20% off voucher for that so might get that done, that'll be another £20 quid. oh and I really should get my eyes tested again, shouldn't be too expensive as I get them half price because of my contact lenses.
I might even have some money left in at the end of the month lol

Yep I did have fish and chips hehe. So not an nsd yesterday (I didn't have one all last week!) but I have done a 5er pad today. Thats for today and Sunday as I might be going out on sunday and might not have time to get online.
So with the 5er pad thats 219.63 paid off the barclaycard now. Not long to go! Really ought to check my HSBC account later too when I can be bothered to dig out the number.

I've got so much stuff to do today, I seriously need to get my bum into gear and do them.
1. Daily Clicks
2. Update invoices for tutoring
3. Wash my hair
4. Hang washing out so it can dry before tomorrow
5. Write subject reports for my a level group
6. finish software accreditation task and send it off so we can get some new software at school (they benefit from it, but they don't give me any extra time to do it!)
7. Finsh planning some lessons for the next couple of weeks.

And thats all I'm gonna do today unless I'm desperate!

Off to make a start now!

OK Items 1 - 4 done and complete and I have also taken the bin and recycling out and tidied up my dressing table.
As you can see I'm back on the computer, that's because I am supposed to be doing my reports - taking a 5 minute break first lol

Hey I've been doing alright thanks, I've had a tough couple of weeks so I've not really been on here much. Best get on the wagon and drive this debt down.

You're still doing fantastic, hoping some of your enthusiasm rubs off on me! x

Well I still haven't done 6 and 7 from my list but I have sorted out the garden (it would be better described as a plant mortuary) and chucked away all the dead plants. I'll probably go down b&q and buy some next week, they'll look nice for a few days before they all die again lol. I've also cleaned the bathroom and the windowsills AGAIN (this bloody flat has so much mildew it's disgusting).

BF took his car into the garage yesterday, it needs something doing to the exhaust which is gonna cost a couple of hundred quid. I'm feeling a bit guilty as I know I could pay it for him off my credit card (he doesn't know this), but I've worked so hard to get it cleared this month (it will be in the next couple of days) and it would feel like such a kick in the teeth to spend on it again. I just don't want the bloody car to blow up or something whilst he's driving it because then I'd feel even more guilty!

The problem is he doesn't really 'get' credit cards - when we first got together and we were skint he always used to say,. oh yeah lets do this/that/the other, just put it on the CC... I don't think he realises how much more it actually costs you to then have to pay it back again. Just as well I didn't or I don't know what we'd have done while he wasnt working. I only had about £100 on my big A&L card before he lost his job, the rest built up during that period where he wasn't earning.

I really ought to get on and do some work - not at all in the mood though! Not gonna bother with the software thing, it can wait till next weekend now. A little list perhaps, it seemed to work yesterday!
1. Plan this weeks tutoring sessions.
actually I think that'll do, it is Sunday after all!
