got-it-spend-it

Congratulations on your engagement mrs_g_to_be. I'm sure you'll find loads of advice on here to help you be debt free and then save for your big day.

Off to work in a bit so nothing too ambitious for me....just the usual small steps.

-[STRIKE]Daily scratchies[/STRIKE]- 50p + 10p + 10p
-[STRIKE]Chase non-paying buyer on eBay[/STRIKE]
-Hopefully a NSD- oops- ended up buying lunch as has nothing I could take with me this morning. Got enough for tomorrow too though so hopefully that will be a NSD.
-[STRIKE]Storecupboard breakfast, dinner at Nan's[/STRIKE]
-[STRIKE]Make a banana loaf to use up manky bananas and to take for lunches next week.[/STRIKE]
- [STRIKE]Sold another eBay item so need to package that up[/STRIKE]
-Have a relaxing bath and use up stockpile of pampering goodies.


Think that's my lot- although what I'd really like to do is go back to bed!

Happy Sunday x x

Morning everyone! Lovely sunny day again today :j

Yesterday I:

Started to tidy up a bit in the garden
Received Mr T.voucher, only £1.50 (don't shop there often) but it all helps.
Did weekly shopping and didn't spend too much!
Cleaned out chooks
Went to garden centre to stock up on compost and seeds, for future moneysaving.
Went to a barbecue at a friend's late afternoon, which was nice, but freezing (well, it is February) so no dinner needed!

Today I will:
Not spend anything.
See to animals
Do a bit more in the garden
Tidy messy house
Meals from store
Pack up book sold on greenmetropolis to post tomorrow
Go for a nice walk for free exercise

Thanks for asking Cassey, but actually it was a bit of a flop, however it was also a learning curve for me. I got there for 4.20, treatments didn't start till 5 as no one turned up till then. There was meant to be at least 6 people having treatments, in the end only 3 people had treatments as the others two people who evenutally turned up didn't want any.

So i made very little for a huge amount of my time. However, having talked to my OH, who suggested taking payment before hand, i have decided to charge a £5 deposit for each person due to have a treatment at the pamper party, so that my time isn't wasted like that again. All other companies take either part or full payment and i'd hoped to avoid this, but the way the women were last night, you would think i was their personal masseuse with all the time in the world to spare for them.

I was a little upset as i only took the job as they were desperate for someone, otherwise i had wanted to use the time to get up to date with course work so i could spend my time with OH.

Oh well, at least it was a learning curve for me and it enabled me to talk it through with the OH and get advice from him.

Morning everyone, im at work unitl 7pm tonight. Very tired but just had brekie from afree pack of muslei i had. I have signed up to do an OU course in May. Mad i know as im doing the degree with work but its a new course and soooo want to do it. It has cost me £640 out of my savings but leads to me getting my MSc with the OU quicker. It'll keep me busy over the summer i guess! I haev managed to get one days overtime too, so thats 100 pounds at least towards it.

Mate at work is making us dinner so ill spend a few pounds on that only today. Well worth it she is the best cook! Yummy roast.

Other things on my list today when i get home/whilst at work

send off empy ink cartridges for boots points
meal plan for the week
study plan
[STRIKE]
print off some articles to study
