hello my dear
I consolidated OH's debt figure into mine, so although we've reduced about another 3k since Jan, it's about the same as it was in % terms if that makes sense because now I include his too, which is about 3k funnily enough!! still around 75%... should be debt free by September or sooner if we cancel our summer hols (family wedding at the last minute :rolleyes: that I really want to go to!)

Guys ive spent my boots voucher and points, i got some sweets for sis and mum too. And lots of diet foods for work. Plus some aromatherapy thing on sale. Good day all round.
Made up my sausage and veg casserole for next few days too.
Boots are doing these cute coke lunch bags, so got one for me and the sis. They are only £1 each!
I also got some cheap dirt from asda, seeds and pots from pound shop to grow my own veg in the garden! I will plant these in the morning

Ok never written down what I plan or have done ina day before but will give it a go:

* Walk into town for some free excercise and a mooch round town with OH
* Undertake mystery shop whilst in town, and then enter results when get home and hopefully if all ok earn £10.00
* Buy 5 birthday cards and 2 mothers day cards from the cheap selection in Clintons, and of not there try Wilkinsons
* No heating on till tonight
* Check bank accounts
* Try to attempt not to give cat lunch as a) she needs to go on diet and b) save the food
* Make home made lunch for OH and I instead of opting for naughty something in town (howvere may buy doughnut as treat!)
* Try and get afternoon nap to make up for waking at 2.40am and not being able to get back to sleep thanks to bump (am 27+5 pregnant) and OH's snoring
* Try and get a dinner together out of bits in freezer and maybe spuds in cupboard if still looking ok.
* Check music magpie to see if they will take some cds that they haven't previously wanted.

I guess thats a good place to get started!!!!

Afternoon everyone!

It's suddenly gone all dark and drizzly and cold. It was beautiful up to an hour ago!

Today I have/will do

- Walked into town - save bus fare and keep fit
- Stuck to list in Wilkos
- Got yet more seeds - lettuce, spring onion, beetroot and sweet peas. If it's dry tomorrow will do some more sowing outdoors.
- Planted early potatoes
- First 'feed' of the year for shrubs and bushes
- Onion sets in pots have established roots well - will be ready for going in the ground by next weekend
- Washing now on airers round the house (was outside)
- Store cupboard brekkie
- Yesterdays left over pasta for lunch
- Freezer dinner
- Checked online banking - all good
- Vacuumed whole house
- Free scratchies
- Change into sealed pot
- Found a bit of roadkill.

Think that's it for today.

Hugs all round x

Hi All,

Thank goodness its the weekend - been one heck of a week!

I am now officially unemployed. I have decided (if I was offered it) not to take the temping job that I spoke about on Wednesday. The main reason is that it would be too stressful. However, I have been proactive in jobhunting. I have lined up meetings with agencies next week, and made sure that people know that I am job hunting.

As I have not posted for the past couple of days....I have

• paid cash for things wherever possible
• checked up on bonus at work (daily as I am no longer there)
• need to submit a timesheet for last weeks hours
• I need to make a list of notes on suppliers (I offered to do this before I left)
• look into claiming JSA
• looked online for jobs
• tried not to spend any money
• need to plan a weeks menu
• catch up on sleep as I have not been sleeping too well, and now have a cold because of it
• do more college work

Think that is about it....take care everyone

Candy xx
