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!)

All positive stuff then ... almost two debt free peeps:j :j will be September before you know it:D

Good luck with the job hunting candy - you are being very proactive in the way you are going about it so I'm sure something will materialise soon.:D

Thanks very much......I had my leaving lunch at a local pub yesterday afternoon, and announced that I was not going to take the job. They thought that I was mad until I explained that I was too stressed last time I had the job, and I was not going to put myself through that. When I mentioned the meetings I had next week and that I looked on the web day and night for a job, they commented on how much I had done while I still had a job.

One of them mentioned that there was a role with the local housing association, so I will look into that....it is a 1 year contract, but I need a solid year on my CV.

Take care

Evening all,

My dfw things for today:

• Breakfast – continuing to use up box of Ready Brek
• DH work shirts all ironed :A
• Washing done at 30 deg and hanging indoors
• Kitchen floor cleaned
• M&S – used gift card/ voucher so no cash spent
• M&S – had bag so didn’t pay for one
• Tesco – got points from receipt added at customer services
• Tesco – got 6 points for re-using 3 large bags
• Tesco – got a couple of mags
• Cut vouchers x 2 out of above mag
• Put more coupons into purse
• Printed off 2 free choc coupons before leaving the house
• Bodyshop – Got 2 x free choc bars for DS and I :T
• Burger King – lunch (for DH, DS and I) – used snapfax (so 10% off), used £3 in luncheon vouchers, £6.06 cash spent, took back 1 sachet of ketchup rather than binning it
• Requested a free muesli sample through Pigsback
• Didn’t go to the cinema earlier as DH fell asleep :rolleyes: (saved money on tickets)
• Emptied box of new washing up powder into my already open box of washing up powder so I have a bit more space in cupboard
• E-mailed Ebay 'buyer' another invoice as they haven't paid yet despite buying in the afternoon on Thursday.

That’s all I can think of.

For signature go to top of page find userCP on the turquoise bar, click on that, look down left side for edit signature, enter what you want to put in box, then click to save. Think it lets you do 4 lines.

Is it too late to join the party?

I've been rubbish lately. Those who read my diary will know why. To all others -> well it doesn't really matter for here.

This weekend I will

- go to my class (My Big future investment)
- I will spend some time with OH, this involves spending money but also comes under the heading of future investment at the moment
- Last night went to a free art show thingy that my friends class put on and then went straight home rather than via the pub
- Tonight I decided to stay home rather that join my friends out. My brain will thank me for the sleep
- I WILL do some washing (I'm drowning in it at the moment)
- I will read instead of doing electrical based activities as much as possible
- I will re-start 'The Big Clearout' (Will this EVER be complete?? how much stuff can one person that hates shopping own?!)
- I will fill out the job application for the internal vacancy at work, ok, so I may not want to stay in that line of work forever but a new challenge would be good.
- I will stick to only having the one storage heater on - my new windows are FABULOUS!!

I think that's all for now, I'm going to put in a load of washing.

B.I.A.B

KTjazz.
ps, I promise not to leave it so long in future!
