Hi Guys,
Last night I had no sleep due to the excitement of nearly being debtfree, there is a twist- the debt company will only accept the money via credit or debit card. Since my credit card limit is £500 and I dont have a debit card, it complicates things. Basically I have to go to the bank later, take the money out of my current account and the savings account, and put it into my best friends current account so that she can ring them and pay with her debit card. If someone was offering me £2,200 I dont think I'ld be as fussy as my creditos :rotfl:
So today I have/will:
*checked online banking
*daily scratch- 50p bonus + 10p:j
*post book that I've sold on amazon
*post card to DS's nan
*make a photo CD and send to my aunty
*wait for Virgin media to come and fix my phone line-sometime before midday
*Go to bank and shuffle the finances
*stick to meal plan-HM cottage pie from freezer
Thats all for now

morning all
I need to steal URG's mantra. I have 2 assignments due in for next week!!
Feeling quite chuffed with myself. Last night, dragged DD into garden and made her cut down a tree for me whilst I dug the veggie patch in preperation for seedlings, cut the grass and strimmed around the edges. Looks damn good. Fruit trees have lots of buds showing. Not really expecting fruit this year (just planted out last summer) but they are starting to look good.
Today I will
- check online banking
- take some cash out to spend at B&Q tonight (just got a 15% off voucher for Homebase so may go there instead)
- check online CC
- scratch and click - (10p, 10p, 4p, 1p)
- catch up with friends on facebook
- try and find my mobile. Its been MIA for 3 days now
- meals from freezer (taken out a chilli and a veggie soup)
- ironing and put washing away
- take dd to her free youth club and DONT get a starbucks
- check pigsback (5p clickthru for snapfish woo hoo)
- read all my mail from last few days and reply to what is necessary
- try applying for an ILA since I have been turned down for funding for next OU course (only allowed 60 points in one year
)
Thats me for now

Morning all:p
I still have the pain in my abdomen, been there since Mon night now and it's worrying me - my imagination running wild I guess, wish it would go away:sad: I'm very tired too as ex rang house phone at 1am cos his dad, my girls grandad, rushed to hospital and all the kids were summoned. He's ok for now, but they don'w know what's wrong. Poor man, has cancer, but we thought he wasdoing really well.
So, probably a very quiet day for me, just got laptop on the sofa under a blanket.
I'm going to splash out and join Weightwatchers online as I dug out the summer clothes yesterday and my skirts/trousers all too tight:eek: Not a huge amount, but I'm about half a stone more than I was last year and cant afford to buy a new wardrobe! So I'm going to pay for WW, via Quidco of course, but if I pay I think it'll make me stick to it. Have done it before and it worked well for me.
OK, enough waffle....a list:- Check banking and moved £10 scratchcard money to savings
- Daily scratchcards - 50p for logging in, 20p and 25p
- Heating off
- Read papers online
Hope you all have a good day:DI really need to sort out a new signature!0 -
