Keeping the bookadict on track diary...

Good Morning all,

I hope you're having a great weekend and not spending too much money?

I've got a confession to make, on friday I bought a take-away for me and my other half. I just couldn;t be bothered to cook. I know that you have to treat yourself every now and again, but I've got lots of nice food in the cupboard freezer.

Yesterday I did spend some money in Sainsburys on baking stuff, so I could make banana bread and a sponge cake. there isn't much left so they must have be nice?!?

My daily clicks feel by the way side yesterday, i intend to get back on the band waggon again today. I shall have to think long and hard for some inspiration for things to search for.

Today is going to be a lazy day - apart from hoovering the carpet and the sofas.

enjoiy the rest of your weekend.

Morning all,

The sun is shining :T and I feel on top of the world!

This morning got off to a bad start, the milk in the fridge was off so I had to get some milk. Bang goes my nsd! Yesterday I'm pleased to report was a nsd and I did lots of my cross stitch, read and even went for a bike ride. Oh and I made some rolo cookies - yummy!

Like always I've bought my own lunch into work, a cup a soup, yoghurt and lots of fruit and a book to read!

I'll also complete my daily clicks as well throughout the course of the day and onepoll surveys! I've found that getpoundsback doesn't track for me at the moment and I've been stuck on 55p for the past 2 weeks! :mad:

I've been checking greenmetropolis over the weekend and not sold another book - oh well!! I'm averaging about one a month, I suppose it's better than nothing!!!

Right time to crack on with some work and think of different ways that I can reduce my df date. Any ideas are welcome.

Afternoon everyone,

The sun is shining here and the dark cloud of debt is still there but doesn't look like it's going to drown me in great big droplets of rain! It's surprising how a little bit of sun can make you feel posititve :T

The daily clicks and onepoll surveys have been coming along nicely! I've tried to converet my lightspeed points into a voucher and it's not letting me. I keep getting errors on the page! :mad: I'll have to keep trying, otherwise I might have to send an email to complain!

I'm not sure what to have for tea - there's lots of stuff in the freezer and cupboards. I'll have to take a peak when I get home. I really should do a meal plan, but some nights I get home and I fancy something different to what I've put down.

I've also decided that I'm going to keep to doing a small amount of housework each morning/evening - that way at weekends I can spend time relaxing and doing things that I like.:cool:

Right time to crack on with some work.

Morning all,

The sun is shining again - yippie! And I'm feel summery!

Today I've got mixed feelings about my pesky debts - the cloud is there and I know that each month is decreased by a little bit! I should stop dwelling on it, as it will make me sad!

On a more posititve note the pesky First Direct Overdraft is below £350 - I've got to pay them an additional £10 to the £5 that they get from payplan. The money they get from PP covers the interest. I can't wait for this to be gone - it will be one debt down lots more to go!

I'm still doing the daily clicks and have signed up to lots more - the repitition is a tad boring but it's money for a few minutes of my time. Plus it's a good thing to do when there's not much on telly.:T

Still no news on the OH and his future in the RAF - I hate playing the waiting game. :mad:

As always I've bought my own lunch in, cous cous with butter beans, sweetcorn and lots of herbs and spices followed by a yoghurt and lots of fruit. Tonight is going to be fish and vegetables.

As the weather is nice, I'm going to go for another bike ride - probably only for 20 minutes as I feel knackered afterwards! At least it's fresh air and I'm getting some exercise which is going to help with the diet!

Right time to crack on with some work and to see if I've sold any books on Greenmetrpolis!

Afternoon all,

The sun has vanished for the remainder of the day! :mad:

I'm feeling a tad down in the dumps today, I promise it has nothing to do with my debt and due to the lack of sleep. I was up at 1.30 then 3.30 and a 6.45 I decided to give up trying to get some shut eye and got up. :mad:

As I'm sleepy, I've got no motivation to do any of my daily clicks. ARGH. That's soo unlike me. I'll try and crack on with them when I get home.

Being sleepy isn't helping my diet, I've been eating nothing but carp today!!! I think I've put back on the 1lb that I've lost this week!

Right, I'm going to crack on with some work

Afternoon all,

The sunshine has gone and it's raining. :mad:

I've not posted for ages as work's been a tad hectic and office politics has been rife!!!

My df journey faltered for a few days as I found that I was spending money almost everyday. I'm pleased to say that I'm now back on the straight and narrow and have got a padlock on my purse!!! :rotfl:

I've also been slack on the daily clicks too - please don't shout at me. It might explain why I've got a payment of 18p pending from Quidco. I've also discovered fatcheese too, the daily clicks are worth 67p which is about £20 a month. Yeah! :T

There's still no news on my other half, he's been advised that he has to wait another 4-8 weeks before a decision will be made!!! :mad: We've already waited 4 weeks, it's getting annoying. If he's going to be kicked out he needs to start looking for a job - which in this cliimate is goingt o be hard.

On a posititve note, I've got max commision next month. That will be put to one side so that I can pay a lump sm to my creditors!

Right time to crack on with some work./

Good to see you again

bookadict

Thanks Beanielou - it's nice to be back. Plus it's payday today - yeah.:T I shouldn't get too excited as all my bills go out within hte next couple of days..I hate being a grown up sometimes!!!!

This morning I was seriously dedicated to my daily clicks, I was doing them at 7.10 and also completed several surveys too.

I'm still trying to transfer my lightspeed points to my paypal account and I'm being told that that the page is unable to be displayed.:mad:

I also checked my bank account where all my book money gets transferred to and it's looking healthy £30.12. If only there were a couple of extra zero's on the end - I'd be soo much happier!

We've had an update of sorts on Thursday about my other halfs future in the RAF - I'm as nervous as hell now. I wish he hadn't told me that in two days time he could have no job. ARGH!!!

This lunchtime I'm going to pay another £10 off of my First Direct Overdraft. Once I've cleared that I'll do a little dance in the bank me thinks! LOL.

Work think I'm a tad strange as I'm saving up all my coppers to buy myself a Radley handbag. Before I'd started on the road to being df I would have paid for it with a credit or debit card without a seconds thought, whereas I'm now saving for it I may end up changing my mind and using the £135 (yes that's right!!!) to pay off my debts!:eek: Which I expect I'll probably end up doing.

Right time to crack on with some work me thinks before I get into trouble!!

Radleys are fab but have to say now seem so expensive*s igh.*

bookadict

As part of my daily clicks I do a search for Radley bags and sit at my desk and salavate!! I know that one day I'll have the Radley bag of my dreams - probably when I'm old and grey!

I was naughty at lunchtime and got a sandwich - and I've got to say it was horrid. It was meant to be a chedder cheese, onion and mayo. Yeah right - it was a mayo sandwich! I'm going to send an email to Marks and Spencers to complain. Gosh I sound like an old fart there!

I'm trying soo hard not to think about Thursday and the update on the medical review board. I know I shouldn't but it's going to be a life changing event that's for sure - I know he might get a small pay out and a pension that will help, however it's the fear of the unknown.

ARGH - I must stop thinking about it, as it's not going to do me any favours at all and I'll end up being ill - like I was at the start of my df journey! Which I certainly don't want that's for sure.

Right time to crack on with some work and try to stop thinking about the future!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
