Handbags & Gladrags – Confessions of a Recovering Spendaholic

Swinstie73

Sometimes it is never ending Scottishmummy! I clean the house constantly then sit something down and it's cluttered - really need a bigger house to fill with more junk!

Oven not finished, couldn't get the racks cleaned last night so have left them to soak, I'm scared to cook in the oven now incase it goes up in smoke - think will leave for a couple of days til the fumes go.

Well have updated my ticker (actually had to re-do it cos didn't know how to update), and I am now at 30% of debt cleared, was hoping for 40 - 50% by the end of the year, could do it if I try. Not had any word of work (2nd job) and friend suggested phoning them, but they have my number and I don't want to look desperate!

Didn't think this looked right but it is - 6 weeks today will be flying out on hols so need to get house & finances sorted before then. Also bills due, birthday presents left, birthday cards bought for whilst I'm away etc. It's all go - just praying nothing happens in between, like getting pig mumps or something

Sorry peeps, more posts from me, just trying to do all my pay-day updates:

Totals at 1 Jun (last month)

£4,949 - Loan
£5,200 - CC1
£400 - CC2
£0 - CC3
£40 - Catalogue - Total £10,589

Totals now:

£4,803 - Loan
£5,000 - CC1
£285 - CC2
£0 - CC3 has now been cancelled
£30 - Catalogue - Total £10,118

Doesn't look like I achieved too much but paid £1.5K to my CC2 this month as holiday had to be paid, so it went up immensely (sp?) but is lower than it's been in a while. Still on target for 40 - 50% paid by Dec 09 and paid off completely by Sept 10 - if nothing else creeps up before then that is!

Last update of the night - the kitchen is finally done (well ok still the floor to do but can't be ar*sed getting down on my hands and knees to do it right now). Will do it tomorrow then make a start on the bathroom, don't think it will take long, put up new shower curtains recently and have clean bathmats to put down so shouldn't be a problem. It's the Bedroom of Doom I'm more worried about, should get mattress protector and sheets back on tomorow - will sleep under a sleeping bag again tonight, feels like I'm camping!

Well nite all, bed in 5 mins for me I think! x

savingholmes

wow - those lists are still sooo long! You sound like you are working like a trooper on sorting the house tho...

Hope you get to enjoy some of that lovely free sunshine too

Hi Swinstie73, I found this on the Ticker site.

How do I login?
TickerFactory.com does not use any registration system or ask for any personal identification (such as email address). Tickers using data that needs to be updated (weight loss, exercise...) only requires you to know the ticker web address and the PIN protecting the modifications to its data. If you use the code provided on TickerFactory.com, just clicking on your ticker will lead you to its update page. From there you can edit its style and its data.

Not tried it yet ...

Swinstie, before my LBM, I'd be in heaven in Boots. I so love toiletries. I have curbed my cravings somewhat though I do still dabble in the 241's at the supermarket.

The storage space I have allocated for toiletries is fit to burst!!!

hey Swinstie dude - just popping in to say hello and catch up with you. You are a cleaning marvel!!!
