Burlesque Babe's Re-building life but back in debt diary

Burlesque_Babe

I guess I have yes - I bought my Barret Home shares at less than a pound and they are just under 180 now -the money I've been creaming off every so often

Right..........I am going into 'person specification' mode this weekend (I've looked at far too many job description!) and need to create some lists. An 'Essential' list and a 'Desirable' list of things to complete by the time I go to my teacher training class at 12pm on Monday.

Essential
Do daily scratchcard each day (am on £7.60)
Do £100 on AQA
Parcel up and send CD's to musicmagpie
[strike]Do the washing and get it dry and put away[/strike]
[strike]Ensure my teaching folder is complete for observation Monday night[/strike]
[strike]Ensure my teacher training folder is complete for the other observation on Monday night :rolleyes:[/strike]
Take Charlie out each day
[strike]Decide if i'm going to apply for any of the jobs I've found and apply for them[/strike]
Get ingredients for class on Monday night
[strike]Look at bank account and work out situation now extra WTC has gone in - can any of the borrowed £100 go back yet?[/strike]

Desirable
[strike]Change bedding and wash removed bedding[/strike]
Hoover through the house
Dust bedroom
Dust living room
Dust hall
Dust spare bedroom
[strike]Wash the cushion covers from the sofas[/strike]
Do an extra £50 on AQA
Clean toilet and bathroom (I hate this job - bottom of the list!):o


plus the normal stuff - make the bed, do the washing up, put the dry pots away, put the rubbish out.

Still waking up so first job is put the washing out which I did last night. Weather forecast says a dry weekend but it looks a bit dodgy out there!

Shopping is coming between 10 and 12.

As I pressed submit the post came and I have 2 WTC award letters. Need to get some breakfast and wake up the brain cells and see what each one has to say.

Burlesque_Babe

ok, letters read and it all falls into place.

One is the final account for the previous year and they owe me £78. This explains the £78 strange payment which appeared.

One is for the coming year. It has a payment of £46 (the difference between my old and new monthly payment) which explains the other odd payment of £46 and then the award of £110 this month and then £107 in the months to come.

So, that's £20 a month extra I'll be getting which is excellent.

Morning BB

mornin' darlin'

Snaggles

I'm with you on the bathroom cleaning - hate it!

I never do it all at once, I break it into bits, so when I go upstairs, I'll just clean the sink, and the next time I go up, squirt bleach round the loo, then next time, clean the loo, the time after that move all the stuff off the bath (shampoo, shower gel etc) and squirt with cleaner, the time after, clean the bath....etc.

It makes it feel a lot less hassle!

Burlesque_Babe

right - left to pay this month

3x minimum CC payments of £25 = £75
house insurance of £13
Total = £88

Amount left in account is £143. This means I could move back £55 of the £100 I borrowed from my savings account. It will mean having 0.00 in my bank account (literally) but will need to be done at some point in the month.
