Good morning everyone, I had a faboulous NSD yesterday, had a wonderful time at friends wedding, today I have spent £6.oo on breakfast takeaway from local cafe, was lovely though!

Today, we might be going out to lunch with friends but everything is paid for as its a private party, so that will be nice, apart from that my little list for today...

* Laundrey Hokey Cokey
* Clear new small ironing pile :rolleyes:
* Speak to family and friends using free minutes
* Take more piccies for ebay and keep my eye on my items finishing later today
* Finish sorting old clothes out for charity/ recyling/ carboot/ebay
* Meal plan for next week

Have a great day folks x

Good morning everyone.
Yesterday I listed some stuff on ebay and I have already sold a load of dvds. I also closed my savings accounts with alliance and leicester which freed up £3.08 to be paid onto the current account.

Today I will mostly be:

Packaging up the 28 dvds sold so that I can post them tomorrow.
Taking my faulty camera back to Next and not exchanging.
Spending some time at the inlaws so hopefully a NSD for me.

Good luck all in what you are doing today and have a great day.

Morning all

Very tired today- was up very late last night with OH having "the talk" about where we are going in life. He seems to think that I am happy to toddle on as we are for another couple of years without any commitment from him- I'm not! I will be finishing uni in 2 months (thank the Lord!) and will hopefully get a job and be in a position to start some serious money making and saving.

He is already a qualified accountant and has a good wage but he never saves any money! He also has little to show for it at the end of the month and I said if we are serious about saving for a deposit he needs to knuckle down and rein in the spending. So what does he do- rings me and says he is going to bid on a tractor for £1000! I went mental as he doesn't need it and would hardly use it and this started another argument. He wants to buy more land so he can get more animals (he only does the farming on the side with his dad and to be fair it's more of a hobby than a job) and I said I would rather have some bricks and mortar to live in than another field and he basically said it was his money he would do what he wanted.

So I told him in no uncertain terms last night that if that is the way he feels then it would be over because I would never be in a relationship where decisions weren't joint because I never do anything without thinking of him first. Cue an all night talking marathon. So we have finally agreed that a house has to be the priority for us both especially as he refuses to rent anywhere- it's against his principles apparently.

So apart from finally getting my life back on track with him I have

• checked online banking- will be healthier tomorrow when my student loan goes in! Then I will be clearing my capital one card!
• daily scratches- 10p, 10p and 25p
• listing a few things on ebay
• checked paypal dispute- very annoyed at this person as they said they didn't receive it and I entered tracking info last week to say it was delivered to them and dispute won't be resolved until 5th MAY!!!!! Will be ringing tomorrow and giving a piece of my mind!
• Going shopping today with my birthday vouchers and have to get OH a new pair of jeans for his birthday next week
• Have 3 boxes of stuff waiting to be ebayed- might do it later when everyone in my house heads to the pub to watch Man Utd- hope they get beat :rotfl::rotfl:

Hope everyone's weekend was better than mine! Putting on my High School Musical socks to make me feel better!

Hi guys, hope your enjoying the weather. :beer:

Boopydoo, hope you and OH are ok with each other today. I'm single and wish it wasn't the case but after reading your post i think i'm happy to be single for now. You gotta love 'em, but guys can be annoying pains in the 'arris sometimes :rotfl:.

Andan, good luck with your list :eek:. I wouldn't know where to start if i were you . You might want to add, 'organising bigbum's life' to it if you have time. It would be much appreciated .

Mogchops, well done on the carboot sale. Great way to make a little extra cash. I'm thinking of doing ebay, but i had a massive clearout last year and binned everything. Now i have very little to sell. I wish i new of this site earlier :rolleyes:.

Today i have/will :

Pay off small amounts on debts (member of PAD)
Tidy bedroom
Get work clothes ready for tomorrow *boo*
Do ironing *double boo*
Get tax retuns paperwork sorted by the end of the week *triple boo*

Enjoy your day.
