Hi Buffy - Good to see you too - yes busy does not seem to match how it has been recently. Got so much to do - just need to keep my head down and get it done.

New job starts tomorrow - I'm quite nervous but I need to get off here and into bed. I need to finish off my night time routines a al Flylady - I'm still trying.

Here is my list for the next week - most of it is a copy from last week as I didn't get much done!

1. Contact cousin about her experience with one of my potential suppliers
2. Excercise x 4
3. NSD x 3
4. Arrange meeting with Wedding supplier
5. Create a Home Exercise plan that works for me
6. Do my Flylady tasks every day -
   1. 15 mins on room of the week
   2. 15 mins on decluttering
   3. Weekly plan
7. Bedroom - it feels never ending
8. Order fabric for quilt for friend.
9. Book gas safety certificate
10. 1 hour of work per day to catch up and with outstanding work
11. Meal plan for the week and track my food.

Have a great week everyone.

Good night.

Thanks Taxi

First day was very good. I am very tired and coming down with a cold. My poor flatmate sounds really unwell in the living room next door! I came to the bedroom because I can't cope with the telly!

I am supposed to do some work to catch up on the old job but I don't think my brain will work. I have decided that I will go and do my nightly routines of washing up; packing my 'school' bag; making some lunch; boiling the kettle for the hot water bottle and 15 mins of decluttering.

I will have a tidy flat - slowly and steadily. I have a whole load of papers that I have picked up from my desk that I have never filed . I am going through them to work out what can be chucked and what needs to be filed when I go back. A few minutes every evening is working a treat!

One resolution I have for the new job is that I will not allow myself to let it get to that level ever again!!!! I have already filed some paperwork from my first day!

Waving to everyone

Glad you had a good 1st day.
I agree doing a bit each day and then keeping on top is the way forward.
Hope you feel better soon.

Hey urg!

Hope you are feeling better soon, snuggle up with your hot water bottle and get an early night. I need to take heed of your list making, I always say I will do a list then never do it. WTG for the tidy flat, can you come and help me?! x

Yeah right :rolleyes:- you were doing so well before you went on holiday. It sounded like you really had made in-roads.

It's so hard to keep it going - I am just hoping that by doing this way (babysteps) that I am learning the right habits!

Hope you are feeling better. I know you have been through a tough time.

Will catch up with your diary later this week

Didn't get very much of last week's jobs done at all! New job etc. I am going to use the same list for this weekend. I may come back to change things tomorrow.

Went to a friends wedding yesterday which was lovely. I am so tired, but also very grateful for the extra hour this weekend.

I have had a nightmare with my mobile phone - the section that the charger goes in doesn't work anymore. I didn't think I'd get it replaced on insurance so I was panicking about how I would cope - I called on the offchance and I am getting a new phone tomorrow evening. I LOVE ORANGE!!!!

Payday on Tuesday and I have already gone mad on the food shopping. I really do need to eat from stores over the next few weeks! I MUST stick to budget once i get paid. I'll have to think about the November goals over the next week. Lots of wedding things really do need finalising. I am bored of going around lots of suppliers. I just wish I could pick it off a shelf and turn up on the day!

Waving to you all.

What a day! I'm still waiting for the phone to be delivered. I also managed to lose my travel card so need to contact Oyster to get a new card. I waited over 10 mins on the phone and only moved up 4 places before getting cut off. I'll try again in a minute.

Just updated the budget for November. Here's my post from the pay off £20K by Christmas 09.

November payday tomorrow!

Paying off: £1431
New debt total: £4944
Total paid since December: £15477

What's really annoying is that I managed to add £400 to the debt this month grrrrrrr!

Still - I did manage to get sub £5000 this month!!!!!

Waving to you all
