urg's 123 Back to Basics Debt Free Plan

urg123

Morning All

What a lovely day.

I have a pretty good week money wise - a £5 and £1 wins on the scratchies and a £5 Quidco payout due as well. I have also paid off an extra £200 off the CC debt and have identified another £500 to use.

Lots to do today! I am determined to get a few things done today so that I can enjoy a few hours doing fun things.

This weekend I will:

• Complete application for job (CV needs a good revamp)
• Get to the bottom of the ironing pile
• More washing
• Look for a new hanging airer (mine has broken)
• transfer money to CC
• Clean bathroom
• clean kitchen
• 30 mins tidying bedroom and decluttering
• Order subscription to work related magazine (much cheaper than buying weekly or forgetting to buy it)
• Walk for at least 30 mins
• Create meal plan for the week
• Develop shopping list
• Make pasta bake to take for lunch at Dad's tomorrow
• Bake bread

I know that there is more but I can't remember right now

Right - better get on with the job application.

Hope you are both well.

I seem to have a weekly update at the weekend!

We finally ordered the thankyou cards today - it took me ages to do but I managed to find a 50% off thing for signing up to Kodak Gallery. I had signed up via quidco to get 25% off but with 50% offer, it was worth signing up again using the other link.

Once those get here, we'll be able to send the cards out.

I've also finally got so frustrated with the kitchen and bathroom that I have called a guy to come and give me a quote. I am sick of having to make do and seeing a tile working its way away from the wall was the trigger for me today.

I have other stuff happen today which i won't go into here but it really has knocked me for six and I am exhausted both physically and emotionally.

Not sure where I am money wise except today was a NSD.

I haven't achieved much at all. I'll make lunches for tomorrow, iron the small ironing pile (i don't want it to revert to a mountain again) and finish the declutter I started earlier today. That will have to do for this weekend.

HOpe you all have had a better weekend. Here's to a successful week.

This week has been pants. Life is very stressful and I am letting it get to me. It has got better as the days have gone on but I am really exhausted. I really feel like I need a break but not sure I would relax even if I had one.

Gosh - I don't often have such down weeks (it's odd if I have a very down day!). I don't like it.
