Excellent...good result for a Monday

Thanks Lovely Had a really nice weekend & was lovely to come back to that :T But someone from Russia asked how much to sent something over to them, but obviously I missed the message as I was away, she bidded on it anyway & now is disputing the postage cost on the invoice I sent!! Other people had bid on it as well so I'm a bit annoyed that she did & now doesn't want to pay the postage!!
Hope all is good with you? My plan for tomorrow is to catch up with diaries! :T

Hi, lovely diary... i was reading and thinking since you owe your oh the amount of a decent car why not save it all up and buy him the car with what you owe him or tell him when you have the amount you owe him and then he can choose the car he wants, or if hes fully thinking whats mine is yours why dont you put the 9k back on the mortgage and thus reducing your mortgage technically thats means all is fair and its a win win situation keep up the good work missus x

Hello HTBDF & thanks for the post

LB has his heart set on a Seat Leon FR & he does know the plan & roughly when I'm going to pay him back but sometimes I daydream of ways to pay him back sooner ... also I can't deprive him of the test drives!! :rotfl: We'll need a car sooner rather than later to replace mine so we can't really put it on the mortgage ... although it was what he suggested first but I think this is best for both of us. Also, it's going to be a car with a big enough boot for a PRAM :D:D I'm so broody it's almost not fun anymore! We have to wait quite a while for that to happen so I'm *trying* to push it to the back of my mind!

Thanks for the support (it's always welcome!)

To be honest I just don't think I'm ready or the LB just yet. Also, I'm hoping to get on a 3 year Diploma this September & then a 2 year degree after that so I really want to finish all that before we start a family. And I'm hoping we'll get married before we start a family; pay back this money; have some savings; & maybe make a dent in the mortgage ... big plans!!

This weekend we were away with friends that have a 3 year old & a 18 month old, and I'm totally shattered! And we had the evening 'off' and a lie in every morning! I really don't know how parents do it, the constant ness of it? The absolutely never ending 24/7 ness of it! :eek: Clearly I'm not ready!! Well maybe one day ... but I swear my eggs are ticking!!!

I had hoped that I would return to work all refreshed but two minutes in the office & I'm ready to go home!

OK enough feeling sorry for one's self! Plan for the week (until Fri):

1. Remember it's Tuesday & not Monday
2. Organise work & complete most important tasks
3. Unpack bags
4. Tidy Lounge
5. Clean bathrooms
6. Do meal plan for next few nights
7. Check internet banking & work out what was spent at the weekend :rolleyes:
8. Start on personal statement

It's going to be a tiring week as I have to work Friday as I was off yesterday & I've got a early shift Saturday (7.5 hours) and a long day on Sunday (12.5 hours, I think!) & straight back in on Monday. Next week I'm working the Fri, Sat & Sun as well so my next day off is Fri 26th! :eek::eek:

But it's all money in the bank :j:T:beer: Need to focus on that!

Just put £8.19 into the LB savings account from my ebay profits. It's not much but it makes me feel better That leaves me with £20 in my ebay account - I have a seperate account to pay for postage & packaging & ebay fees etc. And I have £40 coming into that soon! :D

Small steps ...
