    Hi all :j

    I am late posting today as I had to leave for work early. Not very MSE today as I didn't bring my lunch to work as I normally do and have had to buy a sandwich :o

    I did bring an apple and a little pot of hummus for snacks though :j Just didn't have time to make sandwiches.

    Apart from work (which we won't mention :rolleyes:) I have / will:

    Check online banking and move some Amazon money to ISA (done) :T

    See to plants and animals (done for now, more later after work - not another late night thankfully)

    Pennies from purse to put in pig.

    DD and her fiance are coming for supper tonight to celebrate her completing her teacher training course - I was helping her print out her dissertation thing very late last night, and I have told her that SHE is buying the champagne :D

    Have a nice day everyone :hello:

    Back to work ......

    Hi All :hello:

    I'm not having down day or anything but I am starting to worry a bit more about where I am going to get the rest of my target money by the end of the year. Mainly because I don't always get shifts at the restaurant as they have alot of poeple working there and i've asked to do mainly weeknights as I work full time in the week so I need some rest and time to do other things apart from work. If I don't get as many shifts now and I can't get another 2nd job, how am I going to make the rest up by saving as much a poss and by doing extra little things. It seems alot of money to be able to do it. I'm doing the mystery shops but don't get many, I was doing surveys but haven't got to a pay out yet and unsure whether to carry on as I didn't realise I had to tell the tax people until it was over 3 months (I registered in time for the m shops though). How does everyone save so much if they don't do a 2nd job?

    So today:
    Free scratches
    Look for mystery shops
    Drive carefully
    Text man at restaurant about shifts
    Look for breakdown cover as runs out tomorrow

    Hello,

    Nothing exciting from here just catching up on stuff.

    Have a great day everyone!!!
    "Everything will be alright in the end. If it's not alright, it's not the end."

  • Good morning everyone, on here nice and early however i should be on my way to work by now. Leaving in a min....

    Thanks Urg, i will try and do that later, too be honest my whole budget plan has totally gone out of the window as i am behind with things so catching up following month and so on. Silly of me!! Very silly!

    today i need to:
    • list a couple of items on ebay
    • take lunch to work
    • [STRIKE]take forms to drs for change of dr (my current one is useless so i feel changing will be good value for money as where is my national insurance going if i dont get the help i need when i need it)[/STRIKE] will do tomorrow now!!!!!!!!!!
    • prepare all letters which I need to send recorded tomorrow!
    Well am off to work, must try to be motivated and happy today as i am never going to get anywhere if i am continuously struggling with my emotions. I need to look in my work diary and personal to try to work out when i can book some annual leave. I want to try to do a midweek bootsale as i just cant get out at the weekends due to family life!!

    Must stay motivated, must stay motivated, must stay motivated!!!!! Help me, inspire me, must force back side into gear!!!!! :rotfl:

    Well ive just got home from work and have decided to dye my hair (grey hairs and only £2.93 to get rid of them, feeling so down about my appearance so have decided to come straight home, dye my hair pedicure my feet and do a bit of ebay sorting all before i go to cook dinner!!!! I feel this is money saving doing it myself as i would be looking at £70 at my hairdressers which i can not afford which has resulted in hair showing the grey!!! hopefully this will give me a bit of motivation!!!!!!

    Hi All

    Didn't get a chance to post while at work.

    DFM - I think you only need to register for 'self-employed' status once. So, if you are registered for M shops you are also registered for surveys. I hope someone will correct me if I am wrong.

    Here's my list:

    Done:
    • Scratchcard - 20p
    • checked bank accounts and ticked off budget sheet
    Still to do:
    • ironing
    • [STRIKE]walk for 30 mins[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]call best friend in France[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]call mum to make sure all birthday plans are sorted.[/STRIKE]
    • start filling in DVLA form to transfer my license from a paper one to a picture one (should have done it when I moved 3 years ago!)
    • tidy kitchen
    • tidy living room
    • [STRIKE]storecupboard meal[/STRIKE]
    • make lunch for tomorrow
    • decluttering

    Good luck with the interview tomorrow Pookie.

    Chick2 - Good for you on getting the hair stuff, feeling better about yourself will help you be able to deal with everything else in a more positive frame of mind.:D
    Reduce,re-use, recycle.
