  • Hi everyone,

    Had a bit of a slow start this morning, computer has been playing up for ages screen not starting when computer started up, Well discovered not computer which is guaranteed but screen that is not, but ds has lots of old screens hanging around, so I have borrowed one of those, this may be a long term borrow, dont want to spend the money on a new one.

    Today I have
    Checked online banking
    Needs to be a nsd (yesterday wasn't, broke budget and bought a drink each for ds and I when we were in town)
    Was going to lottie and pick fruit etc, but too wet now.
    Need to do cleaning, (why is this mse, while I am cleaning I am not spending money.
    DS loaf in breadmaker
    Only little bit of washing so that can go on quickwash
    Prep for seeing client later (do couple of hours work)

    So need to get my act together, otherwise in my usual style nothing will get done:eek:
    My finances are work in progress.
    Normal veiwing will resume shortly

    I wouldn'y worry PIPSMUM - they have also tripled how many points each reward costs, so actually you haven't lost anything. ;) Don't know why they bothered really.

    Pip's mum, relax about the pigsback - they more than tripled the requirements for cashing them in. :rotfl:You done good!
    Seems to me the goal posts move just out of reach everytime I'm nearing a reward! :mad: (moved to £11.50 for a £10 voucher :confused:, now 3750 points.)

    And as for whoever was saying "e-bay is never-ending" , mine is never starting :o

    So today I have/will:
    • brought in packed lunch
    • aiming for a NSD
    • charge phone @ work
    • washing at 60 (towels) but line dried
    • mobilise DD & DS2 for organising a Boot sale to get rid of clutter.
    • persuade sis to visit Aged P's with me - I'll do the toll, she can do the petrol ;)
    • re jig the present cupboard and update Christmas list :xmastree:
    • go to auditions tonight - my social life costs me 20p an evening ;)
    have a great day everyone :A

    Hello,

    Can't shift this tiredness, despite that here goes:
    - Scratchies
    - Curly
    - Cash back bingo
    - Breakfast home
    - Lunch B00ts
    - Supper leftovers from freezer
    - Worked whole 15 minutes overtime :rotfl:
    - Booked court date to go BR for 7th of October, couldn't believe how long the wait is - it seems that lots of people are going BR at the moment
    - Got forms to take my ex to small claims court due to unpaid child maintenance, since 1st of July CSA is on the case but I am trying to get the old due as well (as it is almost 2k :eek:).
    - Need to get my SOA up to date and send letters with payment offers to creditors to keep them at bay for 3 more months
    - I have decided to apply for the job that I mentioned yesterday - waiting for the application forms to arrive and already practicing in my head for interview :o

    Thanks SM, it would be my dream job so I really hope I get it even if it means finding school + nusery + somewhere to live in very short space of time.

    This forum doesn't stop to amaze me. I googled to find that big car boot sale near here that I have heard about and where did that link take me but back to these forums. Fingers crossed that there is one on this weekend so that I can go and flog off some of my books and other bits and bobs.
