    Oh....i've been good - i have done my filing :j Didnt even take me that long as a lot of could be ditched! Well its done now and it looks a lot better!!!!

    Going to do some work in a bit and catch up with that. Going to do a few other things on the lappie as well.

    Have done my plan for this week so far. I have decided I'm not going to worry about the tax bill until my nat ins is paid - i need to find another 32.50 to get this paid next week - should be easy as long as dont need to spend anymore this week :rolleyes: as it can come out of our money!!

    It seems I have got my motivation back again :j YAY :j Guess everything was just getting on top of me. Going to do a bit of work and cook some dinner :A
    Hope everyone is having a good BH weekend :D

    Thanks Kirsten - feeling a bit better today even though it is 4pm and i havent done much other than entertain DS. He is having a nap so thought i'd come and have a mooooooch on MSE as been getting withdrawl shakes recently :D

    Done scratchies and banking. Nothing unsurpising there. Things that have happened MSE wise that need to update u on..

    * OH now borrowing dads car. insurance was lots...so have had to use the nat ins money to get it paid so he was legal. Im sure i can find it cheaper when it renews but is mid policy etc etc etc :eek:
    * SIL has now admitted that she doesnt think she can afford to pay back the money she owes us. I had kinda guessed that already :rolleyes::mad: but ive now officially added it to our debt figures. DH/I have agreed its not worth falling out wth her over as that just makes everyones lives rubbish. we said we were annoyed, hey ho what can we do and its just a lessoned learnt. We have def agreed that we arent lending ANYONE any money ever now WHATEVA the cirx. Our borrowing days are over :rotfl: about time really considering we are in 30k debt ha ha ha

    Plan for the rest of the day is to do a bit of work :eek:, tidy up (ds been running wild today :D) and get an early night to see if that helps again.

    Its really taking it out of me this lurgy - hopefully tomorrow i can start to think about paying my tax as i need to know i can pay it when due :eek:

  • Afternoon...

    :eek: MSE down - phew - its back!

    Done banking and scratchies. Have duly transferred over the £ to each of the saving pots :D It feels nice to be organised for once :j

    Plan for rest of today is -

    1/work when DS is napping
    2/get ready for work tonight :rolleyes:
    3/eat

    Too busy with work today to worry about money for tax. It is on my list though! As long as I have serious think about it by the weekend it will be okay ;)

    Best get some lunch!

    Done banking and scratchies. nothing interesting to report on really.

    have updated figures and total debt is now - £30,719.83 Its gone up this month as i'm now including the SIL's debt that we wont get money for :eek:

    I've taken it out my sig as its too depressing to look at every day so i'll just note it on here every month instead. My SOA is working well as i've transferred money over to all the saving 'pots' so for the first time in history I think we have money set aside for car, xmas, clothes etc etc. Its a really nice feeling :) and we aren't skint. We still have the budgetted amounts for food and odds and sods etc. Its nice!!! It makes a refreshing change.

    Plan for today is -

    1/cleaning list DONE
    2/work hours
    3/think of plan for tax
    4/ironing :oSTARTED THERE IS LOTS.....
    5/comps and freebies
    6/chase sky for mr t voucher YEP - EMAIL SENT
    7/odd job list
    8/chat with OH about car boot :rolleyes: YEP DONE SOME CHATTING

    Think thats about it - DS is just back with mum from play group so will update later
