As usual never speak too soon- the car needed petrol, had allocated £40, but just put £20 in, half full, got no real running around to do.

Been productive with money -
Pd £60 off Capital One
Repaced £159 (when get to town 2mor) back in A+L.

It leaves me borderline brassic, but not going out, all debits paid, cars got petrol, and got to get my head down and study Mon/Tues then Wed/Fri get the assisgnment done.

I had a 2 week extension, coz of damaging shoulder over xmas, but I need to get infront and the next chapter is accountancy (help!!)

Ended up going to Pizza Hut Sat with the kids, had a half price voucher, so came in £15 for the 3 of us, McDonalds would of been £13 so had a better day.

DD had her pratice ballet and tap exam today, she did well.

My ebay listings went fab, sold 28/49 and before postage/ebay share /paypal cuts got £115. But I only get £3 as the rest was dds she sold a wack of her ds games - you have to offer free postage!!

Her friends dad came and set her wii up, shes v exicted, she asked if I wanted to try the balance board and yoga..... I nearly pee'd myself laughing.

Shes brought (she gave mum £5 towards it)

but Bailey didn't get a look in, its in the front rm so he can get use it.... she sat on it most of the time bless her.

Also looked into on-line diet, narrowed it down toweight watchers, slimming world and Tesco diets, - set myself a challenge of losing 1 stone by 31st March...
Think weight watchers got free registration, and cashback with Quidco, thought aim for Feb,I've got Jan out of way, and less stressed!!! and can have a batch at it. Can't do face to face, so online better for me.

More good news, again on mums front, shes now entilted to a stair lift, there sending someone else out about it, think were now on person 4.... but can't complain. DD has to have a health and safety lesson on how to use it, course she thought that was so she didn't have to walk up or down the stairs again!! Its to make sure if owt happens she can use the control.

DD has now decided Bailey should take his sunbed on holiday with him, incase we have gd weather....

Paid £100 back into the Alliance account, as I had ot use it earlier, still £70 short, but see how soon that can go back in.

Had a little treat for myself yesterday for all the debt paying, spent £6.00 in Body Shop, they've brought back some 80s favourites, got Banana Shampoo and Conditioner, £3.99 each or 2 for £6.00, so that my treat, feel good with the debtbusting, not every month is going to be as brill as this months repayments, (its only becuase some of my payments go in 4 weekly, so one month get double, so this yr the plan is not to class as a spend, but to chuck extra off a debt, as its like a bonus.

Finally got all the ebay money in, and after postage and fees dd has made shes cleared £85.00. so shes going to get a couple of bits for her wii, as she wants tp have 4 sets of all the controllers and the nunchucks, so bless her, shes got a heart of gold.

We had a letter of the headmaster yesterday....... thought here we go, but no good news, dd had been put into the gifted child register for her reading, 1st thing she said was I guess that means I get a present.......!! x

What a day, the printer died on me this morning, so trip up to Argos, my model they don't do (it was only 4 months old), was going for the next model £50 (had £40 from the other printer, that was out of stock, but the next 2 models up had been reduced from £100 to £60.

Thats all set up, and had a little play around, thou for some reason my copy only does a 1/4 of the page!!

Finished assisgnment, missed out 1 part but it was only worth 5 points, and I'd been on it since 1pm, so by 11.30pm lost the plot.... Don't hold out much hope, but I've given it my best shot.

DD came home with another certificate for being extremely well behaved in class, shes more exicted with her sales on ebay.

dads visa bill came today, very nice of a certain retailer to refund us twice for an xmas purchases, so £120 box we only paid £20 for!!

No more news on the debt from, Sunday plan Febs money, at least with it being 28days short month, intend to have 14 no spend days, going to be really tough with myself. xx

Well done to your DD Mum, she is doing really well in school. Hope your assignment is going well, in case you ever get tempted dont do W221 (employment law) it is horrific! Start W200 next week so hopefully that will be good xxxx

I did look at w221 but they recommend w200 1st...... thats way ahead in the future!!

Good and bad day...
DD was sick all over mother:rotfl:just after dd got out of the bath!! Brightened up a bit after that, took dad to see the Agatha Christie play, it was absolutely brilliant, not a play that I would of jumped up, but thought broaden the horizons...

Had phone call 2ngt, my uncle passed away, its really knocked mother for 6, her 2 brothers are older, but she was closer to this one, always took the mick out of her, when her hair grows I always said your the spitting imagine of your Melvyn... always riled her.

He's been ill for the last 10 years, progressively getting worst, he had asbestos of the lung, he worked round cars all his life and atone stage run a body repair/ spray paint garage..... before all the legislation came in force. He'd been on oxygen permantely, couldn't go far, just so hard as his grandaughter is just 2 weeks younger than dd.

It sounds stupid I've had a few tears, but we weren't close as years ago there was a big bust up at my 18th party, turned out to be one of the other guests was his mistress....... been mum whos kept the family link going.

Hugs to you xx
