I had a wake up call at 6.30am, by Bailey, apparently Bailey was having a tecky itch so dad left him the hall way when he went andgot his lead, next thing Bailey makes abreak for freedom, straight to ny room, knudges me arm and curls by the side of me to have his bely ticked, he was most put out at being taken back downstairs.

Be fun this morning, were heading to Matalan for a new school coat..... which knowing dd will turn into 101 things...... trying to begood, and take £40 so thats all can be spent. xx

mum2one

Slight change of plan with Matalan, after student discount it came to £77.... but did buy myself pr 3/4navy trs, 3 posh vest tops, (£25 for the lot), from Rodgers and Rodgers side, then considering I wouldn't of got pr trs for under £25 at Evans, so turned a negative spend into a positive one.

Now decided to set some personal challenges for May-

List 30 things on ebay and sell at least 15 - (listed 17 last ngt for 7 days got quite a few watchers, and so far one top will sell.)

Keep a food diary for a week, everything has to be listed and times, that way I hope I can see what/where/why my "danger spots are", then act on it

Get myself weighed at Boots (thou its £1 - give me a height, weight range and a proper weight limit)

I nor dd need any new clothes for the month, (she needs sandals, but shes got a narrow foot, be fun +games)

To do at least 1 car boot sale - means getting their at 6am.... ask Uncle nicely if I can borrow his pasteing table

Finish main assisgnment on time (Friday -plan is do thurs + fri)

Get next assisgnment on time (end of May), got 2 weeks after that for the exam)

Get myself 2 weeks in advance on 2 new courses.....

Attend all 3 tutorials this month, 2 clash, so doing morning with one, afternoon with the other - get £16 petrol in expenses for attending tutorial, 70 mile round trip - so thats £6 spare - claim 2 sets

Claim paper and ink back from open uni - cost me £45 set of ink cartridges (look for cheaper set on ebay)

Think this month is a minimum payment (not min cards, but snowball mimimum )

Chase up halifax re bank charges, not even had an acknowledgement letter, not sure whether thats good or bad

Cancel sky movies, had them on a cheapie deal, never got round to cancelling it

Do not order anything from Avon I have enough to last a lifetime...

Try not to tell a certain mother what I think of her at the pta meeting

Recheck finances, as may do some balance transfers to Barclaycard, (means grovelling that I've changed my mind on balance increase, but save in long run.

Think thats me sorted for the month!

A miracle happened 2day, it was the monthly bank run, take dds change in, had 2 cardis to take back to M&S (they were sale rail very mse), didn't fit dd, knowing me I'd be tempted to buy something, I sent darling daddy! (thats the I want something....) he went to M+S for me.

Not quite a spend free day, as I brought him coffee, but he drives me so can't complain!

Hi

No probs at all, half the time I ramble, but trying my hardest to get debt free........
Thank you re 3k mark, made a good dent, but could do with a money tree in the back garden!!
Yes, if I month goes by and I haven't got in a pickle or complained, it wouldn't be me.
Pop by anytime, I'd offer you a virtual coffee, or we could blow the budget and a have a virtual glass of wine! xx

:beer: Let's go for the virtual one...but between you and me I have yet another brandy and coke, I could get quite used to this
As for rambling, I know I ramble on my diary but I think it does help.
