Hit the next £100 amount, on the debt front it all helps out,

Guess my itchy feet got the better of me, and a lot of tooing, frowing, brain busting, hoping that single brain cell worked, but theres a lot gone on with family etc and guess with the saying life begins at 40... I've booked a break for mexico nxt yr for me + dd, bit (about 50% more), but mum said she'd help towards it, I know if the travel ins hadn't paid would of still been on the to-do list, but guess need to do it for us, bit selfish, but its taken a lot of thinking and now or never.

Next revamp - bar the obvious the weight....... hides behind the dodgy knee for now!!, re-look at my 40 things to do before 40, have a mini revamp and going to change it to 40 things on my debt free journey.

Spent another 2hrs last ngt working out, never nice, but with an extra tight squeeze, a few early car boot starts, then I can do Mexico without it actually adding to my debt total, so its a positive.

PS - Never know might win the bingo down here, big money were playing for
line £8, £12, full house £32.00. Don't think I'd get far...... then the exicitng link up - theres 8 other sites join in, money ranges from £250 to £500 for a line, to £600 to £1,500 for the house, depending on sales, so I have my £4 allowance for bingo....xx

GUESS WHO WON £350 LAST NIGHT ON BINGO......

ME

Should of been £700 but someone else called on the same number, so the pot was split, oh my god I couldn't breath, apparently my shout, echo'd the whole clubroom, and I sit right by the stage, furtherest away from the bar... the one entainter who was sat on a stool about 10 yards away, fell off, the one barman dropped his drink he was pouring, he thought he was a fire or something.... no just me making sure I was heard..

Its all been change this week, or a lot of brain busting, got my Open Uni exam on Tues (HELP).

The updates
Apart from the £350

I have booked a 2nd hol for next yr, taking dd to Mexico, using the refund from the chicken pox saga, got a bit to put towards it, but don't intend ot to add to debts. So will be car boots, ebay and anything else and living like a skinflint.....

I'm having a break in October with a friend, we met back in 2004 in Tunisia, he lives down near London, but stayed in touch, and we've been trying to catch up and he's on fixed hols, so its either been school holidays, or I've been away and he's been away and I've had exams, but he rang and said got 2 weeks off, do I fancy seeing if can get a break abroad on the net, but too expensive, I couldn't afford it... so we're coming to Devon for a week, I got us a discount on the caravan, and he's offered to pay the rest, but I said we'd go halves. Its my area, and I know a few people down here, but gd to get the break, timed well, that this batch of OU courses finish just b4 we go, new batch start when I'm back.

Haven't updated my payments yet, loan just gone out, but be credit cards etc next week, so help the budget.

I've also decided to take a long hard look at my eating pattern, and make sure drink more, esp as I suffer from hyperhydrolis, posh word for sweating buckets, and this always leave me with kidney infections, so increase the water reduce the food.. Arranged to have monthly weigh ins at the surgery, and booked an appointment with the nurse for week after for the 1st weigh in and chat... xx

Thank you both, didn't sink in till Fri when I got the money, so funny went to collect from reception and the site manager had disappaered with the safe key, (can only happen to me.......), but luckly as we know the lad who was doing the paperwork from the ents team, (its hos 3rd yr), he collected the money for me and brought it to the caravan.

So to do a thank you, I got 3 bottles of wine, (3 for £10 special offer), put 2 for the ents team, and 1 for the lady who does he photos, I remember her sat by me when they were checking the ticket, as I'd gone as white as a ghost, but apparently she was telling me to breath, as I'd gone white, the ents lad said it took her about 10 mins to make sure I was ok, so put the 3rd bottle for her, the lad who brought me the money and his gf,shes the ents mgr, I've known her for 8 yrs and we stay in touch over the winter, so brought them a bottle of Vodka to say thank you. I figured if I'd of brought them a drink been expensive, I know one of the lads drinks vodka and red bull, a can of red bull alone in theclub is £2.70.... so figured £10 for wine and £10 for the vodka, be very mse, covers 6 people, a lot cheaper than a round of drinks. Bless them they told meoff for getting it, as they didn't expect anything, but they were really pleased, apparently I'm the 1st person to do anything like that for them, from a bingo win, they said the'd had 2 x £1000 winners at Easter. I always treat people as I would like to be treated, and I think in the nicest of ways it paid off, as I the money brought round to me, again thats not the norm, but as its me...

Got back safe, had a straight run, there 3 sets of 50 mph on motorway for bridge repaird but n holds up, inc my loo stop made it hone in 4 1/4hrs, 200 miles, v pleased with that..... thou the car is unpacked (daddy darling), all the hol gifts sorted, just brought back scones and clotted cream, mini jams, got paper plates here, the shop wanted £5.00 for 4 scones, clotted cream and mini jam, so me being mse, making mine done 4 plate for the 2 teachers, cost me £3.25, 2 other sets 2 scones and cream. £2.25, so couple of quid saved.

Slowly got through my post last night, added my loan payment and paid cc thats another £365 to come off the pot, then got to sort dad out as he paid his visa (really mine the apr lot lower), I pay the pet ins and they do the jabs, worming tabs, etc, we share things in a topsy turvey way.

Not happy with Daxon, we had this intro offer,if you spent over £20.00 you had £10 off the order, and a free fleece and raincoat set, whih similiar in their catalogue was £30.. so ordered, mum had knickers bless her, I had a white crochet cardi, with the discount came to £30.00, the rainmac and fleece was fab, didn't get a look in, mum said I like that....

So thought be good and pay b4 we went away, knew the statement would arrive when we were away, paid by cc (thought safer, and paper trail), they've only gone and charged me twice!! Roll on Monday......

All washing done, did a wack down there, all by hand (again very mse), but there have to wait till after Tuesday ngt to be put away, absolutely shattered and my knee is killing, and got my OU exam on Tues (help)

Totters off to update sig.... xxx
