Regaining my sparkle! Milly's diary part 2

Yes - girls are both at school, all quiet again here;)
I'm not too bad I guess...feeling massively bloated and uncomfortable, so not moving much!
I have 4 parcels wrapped and ready to go to the PO, will go there when it opens after lunch. BBC website says Bath has heavy snow forecast tomorrow, so want to get them sent today. It's still snowy here, but roads are ok....and looks like light rain at the mo, it might wash some snow away with any luck:D

Yes, that £96 is what I've made so far this month - mind you, a huge £50 of it was Quidco cashback from my new mobile contract (£20pm - better deal than before plus the £50 cashback).

I fiddled about with Ladbrokes bingo/games at the weekend - there was a thread on the gambling board. I deposited £15 altogether and withdrew £23.90, so made £8.90 - not much but better than nothing;)

Will add the latest sales from ebay/Amazon when the money arrives into my bank.

Ooooooooooooooh I've just paid £1000 off my Lloyds loan:beer: Look at the lovely little balance on it now!!!!! Plus, when I logged into internet banking, found that numpty ex has paid in £250 to my account....still not all of it, but we're getting there:rotfl: Happy, happy:D

Well done on the new balance so what's next no pressure.

Excellent result regarding the Numpty :wall:, even though it is not the full amount.

I think you are definately regaining your sparkle

Next....is the Next account;) I still have a few things on their way that i ordered from the sale...work tops mainly. So when they arrive and I know what the final amount is, will hit that - mind you I will overpay the next monthly payment, which is due this week. Then I want to get rid of Lloyds....that'll save £86 a month on my monthly repayments.

Getting there...slowly.

Just been to PO, had to clear the snow off the car. I really don't like driving in this weather...so unless I need to make more PO trips this week, then I'll be staying in til Fri:D

Ooh £20 has validated on Quidco from Ladbrokes when I registered to do the games on Sat. It did say on Quidco that you had to deposit £20 to get the £20 cash back, but I only put in £15...but my money has validatedCoooool!

DD1 out at cheerleading and DD2 is ready to cook dinner for me - she's doing chicken and mushroom risotto...mmmm. She's planning a Come Dine With Me for her and 3 friends and this is her planned main course so need to practise!!!

Tea sounds lovely, sit back & enjoy.

I had never watched an episode of Come Dine With Me until my restictions on being able to get around. Now I am totally hooked, love all the ones that think they are such experts & then usually score the lowest marks.

It was lovely...one more meal that we've discovered we all like! (I knew I liked, it's pleasing both girls at the same time that can prove tricky;))

Now sat on the sofa for an evening of soaps, laptop, cups of tea (courtesy of DD2) and maybe a sneaky chocolate.

Ooooh must go check the ebay listings...a few bids are there:p

Another NSD here, no surprise really tho:rolleyes:
I did spend in the PO today, but only on postage for ebay parcels which is covered by the buyers....so I don't count that as affecting an NSD. I nipped into Tesco afterwards, looked at the magazines....but THAT would have ruined an NSD so I left without buying:beer:

pixiechick99

Nothing much happening here.
Money from Ladbroked arrived in my account so added the £8.90 to savings and then updated my £5 a day total....looking good;)

DD2 meant to have a maths workshop followed by Guides after school tonight, but I persuaded her that staying in the warm and making fairy cakes is MUCH more tempting....so we're all home and no need to drop her/collect her in the cold:p Snow's just started again - tonight it's forecast to be heavy so girls really hoping for another snow day!

I'm frustrated at my lack of motivation to do any uni work. It's on my mind all the time, but just don't know what I should be doing - as my tutors are going to sort new submission dates for me. I emailed them both, but no reply....keep checking. I need some ooomph from somewhere, am very tired all the time but still feel a fraud doing nothing:o

Ok, I have a couple of bits I could stick on ebay while I'm waiting for dd's fairy cakes to bake....must do one thing useful. Oh, I dod hoover this morning....that was useful:T

Hi Milly

How are you today?

I can understand your lack of motivation if you are not feeling well, any news on your operation date?

The snow seems relentless, we have none just rain and slush at the moment.
