September09's Debt Free Diary

Yesterdays to do list was a DISASTER

It read something like this...

[STRIKE]Do a very restrained grocery/weekly shop. [/STRIKE] Successful!
Write down actual meals for the meal plan! Did I? No I didn't!! Grr. Seriously got to get my act together and do this at weekend. Might rope Fiance in to help! Give me some motivation.
[STRIKE]Look on laptop for Microsoft Works/Something like it. Still not done this either. Another for the weekend! [/STRIKE]Just looked and have got something like it so thats OK!
[STRIKE]Tiday up house ready for friend coming tomorrow. [/STRIKE] Sorted. Yes. Two out of four not bad. :rotfl:

I think the problem is Im so not used to sticking to a plan! Grocery shop was only £23.88 :T so very pleased with that (OK i didnt need much but still!)

Its very quite on my diary lately Ive been terrible at writing in it. Must be better!!

To do list for Friday evening, Saturday, Sunday!

(So gonna stick to this one :P )

• Meal Planning!
• Have a good tidy up (dont know how it gets so messy) and maybe a bit of a declutter? We'll see. At least one of the two!
• Do some washing (the pile is seriously nearly toppling over)
• Research Virgin Mobile Tariffs/Contracts to see if I can get a better deal.
• Ring SKY try to get a better deal, discount or something! Really feel like this is getting too much.
• Have a look at Weekly Shop Budget and try to improve what I'm spending each time and if I can reduce it.

Ok I think thats enough! :rotfl: Cant manage more than that till I get used to being in a routine.

Weekend 'fun' plans so far;

• Friend round tonight for meal and wine.
• Make the most use of game (that is due back to Blockbuster this weekend) as I can.
• Go for a nice walk and feed the ducks.

Not much but hopefully will think of some more!

Ok. So To Do lists seem not to be my strong point. Not daily ones at least!
So taking a new approach this time and setting up some for a few days in advance, cos quite often I know what I definatly need to get done in a particular week, and if I dont write it down I forget it.
So then I put it on my Daily To Do list and it doesnt get done that day and I feel awful! Did that make any sense at all?!?! Lol

So here goes:-

Monday 07/09 - Nothing today, got college tonight. Its my first evening back, and I go practically straight after work, so apart from having dinner not going to have time to do a lot else!!

Tuesday 08/09 -

• Cat to vet for boosters - have been putting this off for ages and just cant anymore, and he really does need them. Ive weighed up whether to have them done or not and have decided to keep them up, despite how many people don't! I just can't not and would rather be safe than sorry for the small expense once a year.
• Have a look at Weekly Shop Budget and try to improve what I'm spending each time and if I can reduce it.

Wednesday 09/09 - Nothing again tonight - College straight after work so thats my whole day gone.

Thursday 10/09 -

• Ring SKY try to get a better deal, discount or something! Really feel like this is getting too much.
• Do the weekly shop (this has to be very restrained!)

So there goes!

:T Morning all!

So impressed with myself.

Up at 615 this morning.

Convinced myself to do 20 minutes of EXERCISE at 650! Yes you read that correctly. A nutter I know. Got another 20 minutes lined up for this evening. So determined to get fit by the end of this year.

So aching now though! :eek:

Had a 7 points breakfast cos I felt so hungry afterwards. :rotfl:

At work now, busy day ahead of me, cat to the vets tonight, then home to exercise, bath, study, then have dinner and finally look at the weekly shop budget! Phew!

Rest tomorrow at college.

Ok. Update on the debts.

Still in credit at the moment with the current account. Wont be once a couple of bills come out. Like an idiot I forgot my homecare agreement started this month and also the blinds that we so desperatly needed have been ordered and there was the deposit for that. Gonna have to think of ways to get out of this now grr!!!

:mad:

But on the plus side - some other balances have reduced....

CC 1 - [STRIKE]£2000.00[/STRIKE] £1981.35
CC 2 - [STRIKE]£2100.00[/STRIKE] £2083.03

Not a lot but every little helps!
