Awww, bless you all for such encouraging & supportive posts :iloveyou:

I've just complete the ironing marathon & had a delicious bath followed by the usual goddessing - laying off the gradual tan for a couple of days tho' in case I get mistaken for seventies wallpaper :rotfl:

I've just weighed myself again to double check I wasnt cheating earlier & it really is true. I am now motivated to join your decluttering plans for february - but shall be decluttering weight only as I've kept up with household decluttering so far this year - loving those charity bags that pop in the letterbox

As to debt clearance, yes it is indeed fab & makeup - the rounding up is a good way of encouraging me to pay more than once a month. Just one problem with that this month ... it appears that the extra £100 I thought I had, was actually the money I had saved for the electricity bill & not transferred to the savings account :doh:

What a donut :rotfl: Oh well, cant get it back now so will just have to hope I earn some home job money this week to cover it.

On the plus side of things I have just had notification of a £2.19 quidco payout due any day soon. That'll make all the difference


Must go to bed now
night night

Happy February to all

I've had my first NSD of the month & in the post I received another Waitrose food tasting freebie - moussaka or cottage pie or chicken piri piri - yum

I also received the electricity bill ... £81.24 so I just have to :rotfl:& also be quite pleased that the amounts I've been saving towards both the bills have worked out to be accurate to within £3 :j. I have until the 10th to pay it & receive the discount off my next bill, so should be able to find some cash by then. Lucky I did save some money in my account though as I completely forgot about the washing machine cover that went out today :doh:

I've been quite good with food today but have to confess to decluttering a small snickers bar at lunch time

Not much home job work to do so I did do a spot of hoovering to make up for being so lazy at the weekend.

I'm worried about one of my allotmenteer friends who has to have an op this week but am trying to keep very positive.

I'm also relieved to discover that the beloved relative is entitled to various elements of care & this will all be put in place within a couple of weeks. A particular form needs to be completed & apparently it takes about 3 weeks :eek: to receive it by post. I downloaded & printed it off within 15 minutes, all 45 pages of it - good job I bought some cheap printer paper at Tatco on friday

bye for now

NSD number 2 here & no home job work to do :j

February has always been a very quiet month & I'm now glad that I did that huge load of shopping & paid all my bills & CCs with work job wages.

Actually, I'm very relieved & lucky to have that job at all , have a feeling the debt would be going up otherwise .

Really must tackle the paper mound ...

OOh I have a lovely folder for my paper mound! Well done on the NSD.

Lula-Hula

It's been NSD number 3 here in Lulaville

Poor DD was struck down with the vile winter vomiting virus last night, about every 40 minutes .

She's been settled since about 10 this morning & I'm now just sat here waiting for it to strike me down too _pale_

Obviously a no work job day & was told very firmly that I should not come in tomorrow if I show any hint of a sympton ... they dont want it.

The upside of being up all night is that my paper mound has now been drastically reduced & all important bits ( like CC & bank statements & insurance docs)filed in their respective folders just the electricity bill sat glaring at me now.

Having been housebound, I got all home-job work done by 4.30 which is the time I usually start.

I am completely shattered so wont hang around, going to have a snooze on sofa,

bye for now
