I know it's a long ole road but it will be worth it and at least we started years ago and not only just starting x

Busy day I have secured a nice little washing up gig at a friends pub a free lunch and a few pennies all taxed and stamped Mr tax man:) . I am pretending a don't have it and I am saving fort summer hols. One thing I am good at is planning and forward thinking.
Made my own Christmas cake and although very satisfying I can see why people buy them it cost a fortune lol

Ali-OK

Aha, I've found you and caught up on your diary, after your lovely comment on mine and will subscribe if I may.

I do love your 'stuff on shelves is money', that's really motivated me as I struggle with the excuse of time and fiddly-ness (is there such a word? :rotfl:) with eBay and such like. I have got 2 old phones out today and their boxes for envirofone and I will get them sent off and make some pennies.

In a similar boat with helping out ageing parent, it's not easy to juggle everything and looking after yourself is definitely a priority.

A nice little extra with the pub job too. You're doing so well and remain so upbeat. :T

Hi Ali-ok so nice to have you on my diary!


Finished all my food shop for Christmas now except veg!
No matter how organised you are you still have to go out close to the day eh??


Not sending cards I can't ear them they are such a waste of money and end up in recycling!! Bah !! .


Out tonight in my Christmas jumper for a girls night! Cheap night as no charge for meal lift home so just a few drinks!
See you all later BTD!!

Oh well another Christmas over (nearly) and I am glad to say all bought and paid for. Now to get our heads down and save for a holiday. Did our weekly shop today £70 all meal plans done. Dh gets paid next 10th Jan as he had 3 weeks pay but tI put extra in different account to transfer on normal pay date.
Mexican for tea tonight yum.




Goals for next year. I gave up drinking 3 weeks ago (great time of year right?) I will continue this and save around £50 pm, straight towards the hol.


2 years until a loan ends and things get easier until then head down and get it done:)
Happy new year all .
BTD

Hoping to always have something listed on ebay each week also I did well last year

Happy New Year to you.. well done on quitting drinking! I don't drink at all, very rarely if I do, maybe once or twice a year (how boring I know), but don't feel I miss out on it.

Hope 2014 is fab for you - will subscribe! x
