Single and in Debt Part 3- The problem of surplus and excess women

Hey Y'all
I've had a soaking wet day. Went to spinning this morning in the rain, went to work after, in the rain, then had to go out and about for work - again in the rain.
I borrowed a fan heater from a colleague and twice had to take off my socks & trainers to dry them under my desk (classy!)
Then came home again in the rain, struggled out to Pilates in the rain and then found I had a flat tyre so walked home in the rain......
I had a massive stack of pancakes for my tea to make up for it and it kinda worked
Bowski - hurrah to see you around again. And yay for meet up plans.
Dan - also good to see you back again too. I managed to mess up some of my MB - through my own stupidity...doh! But didn't really lose anything - just didn't make the fortune I was expecting!!!I've got my own flat :j:j
Now I have to pay the bills :eek:
And feed my interiors addiction

I'm just making sure that I annoy you so much that if I even hint at buying something you step in and prevent it:DIf the bedding is cotton or cotton mix, you could dye it, I had some that had faded & dyed it a while back & it's fine now.

I have realised that the only way I am going to get into my own home in the next couple of years is to sell as much as I can, not buy anything unless absolutely necessary or alcoholic;), stop buying things for a house I don't own yet, use every voucher and penny pinching way I can think of, never pay full price for anything and make do with what I already have. This is helped of course by the massive pile of clothes, books, toiletries and shoes I already own.:oPay/save £20k in 2010 £5888.75/£20,000June Mini target 0/5lbs Total 23/40Ebay profit 2010: March £207:) April £95:) May £130:) June £0 Total £432:j0 -
Sorry - I hope I didn't offend you
I think you are doing really well, much better than I could - I don't have your willpower

You didn't offend me at all:D am just on a mission at the moment to declutter and save money. I am probably sounding a bit over the top:o. I am just so focused on saving every single penny because every penny I waste means longer in this house.
February is decluttering month and in March I am going to try to manage on £150 for the month for everything except rent and debt repayments:eek: Pay/save £20k in 2010 £5888.75/£20,000June Mini target 0/5lbs Total 23/40Ebay profit 2010: March £207:) April £95:) May £130:) June £0 Total £432:j0 -

Hello

Oh dear, that's a pain. Does that mean no one here is doing MBing now?
Actually I found out last night that my pleading email was answered and I'm still in with a chance of making good!!! :j
I can do with every extra penny so will be working hard to make sure I don't mess up again and will be looking for more offers once this is finished.
I've heard there are good ones available around Cheltenham time so not long now for those ones.I've got my own flat :j:j
Now I have to pay the bills :eek:
