Brr! It's soooooooo cold!
Paid my daily £1 today but didn't manage to take a packed lunch or have a NSD :mad:
Going to try harder next week as I haven't managed to kick off my goals properly - I'm not giving myself a hard time as it was the first week back after the holidays, I'm cold, tired have had to juggle work with icy roads and school closures so am cutting myself some slack!
Hope you're all doing well - get those thermals on!!

I can't believe how much I didn't do!! I really don't think that any of them were particularly difficult (except maybe the Ebaying as I get bored soooo quickly!!).
Right, I'm going to put the same goals in place for this week and aim to complete at least 75% of them.
Onwards and upwards!!0 -
Morning!
Daily £1 just paid.
I am going to concentrate on completing a couple of my goals today - am hoping to complete one or two of them this week
It's snowing here - I am going to pop out though as we didn't go anywhere yesterday and I'm getting a little cabin fever.
Then it's general tidying up and getting ready for the week ahead.
Novagirl, haven't heard from you in a little while - hope everything is OK.
Enjoy your Sunday.0 -
Hi NDD,
I thought I was the only one nort motivated. I am so bored and scared that I will NEVER see the end of this mess.
On the upside, just done £3 PAD as I haven't done any for the last few days. Also 'found' £78 in a HBOS account, so transferred £75 into the OD account.
I have a mountain (slight exaggeration) of things to list on ebay, so I will do some tonight. I have to do something to get out of this mess.
Till tmmw.

LL, it does seem like an uphill struggle sometimes, but if we keep going the MSE way then we'll get there (and end up with a different mindset where money is concerned). Good luck with the Ebaying.
Actually manged to have a NSD today and drink a litre of water......:T0 -
Daily £1 paid! Plus I also paid £3 as I did take a packed lunch to work yesterday but forgot to make the payment to my card.
Up and about early this morning - have already loaded the dishwasher and tidied the lounge. This evening after work I am going to FLY for 15 mins in the dining room as it's getting a bit messy!
Have a good day everyone x
(Novagirl, where are you? Has the little bundle popped along a bit earlier than planned?)

Hi,
I liste another 3 things on ebay today, paid a few backdated PAD, 2 to be precise. Still on a downer, but checking the forum daily.
Love to you all.

Helloooooo.... sorry, just got home from a few days in hospital. My little boy had to be forced to come along a bit early. I had obstetric cholestasis, (all that itching!) so he was better out than in. He's still in special care and will be for a while yet. He's called Harvey and was born on the 10th.
Will get up straight with money when I can remember what day it is. LOL0 -
Hey, I'm sooo pleased you're OK and little Harvey has arrived safely!!! Wishing that Harvey gains his strength and is out of hospital in no time. The 10th is a lucky day - it's my cousin's birthday. Big hugs to you all xxx
LL, sorry to hear you're still on a downer - it's the January blues. Well done on the Ebay - I STILL HAVEN'T LISTED ANYTHING!!! :rolleyes:
The snow is wild today! Took me ages to drive home. Hoping for many inches overnight so I won't have to go to work in the morning - may do some Ebay listing instead!!0 -
Congratulations Novagirl...hope you get Harvey home soon.
Hi everyone else. Hope you are all well. LL...keep your head up...this too shall pass. Just keep doing your thing and working at it and you'll have broken the back off it in no time!
Done my PAD and looking forward to the weekend though it will be very expensive- I have a date and dinner with a fried which meand taxi expenditure both night- not very MSE but it's our birthday dinner and how can you not have any alcoholic lubrication on a blind date???? ;-)Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heavenMatthew 5:30
