    Not feeling too good, but need to sort this out...

    Phone Hamptons for both accounts to sort payment plan
    Phone Westcot to do the same and try not to be abusive or give too many details they don't need
    Sit and try not to cry about the uselessness of it all
    Phone my CPN and make an appointment
    Maybe make dinner (or tell Pint and let him do it)
    ** Total debt: £6950.82 ± May NSDs 1/10 **
    ** Fat Bum Shrinking: -7/56lbs **
    **SPC 2012 #1498 -£152 and 1499 ***
    I do it all because I'm scared.
  • shopped at ALDI instead of Tesco, loads of stuff for just uner £15.
    Barclaycard 3800

    Nothing to do but hibernate till spring

    Hi all, Glad to see you back katyll, hope you make a swift recovery.

    I have taken a sickie today due to my cold and have just sat on my bum watching Dr Zhivago on DVD. And I also spent £35 on tickets to see Rhod Gilbert in March. So I have been both lazy and naughty today. :o

    But I have:
    1) SCs
    2) Survey
    3) Checked banking and quidco
    4) All meals from stores
    5) Wrapped up in a blanket instead of putting on heating.

    I shall try and be a bit more dynamic tomorrow.

    Afternoon all!
    Another busy week drawing to an end - just one more day to go......

    My little list for today (and it is little!)
    • Breakfast at home
    • Took leftovers to school for lunch
    • Will cobble something together from what's in the house for tea
    • Have just printed out 6 vouchers for various restaurants for BOGOF or 50 % off - I need a treat sometimes!
    • Walk dog for free exercise (2 down one to go)
    • Check banks
    • Check quidco
    • Do any surveys
    • Write shopping list for Mr Ts - have an £8 off £40 voucher (first one ever!)
    • Finish faffing with asssigment, print it and put it in a nice folder to hand in tomorrow
    That's it for today...

    Hello - came back to DD2 in tears about all sorts of work and personal things - hopefully a bit more sorted now though :o It hhas all been building up for a long time, and she really needs a break.

    Anyway, not too late home tonight, thank goodness, after last night. Thank goodness it is Friday tomorrow :T

    Lurleene - who is Rhod Gilbert (as you can tell I am seriously uncool - but I really like Lady Gaga at the moment - like her attitude :T)

    Rachel - good luck with the assignment - remember them well :eek:

    Elfen - (hugs) and hope dinner was ok

    Hughesey - puppy might seem a bargain but it will be around for about 14 years. If you think wow, great, then it really is a bargain :D

    Fay - I can never use all the vouchers either - I only really buy moisturiser and lipsalve. As for sorting out potting shed - you don't wanna see mine :eek:

    Katylittlelady - take care xx

    Katy83 - hold on to that silver lining :j

    Ugh, what a day - off to bed soon :rolleyes:
