Fishface's debt diary...

Oops...just checked my bank statement & alas, not keeping a diary of the last few days was a BAD idea! Havent gone O/D & did have £33 left (pay day on 20th!) so transferred from money from savings which I'll pay back when I get the £77 ebay money in and £50 for some camping gear I sold today...both of these mean I've evened myself out but the lesson is DO NOT STRAY FROM DEBT DIARY!! It works! Was quite shocked when I saw transactions & incredible how quickly you forget the odd one...lesson learned so will just move on & try not to make same mistake again...definately NOT getting an MP3 player now (was wobbling again when I sold camping stuff cos of course I deserved it then didnt I eh!!)...Mind you saying all of the above spent £4 on coffee (couldnt get a receipt so cant claim it back!) and nowt else but went to lunch which was paid for - mine by the boss, pudding was free because there was burned patch on it (I complained nicely!) & coffee my friend got!! Not bad eh!! Off to fill in my backdated diary...all of the above gets a "granny bashers" pants rating me thinks (g string =good, granny bashers & corset = the worst!)...Nerd no 109 Long haulers supporters DFW #1!

Good on you girl - mmmm pudding tastes so much better when it's free. Unless of course it was free cos you got it out of Asda's bin..........
Well done on the ebaying, and realising your mistakes. It would have been so easy to think, well, doesn't matter now, and before you know it you're back at square -1.This year I'm getting organised once and for all, and going to buy a house with my wonderful other half. And that' s final!

Hi ff
Good going on the ebay sales. If you live in our house burnt patches on the food are normal, ask my kids.
Keep up the Debt Diary they do help keep us all on the straight and narrow!

yay!!! £200 more than you had before, and less stuff in the house. I have a few big items that I can't stick on ebay - too heavy, but I'm hoping the small ads posted all over the place will do the trick - shop window, spar shop, local paper, my own forehead.......This year I'm getting organised once and for all, and going to buy a house with my wonderful other half.
