Macgirl's "Stop Procrastinating and Get on with it" Diary

Ooh I need coffee - thanks for the top tip F_F!

I like the food selection, but the aisles are too narrow for 3 trollies at a time. I stopped to buy something and this old guy was trying to get past and called me a T**T! :eek:
I just stared at him open-mouthed - outrageous!!! :rotfl:

Well I'm pleased to report a very good day :j

Work has been insanely tough for the last 12 months as I've been doing 3 people's jobs :rolleyes:
Today I had a positive break through, ending a very positive few weeks. I'm hoping that this will have positive (how many more times can I use that word) effect at my next pay review. Fingers crossed.
That would make a massive difference to my debt-busting efforts...

Didn't quite manage a NSD today, all was well until 3pm, then I caved and spent 40p on some Minstrels

Everything seems to be really going well. I even tidied my desk today for the first time in about a year! My colleagues thought I was leaving! :rotfl:

Right, off to wrap the Ebay parcels ready to post tomorrow. Already performed a 27 thing fling boogie and sorted a couple of loads of washing. I am really FLYING - yippee!

(No bingo wins for the last few days though )

No bingo wins for me either!

But well done on your positively positive day full of positively positive things!!

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Thanks!

Parcels wrapped and by the door ready to go.
Got 2 items selling on Ebay currently at £132 with another day to go - have a few more things to list, so need to keep it going.

I know this won't last, but I'm enjoying the ride for as long as it does.
I'm sure things will be very bleak in January

You're doing really well MacGirl, and your diary is really entertaining

hey macgirl, you've been doing so well since I've been away, you've inspired me to be more positive as I've been a bit lacking in it lately, sooooo off I go with my positively positive head on!!! xx

macgirl

HaHa! Glad to be of service

No wins this morning apart from 10p's. Bids on my mobile are over £100 though! :j Fingers crossed that comes through this time, after last weeks fiasco with a scammer :mad:

A busy busy day ahead. It's my "day off". But that means housework and looking after little DD (which I love). Today I need to pick up invitations for my Mum's party, post my Ebay parcels and try and fix my washer :rolleyes:

I did 2 loads last night and both had not rinsed properly. There is still washing powder on the clothes and they feel like there's a film on them. I'm not over-filling it, so it's not that. But I never clean out the filter thingy at the bottom - I wonder if that's it?
Will head over to the OS boards and see if wihte vinegar is needed!

Other than that, a quiet weekend planned. I'm going to mobilise DH to start moving his office out of the attic, ready to switcheroo into the girl's bedroom.
It will be quite a job, as he is a horder-extrodinaire :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Have a good day all x

Well the mobile has netted well over £100 :j so will PAD what's left over once fees and postage is paid.
Got my fingers slightly burnt on something else though. Severely underestimated the cost of postage (quoted £3.99 - ended up being £8.97 :eek:!!!! GUTTED).
I've emailed the buyer to appeal to their better nature and see if they'll meet me half way.....

Went to Morrisons - didn't get abused this time, so that's a relief
Spent more than I intended though, but am still on course to meet my grocery target of £300 this month. I know that's high by some people's standards but it's still less than the £400+ that I used to spend per month So onwards and downwards.

Picked up the invites, which look good. DH managed to get them printed for £16 (much better than his first quote of £160 :eek:) so I'll it add to the spreadsheet.
I Love being so organised!

Hopeful1

My gosh you really are on a roll! It's amazing what we can achieve when we're feeling positive.

I finally got round to posting some bits on ebay yest after reading your thread. Fingers crossed they sell. I hope your ebayer will be generous with the postage blip.

macgirl

Thanks Hopeful
Well one transaction ended up costing ME, but apart from that, a good days effort towards the debt
Hope you're feeling ok? Not long now!
