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

:mad::mad::mad:
Noticed on the EGG site that the 0% deal is for "BRAND NEW CUSTOMERS ONLY" Grrrr!!! I called them to see if they could offer me a deal, but no - 16.9% was the best they could offer :rolleyes:

Nevermind, I still have the Virgin option, so will switch it to that today.

DD is currently trying to build a lego tower on my keyboard, so she's definitely back at nursery tomorrow :rolleyes:

At least I can finish my ironing, move the tumble dryer from the middle of the cellar floor and get it ready for action and write my Christmas cards :T

Last week I switched £3800 from my Virgin CC to Nationwide. The balance is now showing as transferred on my N/Wide account, so I was surprised to see it also showing on the Virgin account

Luckily they are both 0% but it made me wonder how often I have paid a little extra interest to both parties while waiting for (in this case Virgin) to "authorise" payment. Why they need to authorise anything when it is being paid to them - is beyond me :rolleyes:

So will have to wait another few days before I can switch the overdraft *sigh*

Well the tumble dryer is in situ and has been working it's magic all afternoon! :T
We've currently got the washer, tumble dryer and dishwasher going - the electric meter is flying round at Benny Hill Speed :eek:

Anyhow, as I've had time and energy on my hands today, I've been mulling over my debtfree date. I'd really like it to be by next August, which leaves 8 months @ £2250 per month. This leaves me short by a long way, but rather than thinking I can't do it, I'm trying to find a way to up my income.
I need to keep Ebaying, but I've sold the items of any real value, so the rest will provide a trickle of cash - if that....

The obvious option is working full time, which would bring in a nice chunk of cash, but I'm reluctant to do that. So I think I need to get creative and make stuff to sell. The question is What???

Blimey, you DO appear to have done a lot today!!! Thinking and pondering as well as actual DOING things!!!

macgirl

Yes, if only I could work less hours for the same pay....
I did get a bit done in the house today which is a relief and has made me calmer.

Unfortunately I missed work today and an important meetin which has been re-scheduled for tomorrow. I have alot of work to prepare for it, but have just had a 2 hour debate with OH while he vents his spleen about his business :rolleyes:
All the time I'm thinking "I've been here all day - not working - I need to get on and do something!!"
Now it's 10pm and I want to go to bed....life doesn't get easier does it?

Found a few things to Ebay so will list them tomorrow evening - night x

hypno06

sleep well x

Hopeful1

Hope you managed to get your prepping done and that the meetings goes/went ok x

macgirl

Thanks Hopeful - how are you? Hanging on in there I see - not long now
Hope you're feeling ok and not getting too fed up x

Yes, the meeting went very well and was all very positive which is a relief!
Tonight though I need to do some work, there's a lot to pack in before Christmas and if I don't put in extra hours now, I'll get behind.

No free scratchcard on Virgin today I wonder if they've stopped doing them....
I just bought and played 30p's worth of tickets from my winnings, which is annoying as I'm only 38p away from a payout
- but still no scratchie....

Anyway £100 went to Goldfish today and I got £7 postage refunded from something that was a day late being delivered - plus £4 on Quidco :T.

I'm waiting for someone to collect an Ebay item which sold for the paltry sum of 99p :rolleyes: Still it frees up space and I guess is better then nothing.

Have a good evening - will try and pop back later when I'm watching "Kirstie's Homemade Christmas"

the virgin scratchcard is still there - just look under "favourites" rather than "scratchcards".
