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

The snow is melting fast, so should be gone soon!

We took the kids Ten Pin Bowling this afternoon. It was great fun! We've had a very cheap half term, so could afford to go out today. I even found some form and managed a few strikes :j

Just about to tackle the ironing whilst DH makes the dinner, then I have to post off my Passport application, Mortgage application and new savings account that I opened to get £50 cashback from Quidco and M&S vouchers (let's hope it tracks ). That will be used to try and build up some emergency savings.

Hope you've had a good day if you're reading - off for a quick catch up!

Ooooh Macgirl....what savings account did you open thro' Quidco? (Probably A+L which I've done before;))

Sounds like a lovely Sunday....and you've just reminded me I need to dig out the ironing board (might haave to brush the dust off first:rotfl:). SHame I don't have the OH to cook my dinner;) Mind you, DD2 and I have made Jamie O's Minced Beef Wellington and an apple crumble.....so not all bad....I just need a lie down now:p

macgirl

Hi Milly - yep I must admit to a little lie down after my own apple pie and custard!

The savings account is with Scottish Friendly. It was quite a few weeks ago, I'd forgotten I'd applied for it - hope it's still on there

Oooh I might look into that savings account - not that I have any savings but still :rotfl::rotfl:

I had a look but it looks like you have to pay into it each month? Min £25? I wasn't thinking quite that much:rotfl::rotfl:

Hello :hello:

Another Monday survived! Nothing to report moneywise. I committed MSE Crime No:1 today and bought my breakfast AND lunch :eek: so spent £3.20

I decided to save money and miss yoga and haven't been running due to a lack of contact lenses. BUT I have dug out a Pilates DVD (that I have never done ) and my Davina DVD (that DD1 is currently doing :rotfl:), so WILL exercise this evening :A

I've also realised today, that in addition to not having a Will - which I keep putting off due to cost.....All our important documents are all over the house and only I know what insurances etc we have.
So on Thursday I have a rare day off - ALL TO MYSELF :j, so I'm going to gather all that info and find a safe place for it.

Hope you've had a good day if you're reading!

£3.20 for both is pretty good tho, so not too sinful.

Enjoy you lovely thursday.

Just by organising that paperwork you will have achieved a huge amount. I did a similar thing a few years ago - bought a load of those plastic wallets and a large ring binder and gathered all insurances etc together and put them in the file. It certainly made things a lot easier!

In_my_dreams

£3.20 is fairly reasonable for breakfast and lunch so it's not horrendous!

Re the organisation, I am rather pathetic and love filing and have a nice folder with everything in. Know it's completely morbid and OH thinks I'm bad but if anything happened to me he wouldn't know where to find anything!

macgirl

Yes, that's the true morbid reason really.

Yesterday DD1 was moaning that she didn't want to go back to school (she's 5 - get over it Sunshine :cool:). She started spelling out a sentence

"m u m?"

Yeeeeees

"i d o n t w a n t.."

I know you don't want to go to school, but you have to x/y/z or Mummy will end up in prison.

"No Mum, listen...i d o n t w a n t y o u t o d i e" :(:(

So that was the happy little reminder! It was like a stab to my heart, so I need to get my affairs up to date.
