    :eek::eek: My friend given me a website yesterday and I can't stop watching the Vampire Diaries :eek::eek:.
    Someone pls tell me to start working!!!

    I'm completely skint today, yest received electricity and gas bill, I needed to pay today £10.41 for electricity (we've direct debit set up but it didn't cover the whole usage). From the other side our gas bill is in plus, we've about £20 excess. Another supplier will take over our electricity and gas from February, so I might get some money back from there.

    Off to the gym today, booked spinning class early. It's an NSD for me today, no need to buy anything.

    (Half) pay day today, received half of it only as I get my salary from different sources. So yesterday I digged my spreadsheet out and realized that this month I should be able to put appr. £500 towards my loan bringing the whole amount down to around £850. It will be tough again in February but planning to do the same meaning that my DFD is going to be in March?:eek: I really hope so although I am not very optimistic at this point.

    I have 5 items listed on ebay, 32 people are watching one and 5 the other one, the rest to be honest I'll be lucky to sell. I have another babysitting this saturday so that should top up my NY savings.

    Had an argument with OH about wedding date again-he's so stubborn, doesn't want to do a family wedding at all. WE're not talking about a huge one, just appr. 40 people mostly (including about 10 kiddos), but still he just wants us to go to the register office-which I'm not happy about, I will be forever engaged:mad:. Oh dear, I assume we'll have another discussion tonight...

    Still waiting for other part of salary, can't update signiture until than. Shame as I really, really want to :).

    Nothing to report today, I paid in £16 of pennys and 5ps to the bank and withdrew £10 as i still don't have a debit card. Need to go to the bank to pick it up... School day is at the weekend, I really need to concentrate again.

    Ok, time to update signiture.

    So this month I put £900 on saving account, and paid off £786.21 from my loan. I needed to chip into the NY savings (down to £194) to do that but I figured out I wanted to be debt free ASAP. So Keza's challenge at the moment: 4070.79/8548.91. NOT BAD!

    Newbies save £10k in 2010 challenge: 1880.21/10.000

    I'll have appr £30 to spend in February on myself:eek:.

    Starting again the Make £10 a day challenge this month, I have 2 babysitting booked already,that should bring some money towards it as well. I have a couple of ebay items going on as well, so we shall see.

    ~call council about refunding council tax
    ~call nursery world about taking too much money from my account and about free books
    ~post ebay item
    ~post MNT
    ~pay in babysitting money
    ~pick up new bank card
    ~take back library books

    A bit better day today, just can't stop thinking about food. OH keeps calling me about my period, but still hasn't arrived. Done a test, it's positive but don't want to tell the world till I pass 6 weeks (except MSE world :rotfl:). We can't agree on names though, he likes old fashioned stupid names for a baby, I like nice names :D.

    I sold two items on ebay, that's £10.50 profit for me. Babysitting tonight, will know the amount by the end :). So far everything is going well, let's hope it stays like that.
