Positive Things:

[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]I could have bought so much in Debenhams, or everywhere actually. We ventured into a few shops, and was going to hit the charity shops but we decided not to. I don't need any new clothes if I intend to lose weight!

HOPEFULLY, I'll convince myself to go to the gym later today.

- 80p - For a lime and soda I had yesterday. I popped out for some drinks with school friends I haven't seen in years to celebrate the life of a friend of ours who died on Wednesday. It was a little odd, to say the least. ;_;

There's some oddness in my bank balance. My spreadsheets say one thing, but online banking says another. -rubs chin- I'm out by £3.39, and can't think what it was for.

Positive Things:

[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]Hopefully, this is me getting back on track with things! I'm at college tomorrow, so I'm going to do my best to make it a no-spend day!

Went collecting some Avon Catalogues back and was a little upset to hear that one of my orders had been 'taken' from a customers door-step. It's a little odd that someone would take it like that...

Not spending money at College was a big fat fail. ;_; We have so many breaks that I ended up spending money for something in every one of them! I blame being ill. I picked up two more Avon orders today though! [/FONT]

Positive Things:


Lots of things went in and out of my account today, so I don't think I'm going to list it all, to be honest. Handed out a couple more Avon catalogues, so it's not looking so bad now. ^^;

Looking forward to the weekend, really. Working with Bethy, then posting a book I sold, and depositing all my Avon money from last time~

Whoops, it's been Friday since my last update! I think I worry a little when I don't update every day but I am telling myself that it's not a big deal, really! I just can't remember what happened between then and now!

Saturday Update:

Positive Things:

I was looking through the challenges and totally decided to hop on the 1 debt 100 days challenge. I'm gonna let myself have the full 100 days though, so it started on the 1st October, and should be done by 8th January.

I chose my santander overdraft, cause it's the one that is just... there. It'll be good to get rid of it. Yesterday's payment was from the £10 I won on the bingo, and today I deposited all my Avon money, and made my payment, so that left £2.14 in that account, so I'm counting that as todays payment!

I also finally cancelled my New Look card, and whilst I was at it closed a savings account I haven't used in over a year.

Positive Things:

Having a cold generally keeps you indoors, which is good for not spending money. =D I have been coerced into going to a pub we used to go to as a group later tonight though, which is fine really as it's two-for-one.

I made a tiny payment today... I know the challenge is 1 debt in 100 days, but I want to keep reminding myself it's there. Lol. So, it was £1.68, to make my balance look pretty. ^^;

I've written myself a to-do list, too. I have one at work, and I just thought it would be good because I keep remembering that there are things I need to do... and then forgetting about them. Intend to keep my little book with me all the time (We'll see how that goes!)

Popped a few bits on Ebay yesterday, and sorted some things for the charity shop. Prepared most of the stuff for the next Avon campaign, just need to bag them up, and then tomorrow I must must must remember to collect the current catalogues I have out. Fingers crossed for some more orders~!

Positive Things:

Whooooops is all I can say about today.

I blame being ill. Being ill makes me lack willpower, which is important in the face of Indian Take Out, generally. =P Well, it was yummy and I saved some for tomorrow, what can I say? I deserved it?

Positive Things:

Sometimes I think being Ill is a good thing? I've had two NSD's now thanks to being at home all day. I'm feeling so much better now though, which is good.

My bank balance looks so good today! I recieved £50 back from a mispaid payment to Lloyd's TSB, and decided to round off my account to £200 and make a payment of £7.79 to my '1 Debt 100 days' debt, which is my overdraft. Shame that £8.67 came OUT of my account today for fees. ;_;

In other news I managed to get some money off one of my Avon customers for their last order, which means I have only one more to collect! Can't believe it's taken this long! The next order should be here on Monday. Whilst I was chatting away to my customer she mentioned she was having issues with her new laptop, and I 'happened' to mention to her that I was an I.T Technician and if her daughter in law couldn't fix it I'd be happy to have a look. =D Will be nice to do a little 'networking'. I guess it's all positive?

Got a text from the family I care for a little Autistic girl of, and we're going to a National Trust property on Saturday, which is both exciting and nice, because it'll be a few more hours on my timesheet! Whoo~

Things have been really looking up, really. I've also been chatting to my ex-girlfriend on AIM, and we had some really positive deep conversations about our relationship, what we learned from it and things like that. Which makes me happy, in general! So, I'm a Happy Ollie despite feeling sick. xD; Life's funny like that, hmn?

Another sick day. ;_;

I really haven't done much today at all. Did the scratches, popped the bunny out into the garden for a run. I've got a friend coming over later with brownies apparently! But I think due to lazy, we'll be ordering in food. =P

Sick people deserve take away?
