Thats another fine mess I got myself into

Oh yeah, so I do! I guess we have to get to 1000 to get to the next one. That won't take so long.
I had 9 watchers on a bag on Ebay and 2 bids - did I get any more, did I hell. Had it finishing at 6pm, way too early. And my 9 watchers were having their tea. A disappointing £5.19. Never going to match Herewego at this rate.
Also I forgot no post tomorrow, are the post offices open on Saturday?
DH tiling as we speak. Before they arrive tomorrow I must
1. Iron their bed clothes
2. Clean kitchen, properly
3. Vacuum downstairs and mop floors - only bits not covered by rugs, as I did them properly at the weekend
4. Paint bathroom windows and door
5. Clean the bathroom again
6. Clean myself!
And then pretend I didn't go to much effort for them coming!LBM Feb 2010 £62,700 Total Debt Jan 11 [STRIKE]£49,403.84[/STRIKE] £47,530.32.

There is no point in negative thought, it takes up time and energy which could be used in a positive, happy way!

You will catch up im sure of that i did get a head start with the shoes sale and the refund of the book but i warn you i am on a mission this weekend
I have relisted everything that hasnt sold so ebay stands at 119 listed at the moment.
good news on the tiles, i would leave the door and window until they have gone will they even notice.
I am just like you have to clean everywhere when visitors come and i still dont know why because afterwards i think why do i do it they should accept me for me and not if i have mopped the floor just before they walk on it :cool:
Maybe if you get SIL very drunk she wont notice and she may confess she runs around cleaning up before you visit :rotfl:MARCH 2016 DEBT £25750/ £25035

Hey RMC,
I found you! Well done on Ricardo. I wish I owed him that much. Still he'll be paid off for certain in April 2011, and a lot sooner if I ever get that better paying job, Which I will!! I might leave £1 on there when the balance get close to clearing it, and then pay 1p everyday for 100 days, just to be a pain in the behind and to cost them loads in admin.
We're money savvy now and we're out for monetry revenge- in a Kill Bill stylee!

Like Lemon Tree, I love the idea of paying him 1p - I want to make it as difficult as poss for him and to cost me as little as possible! I hate him because he has taken advantage of my stupidity and I let him, that makes me even more stupid and therefore I hate him more!!
I am currently paying 30.35% interest because I didn't pay off my 0% in time :mad: I have ranted on this diary about owning Necker Island and watching his brats have a great time with their royal chums because I give them so much money............sorry I am ranting again!

3. Vacuum downstairs and mop floors - only bits not covered by rugs, as I did them properly at the weekend - Nah
4. Paint bathroom windows and door - Going to take advice from HWG, they can wait until they have left! The guests not the windows and doors
5. Clean the bathroom again - Nah
6. Clean myself! - Still stinking!
And then pretend I didn't go to much effort for them coming!
My SIL would never have to clean for someone coming, she cleans everyday and cleans someone elses house and has an ironing job because she gets bored doing nothing!!!! (She doesn't need the money) She is also a whizz at DIY. Thus you will understand my diagnosis of ADHD!
DH has just asked me to lend business £250 until a cheque clears - am worried we are heading down a slippery slope but I suppose I could scratch his eyes out if he doesn't pay back!LBM Feb 2010 £62,700 Total Debt Jan 11 [STRIKE]£49,403.84[/STRIKE] £47,530.32.

Hi Red, remember BORING PEOPLE HAVE TIDY HOMES. That's what I keep telling myself. Well done on the payment to darling Ricardo I bet he's thrilled that soon he will be charging you no interest at all
As everyone has said, don't worry too much about the eating, it's the fact that you've given up the fags that you should be focusing on. Give yourself a big pat on the back.12/04/2019
