Pen's phase 2 -the long debt slog and de-clutter

Choc-addict

Hope everyone is feeling much better now. I love cereal for tea!

Have yourself a good day at work x

Hope everyone is better.
I've done lots of decluttering at work- feels much more pleasant there now!!

The boys are feeling better now, thanks, and somebody even managed to clean out his bedroom this afternoon (it took bribery of a new DVD though).

I had a manic day at work and my lovely cleared out desk looks a complete tip again. I just have this tiny bit in the middle where I can balance a keyboard.

Another no spend day and I found the money for the course by juggling a few of the accounts round, so at least thats paid for.

Hoping for a quiet night in now but I also have a massive pile of ironing staring at me. Ummm TV or Ironing?

Can you not multi task Pen and watch tv while sat on the sofa ironing? :rotfl:

Hi Pap, the boys have just decided to go out for an hour so I think I will drag the ironing board in to the living room and watch a bit of Pen TV whilst I iron. Exciting life I lead!

Another manic day and I spent as I took the family out for tea as an end of holiday treat. They did do the lawn and mend the shed today so it was earned! Work was crazy and I finally did the ironing before we went out for tea. We cleared some of the rubbish from the shed too so that can count for de-cluttering.

The weekly shop was delivered today and it wasn't too expensive for the amount of food we got but I did notice how much some of our normal bits have gone up over the last couple of weeks. That coupled with the rising petrol prices are really starting to hit the budget at the moment. Hopefully though DH's small redundancy will come through in the next couple of weeks so he can start looking for work again. I hate sitting in this moneyless limbo at the moment and he is getting down being at home all the time. So the quicker its all sorted, the better.

Not much else to report, I've finally sat down tonight and looking forward to an hour or so of TV (or browsing on here).

Crazy day as usual at Pen Towers. Work was very busy and I will be so glad when the latest project is finished. No spends today which was good but only because I had to work through lunch again.

Then it was running around for a couple of appointments after work before I could get back home. The boys decided to do a bbq for tea and it was nice it was warm enough to sit in the garden for a couple of hours.

Haven't managed any de-cluttering so will have to get back to that tomorrow. Just chillin out now with a nice glass of white and Ashes to Ashes.

Heres to a good weekend for everyone :beer:

Today was much more relaxed than recently. Dropped DS off with family who he wanted to stay with overnight. Then I've spent most of the day out in the garden with a book - bliss!

Tonight some friends came round for an hour or so and now me and DH are just watching TV together. Nice and calm and cosy.:)

No spends today and hopefully the same for tomorrow. But I do need to raid the wardrobes etc tomorrow to find some summer clothes to wear. Lets hope the sunshine can hang around for a bit.

Morning Pen. I did pop into your diary last week, but you were talking about ironing and I got scared and left :rotfl:

Well done on signing up for the OU course - I'm sure it will pay dividends in the future.

Have a nice day (I really must go and iron something now!).

Hi Polly, all I seem to do at the moment is iron, I don't blame you for hiding:D

Was feeling slightly under the weather this morning. I must remember not to drink on an empty stomach again! So after a nice long lie in I didn't really achieve much, apart from the beds and a bit more ironing. Weather has been so nice again I just had to spend the afternoon reading in the garden.

As I managed to stay out of the shops and still had a bit of our holiday money left I treated us to take-away pizza tonight, which appears to have gone down well.

Back to school in the morning for DS
