    Phew! Think i've finally caught up on everyones diaries - not been on since Sat so playing catch up.

    Had a lovely couple of days Sunday worked overtime and the popped to visit my Dad as he was home for the weekend. Literally just vegged on his sofa as wanted to chill out properly. Bless him he had put aside £20 in £2 coins - :eek: I told him not to give them all to me but you know Dads! So I spruced his flat and then did his ironing for him, saves him doing it and made me feel better for the £2's. Added another £4 from my own change yesterday shopping so that's £24 added this weekend.

    NSD of Saturday so that was good and got off my NSD's of May total.

    Pen/Moose - OH finished on time and for the life I me I couldn't nod off at dads so ended up watching back to back of wife swap until nearly 2am.....interesting how people live though and also wether or not they can bring themselves to realise and change things that are needed.....quite enjoyed it actually but mainly on the side of seeing peoples reactions to it all.

    So, nothing else my end really. Back at work today, doesn't feel as though I have even left! Not sure on overtime this week, will wait for the email. Part of me is hoping that there won't be any and that way I won't feel like I should do it as the decision is taken away. That said, I have no money to do anything else so working is probably the better option here!

    Hope everyone is well and having a good day :) x

    Morning :) For some reason I have woken feeling fresh, despite waking up every hour or so through the night :question:

    Our systems are down this morning, prime time to update my diary and pop to read others. I'm sure i'm supposed to be reading emails, legislation or something :o

    Nothing to report, pretty quite on choc front until payday (next Fri :j) when hopefully I can make some financial headway. They'll be a whole lot of number crunching from down South ;)

    Have decided the £2's are going to be used for hols in June and then after that I am going to save them for Christmas - seem to be doing well so far with them so hopefully it'll continue and pay for some, if not all, of Christmas this year.

    Getting impatient with moving - just want to be able to get on and be there. Really hope we have some good news this week from EA. Hey ho, guess just got to keep positive and the time will come. Good thing is that because of length of time our solicitors are pretty much sorted and we'll be set to go once everyone else is :)

    Setting myself some mini goals this week, as posted on True's diary i'm not great at being organised and if I work 7 days a week, despite having most evenings, everything still becomes chaos :o Think organisation is key to a lot of things, including clearing debt so now making the most of my days working from home and planning ahead - hopefully it'll mean that my full days off (which don't come by often) won't be spent cleaning, clearing and sorting and become 'me' days where I can do what I please :)

    So little steps today towards debt freeness and organisation so far....
    • updated my diary
    • checked online banking
    • one survey
    • daily scratchcard (love free money!)
    • wash load in machine
    • 3 washloads from yesterday still drying
    Yay, I feel good :j

    Off to look at the small things/pad threads for inspiration :)xx

    Morning honey

    find some time for yourself in your list of things to do or you will wear yourself out, i know what you mean about the o/t tho you feel guilty if you say no but you secretly praying they dont ask lol

    Looks like you are pretty organised to me, or is that because my life is chaotic at the mo :rotfl:

    I'm far from organised, you should see my flat :eek: No emails yet about overtime so we shall see, I feel I should do it if offered as you never know how long it'll last for. Although wouldn't mind having the weekend to myself to relax and enjoy ;)x
