:wave:Hi choc-addict :wave:
What a day. Found out last night that a lad i know fell off a bridge and died. He was only 20, such a shame. Only seen him last Friday. Sad times
Thought i'd finish work a bit earlier so left just after 11, went straight to see my grandma to have dinner with her. She was given water tables so she took one at 6 this morning. Got there and she had the pans on and layers of clothes. She kept saying she didnt feel too good but when she was over by the sink she said she was going to faint and for me to come and catch her. If i'd been quick enough i should've taken a chair over to her but just didn't think. I broke her fall but had to put her on the floor and at 84 she isn't too good at getting out of the chair never mind off the floor. So tried bring her back round, gave her plenty to drink. Got her on a chair and she kept fainting really thought she was having a stroke. God even crying about this now, dont know how i didnt at the time. Bless her she does far too much and shes just the best grandma ever. Dont know what i'd do if well i dont even want to say it. Called around to see her just before and she's back to her normal self. Bless her
Think she is really scared that she might be put in a home and certainly didnt want to go to hospital.
So didn't make the butchers but will get there tomorrow and visit my little granny.
Oh get avon books to pick up tomorrow too. Really wish there was a bottle of wine or two in this house!!!!Tesco CC 1300/461.93/838.07Mini HP 13000.62/5813.62/71870 -

So haven't posted for a few days. Have gone a bit overboard with spending. Havent included £110 in bills for car tax. I really need to sort out saving pots, ones that i cant get too until its needed.
Egg CC will be closed on the 8th :j after i tried to pay the 50p they added on.
Managed to pay an extra £80 off Halifax CC which is probably why i will be skint. Nevermind, this debt will be busted!!!!Tesco CC 1300/461.93/838.07Mini HP 13000.62/5813.62/71870 -

Cant believe i managed 2 NSD's over the weekend. That is an achievement :j
Paid about £100 extra off CC and egg card is totally closed. Just 2 bigish ones left to get rid of.
I've spend most of the morning reading everyones diarys. They're all great motivation although it stops me getting any work done.
Must apply for some jobs today. Done 1 application for a job that will be less money but much better prospects than the current dead end one!!
Going for a run tonight so hopefully another NSD. Must carry on with surveys. Up to about £3 with the free scratch :rotfl:need more haha
Haven't got many plans for this week but must keep to budget as next week is bills week :eek:Tesco CC 1300/461.93/838.07Mini HP 13000.62/5813.62/71870 -

Just updated bills. Things dont look too bad. Still owe car tax £110 and £30 to friend for London. Hopefully should be left with £600 :Toh lordy is that even possible!!! Will report back later :rotfl:
Really need to get holiday things bought, as we have nothing! Will do it all online for cash back though haha
Not much to report. Spent cash last night on 'bread and milk' ahem, yeah it cost £20. I really did need new tracksuit bottoms for running.
Dont think much will be happening over weekend, will try to keep it as cheap as possible

what a weekend!! Had a total blow out on Sunday, girlie shopping is to blame. Think i spent £209 :eek:on clothes. Oh my god, that is shocking. Have told myself i can't keep it all and whatever i dont like has to go back.!
No exercise, didnt walk dog. Did clean out hamsters. Had take away pizza Sunday :mad: urgh.
Really need to be tougher!!!
Yesterday i done a little weekly shop costing £53. Didnt even get everything on my list. Why do i always forget eggs? hmm
Plans for this week- 3 NSD, today, wednesday and thursday. Should be easy, got plenty food in

- Plenty exercise. Little doggy will be with me all week and he needs plenty of walks.
Hope everyone has a nice sunny week :jTesco CC 1300/461.93/838.07Mini HP 13000.62/5813.62/71870 - 3 NSD, today, wednesday and thursday. Should be easy, got plenty food in

Now that the shopping binge is over my bank is looking better. I knew i wouldn't have a spare £600 :sad: which is disappointing.
Had 2 NSD and a nice long walk last night wth the doggy.
Feel so tired today and must stay away from internet shopping.
Once all the bills are paid, i will pay my car tax then pay the rest off the CC. Really hope i can get them to below 2k.Tesco CC 1300/461.93/838.07Mini HP 13000.62/5813.62/71870 -

What a lovely weekend. Bbq and gardening on Saturday. I had to buy bbq food that wasnt budgeted for so bank isnt looking too good.
This week will hopefully be a cheap one. Got a little shopping list but really its things that could wait unit payday. Do need worming stuff for dog though.
I will make a list for holiday things we need and budget for it all. Think its about 66 days :eek: so excited.
Will better get some work done. Must get some Avon books out too.Tesco CC 1300/461.93/838.07Mini HP 13000.62/5813.62/71870 -

Not much to report today, shame about the weather.
Trying to pay as much of the CC's as possible. I seem to be paying £10 off each one, think i need to concentrate on just one.
Avon is going well, should have holiday spending money after this campaign which is a great help
Promise to write more, honestly
