Thursday 13th May - What small DFW things have you done today!?

josiebabie

DNMS - I'm glad you've got things under control at home now, I'm sure you're DD will settle soon

OliveOyl - Just being nosy, what is it that Popeye does for a living?

Well today I will try and be productive, I'm at that stage where I'm getting impatient for payday, not because I need the money but because I can't wait to get paying things off! With working things out I think I can make a £175 payment to Evil C1!

I have no database again today so all a bit manic here again! My list for today is:

- OH ran tumble last night on timer, he's getting the idea although he also left the shower main power on all day yesterday and over night :mad:
- Check banking/CC's - not had a chance yet!
- Update spreadsheets
- Snacks/lunch from home
- Going to So'ton tonight to pick up dresser for friend, he will pay fuel and hopefully get me a maccy d's on the way home!
- Lots of work in today, must keep focussed!

Anyway bit manic now
Jx

cheery daff what's ur PhD in? Am so jealous would love to do mine but always something holding me back - frightened about making such a huge committment/not working/having income for such a long time. Always thought once the kids got a bit older and could handle it but things haven't worked out that way in my family - the older they've got the more needy they are of me! And now there's another on the way...

just found 3 jobs I'm going to apply for although one defeats the object as it is much more responsibility - I'm too ambitious and always want more of a challenge but now even though I may want that I also want less responsibility and a simpler life. Ah the internal dialogue on DNMS!

Hey all, happy Thursday! Not long until the weekend is here

I'm not well, have gastroenteritis (or however you spell it) plus my Mum's in hospital having some scans so not cool. But although this is happening, I've managed to try do some DFW things...

• Daily scratchcards
• Check online banking
• NSD!

And something not quite DFW but something I'm quite proud of, I have sorted all my clothes I never wear out of my wardrobe and am going to be dropping them off at the charity shop later. Makes me feel good

Hope you all have fab days!

hello everyone

did a very bad thing yesterday and took a pay day advance loan :eek:

Car had gone into garage, they did the repair and it was a bit more than I though and had just no way to access funds any other way. Feel very bad so today have spent morning clicking for all I am worth, making loads of little PAD's and tightening up the whole budget so it can be paid off next month, I can close the account and forget the whole sorry affair.

On the plus side, lost 6lb over the last week (prob stress LOL) have got back to the gym (the £10 a year one at work), been signed off by doc as blood pressure returned to normal and am getting to ride my boss lady's horse for free too whilst she recovers from the stroke.

thats all for now x

DNM - I was/am no longer on a PhD - I've had various issues with things but the sentence you've said there is so true - I'm now writing up just as an MSc thesis - I finish in Dec.

I've found that the kids need/want me more as they get older - its been horrific deciding to quit/change direction but I think finally I'm a bit happier about it all. I just couldn't juggle it all I'm afraid

I think Cheery's is something to do with transport (?) I did listen honest Cheery!!!

Think it was Cleosmum...

I am getting quite giddy about my ebay sales. This might be the start of a serious addiction! :rotfl:It's weird that something that has been in a drawer for years and years has caused so much commotion and been bidded up to 5 x its starting price! Woohoo.

I love the shoes too.

Josiebabie, Popeye is a railway engineer - hence the lack of work in the UK.
Plenty of work all over the globe though..........
