£7k in 7 months...I hope!

Off to bed now but just wanted to say what a lovely OH you have. Obviously he wants the same things for you both as a couple so by helping you he is helping you both reach that end goal. So try not to feel too bad about him being the one to give. He has a vested interest in you - you are the lady he plans to spend his life with

He is definately one of a kind Kel, I took him tea and toast in bed this morning (which I do most weekends I hasten to add lol) and he spent over ten minutes telling me how much he loves me and how he has always known I was the right one for him and that he never wants to lose me...awww

Woke up with a bit of a headache but am confident it might be going now. Thought of lots to do over the weekend so decided to take a leaf out of Kel's and Choc Addicts book and do a list :eek:

• Do two lots of washing
• Do the massive pile of Ironing
• Clean en suite bathroom
• Wash Kitchen Floor
• Clean kitchen tiles
• Mix up water for fish
• Do water change on tank
• Test tank water (this takes about an hour!)
• Empty dining table of rubbish
• Make cakes
• Do daily scratchcards and set one up for OH
• List 5 items on ebay
• Find the free Quidco offers and do at least 2
• Sort through stockpiled presents
• Do LOTS & LOTS of revision!
• Paint nails psychadelic green

That is all I can think of for now. Have been trying to pinpoint days out etc when I might need money and have come up with the following:

1. Going for dinner on Tuesday night with an old work colleague. She is hoping to meet us at 6 so we can zip down the Harvester and catch the early bird deal, if not I will stick to something small ish, am hoping it will be around £10 and no more.
2. OH's birthday next Friday, he had mentioned about heading out clubbing but (fortunately) that seems to have changed to maybe a curry somewhere. It looks like we might be getting a lift, if not I will drive. It's with a lot of his work colleagues and his two supervisors are really nice and generous so am hoping they will pay for him. £20 might cover it for me, I think it has got to be £30 max.
3. On the 11th of June we are going to see Jason Manford the comedian, it was supposed to be Thursday but got moved to Friday. Tickets are already paid for so maybe just some parking money and a drink - £10 ish.

Will try and put £10/£15 away for mum's birthday next month and at least £10 towards daughters birthday as well. Will have over £10 to claim soon on Valued Opinions once they all go on so will probably take that in Amazon vouchers or similar.

Did another 60p survey this morning and got 10p on scratchy, it's a start. Also marked a section on my thrift box as 'debts' and put 50p in last night for my early repayment fund, sig updated of course

Well ok, I do a bit but I would never sit down and put something specific on, we just channel surf. I used to watch a lot of series but if I had a late one at work and missed an episode I felt 'lost' and oculdn't seem to catch up, weird I know!

OMG, that was a long list! And I thought I had a lot to do this weekend...

I haven't done too much but they were really needed to be done like gym, weekly shopping, ebaying items, writing my assignment, cooking, baking a cake . Yes, and the day is not over yet:). Anyone stuck at home with OH? My OH has man flu so I have to be extra nice today hence the cake .

I'm watching BGT from 8 so better finish assignment, still about 2000 words to go...Have a lovely weekend

Oh dear! :rotfl:I noticed you said 'so not good at drinking anymore' and not 'I am never drinking again!'. Did you have a wicked night? Hope you recover before work tomorrow!

Must remember to cross off the 'do 2 free cashback offers on Quidco' as just did three . Just eaten a massive plate of sweet and sour turkey although OH stole £6.80 off me to get a paper, parwn crackers and prawn balls to go with what he cooked but as he game me £4.80 yesterday it's only £2 really

Good luck with the to-do-list! x
