Fresian's Final Push...Mooooving Towards Freedom

mooomin

Morning all!

I have made a PAD of £27 today which brings the total outstanding to under £500 Even better, £17 of this wasn't in my planned payments (counted coins from my coin box and took them to the bank) so I'm another day closer to freedom :j

I had some small spends yesterday, so will come back and post once I know what they are...mainly supermarket stuff. I did buy a printer too, but my mum is paying for it for me as it's my birthday soon. It's all wireless and fancy - and I found it half price and with 10% off. Woo for budgeteering

Spends from yesterday

£3.78 on lunch for me and a friend (Bargain!)
£8.34 in Morrisons (I only went in for an onion )
£12.41 in Tesco

I did get a couple of bargains in the shops - 12 sausages reduced to £1 and a stewpack of vegetables for 50p in Morrisons (Slow cooker here I come!) Tesco yielded milk for 79p (2 litres) and half price whole chickens. We're having roast chicken for dinner

My plans for today are to wrap up all the things I have sold on Ebay and take them to the Post Office. My local Post Office might be closed today though so I will have to Google and see what other ones in Edinburgh are open on Sundays and convince Mr F to take me there :rotfl:

Good work on ebay! I won some skincare bits in a comp recently but it's expensive posh anti-ageing stuff - and at 23 i'm not allowing myself to keep it so i need to get it sold but i'm not sure that kind of thing sells - any ideas? One teenie weenie eye cream's RRP is £35 for 15ml so that would be welcomed in my Christmas fund

Whenever I win things like that, I think of it as Free Money - I won face cream that was worth £79 (!!!!!) recently and got £42 for it including postage. I was thrilled I normally start things at just over half RRP and make sure to have a good clear photo so they can see it's legit.

Good luck - and well done on the win!! How's the cardmaking going?

Evening all!

Well, I have made £101 minus fees/postage this weekend, which I'm really chuffed with I have also sold another DVD box set on Amazon, so that's more pennies in the pot.

I have spent today faffing about on the internet mainly, although I did fit in a small amount of housework. My meal plan for the next few days was somewhat scuppered though when it came time to cook dinner and the sodding chicken wasn't fully defrosted :mad: We're having it for dinner tomorrow night though and tonight's emergency kievs were fine I suppose

I've also made some more cards to send to Shaun so he can see if he thinks they will sell in his shop. Having seen the kind of thing he's selling I think my wee cards are a little lowbrow to be honest, but we'll see how it goes. Plans for the next few days include figuring out how much to charge for the cards....!

Spends today are:

£1.20 on bread
£8.95 on Microsoft Office (a legitimate copy) which is really cheap for me when bought through work. Sadly it's one copy per colleague though or I would be sharing the love on here

Nighty night all, about to snuggle up with Mr Fresian and watch some iPlayer telly.

Nice one, Fresian - especially the Office. What a bargain!

Enjoy your iPlayer! x

Morning all!

I can absolutely recommend that if you haven't seen the episode of Never Mind The Buzzcocks presented by Terry Wogan that you give it a try. It was hilarious

On to money matters:

PAD/Spends - £50
Entertainment - £18.13
Groceries - £19.21
Purse - £14
Outstanding loan - £493.72

This week is going to be a long one - I'm off to Leeds on Wednesday for the night with work, which is always spendy. Thankfully most of it will be covered by work, all of it if I manage to resist the lure of drinks and magazines at the station

Mama and Papa Fresian arrive on Friday night, bringing with them a need for me to clean the flat. In addition though, they are also bringing me mutton and venison for the freezer. Woo!

Finally, we're off to Newcastle on Sunday for the day (!!) for one of Mr Fresian's cousin's christening. I'm hoping I don't have to pay for diesel, because if I do the budget is shot!

Into all of this chaos I have to try and keep the house tidy, the housework ongoing and make cards as well. It's all go in Fresian Towers I have to admit though, I'm glad I have shop-bought Christmas cards that I can use in an emergency. I have cards done for most of the family/friends, but have about another ten to do :eek:

Onwards! I must wrap Ebay items before work....
