Just catching up and saw your redundancy news, sorry to hear that. We went through that last year, husband was on redundancy notice but fortunately it didn't happen and nobody got made redundant. It's a worry though. Hope the painting goes well this weekend. I know what you mean about shopping next to B & Q, I have to say that particular store seems particularly chavtastic, I always call is asbo!0

thanks you, fingers crossed!
i am absolutely knackered already!
got up and lounged around for a bit which i shouldnt have done
then did ceiling and attempted to sand down awful bumpy paint that had about a million layers on. gave up and nipped to argos to buy a toy! bought a mouse sander and it is great! was only £18 so i think it was a bargain and saved so much time! have done edges in my room and painted 1.5 walls so far. need to go and do my audit now.
plan for tonight is paint rest of walls and sweep up all the dust made by sander. will try and do edging on the wall i have painted as well.
so did everything on thur, fri and todays list
although need to go into town now as i forgot to buy comfort drops for my contacts yest and need it for holiday! also realised i dont have any books to read on hol. will check out charity shops on way to city

Have a great time, see you in 3 weeks xx A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort Mortgage Balance = £0

sorry this is too late to wish you a fab holiday, snowed under this week but looking forward to catching up on your holiday news0 -
i'm back :wave: hope you all missed me! had a fantastic time! roll on dfd so i can go on holiday again!
back to earth with a bump today as saw my car in daylight for the first time since scarping it on a post in a car park night before holiday. has a massive scrape down the side so bye bye £50 on insurance excessive!
on a more possitive note i counted my coins that i have been saving for months and had £93 :T:D :j not quite enough for all xmas shopping but is a good chunk!
holiday came inb on budget as well which was good! tried to work out how much i can give dad this month but not easy due to it not being the last day before payday (was away for that). so will give him it on 18th dec. hoping it will be at least £300. hard to calculate though as some bills not sorted regularly yet but will see what is left then.
did food shop at chavsda as needed to go to b&q next door and omg was it cheap! spent £40 but got absolutely loads so will not need much now for rest of month!
have come back vvvv motivated to clear debts as want to go on another big holiday! so plans are-- do not buy any lunches, drinks when shopping etc... (unless having lunch with friend etc..) so that i can save as much of my budget as poss
- drink before nights out so that i dont need to buy much expensive alcohol out
- start to shop as chavsda as whilst i despise the shop, it is definately the cheapest
- enter as many comps as i can for cash or other stiff to sell
- mystery shop as much as poss!
