Polesalot's Climb to Debt Freedom

vasseur

DD has a friend round today and I still haven't done a proper food shop. Think it will just be quesdillas for lunch and jackets for tea

I've put a loaf in the BM this morning and the house is smelling lovely. It's making me feel very hungry though . Just made a milky coffee to stave off the hunger - might have a hot cross bun with it too

I have just been stung by a wasp on my right b00b v painful

On the plus side I have already done 3 lots of exercise this week (run Monday, pilates and pole yesterday) so no need to feel guilty for not doing a run today.

PAD of 93p to Barclaycard.

£8.80 on OnePoll

I'm 200 points short of a £10 M & S voucher from mysurvey.co.uk

Think that's it for now.....

£10 lottery win last night :T

Another £1.38 PAD to B/card.

Seriously need to look into pruning my finances. My AA membership is due next month. I think i will go for the RAC thing £28 roadside assistance with £23 cashback through Quidco.

Also need to ring up Virgin and sort out my phone contract. it is shockingly high.

Had my gas bill in yesterday and it had been estimated and my account was £38 in credit . I checked the meter and they had overestimated the units so i rang up with the correct reading .

My wasp sting still hurts but not as bad as yesterday and itches now more than anything.

I am hoping to go for a run this lunchtime but it is looking very grey outside Another pole class tonight so that will be my exercise for the week.

Just got the RAC roadside cover. Haven't checked whether it has tracked yet as I think it's too soon but should be OK.

£4 on Valued Opinions

£9.95 on OnePoll - they are being very tight :cool:

£1.08 PAD to Barclaycard (paid from Quidco earnings)

I have upped my monthly minimum repayment to Barclaycard from £50 to £75. It's about all I can afford really but added to my daily PADs should bring the monthly repayment to at least £100

Pilates class today and pole class tonight. I have hurt my right arm and my neck hurts on the left hand sid, probably laid funny. Getting old!

I have exercised every day this week and am really feeling it now Going to have a day off today. Had a lovely bath after my pole class last night with ginger bubble bath and my homemade sugar scrub. Did the OCM too.

£11.45 on OnePoll

£8.36 PAD to Barclaycard. It's lovely seeing the balance go down.

Off to a farmers market tomorrow in a nearby village. My friend is selling her absolutely divine cupcakes so don't want to miss out. there's loads of crafts and homemade food etc so should be lovely.

vasseur

So much for trying to be :money:.....

Went to the farmers market and I spent £10 on cupcakes :eek: They are worth it though. I also bought a HM chicken pie (from chickens that have been handreared from a day old - it better be nice it was £3.50!!)

50p on a book.

DD just bought tat......

Went to a farm yesterday where we have tickets that are running out tomorrow. Me and DD got in for free but WLM had to pay. IT was very nice, lovely and warm. We had to do something - I feel so guilty for having to work through the holidays that I try to make the weekends fun for DD.

It's payday on Wednesday but I still haven't recovered from June where I had the car MOT'd, taxed and serviced. I need to cancel my next 6 pole sessions. That will save me £60. We have plenty of food in the freezer so that should save some money just buying the fresh stuff.

I do need to buy DD a load of stuff for school. She goes up to the Juniors in september and they are quite specific about the things that are needed. Plus we really have got our monies worth out of the uniform she's got at the moment. I need to be quite clever about it. That will be saturday taken care of. In a sad way I'm quite loking forward to it but I don't think DD will be too happy being dragged round all the shops just so i can get the best bargains.

I've got loads of stuff to list on eBay but I've had a problem with my Paypal account so I need to reinstate the agreement with eBay. I really must do it though because I really need the money.

Meal Plan

Monday - Spag bol
Tuesday - Salmon pasta
Wednesday - at WLM's for KFC :T

Thursday - at Mum and Dads
Friday - Balinese chicken (from freezer), DD will have eaten already
Saturday - HM chicken pie farmers market
Sunday - Carvery (hopefully WLM will pay )

Went for a run today, taking advantage of the dry weather, and also in a vain effort to burn off the cupcakes . It was really muggy. Think it is going to thunderstorm tonight.

Think that's it for now......
