Polesalot's Climb to Debt Freedom

vasseur

First run of the week sorted

£1.46 PAD to barclaycard

No NSD today as I have got to get dd some new school tights. We tried to get some before halfterm and couldn't but thought there was no hurry then suddenly remembered yesterday evening

Salmon pasta and pancakes tonight :j

Busy busy busy at work which is all good but means I can't hop on here so much.

I've been for a run both yesterday and today so feel good about that. That will be it for the week as I've got a meeting tomorrow lunchtime.

Pole class last night was great. I really am making much more of an effort and it's paying off. I'm seriously thinking about getting a semi-removable pole for my living room so I can practise at home....

£3.25 PAD yesterday and £5 today so that balance is coming down nicely.

Have heard nothing from the estate agent. No matter. I was looking round my house last night and was thinking how lovely and homely it was. I'm really quite happy here. There is no rush to move.

My lightbulbs have all arrived so we now have a fully lit up kitchen and living room should we want it

Signed up to netfl!x via TCB and am hoping it's tracked. I had a claim declined from Qu!dco from Past Times from before xmas which I'm quite annoyed about but as they are in administration (I believe??) or something it's to be expected.

Thai green curry for tea tonight

Payday Friday...not Thursday as I thought (duh!), what's another day

My pole teacher is starting power-hooping classes. You know those weighted hula-hoops that you spin round your waist?

I have an ordinary hula hoop (it's stacked up with all the other clutter) but I can't use it It just falls down on me and I used to be so brilliant at it as a kid.

I can't do it with an ordinary one either. The power hoop is 4lb and thick and has ridges inside so gives a bit of grip. Once you get the knack you can go for quite a while. My record is 15 minutes. It does get painful though.

I'm sure they'll get back to you yet. Anything to do with houses always takes ages.

7 weeks maintenance paid into my account today :j. Not as good as it sounds because I have overspent by almost the exact same amount this month but it at least means that when I get paid tomorrow I get the benefit of the full salary amount (until it all goes back out again......:rotfl:)

I have made a PAD to the CC of £10 to celebrate

Sold a DVD on ebay too. I thought I'd never shift it, it's been relisted about half a dozen times

The sun is shining in more ways than one today

Blast...just remembered I have a lunchtime meeting :mad: I was looking forward to sorting out my money and dishing it all into various pots

vasseur

Managed it anyway All accounts have been fed (value tomorrow of course) and while no means full they certainly aren't starving any more

My car is growling rather badly now (I can even hear it over my music ) so I will be taking it to Kw!k F!t on Sunday and get them to have a look at the exhaust.

Off to Ada's with dd tonight to buy party food and parcel paper.

Party food shopping came to £36.60 :eek: which is shocking considering I am only allowing £35 p/w grocery budget this month. On closer inspection of the shopping bags it would appear that 2 bras and 2 pairs of knickers had found their way into the trolley :whistle: £19.60 transferred over from grocery account to cover the food leaving a measley £15.40 for the proper food shopping tonight. I *think* I can do this - we only need 'bits' after all my batch cooking last week.

Went to the post office this lunchtime and posted off my 2 ebay sales. DD needed some new handwriting pens and I thought I would stock up on 2nd class stamps as I have a feeling the prices are going to shoot up considerably soon so bought 2 dozen - £14.77.

I've taken out my money to pay the cake lady for dd's party tomorrow (£85) plus and extra £15 for 'incidentals'. I'm hoping some of this will make it into the Hedgehog later.

£1.31 PAD to Barclaycard

£10.65 on OnePoll :cool:

Need to hoover upstairs tonight (did downstairs and washed floors last night), dust and polish and another whizz round the bathroom ahead of dd's friends coming round tomorrow.

So what kind of party do you go that needs 2 bras and 2 pairs of knickers? :eek::eek::eek:
