Kavics' bumpy journey to become once again DF!

Thanks Different corner,
to be honest we are very similar with OH with a couple of excemption. He is always very careful, meanwhile I'm so clumsy:). One of my friends said to me that she can describe me as: someone who destroys things cause she hasn't learnt how to fix them yet...Well, according to OH it's true though I don't do it on purpose:).

Work is busy today but should be able to sort out things. Loving the sunshine, cycling was great today!

Morning hun, I bet cycling in the sunshine was lovely!!! I'm cycling to my Pilates class tonight which should be good, 2 lots of exercise in one, I love being on my bike, especially through the countryside with all the lovely green fields etc.

Hope you get through your list today, I should really do a todo list but am feeling rather lazy!!!

Ok, a quick to do (must do I say) list for today:

x [STRIKE]magazine subscription[/STRIKE]
x [STRIKE]call MNT about passing exam or not[/STRIKE]
x upload photos on photobox/facebook
x send photos to family
x [STRIKE]email furniture company[/STRIKE]
x do 5 competitions
x [STRIKE]buy oatibix[/STRIKE] out of stock:(
x [STRIKE]call embassy[/STRIKE]
x [STRIKE]email estate agent with details[/STRIKE]
x [STRIKE]book spinning class[/STRIKE]
x [STRIKE]check bank account[/STRIKE]

Uploading pictures now. Magazine subscription came out as £15 for a year, usually I pay that amount for 4 issues, so def. huge savings. I need to do a new budget for the house, we might not need to use the whole £30k meaning that we can have our emergency budget earlier and can tackle the loan earlier.

Thinking about match betting, i really need to download the guide and study it, it might be a good way to earn some extra money. I spent £7 today, had to buy some medicine as I have sore throat and TTOM is coming soon so need to be ready for the pain.

I need to pay £50 at the embassy tmrw, gosh they're just ripping people off:eek:. I counted for this but still, hearing it makes me feel sad.

It's the dreaded Wednesday again, OH is off work:o. I'm praying that he sticks to the shopping list today, only has prawns and milk on it:D.

We bought the theatre tickets last night Martin offered in his email as my OH wanted to go to Brighton for the day (costing us £30) but the weather seems rubbish. So we only paid £19.50 for two, should be fun,haven't been to theatre since Xmas.

I paid £50 at the embassy,now need to post the letters which should cost me another £5ish. Money finally arrived on my bank account which is good as got a qoute for a kitchen yesterday (reasonable) and they want 80%deposit straight away and they can fit it at the beginning of September, earlier than we thought :T.

Right, better start doing some work otherwise I will never finish.

OH has been to the shops and confessed! He bought bacon!!!:eek:
x he should have looked in the freezer first as we still have one pack there :ox

missymoo81

lol, kavics you do make me laugh, atleast that is all he bought, my OH is horrendous for buying stuff! He spends 4x what I would and buys completely unecessary things!! It's so frustrating so he is banned.

kavics17

It is very frustrating- I should take his debit card away. Missy, I passed my course (not the OU one, results are in on Friday though!), I'm so pleased, need to celebrate!!! Shame i have cold and can't drink:(. By the time I feel better, the in-laws-to-be will be here and i wouldn't want to share a bottle of champaigne .

missymoo81

OOOh kavics well done on passing your course!! I'm so very pleased for you. Oh bless you being poorly I wouldnt share my champagne either! Oh dear for in laws!! I'm so glad I live close to the in laws so that they never have to stay!!:D

kavics17

Lucky you!!! They always come to see us over the summer though this is the shortest so far, they tend to stay for 2 weeks or so! We don't speak the same language so it's quite ok, my OH's mum is very bossy but not understanding what she wants/says helps .

Ok, Thursday morning. A trip to the bank is due. Need to move the money out of my current account before it goes all somewhere else:o.

Pls, pls let me be strong and do it by 9.30, I don't want to stress myself of having so much money on my current account (we're paying for house today:eek::eek:). OH insisted I don't cycle today but I can't bear the tube, it takes appr. an hour by public transport to get to work, on my bike it's only 30 min!

Other than the bank, have plenty to do:

• book body pump class
• pay electricity/gas bill
• find electric oven and order it
• find fan
• find and order kitchen door handles
• contact electrician to move entry phone and light switch
• develop pictures for my auntie
• confirm my days off in September

Our laptop is still paying up, I spent more than an hour last night with dell on the phone and they were convinced that they fixed the problem (amazing to see how they can take over your laptop from India). An hour later we are back to square one,they supposed to call us on Friday to check if it works or not-we're considering sending it back to dell, I need it to be fixed before I start OU again.

It is now confirmed that from September I won't work the last Thursday and Friday of the month, meaning less salary (I already put reduced salary into SOA) but more time to do those assignments. I don't know if it's a good thing or not yet but I'm looking forward not getting up at 6 twice a month on weedays:rotfl:.
