Missy, in theory that £400 is £2400 as we pay £2k for our debts every month!
Went to see Take That last night, it was good, great show. Though not sure I want to repeat the experience, found it very weird standing in the middle of the pitch with women screaming around me. Not teenagers. Women:). I'm tired today, lack of sleep I guess.
OH is going for F1 tmrw, leaving at 6a.m, so will go to sleep early today. Money wise still not all salary in, it will be tight if my boss doesn't pay my overtime by next Monday. I'll be on my own this weekend and ment to see friends on Fri night but will cancel it as I really, really want to have a long bath and quiet evening, haven't been in the flat on my own for months.
I will also list things on ebay,amazon and gumtree, hopefully raising some money.0 -
hey kavics, sounds like you are in for a lovely relaxing time, I too am going to have a nice chilled out evening tomorrow of bath and reading, then I will be ebaying with avengance on saturday and sunday.0

Oh Friday!!! I have no plans for the weekend whatsoever. Apart from gym and ebay. And cooking and cleaning. And shredding (papers) and sorting out things. Aaaah, but at least I will be on my own and get things done!0

I can't believe the weekend is nearly over. I have cooked for the whole week ahead, cleaned the house and watched a movie. Nothing else has been done.
Just logged into my foreign bank account and bank has taken out £300 more for mortgage payment than usual. I knew this was happening but hoped that it would be £200 rather than 3, I don't really know how we can pay this sort of money long term. It's just way too much. We have 2 months left on loan, now it's more like 3 and I will need to send money to top up mortgage payment:(. Really, really not good news, I'm devastated. Now there are 2 options really: one is that I sell the garage which came with flat and put that towards mortgage, or take out a loan here again and pay back mortgage there-that would be around £15k:(. Not sure what to do:(.
OH is due to come back from F1, I missed him, will be nice to see him.0 -
Wednesday already. It's going to be a long week for me, proxy parenting this weekend.
Oh is having an operation next week, not sure if I can have the day off, though he just received the letter from hospital, not much notice. I 'm afraid logging into my bank account, really don't want to see what is happening.
Went to gym yesterday, and twice over the weekend, I'm due going on Thurs and Fri this week again. Really need to shape up before September holiday!
I bought a dress on ebay, its lovely and only cost me £4.99. Also ordered things from debenhams, I need to pick them up from store, should be pyjamas and trousers, they were 75% off so good bargain.0 -
Does everyone else hate it when their bosses are around???
Just a vent really, stress is not my friend.0 -
Got hit by a car yesterday evening while cycling, hurt my shoulder and right arm, it's all bruised and I think I pulled a muscle or two:(. Really painful and didn't go to the gym but will go for a run this morning .I have 5 hours off during the day so planning to go for a run, pop into shops to find out about upgrade and do some food shopping.
Proxy parenting this weekend, parents are back at 5.30 on sunday. So no rest for me but at least I'll be £300 or more richer.0 -
Shoulder is better but still painful. I'm still pretty emotional about what had happened, burst into tears yesterday evening for no reason. I just hope it won't effect me tmrw when I need to get on the bike.
Still proxy parenting this weekend, parents are back by 5.30 this afternoon. As I'm not on bike, it will take me at least an hour to get back home:(. Never mind. Good money,and that's the most important thing. Speaking of money, OH got his salary so will transfer it today to my account and I will call Tesco to make an overpayment.
I also ordered my new ugrade phone, it's an HTC wildfire S and got a good deal for £15 a month. Very happy with that, also ordered cover and screen protection on ebay for £3. Will arrive both on Tuesday.
I went for a run on Friday and will go to the gym on Monday evening. I need to shift those pounds! I think I lost this week but will update tmrw.0 -
Made £1400 overpayment today, will update later on.0

So I got £340 for the weekend proxy parenting, very happy with that. Will go towards loan at one point though I might not call Tesco till they take out regulare overpayment. They are really rubbish and can't give me a settlement figure which annoys me a lot! i can't log into my account either.
My new phone is arriving today, can't wait. But this means I'm stuck at work and can't run errands.
OH is having his operation tmrw, hope it goes well.
Assignment due on Thurs, still haven't started it:(. I so promised myself that this won't happen anymore but here I am, doing it last minute as usual.0
