Kavics' bumpy journey to become once again DF!

kavics17

Last day of the week for me, we are off to Eastbourne tomorrow morning and staying there overnight. Thankfully trains and accomodation sorted, we booked everything 8 months ago.

Money wise it's an expensive week, OH's parents needed travel card, entrance tickets are expensive everywhere. We have £250 extra as OH worked last week so that covers it but I would have rather spent it on the loan. Salary is coming in for OH next week so overpayment will be made.

I need to buy wellies and rain coat for autumn so will have a look at ebay soon, the earlier I sort it out the better for me, for work it's crucial as I will need to take lots of trips outside from September. I also need to control what I'm eating, back to as I was before, I have exactly one month to lose the belly.

Back from Eastbourne, had an ok time. I'm not keen on airshows so read my study book for 2 days in a row. Assignment is not due for another 3 weeks but I need to do my best to finish it on time and not to panick last minute.

Eating out was expensive, we spent a good £100 on these 2 days. NOw OH is in the city with parents, so have a chance to sort out a couple of things.
I found wellies on Amazon, so ordered them, happy with them,let's just hope they will fit:).

Babysitting next week, need to double check it before. I will do some ebaying next weekend, just need to put everything together.

Babysitting done, £36 for 2.5 hours, not bad I say:). OH is doing overtime today, so that's £50. I will make an overpayment on loan tmrw,his salary is in already, just need to see how much we can afford to spend this month on loan.

Oh, gosh, this month is just neverending, I feel really fed up. Just feel that I worked already too much:). Losing weight is not going according to plan, still have 8lbs to lose before holiday which is in 3 weeks time:( . Not good enough:(. Counting calories this week and we shall see if there is any loss by next Monday.

School at the weekend, plus have babysitting booked though not sure if I want to do it:(.

Overpayment amount is £1400. Our remaining loan amount is around £1400, though I am not sure as Tesco does not keep its voice and does not send me any statements although requested it a couple of times. They also promised to call us back for about 2 months now on several occassions but it hasn't happened. I feel frustrated and angry and seriously considering writing to them about their poor costumer services. I am hoping to make an extra £700 overpayment at the end of this month although we are going on holiday mid september so I might need to adjust it.

Things to do today:

• paint toe nails
• wrap up present
• call sister in the evening
• buy bread and cheese

Not long but than I don't feel like doing anything either:rotfl:.

I'm fuming about Tesco's costumer service, it's just appalling! They supposed to call me back yesterday about taking my payment and update me about my account and of course it hasn't happened. I called them today and the guy pretended not to hear what I am saying and cut me off after he took my payment. I will be writing a complaint letter over the weekend, enough is enough.

I have no idea how much we own, just my own calculation which is not accurate. AAAAAAAGGGGhhh!

Glorious Saturday evening. Have been watching Xfactor best and worst all afternoon. I'm so tired:).

Went to school today, cooked, baked, did the weekly shopping and hoovered, that's enough for today.

I also ordered a bag (much needed for work), and still need to find hoover bag on the internet. I changed Lottery numbers online and need to find shoelaces and boots. AAaahh, hate when I have to buy so many things:(.

I feel so fed up with everything, got an email from OU saying that they remark my tutor group's tmas because of lots of complaints received. This only bothers me because I reached really good grades and now there is a possibility that the grades will go down. Up no, I don't think, from 85% it's hard going up.

I have a day off today, went to gym, shopping, cooked dinner already and off for a massage in a minute (thank you, Groupon). Than OH has his appointment in hospital so Iwill go with him and it will be evening by the time I back. I have plenty to do tomorrow, just need to organize myself properly.

To do list:

• nus card
• oh first direct
• ebay
• gym tmrw
• cook dinner tmrw
• develop pictures
• check bank account balance and move money
• order bikini

Well, I did everything on my list, even more. My tenant gave notice yesterday so I spent the whole day putting the advertisement on the internet and arranging everything. Still a month to go but better to do it now than later. My brother also arrives very soon, will find out over the weekend. Not sure what to think of it.

I haven't ordered bikini, haven't done any ebaying. But believe me, I was busy: doing this,doing that. I am also 130lbs now, really happy, though a bit more to go till holiday. I am hungry all the time but eating only reduced portions, I need to learn not to eat as much as I used to. It's unbelievable that a couple of weeks ago I was 137lbs but by cutting out snacking I am losing nicely.

I am fuming. My assignment got remarked and I lost 15%. This is only one and 2 more still to go.I feel that the university left it too late to deal with the tutor's incompetence and now we are penalised for it, we have only one assignment left so there is no chance for improvement whatsoever. I am very very angry and disappointed and will make a formal complaint towards the university. I signed up for a level 3 course on the basis that I can easily do a level 2 one but now my confidence is shattered.

Money wise it's an expensive month, I am fed up for not being able to make an overpayment to Tesco because they can't send me confirmation of previous payments. OH is annoying me with his moaning, he is now telling himself that NHS conspiracy happened and actually he did not have the operation he was supposed to have but something else. I just can't and don't want to take all of these stupid things.

Work is messing up as well,they expect me to stay longer on couple of occassions but I don't want to:(((.

Good news though, brother is sorted and we found a new tenant .Phewww..

OU is spiralling out of control now, students made formal complaints and we don't know when we hear back anything. All I want now from OU is to re-mark the first 3 assignments, give us an appropriate deadline for tma 7and postpone the exam by a month. Than I would say that the mark is fairer but still won't be good.

Money wise, very very down. We have lots of expenses this month. I needed a proper rain coat and winter coat for work, wellies (needed to be good quality and comfortable as I am out in them most of the time and my feet are hurting me if they don't give me enough support), new rucksack for both me and OH as our old ones are falling apart. Thankfully for TKMaxx, I got rain coat and winter coat for £50, wellies were another £50, the 2 rucksacs again £50. OH needs trousers, and I need cardi and underwear which I need to order this week. Also student card renewal was due, as well as our electricity and gas bill increased. How will I find all this money? And still no news about Tesco, feeling very fed up and down. Oh, and I had to exchange £200 worth euros for our holiday on Sunday. AAAAAAAGGGhhh

Ok, other than that, I have horrible headache, it's been on for days. i need to make an appointment with optician as one of my eyes seems brighter than the other and my vision is quite blurry without glasses or contact lenses, maybe need stronger one. Will update signiture and do the sums later on.
