Hello hello :wave:

Today's listypops:
- free cuppa x 3
- didn't go out at lunch; sat reading = less temptation to spend
- do mini September budget
- update my diary thread :A
- aim for 3rd no spend day in a row (#6 of the month), but might go swimming if I can finish work early enough - no other spends though

Kinda boring tbh. Not much happening, just working lots really, but still thought I'd pop in to 'see' you.

Hi everyone, not been on for a number of weeks as baby 'savy' has arrived! Its been hard work and spending has been out of control, OH has been on paternity and well I have jut been absolutely unsavy in all areas! I do need to sort it out!!! So here I am!

Finances have been awful and i am feeling guilty! everything has just got on top of me and it has made me feel down but I know I need to get a grip and focus! So where do I start???

* plenty to try to sell on ebay, got my account, started making a list and taking photos, just need to get listing.

*apply for child benefit and child tax credit

* open savings account for baby savy so money from cb can go directly into there and rest used for clothes/nappies etc

* face the dreaded credit card!!!

* redo the budget big time!! look at where can cut and where can put extra!

* STOP SPENDING!!!!!

* claim back any ppi/credit card charges/etc

* be positive and organise myself!

Hope everyone is ok!!!

Thanks for starting the thread DNMS - you were up early today as always.

ah the joys of having to leave home at 7.15am for work for 18 months, my body clock has been retrained to be an early bird!

I checked my bank account this morning & discovered that with my roundings in my spending memo (tend to round everything UP to the nearest £5) I had spare so I chucked another £10 to my Barclaycard

Everyone should say something nice to a stranger today!

erm I'm trying to avoid human contact atm, work stress is putting me through a loop and I am in danger of arguing with anyone at the slightest thing... was thinking that saying goes something like "if you can keep your head when all around are loosing theirs..." easier said than done!

have left work early. Had conversation with CEO today becuase I'm not being supported by any senior management and a number of things that are highly important are unravelling, so that felt good to offload it to someone senior and hopefully things will start to improve...

Also he implied I may not be demoted (I'm having to compete with another manager for 1 post & the other person will become the asst manager) as because of the redundancies a scheme will need to come under another service and it makes more sense for it to be me because of the specialism & geography. so all might not be lost at this point :T If this does happen I think its doable as long as I have enough staff, but will be a uge learning curve as the schemes I run are enduring mental health & this is a learning disability scheme. Will be good to have to learn a whole new specialism...

Morning all!
After the kerfuffle of yesterday I'm back on track today - have given myself a bit of a talking to and I have decided not to worry about things until I know what's going on. I have a scan tomorrow so will know more then.


So today I will/have...

• Walk dog for free exercise - park once and round the houses once, one to go
• Tidy kitchen - done
• Do at least 3 hours school work - about 5 hours, very proud of myself
• Phone doctors to see if referral letter is ready - they've sent it to the wrong place - grrr!
• Phone payroll office to sort out underpayment - person I need to speak to wasn't there, try again tmw
• Phone tax office - can't until the above is done
• Put dry washing away -done
• Get chicken out of freezer for tea done
• All food from stores - bought 3 rashers of bacon to go with chicken for tea, 90p
• Revisit budget to see if I can save a bit more - can't see where yet!
• May go swimming using student card before it expires at the end of the month - nope, got stuck into work for a change instead
• Try to have a LSD if not a NSD - LSD
• Update diary done
• Do a mini facial tonight -later
• Checked banks done
• Chceked quidco done
• Do any surveys that come - 2 to try

That's all for now - have a good day!

Had quite a productive day by my standards.
I have also made a list of school work that needs finishing to focus me for the rest of the week.
A bonus Corrie is on tonight for anyone that's interested (not usually on on a Weds) - I'm sad I know!

Congratulations to unsavy!!!!:j:j
