As from last night at 7PM i have a 1yr old male rotwieler to look after. My daughter has gone away fro a week and I am minding him, so its lots of walks, which means exercise for me to, thats a good thing.

Meeting my friend for a latte treat at 10pm, she is paying as a Thankyou as i ordered her something off the Internet for her. She will pay me what she owes me, so with that £5 and the £3 I have in my purse, wont be going to the bank

I read yesterday, about a man who was in debt through overspending on unnecessary items (sooo me, but much improved). he got out of it my doing the envelope system, not on line but actual paper envelopes. Each pay time putting actual money in the envelopes.

All I need to buy today is milk.

Done my wii fit everyday this week.



Have a good day all

Glad to see you are back on the wagon! Baby steps all the way.
Good luck with the loft - I did ours last year as we were having it insulated. I had most of my sons childhood/redundant toys and junk up there.
It was bursting at the seams! Must keeps were reduced to 1 box and a few books, many bin bags full of tat, £400 on Ebay, charity shop donations and Free cycle and it was empty. It amazed me what actually sold.Go for it.
Just checked out your signature WELL DONE ON THE WEIGHT!:j:j

Hiya, well done on all that ebay cash :j.

I read a thread on here about what people buy on Ebay, it is truly amazely !

One mans junk is another mans treasure, so they say. I have sold 3 lots of wine glass charms on Ebay, in the last 3 weeks. Also read a post on here that said, one lady never parts with anything unless she has ebayed it first......what a fab idea.

Hi Blue Jeans,

Thought I would pay you a visit!

What is stopping you from climbing back on the wagon, is it time or motivation? I suppose it is easy to slip once the debts are gone ( I look forward to finding out one day!).

It is difficult sometimes to juggle everything and if I don't write things down , ie menu plan and to-do-list, it all goes to pot and DH will claim he didn't know what was for dinner and order in a takeaway!!:mad::mad:

I'm glad to see you are still ebaying, not so long ago you were worried about trying it so that's a positive step and something I need to get back into. I need to do what I did at Xmas and set myself a target of things to ebay (ie 5) every night I'm not working.

Talking of which, I am supposed to be working now:rotfl:

Now deep breath and jump back on the wagon!!!

Hiya 321, Its lack motivation, reading your thread, kicked me into gear a little.

Boredom and procractination are my problems too. Too bored to do anything. You may not understand that one ? your life looks so busy and you are so organized.

I have bags of time, so time not an issue. Is it possible too have too much spare time ? Its not all its cracked up to be. I have to try real hard not spend money to fill in time. My problem also is I lose interest in things very quickly.

Allthough I am determined not to get into debt again ( I have been in debt 3 times in total, cleared it, then somehow gained it back again) :eek:. Not wasting money is proving a bit harder to deal with.

Had a productive day today, got quite a bit done at home. Went out for tea and that was a treat from a friend.

Thankyou for popping in and chatting

Come on Blue Jeans - get back on the wagon. Even if you just pop in everyday and say hello. The influence and "friends" here will help you get motivated again.
I miss you popping into my diary. Remember, baby steps.

Hiya RM, thanks for the support. Well its 8.55am and I am logged in :j

I have a full day ahead of me to fill. Determined not to go out and shop for the sake of it.

I have quite a few sewing jobs to do, so I am going to get the sewing machine out today. Also going to bake today.

Gentleman I do 2 hours housework/shopping has been in hospital for over a week. Last week his family asked me if I could do a 4 hour visit, to clean as much as possible while he was in hospital, so I collected £40 for that.

I went in the loft last week, and I do not need to buy any clothes at all for my holidays, as I have lossed weight, lots in theloft now fit.......so glad I hung on to them.

Right going to look in the cupboards, fridge and freezer and make a menu and shopping list.
