Hi everyone, i am still here just got rubbish internet connection at the mo. Hoping to be able to do a full update at the weekend. Have also come up with a 3rd and cunning plan for my savings when they come through which is to spend it in a sensible way. Will explain more when i can get on - the money would be spent on the house to stop CHAOS but is only an idea for now and need to get OH on board which is hard work.

Hope all of you are well jwil, ebayqueen, brizzle, pinot thank you for your support as always. Ebayqueen where is your next holiday to? Xx

:wave: missed you

:mad: to annoying internet connections, I'm lost without mine.

Hope you manage to get OH on board with your plans.

Hello everyone - it is good to be back

Although of course i hadn't actually gone anywhere!

I need to get my little MSE butt back into gear and start earning the extra pennies for all things that are needed. And of course i need to scale that massive debt that is left down :eek: And earning the extra is really the only way to do it!

To this end i will of course be having a declutter. It has strangely helped having the house turned upside down all week as i have looked at some things that have been in situ for a while and have now been moved and thought 'actually i am not so in love with you anymore' so this should give me a few bits to go at :cool: In addition to that the sheer volume of 'things' 'stuff' is just too much- i do, of course, need to check new postage costs with stuff as well :think:

OH seems to be getting on board with my plan albeit in a sulky and dragging of feet kind of way - which of course means that i will then go ahead with this - will have to get some prices for things first :cool: Didn't help that i was looking at a lovely cheap item - but an item i'd have considered regardless of the cheapness and OH was like well what about that one - which was 3 times the price of the one i was looking at :eek: I understand that we should choose the item we love as we'll have it for such a long time - but i did love the cheaper one. Oh he also gets that it has to be done to a budget :eek:

I have just been looking for a new job and although i will apply for p/t work sadly the 8hours a week 12hrs wk fully flexible just don't cut it :eek: I will continue to search in case there is anything else to apply for

Hope you are all well

Nice to see you again

Glad you've got OH on board, and yay to more decluttering.

Good luck with the job hunt too
