IJust realised i didn't eat tea yesterday - in fact i didn't eat any meal - i had a piece of cake that was offered to me - it would have been rude not to and snacked on a bit of my favourite chocolate - I was actually just too tired to make and to eat anything else Oops!

Gah! Lost a long post - briefly - now have the 2 most difficult debts left to clear - difficult as one means saving the cash and not dipping into it and the other is my overdraft which i have lived in for years so again not dipping in and being super strict on budgets. As i don't pay anything to my overdraft currently its not coming down any so will be focusing on money to OH and then the overdraft. Oh yes - i mentioned i paid off my last credit card in full so just these 2 to go but as i say the most difficult 2 and still amounts to a few thousand :eek:

Pland for todat involve - another cuppa :coffee:, sorting and listing for the bay of e and some cooking before things need to be thrown away :eek:

So i had better get on with things then - hope everyone has a good day x

So i had a relatively good start to the day - got up - a tad later than planned but as my next lie-in isn't until next week i'll just have to accept that i was late and get on with things

The good part to the day was i dragged myself to the shop for the 1 item i needed for a recipe (cooked something so as not to have to throw the food out and was just 1 item short). I sorted a few bits out for the bay of e - finally got round to trying that dress on as well and am keeping it - although i have a few dresses i;m no longer keeping so its all starting to work out. I've cooked the recipe - and extremely scrummy it was too and then i've chilled out for a bit too long to be honest so better go and sort some more things out. - Haven't even got to 10% of the target of 95 remaining items yet :eek: and i really need to sell stuff to get the money in as i have urgent job to pay for next week, holiday spends to sort and a birthday which will take the best part of £100 for meal / drinks / gift :eek:

Rightio then - back to it! xx

Well done on clearing a card, you are doing so well! :T :T
