A Budgeteers Quest to be Debt Free & Mortgage Free By 40

DedicatedDFW

Going to bed at 1am last night means i'm not up as early as i should be today :eek: Still, i've written my list for the things i need to do today. Sadly, 1 of those things involves making an urgent phone call which i can only do from home and i keep getting a message that 'the advisors are busy goodbye' *eep* - i'm off to work in about 5mins and its closed when i get home. Still i've tried and i can only get myself up in the morning and try again - Bah!

Went out with friend last night which was lovely but i feel decidedly ill today - seriously hope its not flu _pale_ Like i say the night had been arranged for ages, met up with friend who proceeded to say that they had been ill the last couple of days but hadn't wanted to cancel :eek: - i swear i'm like a sponge to flu and just catch it so easily - which is just fab considering i've so much f/t work and p/t work to do this next couple of days before i go on my hols - never mind everything i've got to sort out for that yet :eek: I think i'll just need to keep thinking *well* thoughts And the good side effect is i'm off my food - now if i lose a few pounds through illness and don't actually feel hungry because i'm poorly i never mind that :cool:

Right - best dash to work - and yes dressed in something i'm quite happy wearing so all good there.

Hope its a good monday for all xx

Urgh! - Ok lets try and even out the urgh-ness :eek: with a bit of nice things in the day - oh yes i got an idea from another thread so lets pop that into play

Bad Things about Today

1, Just got a rotten e-mail from a e-b*y buyer who will be returning the item for a refund - they've said the item is damaged (they've had it over a week) but rather than go through the hassle of a dispute i've just agreed a refund Their e-mail wasn't very pleasant either

2, Less money in my account than i thought a quick skim over the transactions shows i've spent more than i should have - basically something i already knew and mentioned a few posts back. - Will be implementing my monitoring of monies in and out from tomorrow

3, As noted earlier, i had an important call to make but they just had a message saying they were busy and to phone back - not even put in a queue.

Good Things about Today

1, Having checked my banking and seeing how i've spent my money i will be starting my new monitoring system from tomorrow - feeling all re-focused and re-energised :T

2, I kept up with my running - free exercise

3, I won enough on free bingo to take me to £10 (minimum withdrawal amount) :j

Other good things - got alot of stuff done today that i had wanted to do - hence the lateness of the hour now :eek: bedtime

Hope its been a good start to the week for all

Hiya DDFW

Ah ebay buyers...sometimes it is not worth the bother is it!

I have a Spanish buyer who hasn't received her item (actually English lady living there)......very ill-mannered to say the least. Wants a tracking number and it wasn't sent signed for. GRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!

Ah well breathe deep and hope it all works out eh!!

How are you today?

Hi jwil - i have been away back now and a little anxious over bills :o - ooh hope you had a lovely time when you went away too

Was due to go out this weekend but may either cancel all plans or maybe just 1 of the nights out then i can sit down and draw up my plans so they are all in 1 place

Very tired *yawn* but just getting a survey done and then catching up with some paperwork before bed - there's always something to do isn't there :cool:

Hope all is well with everyone and i'll be back to frequent posts now

jwil

Good to see you again DDFW, hope you had a good break
