abba1772

well i've paid another £100 towards the capital one card....means i've paid £400 towards it this month :eek:

Made another £4 on facebook selling a pair of jeans I never wear so just waiting for that payment to clear x

went to Iceland today and spent £47 :eek: but in all fairness i never went last week lol as the kids were staying over at my grans last week so was just me in the house lol and spend £2 getting lettuce tomatoes and cucumber from t*sco x

i'm having a productive day it seems choogirl

I've sorted out abbie's bobble drawer....she has mega thick hair and some people still insist on buying her tiny tiny bobbles that wouldn't even go round once so my SIL is having a plastic bag full of them lol

Also shredded old paperwork i discovered when i was pulling down my old virgin tv box as i'm going to sell this as virgin haven't came to collect it and it's been a year lol so i shredded all the old paperwork.

think i will have a look under my bed as i know theres old paperwork there too lol it was rather therapeutic lol even abbie joined in lol

got a ironing to do and general housework but other than nothing really much left to do lol but you know it yourself theres always something to do in a household with kids lol :rotfl:

Sounds like you've had a good day and yes I know its never ending when there are children around. I'm sure my workload tripled after I'd had DD not the expected double.

I have de-cluttering on my to do list this week as well xx

abba1772

well i might not have a job at the end of today, have a formal meeting at 11.30 because I've said i'm not happy with the hours they continue to give me and that they keep changing the rota to suit themselves.

waiting on HR dept to get back to me so i know my rights but if they don't help me out and be more accomodating then i'm handing my notice in....when will it stop if i don't stand up to them

wish me luck ladies x

choogirl

Oh Abba, I'm thinking of you. Good for you standing upto them. Its hard enough for Mums to go out to work for childcare planning etc but when they start messing you around its not on.

Good Luck xx

abba1772

well i've had my meeting....and i still have a job lol but i'm actively job hunting for something more suitable :j

the first thot was the kids................................then the second thot was, how can i tackle my debts the way i have without a job :rotfl: well addicted i think lol

glad I got it off my chest feel much better I really do x

abba1772

Made £1.25 on preloved selling one of my sons old tops :j this just stays in my paypal account cause if i need something i just use that then it saves money coming out my account lol

every penny helps doesn't it

no debt busting for me today had to spend £10 on electricity and £20 on gas lol

got housework to do but seriously got no motivation suppose it helps if I'm not on here

contemplating putting £65 into the Capital One credit card to bring it under £2300 but will see how the money is at the weekend

well onto my target of getting this CC under £2k mark by the end of April, quite sad i get a buzz out of seeing it reduce lol

Morning Abba, good luck on the job hunting front, more stable hours would definitely be a bonus for you, I remember doing shift work with just one child and it was a nightmare, luckily my mum babysat as I couldn't find a childminder that wanted to do those hours!

I don't think it's sad getting a buzz out of debt busting if it is then i'm right there with ya the first week i got my shopping in under £50 i was telling the cashier on the till, the babies (who didn't listen lol) and the old lady behind me haha they must have thought i was crackers!!

I've also assigned my money I make on ebay to purchases elsewhere so if i make only a few quid it's still a few quid off of new clothes/shoes/toys whatever for the kids & myself xx
