Starting my journey

Hooray our items have just finished on ebay and we've made enough money to pay for DDs birthday party so not quite as much as we were hoping for but the little lady will have a fabulous party! Yes I know I should probably put the money towards repayments and do a MSE party but I already feel guilty enough with regards to the children. She'll only be little once so shes having an all singing and dancing party:T

Loads more clutter going on Ebay this week so hopefully lots more pennies to be made.

Why is it so hard to get out of bed on a morning? I've realised that its not disorganisation that makes me late but being lazy on a morning by not geting out of the pit! I just can't get out of bed on dark mornings:mad:

DH has now gone off to Scotland until the end of the week so I am home alone with the kids. At least we can eat cheaply every night.

When I was watching DD walk into school this morning I had a little chuckle to myself, she was walking along the footpath and decided to pull her tights up as she was walking - very Ladylike:rotfl:

Back to work the boss is wanting his tax return doing - why do men always leave everything until the last minute?

Afternoon choogirl,

Woohoo to selling lots on ebay and being able to pay for DD's party thats fab! Well done on the 10p stickers too, thats a right bargain. Where they from btw?

Ooohh the steak sounds good, which cut was it? x

Hi Mummytogirls

The stickers were from The Range and the cut of steak was sirloin.

Hope you enjoyed your weekend xx

I feel so pleased with myself:D

I have just been to Mr S to buy a lightbulb and whilst I was in there I wandered around the kitchen department. I need some new salt and pepper grinders so I picked up a pair off the shelf and put them in my basket! Whilst I was walking round the store I mentally talked myself out of buying them and handed them to the cashier as I was paying for my lightbulb thus saving myself £14.
I am now going to look on ebay or Amazon and see if I can purchase them cheaper. I do need to buy some new ones soon but it will be when I have researched the cheapest option and not because I only went to the shop to buy something different.

Debt busting is firmly implanted in my brain, I will not lose focus and fall off the wagon

Time to go and wash up pack ups, sort out some more washing, unpack the dishwasher, get changed, do fly lady tasks and make some dinner for my hungry children xx:)

Hello

I've had a good study day but its getting really intense - I am so looking forward to finishing the exams and not having to think about studying anymore. When I've finished I will be able to read a book or watch tv without feeling guilty. I can also sort the house out and maybe get a little bit of time for myself :shocked:

The plan of action for tonight is meal planning, do a shopping list, make pack ups and watch the rather lovely Michel Roux Jnr, ok he's abit old for me but he's got such a lovely, warm personality and he's not too bad to look at either:rotfl:

DH is still away tonight so I can have the whole bed to myself.

Better go theres the usual tasks to do - wash pack ups, feed the cat and kids, unpack dishwasher, Flylady tasks etc. It never ends

At least dinner is made - spag bol I just need to reheat sauce, cook pasta and add some brocoli as we all need our 5 a day xx

abba1772

mmmm you've put me in the mood for spag bol but unfortunately i don't have any mince......wonder what else i can make lol

when are you're exams?????

Hi Abba1772

My final exams are in July but won't get the results until September so it will be agonising waiting for them over the summer. Lots of work to do before then xx

Michel Roux jnr didn't disappoint last night.

Put some rather high heeled shoes on for work today - I've just remembered why I stopped wearing them to work. Carrying a tray of hot drinks whilst wearing stiletto heels going downstairs is not a good idea. It wouldn't be a pretty sight ending up wearing the drinks at the bottom of the stairs, right back to sensible shoes next week

Pay day next week, which means more payments to the debt cards. I am aiming to smash through the £10k mark next week :j
