Had a not bad day.
Met up with a friend and got cases for my ipad and iphone (32 for both so didnt blow the bank, and got screen protectors for both too)
Not too bad of a day but it wore me out, have had a nap and will probably go to bed early-ish tonight.
Not got a lot of my to-do list done but I will crack on tomorrow and get the kitchen cleaned** Total debt: £6950.82 ± May NSDs 1/10 **** Fat Bum Shrinking: -7/56lbs **

OK, todays to-do list:
Washing - done and now drying
Kitchen - cupboards, sides and cooker done
Floor - need to do
Bathroom - need to do
Box of packing - need to do - printer box I think
Also dumped a load of stuff I don't need/won't use and packed up some cleaning stuff to come home with me - loo rolls and washing powder feature highly. Brought kitchen down to bare mininum of what I need to use, so not all bad** Total debt: £6950.82 ± May NSDs 1/10 **** Fat Bum Shrinking: -7/56lbs **

A nice surprise....
Had some money go in early, so I'm not as skint as I thought. Paid an extra 20 to Colin the Crapital One card and 30 to Velma the Vanquis crad. Means I'm an 1/8th through my 1 debt in 100 days. Hopefully the last of my student money will go in soon so I can pay off 2 smaller debts completely...less than 100 but it does make me feel better, and I can up other payments then

OK, haven't been in for nearly a WEEK but this is my catch-up...
Move: went OK, guy was late but we were still in Kent by 12:30. To make my mum relax I took her into town and started getting the bits I needed. Dad started putting the furniture together for me and we didn't get sorted til 9:30!
Thurs: Went into town to get a few bits - took bra back as left tags on it so couldn't wear it and didn't trust them. Came home and sorted my PC out, she is now running Win 7 and both HDD are in there, as is the new RAM, so I am chuffed to bits!
Fri: Went to C'bury with mum...got some bras, a Wii with some fitness games so I don't need to join the gym.....mucho cheaper! Went on ebay and got a couple of jackets as I have NONE, went to Lush to get some supplies and I'm now sorted until the end of June..I think!
Today: Went for a walk, then back into town- well industrial estate - to get me a TV and blu ray player. Also bought 7 blu rays so I have something to compare it to.
Weds next week the Sky multiroom is getting sorted.
Had a VERY spendy week so next week I will try my darndest not to spend a penny!
Targets for next week:
No buying/eating crap
Stick to the gluten/lactose free foods
Use fitness game at least once per day
Walk every day** Total debt: £6950.82 ± May NSDs 1/10 **** Fat Bum Shrinking: -7/56lbs **

Been here a week on Wednesday...hopefully I can re-do an SOA soon and up some debt payments! I know I don't need to, but I may focus on the cards first then the steady flow of the payments behind it.
NSD no 5 today....
Monthly outgoings so far:
Mobile - 45 a month - I go out with my mum, both of us have some form of disability so it is vital we have a contact point - mum won't always take her phone
Sky - 10.25 a month - paying for multiroom
Debt payments - 49 a month, 2 debts end soon (beginning of next month hopefully) so some of the payments will rise anyway. I'll split theirs between the others so it's fair
Cards - 50 a month minimums - used these when I was in the !!!! and will be paying extras to them every month
Groceries - due to my ED I do have to buy somethings myself
Ciggies - 150 a month, I know its a lot but its VERY VERY hard for me to give up right now, need to get back onto the baccy so it'll drop to 50
These are what I know so far, rent is waiting on a few things to be sorted and I need to add in the extra for internet for that to be worked out.
3.23km walked today** Total debt: £6950.82 ± May NSDs 1/10 **** Fat Bum Shrinking: -7/56lbs **

Full NSD again, so that's 6 and nearly at the halfway point before the middle of the month, reckon I can do this!
Sky man is coming tomorrow to fit my Sky, need to remind dad to contact BT about changing the internet over. Got the nurse on Thursday to do a new patient check....so all the joys!
Surveys - up to just over 18 on onepoll, just asked for an Amazon voucher from IPSOS and close to payouts on a couple of others too** Total debt: £6950.82 ± May NSDs 1/10 **** Fat Bum Shrinking: -7/56lbs **
