Fresian's Free Of Debt (Woo!) Now, to stay that way...!

Morning all

I've been up since six o'clock this morning :eek: so I think I'll have a wee nap on the train over to Glasgow. I've checked my bag 100 times to make sure I have the money, Pizza Express vouchers (lunch courtesy of Tesco), tickets and my wishlist

Ebay is going well:

17 items selling
10 have bids
13 have watchers
Total selling price at the moment is £35.41 so I'm hoping to hit £40 or even £50 by the time I get home. I have also said that if anyone who follows my blog wins an auction I'll pop something extra in with the item - every little helps

Right, time to get dressed then:

1. Make chilli for dinner tonight/tomorrow
2. Make sandwiches for the train so we don't have to buy food at the SECC
3. Check my bag for the 100th time

Happy Sundays to all :j

Evening folks

I had a fantastic time at the SECC today. I took £200 cash with me and came home with £11.50 I did buy a lot of awesome crafting things (Details on my blog for those of a crafty disposition) but that spend also included our train tickets (I bought the tickets for myself and my friend) and the excess on our dinner. It turns out that the mahoosive glasses of wine in pizza express aren't cheap All in all, I probably spent about £150 on crafting things, which is a lot, but I'm very happy with it all!

Bed now....it's been a long day and I'm shattered. Night all

Morning peeps!

I had a horrible night's sleep and have been up and down since about 5am I think it will be an early night for me tonight....

Money

PAD/Spends - £107
Entertainment - £25.13
Groceries - £67.26
Car insurance pot - £106
ISA - £914.51
VSP - £245.17

So, not looking too shabby. I have 16 days to go until payday and nothing hugely exciting planned (although I am off to the bingo tomorrow )

My Ebay sales did quite well while I was away - nearly £50 and only two items unsold. I need to send Mr Fresian to the post office today to post the ones which have been paid for - why do people bid and then not pay?!

I had been planning to take the money for yesterdays craft-fest from my VSP, but I'm getting a bonus this month from work and also have about 20 hours of overtime due to me, so I'm leaving my main current account overdrawn and letting my wages clear that. This month's wages should also cover the car insurance, but I'm PADding towards it just to be sure. Any excess will go into savings.

Better run and get ready for work now. Have a good day all

Thank you ma'am

Bingo is quite a MSE night out for us (myself and my best friend go) as we normally wait until we get money off vouchers in the post and if we go on Tuesday there's free curry :rotfl:

Do they serve curry at bingo? Not at all what I would have expected. How do you keep up with all the numbers? Seems hard to me as I think I would get caught up in the excitement of all the numbers and shout bingo when I don't have it.

There tends to be an interval, or so I'm told!

Can you imagine it? Number 80...jalfrezi! :rotfl:

We don't use paper at our bingo, it's done on a screen. Some of the oldies use paper strips with numbers on, but I'm easily confused and don't

That means you can have a fork in one hand and mash the screen with the other :rotfl:

Morning all

Quick post from me as I have to get myself to work - packaging up some Ebay stuff first.

Yesterday was exhausting. I hate sleeping badly, it just sets me up all wrong for the day. By the time I got home I was fit to drop, especially as a meeting at work had run over and I was 45 minutes late leaving the office (BAH!)

I did find the time to make some cards though - one for a friend who has asked me to do a second religious-themed card for her and the other was a birthday card for the same friend although she doesn't know I'm making her one I'm really pleased with both of them.

Yesterday was a NSD, today won't be due to bingo but I'm ok with that

Have a good day all.
