Debt free by 30? 6 months to go!

Aw Loumac - sorry your feeling the mid week blues! I know how you feel though as I have LOTS of uni work to do and like you I am on here, facebook and internet banking! Ah well!

I always find that every month you have a rush just after pay day and then it slows right down and it feels frustrating!

Sorry you've got mid week blues I felt tired all day and had absolutely no motivation. I think its because we've had a lot of time off and our body has gotten too used to the time off! I am hoping to run a Half Marathon in March and start a band....there is a long list but I won't be able to do it all. My 30 before 30 list was done at the age of 27 so I have completed 9 tasks and 3 more tasks on the list I will be able to complete before July, pretty good for 3 years lol! Then I will spend my Birthday making my 40 before 40 list!

OK, well I think I'm back on track... Feel much better today.

Had a fairly normal day at school and as usual have marking to do which will be done when I (eventually) get off the internet! But after school I run gardening club which was actually a really nice hour as I got to switch off from books and just laugh at the kids as they dug in the mud. Didn't plant anything but they didn't seem to mind!

Better get books marked and then am going to write a to-do list for school tomorrow so that I can try and leave at the end of the day with very little school work!

Thanks for all the messages to cheer me up and say hi. All worked in making me smile.

Glad your feeling better hun. We all feel a little off track sometimes so its natural

Well it's only as I just heard the Emmerdale theme tune coming loudly through the wall from my nieghbours I realised that it's already 7 o clock! I've been home half an hour and still haven't taken my coat off, I just seemed to have sat down and mooched on the internet. Oops!

Well I've had a mega productive day at school, working hard during every spare minute to make sure I brought no work home and ... I've still brought work home. I really need to try and find this whole work life balance thing. I've worked my socks off every day this week and it didn't work! Maybe next week I'll have a life in the week and work all weekend.

Not much planned for this weekend, I'm debating finishing my work now so I've got the rest of the weekend free ... decisions decisions. xxx

So I made the choice last night and finished my work! Yay me! :rotfl:It has meant that today has been a good day. Got up and drove to the park and spent a lovely hour and a half catching up with my friend and walking our dogs. Exercise, chat and positive vibes - all for free!

Then did my tutoring and went straight to the bank with my cash and paid that into the bank alongside £40 sat in my purse (I ended up spending £10 on stuff for school in the week so the £50 didn't quite last the week!) and THEN paid the £65 off my credit card. The totals are creeping up. Slowly.

Tonight we have friends coming around which is nice but has meant I've had to spend some money buying food and drink to entertain. Have told them to bring some stuff themselves too so haven't spent as much as I normally would. 6 adults and 2 dogs in a 1 bedroom mainsonette. Should be an interesting night.

Not used to all this free time at a week though. Now I've done the school work and the house work what is Sunday left for?

loumac

Well I'm on a roll . . . was up early and walked the dog. Came home and cleaned all of the mess of last night's visitors and put 2 loads of washing on - all before hubby woke up! Have now been and done the food shopping and it's put away! Woop! :j Oh and the food shop came within budget!!

Looks like we're now heading off to friends to watch the Villa Blues match on sky. We were hoping they would feed us and we could get a free dinner but no good... Ha! Maybe next time...

Happy Sunday all! :beer:

Hey Loumac,
Just managed to find your diary (had been so long since I was on here was looking in completely the wrong place:rotfl:. Know what you mean about feeling tired etc. Hate how you start the week full of great intentions and then by Wed you're so tired to do anything other than eat!!
I was just about to sit and write a 30 things before 30 (October for me) Not sure whether to include things that I really wanted to do in the past and did or not??? Only have 10 months which may be a bit difficult to fit in!!

Just read your diary through, congratulations on what you have done so far :j I am another who starts the week full of enthusiasm and good intentions - and is then flagging by Wednesday
