Drop Debt Diva – ‘Plus-Sized Debts to Plus-Sized Savings’

Swinstie73

Oops not made very much progress since today. I haven't even got dressed, terrible but I quite like Sundays like this.

So because I didn't get dressed at all, only done one wash, was planning on hanging some out but alas didn't bother, was nice today as well. Managed to get under my staircase gutted out though, moved my wedding mirrors (for table) upstairs to the wardrobe and had to fight with about five spiders, I swear one of them actually jumped at me. Ashamed to say instead of catching them (they out-numbered me), I got them with the hoover, sorry spider lovers!

So staircase done, laptop table cleaned and tidied, even the drawer as well. I'm slowly working my way round the downstairs. Could hardly get into the kitchen though to make dinner, so ended up with tomato pasta instead of my veggies and whatever else I found. Oh well, that will be dinner tomorrow night, after I come back from the boxing club, I am scared. Not sure if I'm meant to take exercise gear or just go for a looksie, probably just a look will do for now.

Ok, going to put some more things away upstairs then make a cuppa and sort some paperwork in front of the tv, I have so much paperwork/receipts it's not even funny. Might even iron clothes and sort lunch for tomorrow, go me. I will get organised, I will get organised.......

Enjoy the boxing!

Morning all,

Well I had a crapparooni sleep last night, don't know if it was the lost hour or not but was awake most of the night so needless to say have had a latte to waken me up. Also a scone as I brought everything for lunch today but left my dairylea on the kitchen counter, duh! So will have my porridge for lunch as no doubt it will be mushroom soup in the canteen yuk.

Still itching to get my payments done, but not due til next week, the 4th I think, must check. The good thing is I only spent £16 at the weekend at the quiz night/drinks afterwards and I didn't even leave the house yesterday so nothing spent at all then. £1.90 today on scone and latte which isn't too bad, but just been told I have no willpower, really starting to get peed off with this. I wish people would stop watching for the heck I'm eating, sure they have better things to be bothered about, it's none of their business, argh!!!!!

I know, as he sits eating crap all day! He just doesn't listen, i.e. about the Roses, but even if he did he'd forget and still make comments, I've given up even getting annoyed, I'm just going to make ecstatic noises the next time I'm munching something tasty!!

As for early payments, I can with my BC CC as the DD will just not come off but the Play one will still take the DD regardless and I don't want to either pay too much, like I did last month or pay less then the DD doesn't come off and get charged interest (my 0% finishes). I will just wait until the DD comes off then I will make my payment the next day.

Well, went to the boxing gym, bit apprehensive actually, it was very busy and full of bascially teens training. There were a few girls, but girls and NOT women! He said to come back Friday, it's a bit quieter, OH is down that night but won't be down til 7pmish so he'll need to make dinner, ha.

Think the personal training sounds the better option, he's going to say to his son tonight so hopefully I'll get a family discount, not looking for it cheap as it is his business but fingers crossed.

Called OH earlier, his mum's been taken to hospital but he doesn't know what really happened, note just said she'd fallen and hit her head. Really hope she's ok, been quite worried about the stairs she needs to go up and down and hope she's not fell down them. He'll let me know later once he hears from his dad.

Well, better go get dinner, I am starving.

Ok, I am very much convinced, just went back onto my cousins website and there are a male and female before and after he got a hold of them pictures of two of his clients, OMG, they both look amazing!!! The woman looked quite big, quite podgy and really un-fit, she now looks like an athlete and the guy looks like a beer swilling git and he looks like a real fitty! I am signing up, would totally pay full price if he got results like that with me.

Just poured a cuppa and was going to have something nice, but nope, I am stepping away from the biccies.

Ok, so I think I might have been abducted by alien beings last night, I've now just gone and signed myself up for the Shine Walk in Glasgow in September, eek!!! Been hearing about the Moonwalk which is in June, apart from not being able to get anyone to do it, think it's a bit ambitious, so September here I come.

It's a good goal and it's just before my fitting so surely should've lost some weight by then.

Well, no new news on the money front, I am going to be down £11 later as I've reserved a flokati rug from Argos for my bedroom. The carpet in front of the wardrobe is very 'flat' and I've had a rug before so thought I'd tart it up a wee bit, cheaper than a new carpet eh!

Anyway better go, getting busier by the minute.

Evening,

House is still a mess, I can see no end in sight. OH is down tomorrow night but I've already warned him to close his eyes and say nothing, it's a work in progress.

Well, got my rug, it's smaller than my last one but looks ok and hides the flat carpet so I'm happy. Went to Tesco too so £25 spent today between rug and food. Had smoked haddock, potatoes, cauliflower, cherry toms and coleslaw for dinner, was yum. Tomorrow it will be potatoes (you can tell I bought loads can't you), cabbage (super yum), bacon and beans, one of my all time favourite dinners.

Lunch will be whoopsied rolls, still really fresh, with ham and coleslaw.

Watching Katie My Beautiful Friends, first episode I think (cos I had taped it), makes you feel really humbled seeing how people cope with their disfigurements and quite guilty moaning about having a spot or wonky teeth or something equally as trivial. Bringing a wee tear to my eye, gonna go watch the rest before bed, so say night now.

beanielou

Kate & friends makes you think indeed.
Feel bad I moan about being wobbly & falling,mmmm.

Swinstie73

I know it's quite bad when we moan about trivial things, but falling over isn't trivial beanie so you shouldn't feel too bad about that.

Well only me and other women in office today, gonna be interesting, been getting on better but it's still a trial sometimes.

Going to make my over-payment to BC CC this morning, then to my Play one on Friday, it's getting exciting now, woo. Must not get too complacent though as I could very easily slip back the way this year what with the wedding and grand ideas of personal trainers. I need to really look at my budget and decide if it's worth it or not. Need to remember I'm getting my crowns re-done and not sure of the exact price as I'm sure the dentist told me it was more for front teeth. Got appointment on 28th April, so can find out then, if it is less than I initially thought, the money saved would pay for the PT.

Mustnotjumpthegun, mustnotjumpthegun.....

This also goes for headpieces, so wish I had taken mines with me when I went to see the dress, think I'm going to do that in the next week or so just to put my mind at ease. Only problem is if I do need another one, I will need to get it so the hairdresser can do my hair. Goodness knows what she'll be able to do with this birds nest!

Right, better get on with some work, whilst the cat's away and all that.

ETA: Over-payment made, current debt - £486.39!!!
