  • Hello All!

    Day started quite brightly here - but now it is raining! :(

    I have decided to log 'key dates' in my repayments to OH, so here they are.....

    11/03/2011 total repaid £1,000
    20/05/2011 £2,000
    29/07/2011 £3,000
    07/10/2011 £4,000
    16/12/2011 £5,000

    Seems like an awful lot of money written down like that - and it is! There is simply no denying it!

    At least it has broken this year into 5 chunks, lol..... only 8 weeks more and I'll be at the 20/05/2011 milestone! Sounds ok if you say it quick enough! lol

    Laters! x
    Slow day at work Nats :p
    I think it's a good idea, maybe you could colour code or name the periods.....
    LBM- finally kicked in 16/12/08 @ [strike]£41,862 [/strike] £0.00/ DFD- 24/12/13 :D

    Work has been busy today - but not so busy that I can't spend some quality time on here and thinking though! :D

    Hello everyone!!

    Well it is a rather dull and miserable day here today (weatherwise) - there is a real damp chill in the air! Oh well, soon be summer!

    So - what is there to report? Not a huge amount really. Was my buffday yesterday, so I had cakes and bits at work, money from my parents, a bottle of red from a friend and fab basket of B.Shop goodies from some rellies. Happy days. lol, my request for clothes from OH manifested itself into an indoor skydive, a stunning 'Pandora' style bracelet, a bunch of flowers and dinner out last night! I am one lucky (yet scruffily dressed) girl! :) Money from my parents will become my clothes budget - so, new mission......

    .......how much can I get for £100.00? Now, I know I could probably replace my entire wardrobe from Primani, but apart from staple items, I am not overly keen on a lot of their stuff :o. So I think some bits and pieces will come from there, and I will keep my eyes peeled for sales etc and take a little trip to TKMaxxxxxxx. What I really need to do is a full wardrobe and drawer assessment and work out what I actually need rather than buying stuff because I want it! I could do with a visit from Gok! ;) Gift vouchers on their way from my brother for a sportswear shop, so that will cover the rowing gloves I need to stop my hands from hurting!

    Right, time to do some work!! April tomorrow - come to mumma, my lovely 5 payday month!!!! Ooh and a change in tax allowance to look forward to too! HAPPY DAYS INDEED!!! :D

    It's payday - it's payday!!!! :j I really am not sure I could cope with monthly / 4 weekly pay!

    Well, have been online and checked my accounts and everything is behaving - another payment has winged its way to OH (signature updated - 7 payments to the £2,000 mark!).

    Not a lot to report really - it's all dull,dull, dull financially. Am not at work tomorrow, so need to direct some energy in the direction of housework and also cleaning my car! Off out for a late lunch / early dinner on Sunday for Mothers Day! And that is it really!

    Off to stare longingly at my spreadsheets for 5mins, just willing something to be out of place and need tweaking! lol

    Have a great Friday everyone and an even better weekend! Nats x

    i've finally got another amount to pay out from Q'co but not sure when the next payout will be, it's been months since they last paid me anything.

    Good Monday morning everyone!

    Well, despite a really foggy start to the day, the sun is now shining and the sky is blue!

    Ok - so catch up from the weekend......
    • Car washed, polished, dusted, vacuumed - the full works.
    • Spent a total of £20 out of my b'day monday (clothes allowance) - for my money I got, 2 x T's, a bracelet and a pair of very cute red pumps from P.mark and a rather fetching over-the-shoulder-boulder-holder from Mr T.co.
    • Still got my entire decorating budget of £200 intact. Went to get the wallpaper on Sat, but another pattern grabbed my attention and now I have a dilemma.
    • Took my mum and SD out for dinner along with my brother yesterday - ate faaaaar tooooo much, but it was incredibly yummy. SD insistead on paying for the drinks, so that left just over £23 each for my brother and I. :D
    • Gave my brother his share of the cashback I got for mums b'day present; that cheered him up!!
    • My brother gave me b'day present - £40 voucher for a sportswear shop; that should keep me in gym stuff for a while!
    And then this morning I have received my cashback of £31.92, so have moved that around accordingly.

    LT - I believe they do 2 payments a month now - onne at the beginning and one about halfway through .... so keep an eye out!

    I am looking for some cashback on an internet betting site as its Grand Nation weekend this week!! Have always managed to get something to cover my bet! And usually get some return on my bets - so a winner all round!

    And thats it for now!!! Enjoy the sunshine all! x
