misscousinitt's MF Diary

Got to do a bit of jiggling about with money from the joint account. DH has been buying stuff to do some jobs and so I need to get that money transferred and then instead of giving it to DH it will come to me for the breakdown cover!!!

Haven't made my deposits yet - going to do all things financial tomorrow.

Big shop on the cards at Mr T tonight - approx £40 spent at Herr A last night. Freezers are still fairly full and need to get more focused on that meal planning again.

Weekend approaching and I am really glad. Not enjoying work at all at the moment. But its a means to an end.

Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Money jiggling done.


Finally using our new joint account for the house fund - just in the process of moving the bulk of the money from one (through my current account) to the other and as soon as I have paid those 50ps in we will have a little over £21k!


Was having a discussion with my work colleague yesterday and we were talking about money. I said to her about my fear of not having enough money, even though I know in my heart of hearts I that I am ok for cash. She says that she feels the same and that once you have that cushion, you just want to see it grow more - it's not a greed thing, it's a security blanket - so perhaps I am a little insecure about my life and what it holds...


On a lighter note - just got drenched doing the ice bucket challenge!

What a beautiful day its turning out to be! Outside, while I'm stuck in the office...intending to go out at lunchtime so I can catch some rays!

Stage 2 of getting the house fund into the higher interest account has taken place today - unfortunately, can only move £20k per day, so will have to wait till tomorrow to move the remaining £633.15 and DHs regular deposit of £50 (and maybe if I get the 50ps paid in at lunchtime I will transfer another £20).

Groceries came in at £34 at Mr T on Friday and only spent £0.58 on milk since.

Beginning to feel a little like my old self again - food is starting to interest me again and hope that I am well on the road to both recovery and positivity. Also started doing yoga to help with the stress levels.

Made a Cottage Pie last night (2 portions for the freezer) and a Turkey and 3 bean chilli - 5 portions in all - 2 for an evening meal and 3 smaller ones for me to take for lunch over the next few weeks.

Fish is on the menu later - not quite sure what I'm doing with it yet, but got some nice flavourings in the cupboard I can use.

Fish supper went out the window - had burger instead and it really hit the spot!

Final transfers made this morning - only £19.50 worth of 50ps as the machine spat one back out at me. Also transferred DHs £50 and I will get that back from the joint account later. Need to update signatures with the latest deposits.

I like the fact that our deposit savings are now over £21k! That was my second stage target and is the 'preferred' amount for moving. Onwards to the 'ideal' amount £30k.

Roast chicken dinner with all the trimmings tonight (including HG Cabbage from the allotment). Even though I've just had a chicken salad for lunch, really looking forward to my gravy dinner tonight.

Hope things improve soon. :-)

A feeling of security is always a bit of a moveable feast. You get one target and then think "oh maybe another month's worth"... ;-)

Thanks catshark - I think you have hit the nail on the head there!

I think that we wait to be secure with everything, we will never do anything and have the potential to miss opportunities.

Friday yay!

Feeling okish today and really glad it's nearly the weekend.

Got some nice things going on - out with my cousins and aunty & uncle tonight and at BILs graduation tomorrow PLUS BILs girlfriend is officially pregnant (they have kept it quiet because of previous miscarriages - but went for 3 month scan yesterday and all ok).

At last...some joy for the family.

No money news, apart from managed to sell something of Dad's for mum that has netted £150 (going round to give her that tonight).

Probably going to be a spendy weekend, but it won't impact on our plans so all ok!

Have good weekend all.
