  • I am still mulling over money schemes.

    I like the smell of the lilies it just doesnt like me.

    Today will tidy the garden, and photograph some more ebay while listing regularly as things listed today for ten days will finish on a Sunday which is good.

    Hey got to be busy outside while the weather is like this!

  • Things are going to be tight this month I think. I am getting a little concerned about it all, but theres nothing else I can do really. Just hope my ebay sells well, and cut spending and try not to use the car much...

    :j:j:j Yey !! Well Done !! Better than nowt !!

    Quick question if you dont mind SBO, are you on a DMP or tackling the debts as you go along ? I'm sure its probaby mentioned in your diary and Ive just missed it. I'm asking as I notice you often pay the odd £2 ish here and there off of a card.I have wanted to do that at times, but as I'm on a DMP feel that I cant as then they might ask me to up my agreement. I just wondered what your situation was if you dont mind me asking xx :D

    Debt-free and Proud!
    Just checking in..I did giggle at the thought of the speed at which you shimmied over that 8 ft gate..don't think of yourself as a bad mother..all parents have such tales to tell... and theres a reminder every time he looks at his buzz toy! (Mine involved DD2 at maybe 14 months, stairs, hitting head and a trip to A&E..)

    Do tell re money making schemes..I need some cash pronto!

  • Sorry havent been about peoples, I was offline due to workmen cutting my phone off and the laptop being used for many things as the phone was a wifi hotspot.

    So normal order is restored and my laptop returns.

    no I am not on a debt management plan. I just make my payments as per the snowball and then pay a bit more as and when I can.

    There has been a bad few days co inciding with the loss of internets, one of my cats has passed away and my washing machine is also gravely ill.

    Just as well I have a one at the other house.

    Weather has taken a nosedive too.

    Oh well, hubby off this week and we will make the best of it all.

    Hope everyone is good as gold. x

    Hey Skint!!!!

    So lovely to see you are back whilst I have been away.

    One thing - I know the feeling of thinking you are a rubbish mum but trust me, you wouldn't feel like that if you WERE a rubbish mum cos they wouldn't be bothered if they were.

    My son ALWAYS turns my cooker on - it's gas - and only yesterday tried to lock me out of the house on purpose and was laughing hysterically as I tried to edge closer to which he turned the key a touch more. He is 21 months and part monkey.

    Love that you are back in the game, I am too - bring it on is what I say.

    So what's happening with work then, how is your health?

  • hello me love.

    Should be back to work on a phased return in the next 2 weeks. Glad to see you are in the game too.

    Unfortunately the washer is deceased and I am in need of a new one. Cue mad saving for a recon washer.

    Kids drive you insane done they. I am also amused its mothers of monkey boys who have the isses. My girls were no angels but they didnt do this kind of thing. Oh hang on, rose tinted glasses, I am remembering a painting of the sofa with nail varnish now.

    Right we are skint but it is Easter hols so quick lunch then out to feed some ducks and pop to Al*i for some cheap beer and wine.

    thats how we roll. xx see you all later!
