Benbenandme's Next Installment ...

Sometimes it's quite nice to go to bed really early and just read or watch TV

Sorry your works night turned out to be a bit of a non event. At least you are on holiday now - I'm working right up till next Friday

Re cutie....I think it's probably best to chalk him down to experience. If he wants to get in touch he will. Let him do some of the running. I think some men like that and it throws them a bit if all the work is done for them. If he doesn't get in touch, well then it's his loss. Some men don't know a good thing when it's staring them in the face.

So cutie text me to say please could we reschedule for later in the week as his car had broken down and he was still trying to get it fixed (he was away yesterday), so I have another night in tonight. Not really a problem as its freezing out tonight, I've spent the day with my brother and family and its been lovely. I replied saying it wasn't a problem and could he let me know when would be good so I can arrange childcare, we'll see what he comes back with ....

So tonight I may have another attempt at seeing what state the finances are in as I don't have a clue currently, today have only spent £1 on milk

£4 earned from a p*necone survey

Still didn't get on with the finances last night, watched Strictly, did the ironing and had a really good nights sleep :T

This morning we're meeting my brother and family and mum/dad and going to the ski centre for an hour of ski bobbing followed by hot chocolates all round

Crouchy is coming over tonight, was supposed to be for a debriefing on last night but never mind, no doubt we'll manage to natter on about something else for ages instead

Had a lovely morning ski bobbing,went with mum and dad, brother and his family, sister and her family. Its very rare these days we all do anything together so was a special time

Now snugled on the sofa, trying to warm up, waiting for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory to start. I'm going to blitz my documents on the laptop while its on, I need to focus more on finances so instead will have a go at sorting out my folders, my inbox and files in my emails etc, deleting old stuff on here I don't need anymore. Then I can also start thinking about organising some new folders on here ready for the New Year

Having read your dairy I must say well done, you seem to overcome a lot in the past!

benbenandme

Have spent lots of time starting to plan next years financial aims, will update properly tomorrow but bsaically the year should start with my mortgage being approx £27k and I am aiming to get it down to £19,999 by the end of the year. Its unlikely but hey, I like a challenge :rotfl:

Thankyou nan, please keep posting

So, crouchy came over and left at about midnight, I text cutie yesterday tos ee how his car was and he replied saying £250 repair bill

So, todays plan = Sainsburys in an hour or so with mum and ds, then home to do some xmas baking this afternoon and to continue with the end of year finance plans. I may also wrap some more presents later too. I have opened a dispute on ebay for my secret santa item tht never arrived, I ordered on 5th December and it still isn't here yet (not even a parcel, flat and will fit in a normal envelope :cool:). Hopefully I'll get my fiver back there.
