Benbenandme's Next Installment ...

benbenandme

So I went into work and confronted her, she denies putting in a complaint about me and burst into tears. After talking to her it seems that she may have gone to the staffroom and had a !!!!! about me to another t.a, who has then gossiped, twisted and exaggerated it and its got back to me. I made it very clear I was disappointed that she chose to !!!!! about me to another t.a, and that if there was an issue I'd prefer her to tell me to my face Hopefully now she gets the picture and that should be the end of it. I felt much better after talking to her, just wish it hadn't ruined my weekend :cool: Cutie texted me tonight to see how it went which was nice (text him over the weekend about it)

Todays spends = 60p on a biscuit at school.

I agree its rubbish about the crim being allowed out for days / weekends already, but am trying to be selfish about it and see it a some free time for me. I'm trying to get the housework done tonight that I haven't done all weekend, I have so far done he ironing mountain, tidied the kitchen again, tidied the lounge and my bedroom and have the bathroom and ds bedroom still to tackle

Glad it's all sorted out now

Hi, BB Hope that you and DS are both ok (( hugs ))

benbenandme

It went okay tonight, he turned up / returned ds on time, we didn't speak to each other as usual, ds seemed to have a nice time, all back to normal again for a few more weeks

Dirty Dancing last night was fab, had a really lovely night
Tired again today though, didnt get much sleep again because of the rain last night. Hopefully tonight will be better :cool:
Payday just doesn't seem to be getting any nearer this month, its been dragging since about the 3rd of April.

Tomorrow we've got Mums dog for a sleepover as shes away, then this weekend involves ds drama club, seeing Dad and I'm not sure what else just yet

Evening all, I won £56 on a games offer tonight :beer: I haven't added it to the mortgage pot though as I need to sort out the banking situation and I know I've hugely overspent this month, so it will probably just go towards clearing the deficit

benbenandme

We've been to ds drama lesson, taken Mums dog back, been shopping, I spent £47 in Boots :eek: Although £20 of this was capital bonds vouchers I found and they were about to expire (Monday), so £27 spent and £5 in Boots points back, so not so bad. For that I got some soap and glory stuff that was on 3for2 (wish upon a jar, 6in1 superboost moisturising lotion and rejuvenating face serum), 2 nail varnishes (white and pale pink french manicure ones), a new concealer (desperately needed), a free mascara for spending over £10 on makeup, some loose powder (reduced to £2 with a voucher) and some bronzer (reduced to £2.50)

I also popped into Asda and spent £4 on salad bits, £5.50 in McD's for lunch and £1 on the car park, then we watched some buses

So, home for the rest of the day and I'm planning a chill out session. My plans for the rest of today include;

• washing mountain
• banking
• manicure/pedicure
• general housework
• hot bath
• ds homework
• diet strategy

Hmm, the banking sort out isnt going well, I seem to be £300 adrift this month :eek: I knew it hadn't been good (Isle of Wight, night out with cutie, bucketloads of petrol etc etc), but didn't think it was anywhere near that bad, I need to go and check some betting accounts again, in case some has been left in one of them accidentally. I reckoned on it being about £200 adrift which is still bad enough.

Ah but at least you are aware of the exact situation so can make a start on improving it . I 'bet' you'll find something in the betting accounts.

Hmm, I havent discovered any extra, and when you think I won £50+ last night that went towards lowering the deficit already then its been a bad month, although, some of that deficit was from the previous month, and this has been a high spend month which is quite out of character for me

I have stopped my weightwatchers monthly pass this month so thats £20 a month less going out. I am also up to date with school lunch money etc, I have already paid for my travel to/from the wedding in London at the end of May, and I have a few money bits coming soon, I'm getting close to payout on a survey site and have some money coming from quidco at the start of the month.

So, the plan is to take the difference out of the mortgage pot which will basically just put the mortgage free date back by a month or so. I'm not keen on doing it but as I have such a small amount of spare money each month it would take ages to claw it back.
