Morning all :-)

Today's plan:

- Check my accounts and bring my tracking spreadsheet up to date with the weekends spends
- Work Lunch shop - hit the supermarket at lunchtime and fill my desk drawer with food for the weeks lunches.
- Phone charging at work
- Start "The Big Clearout" - one room at a time to be emptied, cleaned, redecorated and refilled. Today I'll be emptying the front room and the cupboard under the stairs, and hopefully cleaning the carpet.

Morning Everybody.
Well that's my very non MSE weekend over with, better get back on the wagon as of today. The faster I can get rid of debts the faster we can move house.
Todays list:
Get tram into Brum to meet a friend for a coffee and take back a top that doesn`t fit. (Bought two tops from the same shop, one doesn't fit and the other one fits beautifully but they forgot to take the security tag off it. ). Not spend a lot, only planning on a coffee, might get dogs a couple of butchers bones in market.
Fill up with petrol, will que at Mr M as its 2p a L cheaper than the local station.
Drive sensibly for 200 miles up the M6 to save fuel.
Have big hugs from my doggies (and maybe OH!) when I get home.
Do a bit of college work this evening.

Hope everyone has good 1st of the month Monday.

Happy Monday lovelies!

Congrats Wannabe01! That is great news.
Had a really chilled out weekend, and actually relatively MSE. We visited a place called a scrapstore at the weekend. They collect offcuts, overstocks, miss packaged etc goods from companies and sell them on cheap to members. I set myself a budget and stuck to it! A lovely idea and a great for all crafters, schools etc.
We also saw OH's family yesterday and went for a walk after dinner. Was really pleasant, something OH and I are trying to do in the quest to shift some bulk!

Today i have/will:
-bus to work and home with bus pass
-lunch, snacks and drinks either from home or made here
-check onepoll, pigsback etc
-will go for a walk in a bit, need some air, but no spending
-LSD just milk for the office
-click affiliate link
-check on ebay sales
-all searches through swagbucks
-check banking and update budget

I also got my sisters christmas present this weekend, so shuffled the money for it out of my savings. I'm determined not to have massive debts after christmas again! I'm buying as I see and saving for the rest.
Have a great day all xx

Ok let's see....

1. Online banking - no expenses paid in yet (grr) and cheque not cleared from wedding present (sigh).
2. Eat lunch in house as working from home, rather than go to pub and get a burger.
3. Go to gym after work rather than go to pub!
4. Check with new prospective employer who might actually pay me on time, got an interview on friday yay.
5. Do spreadsheet monthly budget to take into account possible change from weekly pay to monthly (ouch).
6. Start trying to work out why the heck my electricity payment (single fuel household) has gone from £70 a month to... £130 !!!!
7. Chase down water bill people, I have been overpaying them £25 a month for the last 3 months and I want it back.
8. Shout at orange for rebate, 3 phones and all of them cutting out on calls because the local cell network has been broken for months, already been promised rebate, pondering changing networks because this is dreadful.
9. Stare at screen and realise my procrastination for the day is not good as I obviously have way too much to get done!

Afternoon all,

Quick ebay question which I wanted to run past you.....I list things at 99p + postage, when I list the item I guess that the postage will cost £x....when the person pays, they pay winning bid + P&P, which paypal shows...my question is, do I have to print out and pay for the labels on paypal or can I go to the post office and buy postage using cash????

Today I have/will
• Will have a NSD – apart from my railpass, but this is budgeted for
• Do any surveys in my mailbox
• Look for MS jobs
• Meals from stores
• Checked my online banking – moved odd pennies to savings account
• Worked on my budget for the month – not pretty, but should be OK
• Check Quidco
• Charging phone at work
• Think positive today
• Read newspaper online
• Read the freebie paper on the train
• Need to check out the freebies and the competition boards
• Enter comps online
• Drink plenty of water
• Take meds and vits to control hormones
• Update food diary (online and paper copy)
• Check mobile useage
• Batch cook a couple of meals for the week
• Catch up on the thread whilst dinner is cooking

Will see what happens....

Take care everyone

Candy - you can take it to the post office and pay cash. I find you might aswell do this with bigger items as you have to go there anyway. If i have small items i print the postage via paypal and put them in the postbox to avoid the PO queues!
