    Will be glad when xmas is over, then i can take these decs down, they are doing my head in already.

    More payments due out this week, on tuesday and thursday. Busy week this week, have council coming to do my waste pipe for washing machine on monday, doctors tuesday morning and dentist on wednesday morning then i have to go and get the kids hamster on either thursday or friday.

    Soo tired, just want to go back to bed. The cold is making me eat more which is also making me feel like [EMAIL="!!!!"]!!!![/EMAIL] and i know by the end of the year i will have put alot of weight back on.

    Right enough moaning better go get the kids some lunch

    Some money been banked today, rossendales £20 payment. Been to docs. dentist tomorrow morning.

    Yesterday council came round and sorted out my waste pipe for my washing machine, now just waiting for them to sort out my bedroom ceiling. Hoping my sister pays me the money back she owes me this week. Need to go and get the boys their hamster on friday. Also need to start getting back into exercising and cutting out the junk again. think its the cold weather makes me eat more rubbish.

    Hello diary.

    Been a bit stressed today, kids know how to wind me up. Cant wait for this year to be over, although it hasnt been a bad year, im hoping 2012 will be an even better year.

    Today i have cleaned the house as much as needed. Been to iceland, sooo busy and naturally i didnt stay there long as everyone was buying their xmas food and i only wanted a few bits to last me the week. Also stocked up on cigs for over the xmas period so i wont have to mess about trying to find a open shop on xmas day.

    Cant wait to take the tree down, its right near the front door, gets knocked loads, the kids knock all the baubles off it and it aint the prettiest tree so will be glad when i can take it down.

    Need to finish the house and still have quite a few things to buy like carpets for stairs and my room, wallpaper for my room and bathroom, mattress for youngest sons bed, new recycling bin for kitchen and new pots and pans. Think thats it.

    January i will have to buy my mums birthday present, try and pay at least £250 off the debt and try to lose 7lbs.

    Hello diary.
    Had a good christmas, kids loved all their presents. I have been out with my mum today and have brought some new jumpers. Needed them.
    Kids have a bit of christmas money, so will save that until they say they want something.
    No payments to debt over the festive period, but i will be making a payment when i next get paid. Will also be working out how much i have paid off the debt(and mother) in december.

    Today i have been out for most of the day got alot done though.
    Shopping is done for the week, went and took a few things to the tip, brought my son a mattress for new bed from ikea, brought a freesat box and set it up as i got told this was cheaper than getting a aerial on the roof and it was, so money saved there. Gave my mum a tenner petrol money as she took me everywhere today. Washed pots, cleaned out the hamster, swept living room, emptied bins.And visited my sister.

    Got paid my child benefit early as it would have been due on a bank holiday, not touching this atm though as i have tv licence and water due at beginning of jan, but they may go out tomorrow, Need to pay rossendales on tuesday and also need to start paying my mum some money for my cooker. Whatever is left will go on overpayments.

    Need to get some gas and electric as well at some point.

    Happy new year all.

    Today i have started off well and got quite a few jobs done, still got a bit more to do but have taken a bit of time out to catch up on the threads.
    I have bagged up some coins to go and put in the bank tomorrow. Need to pay rossendales tomorrow or tuesday, then i will sort out what i have left and work out what to do with it and where it will go.

    New years resolutions are:

    Lose weight
    Cut down on smoking
    Pay at least £3k off the debt

    Few payments today, to rossendales and ncc. Also put some money aside for when i next see my mum so i can pay her for my cooker. Spent a little bit today, but had to go out to pay rossendales and needed milk. All money spent is now going into a spending diary so i can see where my money is going, rather than guessing.

    Couldnt put any of my bags of coins in the bank as they aint open today, must have my thick head on as i know they dont open on bankholidays but still took the coins out with me. Will do that when they reopen.

    Have washed the pots and trying to get the washing dry. dont dare to hang it outside cos knowing my luck it will start raining.

    Kids want pizza for dinner, so much for healthy eating and it doesnt help on the eve of weigh in.

    Get paid again on thursday. Need to pay lewis and daniel silverman. Any left over will go on overpayments. Trying to sell a few bits to get some cash.

    Only need £1.45 to cash out on onep*ll wish they would hurry up and put some surveys on.

    Cant finish the painting in my room as my eldest doesnt want to go out today and i need to get a paint pad. Also need to get some gas and electric, so looks like we may have to go into the emergency today.
    Just put some stuff in the bin ready for collection tomorrow and some dirty person has put a duvet and cover into the bin which is covered in dog/cat hair. Naturally i have chucked it back out again, not having people use my bin when i need it myself.

    Need to go and check the boys bedroom as it might need a clean. I have cleaned the bathroom a little just need to mop up there. Exercise will have to wait till later as the kids wont let me turn the cartoons off.
