My sons school text yesterday asking us to pick kids up early because of a broken boiler. Hes not at school today as they are still having problems. So today i have been out to take a film back to blockbuster and my son chose one he wanted to watch. so today all we have done is watch cars 2, postman pat and are now watching Hop(one we rented).
I have finally just applied for payout on onepoll, have been stuck on £39.80 for ages as there hasnt been any surveys on, so hopefully should get that soon and i can pay it off a debt.
Dentist tomorrow and payday thursday so will be making some more debt payments then.

Wish it would warm up soon, im bloody freezing all the time, this house is ever so cold.

Payments made yesterday and a small payment made today. havent had onepoll payout yet, but it will go straight off a debt when it comes through. Have ordered a £10 voucher off one of my survey sites.

Mums birthday next week, dont know what to get her. was going to give her my sons old dsi but my youngest plays with it and i doubt i will be able to get it off him. hmmm

Just done a second coat on 2 of my bathroom walls as it was patchy. Need to sort out wallpaper for my room still.

No plans for over the weekend, dont want to spend any money but i hate sitting about the house all day.

Well today has been quite a productive day.

Mum has been and took a few bits to the tip for me, I have spent most of the day up in my bedroom wallpapering, it is all done now, just waiting on the council to sort out my ceiling and then i need to get a carpet when i can afford it.

ok so have been tidying up mostly today, Have took my steamer down to my sisters for her to borrow, have sold a wii game to someone who has not long picked it up and that £3 has gone into the pot.

Really struggling for money, doubt i will last past tomorrow and i dont get paid till friday.

Tonights free movie from blockbuster is bad teacher, dont really like cameron diaz but will see what it is like

Wow havent updated for a while. Not alot to report though.

Payday on tuesday so i will be paying rossendales and ncc and then on thursday i will be paying lewis and daniel silverman. Also need to see if i have enough to pay a bit off what i owe for my oven to go to my mum.

Have been out today for dinner with my boys, mum sis her kids and her partner. Mum paid, shes lovely bless her. So today has been a nsd. This morning i have sorted some clothes out, swept and mopped all of the living room, everything was pulled out and cleaned.

Still waiting on the council to do some jobs that need doing to the house, they dont half know how to keep you waiting!!

Feb goals are going to be:-
lose at least 5lbs
pay off at least £250 to the debt
Take better care of myself

Dont wanna set myself to many goals as i dont want to set myself up for failure. Have got a few things to take to the charity shop so will try and do that this week.

Well hello diary.

Since my last post, i have managed to make some payments to all of my debtors. I am now only £154 away from being in 4 digits worth of debt instead of 5 digits. I should be able to get rid of the £154 this month.

Diet is not going well at all, and i am deffo blaming the cold weather, last year i was doing really well from may till october/november time. As it started getting a bit colder, i have started to fail.

I need to sort out the quitting of the cigs aswell. I hate smoking now and i think i just do it out of habit, and a bit of addiction but the taste is foul and it aint doing me any good or the kids. May have to pop into the doctors and see what they can do for me. I had a look at that new quickmist thing but at £17.99 just for one that will only last 3 days, it aint worth it. will see if the doctor will help me.

Have been doing some jobs around the house all day and watching postman pat. I have been watching this everyday since monday. my 2 yr old is obsessed lol

Well today, the shopping has been done. This weekend i will not be going out, it is too cold and if the weather reports are true, the snow will make me keep to this, as i hate being cold and i hate snow.

So need to start looking after my money better, kids treats and food shopping takes up alot of my money as does smoking. need to cut all 3 of these down and save some pennies.

Been busy all morning, i have baked cakes for the kids, wash pots, put a wash on, ironing done, ironing put away, living room cleaned, boys bedroom cleaned, wet washing hung on airer,.
Last night i put my new bathroom mirror and shelf up. I am now in a predicament that for the rest of today and tomorrow, i havent left anything to do and now have to watch the kids cartoons for the rest of the weekend.

On the plus side, today and tomorrow will be nsds. need to get some electric but i have put the emergancy on til monday as i am determined not to go out in this freezing weather this weekend.

HMMM may have to make some mess so i have something to do, i have only been watching these cartoons for 20mins and i am already bored of the things.
