and you should turn your frown upside down on your signature you are below 10k now and going in the right direction i can't wait until i can officially say mine is sub 10k! (hopefully just a few months now!) xx

Well when it was over 10k it was :eek:, maybe when its under 5k it will be and when its 0 it will be :j :T :rotfl:

Ok so today i was paid my CB. Rossendales and daniel silverman have been paid, have saved some money to give to my mum tomorrow for my oven and phone bill.

Have been out and brought, wash powder, conditioner, fabric freshener, pop, few other bits and bobs. Spent a bit more than i wanted to as one son wanted yogurts and the other wanted fruit shoots.

Had a very stressful morning, ds1 didnt want to go to school this morning and wouldnt get out of bed. Alot of shouting and banging, and now i have him stayed at home and my kitchen door handle has broken, as i slammed it abit too hard this morning as he was stressing me out.

Also yesterday ds2 had put a plastic toy into the oven, so when i started dinner i didnt know it was there until about 10 minutes in and it started smelling foul and smoking out my kitchen. So been a bit stressful round here recently.

Tomorrow i have two men coming round to finally sort out my bedroom ceiling, so when that is done, i will be able to start painting it next week and that will be my bedroom sorted except for a carpet that is still needed.

My sisters birthday tomorrow so need to remember to give her her birthday card in the morning when i see her.

Need to do a bit more cleaning today, have already done some and put a washload on so waiting for that to finish and hope i can get it out and it wont p it down.

Ok so the two bulider men are here, making noise and a mess i think. But hopefully getting my ceiling sorted in the bedroom. Think they have just gone out for a fag break.
I am on day 9 of not smoking now. Going really well. most stressful day since i quit was yesterday. But i got through it.

So today will be mostly sitting in waiting for the blokes to finish doing my bedroom. Will be cleaning up and doing the ironing.

Tomorrow, its the example concert. need to sort out bag for kids stuff to take to their nannas, but also need to sort out my stuff to see what im wearing.

i'm sorry but i did laugh when i read about your ds putting a toy in the oven :rotfl: it reminds me of my son!!! little blighters eh!

My debt is down to 10.4k now i checked this morning :j so 5k off in one and bit years and hopefully down to around 6 by end of year all going to plan so nice to see it coming down instead of going up :j

hope the builders don't leave a big mess!! xx

ok, so its monday, tired but determined to get alot done today. Washing has already gone out on line and another load is in the washer. Got my jobs list at the ready.

builders did leave a bit of mess. i have hoovered up what was on the floor and wiped down painted walls from the rubbish they left on it. they have also left plaster over my wallpapered wall and if i try and pick it off, the paper comes off too. Suppose it gives me an excuse to redecorate lol

Money in bank £40. thats for water and tv licence to come out tomorrow. Money is cash £10. that is to last till friday. If i need more, i may have to use my sparkle/not smoking fund

you're doing fab on quitting the smoking well done you! Has it made you feel better yet (or worse as i hear it sometimes does at the beginning?!)

xx

Its made me feel soo much better. I can actually carry my son up a hill without getting really out of breath. so looks like my lungs are clearing out a bit.
Sleeping was horrible to start with as i was waking up loads in the middle of the night, but that seems to be geetting better too now.

Got quite a bit done today, not as much as i hoped but it will do. at least i managed to get all of the washing dry. Now i have a BIG pile of ironing
Would have got more done, but me and ds2 went on the wii for a bit and lost track of time.

Next new leaf appointment is in 2 weeks time, due to it being a bank holiday next monday, but thats ok as i have picked up 2 weeks worth of patches today

havent been on for a while. not much to update really. already paid rossendales which is due on tuesday so dont need to worry about that.

still going strong on not smoking, today is day 20.

was going to be a nsd today but i needed some pepsi max( another addiction to get rid of) and there was a craft fair in a little hall near the shops. paid £1 for kids to make a mask and do some colouring. so i have spent £5.10 today, plus need to put £2 into my not smoking pot

mandz1

3 weeks 1 day smoke free. Still going strong

Sun is out a little bit today, have already been out pulling out loads of weeds. have just had lunch and im going to go back out and try and finish.

It is 1 year today that my grandad passed away, so i am trying to keep busy.

Did quite a lot of cleaning yesterday and also got the kids to bin all of their broken toys, so there is a little bit of extra room. until their birthdays which are both very soon.

Right back off into the garden for me.

Ok so payday tomorrow, need to pay some bills and buy some birthday presents, also need to give mum some money as she picked up some paint for me for the kids bedroom. Will update tomorrow as i need to see what money i am getting before making big plans.
