Mandz1 is finally sorting it out!

mandz1

Pizza tonight for dinner as i really cant be bothered to cook.

Have done a few jobs around the house, but not been overly productive.

Won £20 on a scratchcard. £1 of which has been spent on milkshake for the kids, so £19 is going to be put away as i dont just want to buy rubbish with it.

Mums going to pick up my 2 tins of paint for me from her work and i will give her the money back.

Also made a small £3 payment to the debt!

sat here watching postman pat with ds2, waiting for my bed to arrive. Good job i risked it taking son to school this morning otherwise he would be really late by now.

Paid £60 off the debt. More payments tomorrow aswell. Hopefully can get it below 9k very soon.

Need to go out this afternoon (hopefully if bed arrives when they say it should). need to get a mop head so i can clean up properly.

bed came at 11. went out but didnt spend that much. ds2 got a new postman pat duvet cover.

Dont know where they're coming from but i seem to keep getting ants in my kitchen and have to keep killing them cos they are doing my head in, as well as the flys that decide to fly in every time i open the back door

Mum is coming up tomorrow so will get my paint and that shall keep me busy for a few days.

Need to have a go around with the hoover tomorrow and a wipe around the kitchen. May need to clean kids bedroom again.

Ok tomorrow is painting day.

Going to try and get the skirting boards glossed and another coat on the ceiling. Then will be out all day sunday cos the boys are with their dad and sunday will try and get as much of the walls painted/ marks painted over. Then need to sort out getting a new carpet and getting it fitted and then putting new bed up.

Did some food shopping today but also need to get some freezer stuff tomorrow at some point.

Debt is going down only 100 quid of 9k now.

wow your really kicking the debt's a$$! well done and keep at it ...oh and good luck with all the painting i love the idea of freshly painted rooms but hate doing them lol x

mandz1

I hate painting aswell. didnt used to until i moved into this house and its horrible, stupid walls. lol

Anyway, skirting boards have been glossed along with the window ledge and my door. Ceiling has been painted to stop it looking patchy, even though it probably still is. will have to see.
Cant really put my mattress back on the floor again until the skirting boards are dry so will do that after dinner, gives it plenty of time then.

People on FB have been going on and on about the fifty shades trilogy, and although i dont usually conform, i have and i have brought 2 of them. If the books arent as good as everyone has been saying, i will be very unhappy with alot of my fb friends.

Kids are at their dads tomorrow, i have no plans as yet.

Ok so i havent been on since friday, I have been reading Fifty shades of grey and 50 shades deeper. I thought the second 1 was better than the first. 1 more to go.

Not alot done in terms of debt, have been saving in my jar though.

Done a bit more painting, none today though as i couldnt be bothered. Will try and finish, or do as much as possible tomorrow.

mandz1

Have been busy. mainly reading. read all 3 of the 50 shades books in a week. They were good though.

Have also been dismantling my chest of drawers as its broke. have been painting, been looking after my nieces and nephew, have brought one of my other nieces her bday present.

Also been saving some money in a jar, paying a little bit of the debt and gerenal cleaning and upkeep of the household.

Get CB on tuesday so will pay some more debt and should be below 9k. eeek

mandz1

Have finished painting my bedroom, my mum is picking up my carpet for me and so i can lay it tomorrow and put my new bed up so i am no longer sleeping on a mattress on the floor.

Then on tuesday, payments are going out which means that i will make my payments so that my debt is under 9k. :j Will be even better at 0, but for now i will be happy with it going down.

Have sorted out money for cleethorpes. hope not to go over budget and come back with some change.

mandz1

Yay! i am finally under 9k

And as they say, onto the next........
