Mandz1 is finally sorting it out!

Ok so today i have been being lazy most of the morning, had a friend round so it was his fault really. Went out this afternoon and put £6 worth of change in the bank, brought some milk and juice,only to come back to the fridge light not working so think it may be knackered. Brought a few other bits and bobs which i shouldnt have done. Came home have paid rent arrears for this fortnight and have overpaid on capquest. Now down to £176 on that so hopefully will be gone by the end of the year.

Still waiting on feedback for a few of my ebay items so that the funds can be released. Take the p. i want my money as that is another £35 i could pay of capquest. Mum said she is definately going to do a car boot on sunday, we will see, i know how she is for changing her mind.

Got an email off fonebank to say they have received my old phone and the money should be in my bank soon. That will go straight to mother as i still owe on that phone to her catalogue.

2 more payments left to go for this month that are due on 28th and 29th. these are my fortnightly payment plans. so any extra money i make will go straight to capquest so i can clear that asap. Then its on to tackle the bigger debts and figure out who i am going to give overpayments to. Think its easier to pay what is set up on payment plans every month, then just concentrate on overpaying on one so that it goes down quicker and leaves me with less creditors.

Right dinner should be nearly ready so im off to dish up.

Ok have been to do the food shop for the week, spent just over £20, then went to the local shop to get electric, cigs and 20p worth of sweets for my youngest. Just had lunch, really need to do some exercise at some point.

Surveys on onepoll are really low at the minute, dont seem to be getting many. No money from fonebank yet will probably go in early next week. Still waiting for the hold to come off my paypal, 3 people need to leave feedback for this to happen otherwise i will have to wait till the 21 days is up.

May go gym tomorrow if i can afford to as really need to get my energy levels up again. Think the diet coke/pepsi was giving me most of my energy.

Although good news is that will doing shopping at tesco, they had a sale on some clothes, and i did not give in and brought nothing. Did buy something for my grandma though that i am going to put away for christmas.

Ok so while dinner is cooking, gonna do a small update.

Have paid £9 to capquest, have done about 2 surveys all day. Think i am going to let mysurveys build up to a decent amount of points before i pay out on that cos £3 or £5 isnt really worth it. Onepoll is on £12 so that will take a while before it gets to £40.

Have cleaned the bin and canisters and front of microwave, just need to do inside of it now. Have cleaned living room and emptied the bins. Need to think of some more money making ideas. The ms i am signed up to never has any jobs on for my location so that is a waste of time.

Kids should be at their dads tomorrow, but he hasnt text me yet for a time so will sort that out later.

Hoping my mum does actually want to do a car boot on sunday as even though i havent got that much to sell now, every little helps.

mandz1

Ok so mum didnt want to do a carboot as it was forecast bad weather, but this morning i have just put some small items on ebay. Some have been relisted from before, so hopefully they sell this time. Need to get some extra pennies somehow.

Last night i emptied the piggy and have got £7 in change to put into the bank. Ex gave me £15 to go towards my sons school pics. Dunno what to do about them tho as i already have loads of pics of the kids and it is wasted money, but if i dont order some, he will ask questions as to why as he gave me some money for them.

Have hoovered the living room and cleaned my ds1 bedroom, although if i go up now it is probably a mess again. Need to wash the pots, going to do that after lunch.

Food wise yesterday was bad, started of really good until dinner time when me and my mum brought muffins and a cake. Need to get some kind of exercise today as i feel horrible and really guilty.

Right better keep waddling on and get some stuff done.

Majorly p***ed off, son cant find his dsi anywhere, i have looked all over and still cant find it, have txt everyone to see if they have it in their house incase we have left it there. He couldnt lose a cheap thing could he? had to lose the most expensive thing i have brought him.

Anyway have washed pots, cleaned bag cupboard and wiped kitchen surfaces. Dont wanna do anything now cos im in a very bad mood

mandz1

Right ok, so i found my sons dsi, he didnt help at all when trying to find it. So glad i have found it though.

Dropped my ds1 off at school this morning then walked to the bank about 2 miles away to pop in £7 worth of change from the piggy. Then walked back home.

I have brought milk on offer 2 4pints for £1.80 which is cheaper than my local shop that charges £1.55 for just 1 4 pint. Have sent my ds1 photos back to school. I have ordered just enough for my ex, his mum and my mum.

Not much cleaning needs to be done other than clean my eldests bedroom again.

Have made a £9 payment to capquest, which was made up from the £7 change i put in the bank and £2 that was already sat in my bank.

Really dont knoow what is wrong with me at the moment, cant be bothered to do anything, dont wanna exercise, keep eating loads, cant be bothered to clean the house, as the kids just mess it up again 5 mins later. I seem to be smoking more than i usually do. I am drinking pepsi max again.
Just feel like i am trying to do everything at the moment and now my patience is running low, some things just dont seem worth the effort.

Yes i do want to be debt free, yes i do want to lose weight, yes i do at some point want to fall in love with the man of my dreams, yes i do want to move house and get rid of all the junk in the house. Just need some extra motivation and that extra push to get me going again.

Anyway, havent got alot of money left for the rest of the week, prob just over £10, which has to get me to friday.

Maybe because the weathers changing thats why i am. could be, or could just be another excuse.

So i have managed to wash the pots and clean my ds1 bedroom up. When he gets home im sure it will be a mess again.

Think i need to start planning for when it starts getting colder. Hopefully i wont be in this bloody house tho and i will have a nice house with a garden. But i do need to start stocking up on canned food, even if it is just beans, spagetti hoops and peas. Also may stock up on dry packets, so pasta and noodles etc. At least then when im skint, i have food in for the kids. Think most stuff has good dates on them except for fresh stuff like fruit, bread etc. Would fill the freezer, but if i move then i would have to get someone to store it for me while my freezer restarts up and i doubt anyone will have room in their freezer for another familys freezer full. Will leave it for the time being and just stock up on cheap tins and packets.

Also need to wash the coats etc so we have enough warm clothing and that i dont need to panic if we run out. DS2 needs some new clothes. May have to lower overpayments next month so i can buy him some new trousers, tops jumpers etc. DS1 has loads of clothes and hardly wears them most of the time as he is in his school clothes for 5 days out of 7.

Weigh in day tomorrow and i am absolutely dreading it. Havent done much exercise this week other than walking, have ate like a pig, shovelling rubbish down my neck. Will see what the scales say in the morning.

Right it will soon be lunch time and my ds2 will want some food, even though he will probably eat the inside of his sandwich and leave the bread, like normal.

So got a phone call from my mum earlier saying she has ordered her new sofa. Seeing as i am having her old one which is still in pretty good condition, it means i have to try and get rid of mine. So my big one has started to get cut up, i have cut up all the leather off it took all the fluff stuff out of it and removed all the springs. Ahh the jobs you can do with a pair of scissors and a screwdriver. Just need to wait for my mum to bring the hammer up on friday, so i can break down the wood frame. or beat the [EMAIL="!!!!"]!!!![/EMAIL] out of it, depending on my mood.

As predicted ds1 bedroom is a mess again.

mandz1

Ok so sofa is now in the corner of the living room all broken up. Will take it tip when my mum comes up. Got all the wood and filled 6 black bags with the leather, stuffing and springs.

Weighed in yesterday, was a +2lbs. Felt sorry for myself and ate a pack of choc hobnobs. woke up feeling guilty that i had done this.Today i am going to be good, no choc, no biscuits and no mindless snacking. Should be easy as theres not alot of food in the house and im skint so cant go and buy rubbish. Tomorrow is payday, so food shopping needs to be done.

Right need to go check surveys and ebay.
