Ok so have bid on two houses this morning, but have already been kncked off number one spot for them. Think having a house that im happy in, would make me feel alot better, atm i am just surviving as this house brings me down
Paypal money hasnt gone into bank yet, still just under a tenner in my paypal account and around £25 on its way to my bank account. That will go to capquest traight away.
Got a few items on ebay, finishing on sunday. 1 has a bid, a few have watchers, a few dont!PAD Maker0 -
Ok so update time.
Today has been a really $hitty day. My ds2 has broke mt wii fit game, so god knows how i am going to weigh in and whatnot now. Ds1 burnt 3 of his fingers today by putting his hand on a hot hob. Hes ok now but he was crying for nearly 3 hours afterward because it hurt, after some basic stuff that i did and he was still moaning, i rang my mate who helped me out aswell and it is better now. Going to keep him off school tomorrow to see how it is as it will blister up and he has only gone and done it on his right fingers which is the hand he writes with.
Sold 4 out of 17 items on ebay, 2 have paid so far so waiting on the other 2.
Food has been rubbish all week, did say i was having a week off to sort out a meal plan and exercise plan tho. feel yuk within myself at the minut. stress.
Got to pay rossendales, so will pay them tomorrow, but am going to update my sig now, just cos i like seeing it go downPAD Maker0 -
Ok so have paid rossendales today, have packaged up 3 of the 4 ebay items, i am still waiting for payment for one of the items.
I have £16 to last me the rest of the week, doubt this will happen. Son is off school today, but he has been fine and has told me his fingers are better, so back to school for him tomorrow. Ds2 has his 2 year check up tomorrow at the doctors, he is doing fine but is always wanting milk for drinks so am going to ask them what to do about that.
Get paid thursday, need to pay £10 to council rent arrears, top up the dongle for the internet and keep some money in for water bill and tv licence which are both due to come out on the 1st.PAD Maker0 -
STS this week for weight.
Paid today so have paid rent arrears and have overpaid on capquest. Have also topped up the internet dongle.
Landlord has txt me to ask if i want to extend my tenancy and we have agreed to 6 months, but i have told her i am bidding on council properties and she was ok for me to give her a months notice if i get offered one.
House is clean, but still a little messy.
Yesterday was my sons harvest festival. ds2 had his 2 year review on tuesday that went well. I have booked an appointment for next week for the nurse to get my depo done.
Ex actually gave me £20 on tuesday as he knew i was skint and so he now owes me £100, sis still owes me £52.PAD Maker0 -
Went to twinlakes today with some of the family. Had a really good day, felt good to just not think and stress all day.
Have made a £15 payment to capquest which takes this down to £124 remaining, should be gone by the end of the year. Got doctors on tuesday and i will walk there and maybe back too, good for the fitness and the waistline. Hoping for a 2lb loss this week. really hope i do lose this week as i am on the edge of giving up.PAD Maker0 -
Just a quick update to say that i have ordered my credit report again so i can see if all the debts i have paid so far have been marked at settled on my report. Also just to have a clean copy aswell as i have written over the old one and now it will look better and clean in my folder.PAD Maker0

Ok so today have done a bit of cleaning, been to doctors and picked up a new money jar, that is safely out of the way of the kids seeing as ds2 decided to break my last one. Have signed up to PAD and from yesterday and today, there is £3.50 in my new jar. 1s,2s and 5s go into another pot.
Weigh in tomorrow, hopefully as i have lost after having a few [EMAIL="!!!!py"]!!!!py[/EMAIL] weeks for the last 2 weigh ins.
Made a list with jobs to do which will last me up til sunday, i have been trying to do everything straight away and keep the house clean, but it hasnt been working so i have decided to do it a few jobs a day and hopefully i will make a dent in getting my house into a home!!PAD Maker0 -
