children, cross-stitch and chocolate. Chickywiggles debt-free diary

The_Dragon

*snerk*, I know what you mean - mind you a friend of mine was insistent that her kids would never eat meat and then one day I was in B*rger K*ng (very nice veggie burgers they do! or used to) and her son was chomping on a Double Wh*pper with glee

Hmm what is happening re the rest of that cash (that is due to you) and please tell me he ain't in charge of that cash again in 2013 :eek:

I'm aiming for at least 10 N-S-D's. I am not counting normal Bills, or posting items, so a spend day is a day I physically use the debit/ credit card, real money or paypal to BUY something. Online shopping will normally be counted on the day it is placed (in the case of Tesco shop it will be the day before delivery as this is last day it can be changed).

I'm looking forward to going back to work this week if only to stop me spending my holiday finding stuff to buy. Have bought this morning the prison break dvd boxset in the @mazon boxing day deals sale.... Yesterday I was number crunching yet found myself on @mazon buying kindle books

ohh I NEARLY got that as we had it and lent it to a now ex friend so of course will never see it again..............then I figured we'd never actually watched it since it ended on TV so probably never would if I bought it. :rotfl:

Trip to B&Q and we are £34 lighter (painting).
Trip to Morrisons (closed), tesco (closed) and Asda and we are about £15 lighter as we needed Ham, oil and chips and I fancied a pie for tea so got some casserole beef and pastry.

sold some of the kids old bits and pieces so another £25 in the pot today.

Current total in the £365 fund (or perhaps the £1000 fund as I am wishfully now aiming for): £45 (+ whatever I had put in there before Christmas which I have no idea of).

was up till 2am with hubby putting a cabin bed together and re-arranging DS1's room............sooooooooooooooooooooo tired. roll on 80s TV and a duvet.....and the box of christmas choccies.

*Louise*

Bet the room looks good though so it's worth it :TI got the same bed for my DD last year and it makes such a difference to the space.

Have fun with your 80's nostalgia tonight :j

chickywiggle

yeah it looks ok - still a set of shelving to do when hubby gets home today before i can sort it properly.

80''s is on allll day so I got to watch about 4 programmes before getting kicked off so DS1 could play on the PS3............... roll on Tuesday when he will have his own (thanks to new phone contracts).


OHHH I am SOOOOOOOO cross this afternoon.............a 'friend' (i use the term loosly) put this as her status on facebook.

Great. Speeding ticket from new years eve. Miserable !!!!!!!s!

I pointed out I think anyone who speeds should get a lot more then a ticket. to get flamed down because and I quote:
"it was a dual carriageway, the roads were empty (due to it being new years even and lunchtime) and I was in no way driving dangerously"
"Speeding does not always = danger, and slow doesn't always = safe"
" it was 62 in a 50"
"And no schools, houses or even shops on that road.....or cars"

Sorrry but this makes my bloood boil.
I REALLY hope (ok I don't becuase i wouldn't wish it on my enemy but...) her kids get knocked down by someone speeding and then hear her say "oh it's fine you were only going 10 MPH faster then you should have, how were you to know you wouldn't hit someone".

I cannot get over my ANGER at the flippent responses she is giving!!!!!! and the back up from her friends.

Blimey - going some on there Chicky! (and what happened re the Eb*y sale?!)

and humph to the facebook stuff - a drunken driver speeding means I am now disabled.
