Morning everyone.
Sorry I've been awol for a few days, the last couple of weeks of stress an headaches finally came to blows with a splitting migraine on Wednesday for three days.
Feeling LOADS better now though and have the weekend off so determined to crack on towards my goal of moving 200 miles down the road. :j
Determined, thanks for starting the thread, enjoy the first of your days off!
KJP and Ixia, enjoy your nights out and let your hair down.
Welcome to Arctic Sky.
Starnac, have a lovely day
Hellos to everyone and hugs to anyone who needs one.
Todays list:
Washing machine is on, will dry on airer later as it's piddling down.
Scrub out back yard after the pooches. (Can do this in the rain!)
Go and visit a friend at her house for coffee and a natter (will take her a HM plum crumble in exchange for coffee). Saves meeting up town in a cafe.
Dogs for a decent walk later (poor things have had a quick drag round the block fror the last few days) Fresh air will do me good too.
College work. MUST this weekend, only 5 units of written work and 1 assessment to do then I can get signed off this diploma which leaves me free (and qualified) to look for another job!
Get listing on Ebay, what doesn't sell after 2 listings is going to charity shop.:p
Happy weekend everyone. :j0 -
Starnac - happy anniversary
Artic Sky - Welcome to the thread
Determined - goodness, you're busy!

Morning (just!) all
This morning I went to the library (still there now) so that I can do some family history research without having to pay for a subscription! (Saved myself money there!)
I've checked the bank and know how much is there and in my purse. I have £10 to put petrol in my car and that's all I plan on spending today.
I plan on spending some time today working on my apprenticeship homework - busy fingers means no time to go out spending... and I'm going to have a clear out of my room and see if there's anything I can make money on.
All in all it will def be a weekend of being a DFW for me because normally on my weekends off I geta takeaway I go to the cinema and just generally spend what I can't afford.
This weekend my biggest DFW thing that I'm doing will be to teach myself to be disciplined with my money whilst enjoying the satisfaction of succeeding at it!DEBT TOTAL: £7609.440 -
