Hi All
Not been online for a while. Some of you may remember that I've been going through a marriage break-up, and I havent really been dealing with it very well. Even ended up in hospital at one point. I just dont understand how someone you love can be so devious and deceitful.
Hope everyone is ok, and I havent missed out on too much. I'll try and read the recent threads to find out what everyone has been up to. DNMS, hope you have a great holiday. I'm sooooo jealous
Anyway, been working away for the past couple of days, but will be back home tonight.
Today I have:
Raided my hotel room of toiletries, tea and coffee
Lunch on expenses
Read Martin's e-mail
Booked a cheap travelodge for a Halloween event that I'm taking the DSs to. Didnt get a £12 one, but got one for £19.50 which I was quite happy with
Charged phones at work
Checked online banking
Made small payments to a couple of credit cardsDebt free since December 2015. It can be done0 -
Good afternoon everyone. I am back after a day off yesterday. Yesterday was a nightmare, the water board workmen dug through a pipe which led to me having no water and no bottle made up for dd. It took them about 3 hours to give me some bottled water. After this start to the day I decided that I really needed some time to myself with just dd, therefore I done nothing apart from looking after the kids.
This morning I have:- Made packed lunches for ds and dh
- Completed surveys and daily clicks
- Bathed dd and had a quick shower
- Took ds to school
- Raised due invoices
- Phoned my mum regarding her visit next week
- Breakfast and lunch from stores
- Caught up with posts from Tuesday and Wednesday
- Do required work for client done
- Do some networking with fb page done
- Do some of the knitting project done
- Collect ds from school done
- Make bottles done
- Dinner from stores (pasta salad) done
- Do some of the washing done
- Sort shirt for ds to wear tomorrow for school done
- Schedule new work in diary done
- Do some of the ironing pile

Just one last update for today which I was VERY proud of...
OH asked me how I was going to pay my mum £75 that I owe her and suggested moving funds from my halifax CC to my egg CC then doing a balance transfer... Before my LBM and the days of MSE, I would've done this without hesitation, but I told him no and started to think of other ways I could raise the money to give to my mum... He thought I was being stubborn, I told him I was being sensible
OH is usually very frugal too and is really good with money so his suggestion shocked me slightly! £75 might not seem like a lot when you consider I'm already in debt, but it's £75 more on my credit cards that will be incurring interest that isn't necessary!LBM #2 - 6/09/2011[ Barclays Loan - £1,500 ]...[ Barclays OD - £750] ...
