Pinot's Potty debt free journey!!!

PinotGrigio41

My lists have lapsed this week and along with them I have noticed a considerable reduction in how much I have achieved this .:(

This isnt good for me, I get angry if I havent powered through a thousand things, so today the lists will come back into play hopefully.

I am shattered though, yesterday was a busy day, except for a lovely two hour coffee and chat with a friend in the afternoon. I drank far too much coffee yesterday but I think it got me through the day.

After collecting the girls from school it was full on until we finally walked back in the house at midnight. They had dance class in the evening, I visited my parents and then we got home aout 8pm, ten mins later we were back out of the door as the girls were singing in the pub. DD2 has also been asked to sing now. It was a lovely night but hectic flying around and the girls done us proud ! They had a blast and loved every minute of it. It therefore wasnt a NSD as we bought drinks in the pub, only cokes though as we are being very good at the moment .

I couldnt sleep last night , not sure why . My mind was spinning, about singing lessons, songs, the upcoming festival both girls are playing at, the mortgage and a plan on getting up to speed with it. Th accountant bill and paying off the tax and saving for the next bill due in October. You name it I think I was thinking about it ! DD2 needs trousers, infact she needs a whole new wardrobe. She needs a new riding hat and brace so she cant go to the stables as I cant afford to buy the gear she needs although I am selling her old bits on ebay at the moment so will put what we make towards new things for her. I swear I laid awake until about 6am this morning That wasnt good as I needed to drag the girls up for school. We were up late, 8am :eek:, but they did make it on time.......just !

So....continuing with my day, I will try and get back with a list later, but need to crack on with work now.

Have a lovely Friday x

I actually meant that how I got myself into this mess was my old way of thinking was "working so hard I deserve nice things" when now it is working as hard as possible to pay all our debts and not have to work until we die!

Sorry NL, I know you arent in the camp now !

We just need to blast our way through this debt so we can relax. We will get there x

Pinot, I hope you get through today okay after so little sleep last night.
You have done a lot this week, just look at your old list and cross things off , it makes me feel so much better if I can cross something off.

My night was better as I sneaked into the cottage (it is vacant this week!) and had a long soak in the bath, then an early night. I needed to get away and next door was a quiet retreat.

Dont be a slave to lists (even though I am too) sometimes we need to recharge.

It sounds like a fab night - dont worry things will come together. My husband is finding loads to sell today. I shall be pre preparing ebay listings!

Think I may head for a long soak and good book tonight when I get home from being the Friday night mums bus !

Am I sure your quiet retreat did you the poweer of good Pooh.

Me too thats why I love lists. When there are lovely thick black lines through everything I feel like I have achieved so much, even if its something daft on the list like buy a loaf of bread ! :rotfl:

Hmmm, you love a list as well Skint ! How about I write a list of everything I have done with a tick next to it rather than a list of what I want or need to do ?! That would make a change !

Is it free isting on ebay this weekend do you know, I am determined to list more than the measly two things I did last weekend ?

Listen in all seriousness to a new song DD2 and Friend have made up about a whale to the tune of Emeli Sandes Clown, the problem is that the words very much have a double meaning and is so unintentionally rude, but they have no idea. It is the funniest thing , I am sitting here with tears streaming down my face while they practice at the top of their voices. As a clue, they are singing about a whale with an 18 foot horn. The less said the better ! :rotfl:Check

Righ thats it for now , I will update more later.

I need to go to A3da though as DD2 has no toothpaste or deoderant. They get through the stuff like its going out of fashion. xx
