Congrats on the fleabay sales
I've not had a tumbly wumbly since I moved out of my parents place. I put all my clothes on airers in my flat with the window open normally. Although I love the smell of line dried clothes, they just smell of the sun so can't wait to do this again when I move next weekend.
Nice one on the mobiles, that reminds me I must post mine tomorrow.
Keep going

Cherryjack

Thank you :-D xx i am amazed lol.. the used newlook top is now upto £20.00 are these people mad????? its more than i paid for it haha result!! its got 5 hours to go.. madness i hope they pay hehe...
You know what i feel more organised without the tumble dryer.. and i think i will appreciate the clean dry clothes more plus it looks after them better avoiding the tumble dryer.. and well if im getting 20 pound a top im all happy for that ... do i need to leave the window open to stop damp? sorry am so clueless, i can cook tho!
Mobiles are fab..i want to collect them from people and put them on there!!

I can't cook so you're one up on me. I only have a bedroom in our shared flat, so I normally air my room to stop the damp smell. Although my Mum leaves hers up in the dining room and it's not a problem, they do leave the backdoor open all year round though. Hmm... maybe put the window on the catch whilst drying, I always think "well where is the water going otherwise"?

£20 a top, that's sheer madness. Oh well if you can get away with it, then why on earth not

Cherryjack

hehe..ive left the small kitchen window open so hopefully that will solve things


Not had a good night.. the extra overtime money OH got paid last week was just a dream!! Gutted.. The boss of his company called him up saying he had been over paid and they want it back, either by cheque or they will take it out of decembers money... its left a sad spot in me.. and OH is not happy (hes still at work bless him)..

Just when you think eh....

(the advice take from cccs) oh why did i ever get into this.. im going to send a recorded delivery letter along with an email. (DONE) ahhh what a relief... email sent and 2 letters to both address's i have for them..

wish me luck :eek:

:eek::eek: The spends update...

so xmas present budget went over by £36.92... Yelp... but thats the end of the shopping now and i was going to have another budget on the 15th December but think i have enough presents to cover things.

Food Budget went over by £6.91...i still have a fortnight to go but have absolutely packed out cuboards.. im still quite proud of this as its the first time ive ever done a budget.. will look to improve tho..

The extras i did not account for

Mcdonalds at the weekend £12.57:whistle: no excuse!
OH's Dentist.. £17.00 he hasnt been for years bless him -cus we have always been so skint.. thankfully a full set of perfect teeth :T
Parking fees £1.00 not bad

Cash Point withdrawl £20.00... some used for sons hair cut and the rest in postage costs for ebay.

Nieces Birthday present £14.49-forgot about this.. but got a great online deal and it included postage and got some cashback

OVC £10.82- before i started MSE i had got yankee candles on a 3 month payment option.. have used one of the sets as a xmas present.. wont be doing anything like that again... ive sorted my cuboards out and i have lots of smelly candles to keep me going for years! ive stored them all together so i can see what i have.


so thats it so far...........

On the plus side in credit at bank with no fear of going overdrawn

ebay sales now stand at £94.52- postage:j:j:T
Sales for selling old mobile phones £51.00

Thats all for now.. definetly room for improvement.. and need to stay on the straight and narrow for the next 2 weeks:snow_laug:xmassmile

Bad news OH got over paid from work!! grr the tango was waisted lol.. they are getting back to him on figures and it will be deducted out of Decembers wages.. the joys!

Cherryjack

I think santa will skip my house this year!! ive had another booboo... whilst on the high of MSE and being on maternity leave, i have called my OH numerous times ( stalking style) to tell him of my updates lol.. and my bill came thru:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

£96.64

its normally only £40.00 ish...

Lula-Hula

Hiya Cherry,

you're doing well - such a shame about the wages overpayment though.

Use texts to update your OH, agree to only call once a day & for a set time only, nice work on ebay & mobile sales
xx

Cherryjack

Thanks Lula :-) xx
OH has a pay as you go with no credit on most months. I contacted 02 and they can add him on for £7.50 bolt on for unlimited calls and texts.. it includes him calling me aswell.. he can ring til his hearts content lol.. which will be handy when i have my c-section next month. Just a month notice needed to cancel this.. i thought we would keep it running just for a year while im on maternity leave and then cancel when i go back to work full time. That way most of my minutes will be left.:T
Lots more on ebay in the last push before xmas.. think that will be my last lot now as you just dont know whats gunna happen with the snow and ive got plenty of xmas present wrapping to be getting on with:xmassmile

Not touched our money in days so the NSD's are going well..:j
Still loads of food in the cuboards..
Not upto much this week.. sons xmas play tommorow will need a pound or so for a photo..
then next saturday afternoon tea with my friend.. already paid for..
OH and son will be having lunch

Sunday we are off to see Arthur:rudolf:.. have tesco clubcard vouchers for these ( will need to pay a little more for 3d)
We have a harvester 20 voucher for some nice lunch... so will try to keep spends as low as possible whilst having fun
