CHALLENGE

This Thread is way too quiet time people to
update successes, failures ,plans, ideas, life .

I'll start

Success -managed to secure 12 extra permanent hours

Failure- always talk about listing items to sell rubbish at it have a
huge cupboard full of junk

Plan -newer car needs must however rest of new wage goes to debt busting.List all the junk on ebay to get rid might get enough for holiday spends

Ideas- going to split our money into seperate bank accounts one for bills one for living ,reading the frugal board regularly.


life- well lots of changes due to new hours hopefully a slimmer me wont have time to sit on laptop /eating junk lol so going to do a timetable type thing for myself and rejoin the flylady thread as house was definately decluttering ,its on the slide again

hope this post motivates the readers into moving , grooving and posting .x

Elly I have one daughter leaving school this year Well done on the extra job.

Success - Got the sessional teaching job - start Sept

FAILURE- Giving notice in tomorrow, can't afford to but with the pressure of work, bullying tactics, lazy manager and others in the office that moan all the time, time to go before I have a nervous breakdown.

PLAN - Expand my little ebay shop and get rid of the carp that's taking over the house. Maybe look at a website of my own.

IDEAS- Meal plan, cancel sky soon when we get a freeview recorder box think (like sky plus).


LIFE - Walk a mile everyday, get thinner, get my sewing machine out and alter, make my own clothes, chill out more, don't worry about things that I can't control or do anything about. See more of family and relax.

I think that even if the money is much tighter because you have given up this joh you will be happier for it. It sounds awful.

Good luck with the ebay shop and all your other plans - some good ideas there.

Well this months total £610 is quite good - not quite up to my £1000 a month average so will have to try and do a bit extra next month to get back on track. Unfortunately need to spend a chunk of it on a new washing machine - current one is on its last legs.

Running out of ideas a bit - need to get my thinking cap on.

Elly - hope DD is ok.
