  • Morning world,

    Hi Sashybo – Thanks for visiting me, we are the same with the groceries and I think that this is one area I need to look at reducing over the next few months.

    Hi Hidden – I need to try harder with the NSD’s, but not going to bad so far.

    Hi Pinot – Keep going with the NSD’s :)

    Not a lot to report at the moment, I’ve finally finished my TA course and sent off my final assignment yesterday…just a waiting game now to see whether I have passed or not. It does mean that I can concentrate on my Level 2 maths and try and pass that over the next few months, I can also look for a job once I know if I’ve passed or not.

    Have checked the CC and am pleased that nothing else has been added on, just waiting to find out how much they want this month then I can figure out how much I can add on top of that to reduce it a bit.

    I’m a failure too – I caved in on the drinking…I managed Monday and Tuesday but had a drink last night, I have a slight headache this morning so not happy.

    On the upside, we still have money in the account so that’s a good thing, just need to improve and keep plodding on next month.

    DH gets paid tomorrow and we have the shopping coming tomorrow too :D

    Have a good day everyone x
  • Have a good day :) x
  • Happy Saturday everyone,

    Had a bad couple of days, spent and spent…felt good at the time but feel bad now, next week will be better I will not slip into my old ways again.

    On the debt side of things, I have checked the credit card and it has gone up but it is only interest charged, nothing else has been added to it so that is a good thing, they wanted £124 but got £150 instead :D and if we have any money left in the account at the end of the month I will hopefully add to this amount and reduce it some more.

    DH was paid yesterday :) so I’m keeping an eye on what comes out of the account.

    Shopping was delivered yesterday, once the vouchers had come off the total bill was £73 :D I like months like this lol I did an inventory of what we have lurking about in the freezer and cupboards and now I’m armed with my list I’m aiming to meal plan around it.

    Had a rant at DH yesterday, told him I feel like a failure because I can’t work, look after the house and study at the same time, poor thing he does help bless him and it was unfair of me. I told him I’m not sure I can pass the maths or that I will even pass the TA course…he said I will pass and not to be silly…I think it’s hormones.

    So on to this weekend, it looks like this so far:
    Washing
    Climbing
    DS’s Bouldering Competition at Alton
    Maths mini test to complete
    Meal plan

    My week so far looks like this:
    Work
    Maths again
    As many NSD’s as possible to catch up with this week
    Avoiding Tesco’s
    Volunteer job

    Have a good weekend everyone if I don’t get chance to update. xx
