    Evening :D

    Back to work today :T small headache but nothing I can't deal with. Another NSD today, I'm getting good at these.

    Still chatting with Mr IT, no real news to report, but some nice banter and getting to know you chat.

    I'm surprise at how easy I'm finding the NSD's and the general knowledge that I can't go spending. I'm actually enjoying it and some how feel freer than I have in ages :D

    I've started on my friends b'day present which will be completely homemade and at the moment I'm not going to need to buy anything for it :money:

    So basically I'm feeling good today :D

  • Morning

    CC statement through today :( and I apparently made a complete mess of the new year bank hols and my payment was a day late going in :mad: so I have a £12 charge extra to pay this month :mad::( Oh poo it. Oh well, at least I don't have it with me any more. And I intend to earn that back from EBay.

    Still I am not going to let that get me down... I have Mr IT news :D we were talking last night, and I really fancied a pub night, not that I can afford to drink but hey, the coke and the atmosphere would have been nice :cool:. But none of my friends were available to play :(. He said that unfortunately he already had plans otherwise he would have taken me out for a drink :D:D;), so (and get me!) I said we should do it another night and he said YES :eek::T:j:D. Not sure when yet, but apparently he's really looking forward to it :T.

    I promise to keep you posted.

    OK, jobs for today:

    Laundry (done 1 load already)
    Get some shopping for Mr L (;)) taking money from Mum
    Clean the bathroom
    Continue with friends b'day present.

    I think that will do, it is the weekend after all.

    I know the mess with the CC will make it a harder month, but I am determind not to let it ruin my mood!

    Hi

    Mid afternoon update:

    Laundry (done 1 load already)
    [STRIKE]Get some shopping from Mr L (;)) taking money from Mum
    [/STRIKE]Clean the bathroom
    Continue with friends b'day present.

    :rotfl:

    I got side tracked getting out stuff to Ebay.... however I did from some green curtains which I might put up in my bedroom rather than Ebay them :o I've always wanted some that colour, but could never afford to buy new ones.

    But I am going to clean the bathroom in a bit ;)

    Evening

    Feeling a little pants this evening, I guess the mess up with my cc is playing on my mind :o. But there is nothing I can do about it, so tough... Pea you are just going to have to deal with it!!!

    Most jobs done today, house looks like a chinese laundry :D I hate having to dry clothes indoors, it always seems to take forever.

    Ok so tomorrow is EBAY DAY :T I think they best way to deal with the pantiness (new word :D) is to keep busy and try and earn some extra cash.

    Once I've finished doing my friends B'day present and a few other things I've got going, I'm going to post some pic's. I'd love to know what you guys thing and whether they are good enough for me to try and earn something with them

    ok.... Pea is happy, Pea is happy :p

  • Oh forgot a few things:

    I lost 2lb this week, so 3 in total :T slowly and steadily it will come off. I think it helps not having any lovely, yummy chocolate in the house :cool: I'm also trying to keep myself busy so I don't snack.

    I have listed the few things I currently have on Ebay and I already have 2 watchers :D so hopefully I'll get a couple of bidders, but it's a long way to go.

    hello pea, thought i should come and find you after you came and popped by my diary.
    i also had a mix up this month with my credit card and went over by 67p, which has cost me £12. I did a transfer but even a faster payment between two halifax accounts apparently doesn't show up in the promised 2 hours grrrrrr! i hate being so stupid.

    well done on the progress you've made with your weight loss and with Mr IT, hope you get a proper date and it's everything you've dreamed of.
