    Join the club Kerri on the weather and payday front, wish I could move my desk outside!

    Ahh rubbish Jem, hate it when that happens, get all geared up and then it doesn't happen!

    I was treated to a pub lunch with 2 friends from work, very sweet of him... my BF doesn't even break for lunch, gone are the days when we used to meet for a quick drink! Work pub quiz tomorrow, quite looking forward to it! xxx
    Life is too short not to love what you do.

    Oh pants Jemma, bet you were raring to get into it too! Good luck for tomorrow.

    Well, it's the 15th and I finally get to pay off the grand sum of . . . £82.49!! Go me! :j Got a refund of £33.73 from bt so added some extra to bring my debt down to a nice round £4400.

    So I'm at £1709.94/£6109.94

    Keep going everyone!:)

  • My officemate has had the window open, I know the sun is lovely and it's on his back but it's not quite that nice yet! Ah well he's gone home now so window is promptly shut again.

    A report I didn't want to write is written, I have a video call with the team in the US in ten minutes, OH is texting me about moving stuff, looks like we have to move him first thing in the morning, make sure the bed is set up and then move me whilst he unpacks before he heads off to work at 5pm until 11pm. At least he's off work the next day so we can get lots more unpacking done, only want to hire the van for one day really and was hoping for an Ikea trip to pick up a folding dining table with chairs that fit in it for space saving, I'm sure we can manage that :) Even if it's me and my brother after OH has gone to work.

    There was mention of this thing called fog, but I was in bed whilst it happened I think :p

    I used to get paid on the 25th or the Friday before if it fell on a weekend, so it feels like I'm waiting a week longer :( I'm getting expenses paid back weekly though, so that's something :) and hopefully I won't notice wages soon as I'll be sticking to my strict diet of £50 a week spending money plus work petrol money.

    Hi I'm feeling alot more postive today (screw the council). I think because the sun is shining, I treated myself to chocolate eclairs :oand Breaking Dawn DVD :o but I'm hoping to save £1500 and move out into a private rented house in July.
    It is going to mean I'm going to not up the amounts on the Tax Credit overpayments like I originally planned but me and the kids will feel so much more happier then. £10 and £20 a month each is what they asked for that's all they will get :D
    Anyway to update:

    Debt update -crap really. Have had to get the kids some new clothes as they'd outgrown everything and as had no spare cash, had to use Next book. :mad: Am REALLY cross with myself, but it's done now so I have to move on.

    On the upside though, my weight loss is now:
    #049 14/42 :j:j:j I've lost a stone! Woohoo!

    Edit: debt update anyway, #049 2545.57/10,000 25.45%


    :T:T:T Congratulations on your stone hun! xxx
