Saving for a new Horse!

Baldybear

Morning!, late in to work, not good when the MD was there and not expected, nevermind :cool:

Piqu, yep managed to stay in, didnt make it out of pjs all day, actually I did, to have a bath, then to get back into clean pjs for bed

5 ebay items sold, 3 for 99 and 3 for 2.50 and 6ish so not too bad, the big item didnt sell again so am waiting for next free weekend to re-list it. But have had an e-mail from prospective buyer interested in it and could be pick up today, so have bunged it in the car in hope of selling it. If it falls through will just re-list some time. Didnt manage to get any other items on there, was tired, must do next weekend, though still have 5 items on there still so not as bad as could be.

Bit of Xmas turkey used up yesterday so turkey curry and stew made for last night and 4 portions in the freezer, still got some more xmas turkey in the freezer so will have to use that up some time

£10 sent to new CC4, no payment due just want to make sure card is registered ok for future payments so small amount of debt. Work expenses in so this plus extra surplus in current account means payment of £69 to another card, slowly but surely.

Looking at budget, should have around £150 from joint account due to no payment due of council tax plus the odd 5 etc from over budgeting. From current account should have around £25 spare from overbudgeting so this will help.

£8 from survey sites landed so this transferred to cards. Wont be a NSD as got no fuel, so must get some on way home.

Short week only 3 days and then off to OH's mums for a long weekend, cant wait

Isn't that always the way? The only time you're late the overlord turns up!

I can't do a pj day, it doesn't feel right, however, I do slob in baggy revolting tracksuit bottoms and an old (clean) riding top, which is pretty much the same thing!

Have a good day, catch up later

Love nothing better than mooching around the house in my cow print fleecy pjs Like to scare the neighbours ocassionally and go and take rubbish out, if I am feeling really mean add my reindeer slippers too

Ebayer just contacted me and doesnt want the big item now, so take it home tonight, stash it again and wait till next free listing, will sell it somehow!

£75 spent on filling car up last night :eek: Since when did it get so expensive, so over budget, but didnt need hairdresser money this month, so used part of this and remaining £25.25 to cards.

Sofa payment came out and then another £4.85 to cards so a fairly good start to the day.

Last of ebayers paid so 3 parcels to post office today.

Not a NSD as need to pop to shops for a few bits, but should be under a £10.

Quick wave, just to say hello :wave:

Last day at work before long weekend

Woke up with a migraine though, joy

£10 received from cousin for birthday so nice to have a wee bit of spending money without having to worry about budget, only small but helps

Nothing else exciting happening, no watchers or bids on ebay stuff so need to get some more exciting things on there this weekend. Think got £10 in paypal to withdraw so will check that out later. No other money coming in, bills coming out slowly and debts going down slowly, but not at a speed I would like but at least its getting there!

Piquant_2

Is it your birthday BB?

Baldybear

Birthday tomorrow refuse to work on my birthday out of principle so a nice drive down to OH's parents, no OH either as been working away and meeting me there

Piquant_2

I agree with the not working on your birthday principle. Today should be spent planning just how much you're not going to work tomorrow!

Morning World :cool:

So few days away didnt go to plan, managed to get away but didnt do much due to steaming headache which thought was migraine, but with achey muscles and raging temperature too Managed to go out for day on friday which was nice but ended up at out of hours GP early hours sat morning as felt so rough so didnt end up doing anything on saturday, sunday drove home and been off ill for last 2 days as wiped me out. Still got background headache which is just getting really boring now.

Moneywise didnt spend much maybe £25 max over the weekend so that was good, OH bought me a satnav for birthday so slightly more expense than planned but nice to have

£20 landed from paypal today, £8 from surveys and rest from ebay sales so sent to cards. £4.97 from joint account overbudget to cards, £64.02 from my account from money owed from parents and overbudget on charges and phone bill sent to cards.

2 ebay sales over the weekend so ready to be posted today, have not put any new ones on for over 2 weeks now so really must do that this weekend as need to keep those pennies coming in.

OH has interview today with current company so hoping its successful, otherwise redundancy looms at the end of April so keeping everything crossed.
