Saving for a new Horse!

Porridge for me too, love it! I've got a loaf in the breadmaker, the smell is divine, no blue bits for me!

Your debts are coming down which is good. I find the diary helps so much, just having to report truthfully what I'm up to keeps me on track.

Piq, I so agree with that statement, having to come on here really keeps me motivated

TFI Friday

£30.16 min payment to 0% card came out today, had budgeted £50 as wasnt sure on payment so the £19.84 has been sent to the interest bearing target card.

Got a bid on one item on ebay, £10 but all helps.

Of out tomorrow to see Rock of Ages with sis, joint birthday present to each other. Tickets already paid for and money budgeted for spends, prob around £25 on trains and £40 ish on a meal out after. Not cheap but only do this rarely so looking forward to it.

Sunday nothing planned just some more ebaying and work to the house.

In honour of the captain picture and inspired by Piqs diary a picture of Baldy when he was a lot younger and looking super smart and super sleek. Is me on board, when I was a wee teenager, eek!

Baldybear

Maybe picture overload but this is one of my favourite pictures of him, sparring with his bessie mate at the riding school just before I bought him, he was probably about 6 in this picture

Piquant_2

Lovely pictures BB! The sparring one is great, not that you'd want to be in the middle...:eek:

I'll see what pictures I can post of the Captain, problem being he's quite distinctive in his markings and he's anonymous like me!

That sounds like a good weekend - enjoy!

Good morning world Love these short weeks.

Loads to do at work, oh joy but at least I am not bored :cool:

Good weekend, saturday went to see Rock of Ages with sister, very cheesy and rude but great fun, takes me back to my youth Then went for a chinese afterwards in chinatown, total spends for day about £45, ticket already paid for, cash already taken out previously so all in budget.

Saturday also went to see some horsies that are near me that I am going to look after for 10 days, starting from tomorrow, owner was advertising via a fb group for some help feeding twice a day, only live 2 mins away so went down and after chatting know a load of joint people. There is 2 mares, one about to drop a foal and 2 yearlings, they are out so just have to feed, hay and check water. So a few early starts for next 3 days but not too bad over the easter break. She is also going to pay me so get my equine fix and get paid :j

Lazy day yesterday just did a few house bits, washing etc. Went to tesco and spent £90 out of £100 grocery budget but freezer and store cupboards rammed and loads of fresh fruit and veg. Still following the meal plan so looking good.

Ebay item sold £10, arranging for courier collection today via work, paid for from work, just deducting from my expenses so saves faffing around which is great. Nothing new put on ebay though so must do next weekend.

£20 paypal money landed from previous ebay sales so that has been sent to target card. Notification received of the other pair of shoes being returned so another £12 refund to come back to the card. All looking good at the moment, just need to keep going

Piquant_2

You're going to enjoy looking after the horses BB! and getting paid too, perfect! You might get a foal too, very jealous....

Morning, early start to feed hosses, totally not used to getting up early, but all fed and happy and into a routine already! No foal yet but we continue waiting, she seems to have a lot of milk so shouldnt be long.

Nothing exciting today, lots of work to be done, lunch bought in from home so will be a NSD. Boring update but keeping me motivated

lucielle

Oohhh good luck with the foaling.

Morning, thanks for dropping by, no foal yet a bit eek as never had to deal with a foal before but a great learning curve, keep asking her to hurry up and drop it, be great if she did over weekend as nothing planned

Money today is good, £12 received back from shoes refund so that was on target card, £30.15 sofa payment out today and overbudget figure of £4.85 sent to target card. Slowly coming down, still over £2k, but so looking forward to it being under that figure, so close yet so far away!

£26 withdrawn from paypal from survey and latest ebay sales so waiting for that to land in the bank. Another ebay item has bid on, only 99p but that ends tonight

Nothing major planned for the weekend, finishing mums fence and playing with ponies, must do some more work to house if I can and I must put some more on ebay, as have been slacking recently
