:mad: This is me this morning, done hoss, asked OH if skip arrived, no, so called to chase they hadnt had it booked in, I !!!!!!! did even mentioned about lady asking her dad for prices, she couldnt get out of that one, so can you do a skip today, yes she says, £340 :eek:, I was quoted £180, so told them to stick it :mad: So came home arguement with OH who says wasting money on skip, parents paying for most, I manage to get another skip £235 and OH drives of to B&Q to buy more useless tat :mad: and he moans at me for getting a skip to clear garden, angry just doesnt even cover it.

Mum coming round shortly with sledge hammer to take down brick walls so that will be a great stress buster :cool:

Oh dear, :eek: I hope for your OHs sake that he doesn't spend too much on tat or that your mum has removed the sledge hammer from your hands before he gets home. They just don't get it do they?

Hope you have a good rest of the day

Morning, thanks he only spent just under £10 so not as bad as could be :cool:

Still tired today but managed to fill the whole skip on Saturday, fill of rocks and the brick wall which was great for anger management by knocking down Nephew came round to help, he is 2 and bought his own wheelbarrow , cant have him slacking :rotfl:

Didnt do much yesterday too tired, did hoss went to Sainsbugs, got half way round, OH bought something from pharmacy and got £9 of £60 shop, already had £8 of £40 shop but couldnt use them together, so stopped the shopping used the £9 voucher, OH dumped in car, then came back in and did the rest of the shop and then used the £8 voucher and a £10 giftcard from survey sites, plus a small voucher for price match so nearly £25 saved nutty way of doing it but worked well.

Today is a NSD, off to friends BBQ this afternoon so need to make some sort of cake soon to take, but doing some boring surveys first. Then may be small get together at yard this evening.

Morning World, nice to only have a 3 day week at work

Another NSD yesterday, did hoss, mum came round helped cut grass and tidy up garden, now have 8 runner bean plants, weeny carrotts look like they are growing and hopefully get a few strawberries too, not bad for a first attempt and not really knowing what I am doing. A lazy afternoon followed on the sofa catching up on V+ recordings, did the hoss in the rain then a relaxing evening.

Back at work today, no spends planned and have lunch with me from home. OH not working today, but will be Thursday and Friday. Left him a few things like organising to get rid of skip and he did hoss this morning

Morning world, see we have had our summer and back to miserable weather.

£31.20 landed from cashback site today, keeping it in current account to minimise overdraft spends. Added up new figures in current account and should only be by the end of the month £500 in overdraft not the full £850 I was expecting I also have £160 odd of expenses to come in, but really need some new boots and undies so will use this money for this.

Signature duly updated too, have put my new total in it from 17 May but payments below slightly decreased from this total so better than it was, still carp though

Hi BB

tis very nice having a 3 day week. Going to watch Bramham Horse Trials this weekend so muchly excited.

How is your youngster doing?

Baldybear

Morning, thanks LAM for dropping by, hope the weather holds up for the horse trials, went to Burghley a few years ago but only for showjumping, love to go watch the cross country, wouldnt do it myself though, tres scary

Horsey is doing really well, bought a new training headcollar for her as she is getting a wee bit strong in standard headcollar and have been resorted to rope around nose for extra control, used it first time last night and it works really well Had a session in outdoor school, walking around showing her new things, stopping, starting etc and was good. Also nearly there with picking up front hooves, one side is good, other is a bit tetchy but getting there. Hopefully get a farrier down soon and he can have a try too and see to her hooves, not desperate but need doing soon ish. Got another IH trainer down next week so hoping to help with the feet and possibly with rugs. Getting there slowly, but seen as she is only just 15 months and never had a youngster before not doing bad at all

Hi BB, just a thought, as you haven't used all of your overdraft what about lowering the limit then you don't have the temptation to use it or pay it all back again. HTH

Morning, Its friday which is great but oh my brain hurts already, just have so many things whizzing around that need to be done at work and at home that just argh, really need to try and get on top of everything somehow but doesnt always seem possible.

Thanks for dropping by Lucielle, really want to reduce the OD limit, may wait until end of July when get first big pay packet back and then reduce then, hopefully going to reduce to £250, that would be £600 of debt temptation.

£20 from paypal landed today so keeping this in to reduce overdraft again. Sofa payment out today so another £30 of the debt total.

Need to get money out for hairdresser and horse trainer next week so must sit down later with OH as probably can use from his account. He's not working next week as doing his HGV training, hopefully he will pass and then can look for permanent work

Must ebay this weekend, lots to do with hoss on saturday to take advantage of nice weather and an ebaying and tidying day at home on Sunday.

Yes, BB as Piq says, what nice weather, exactly where in the world are you as you surely can't be in the rather wet and not so sunny UK. x
