Hi brizzle,

Thank you for the words of encouragement on my thread I thought i'd pop in and see how you are doing and your sig is looking fab :j:T

It is really good that you and mr brizzle can discuss finances and are on the same page with money goals Hope the chat this week goes well too

I have had the heating on for half an hour here and there - i did try and hold off as far as possible but when all of you is covered up with jumpers and thermals and a fleece and you are still cold there isn't much choice :eek: Of course we haven't got any carpet or skirting boards and won't have until next year now plus the windows are very old and draughty and need replacing so that will explain a lot of it

Good luck on more sales too x

Thanks for popping in SA and DDFW...it is turning autumnal isn't it? I am afraid the heating is on for a bit as it dries the acres of washing and make me feel chirpier.

Am doing chores..like sorting finance stuff this morning and planning to make fish pie and apple pies this afternoon..

OH has also been paid his OT so more money off the debts - WHOOP and around £40 in ebay sales so far..most of them end today.. DOUBLE WHOOP

Update:

Just updated sig. Still coming down nicely BM on so more bread on the way..

You are doing so well Mrs B I think you will make your target. It's funny how much stuff you can find to ebay isn't it? You'd think you'd run out sooner or later, but something else just turns up. When I am debt free I am going to follow the rule of something in the house, something out, might keep the clutter down....

Just catching up signature's looking fab! I've held off on the heating so far, only DH was moaning about the cold and he's gone away now till December so I won't need to hear about how stingy I am anymore xx

Thanks for stopping by folks. All good here..but exhausted. Just grabbing 10minutes in between work. Been a v v long day. Looking forward to my bed already:)

Still trying to work out more ways to cut down the spends. We have another 7 items loaded onto EBay ( yes Piq I agree, this was from the loft, Xmas presents that never got used..one of them made £28 yest!!) and we have one more large item that needs to be listed. A camping items that has only been used 3 times in its life so have agreed it's better off as cash towards the debts.

Off meal planner today so using up a spag bol stash from the freezer! No cooking. Bliss.

No heating as it's so warm YAY!! What rain though...loads of it!

Hi folks

Today so far:

- posted EBay parcels and moved money (£66 after fees etc) into my account
- done the TTs
- nice to see Mrs Tilly's comment on her diary..it made me feel very happy...yes I WILL be a MFW in January!
- tea tonight is leftovers from Monday - yummy Fish Pie and salad (no veggies until my box delivery tomorrow so making do)
- headache - exhausted and stressed from work and this other part time job I have - being a Mum and MSE takes a lot of time and energy and um..focus is the word I am looking for. Full on.

Back to the grindstone..

Do you ever go to bed with your brain whirring? I do. Often. I also seem to be staying up late, think it's an attempt to claw back some me time as the Goslings dictate the day. Some days I wonder what the chuff I've achieved. Usually the achievement is making it through the day unscathed!
