Thanks L for popping by. Yes it is, but calm at the moment too..

How are you?

Planning to pop in a short run too. Sun is shining and I need to start exercising again

And...just heard OH has received a cheque for some overtime last month. Think I will put the lot against the new CC debt. Will schedule for next month when it comes through :j

Just catching up with your diary and I see you've been busy as usual. Reading your diary always makes me want to "do" - you're a good influence on me

- have listed some items on EBay. What do people think about posting overseas? Maybe I will just get a RM price, but I am always nervous.

I sell loads overseas - sometimes most of my sales are abroad. I always put postal prices in the listing - it's easy as RM only have 3 postage bands for overseas sales. If it's worth less than £20 you can claim for any losses with RM with a standard proof of posting. Any more than that I either send RM tracked or courier.

You can block any country you are not comfortable sending to. The only country I block as standard is Russia, I've had too many problems there.

Thanks hon. Good to know.

Managed to do some of my list on Sunday-

- did a run :j :j Took DD2 as my pace setter and she was amazing - especially up the hills

- meal planned for the week
- checked euro stash which will be fine
- decluttered a black bag full of stuff to CS/bin
- had yummy chicken dinner with left over bits for risotto tomorrow and made the cake - not sure there will be any left when I get home this eve.
- got a bid on an item

This working week has been full on but a NSD yesterday and
managed (just about) a fast day on Monday.

Hi brizzle - started reading The Recovering Spender. Something she wrote resonated with me:

"My spending was not a reflection of my value system. I valued family, growing old together, education, safety, my faith, and togetherness. If you looked at my checking account, you would be fooled into thinking I really valued eating out for dinner, shopping, entertainment, housing, cars, and random “stuff.”

How true - apart from the cars that checking account was mine!

I know.. there are some nuggets in it that's for sure. Glad it's useful. Some is a bit too obvious.. but we are all on a journey and I guess she now makes a living taking people right back to the beginning.

Thanks for sharing. Am so tired can hardly think so nice to get your message whilst on work train

Ah! The work train - I know that feeling well!:)

Earlier this eve

Quieter and differently paced day tomorrow. Much needed.

Some good news- TCB heading for a great payout. I have also received 2 x £50 John Lewis vouchers for complaining about substandard service - which made me feel much better :j I haven't decided yet what to use them for but probably Xmas presents?

Would have been a NSD today but DD2 popped out to get some pasta so that's snookered that. TTs done and money for THEM squirrelled away

Hope everyone good

Xx

Well done on the complaining. I think you should keep 90% for presents and 10% for a little treat of your own

Liking that DIA.. thank you for that
