Aria`s_Tail

Morning (just) everyone.
Great to see you back Josie, Em586, we're moving too in the next couple of weeks, 200 miles down the road. Got the keys on Friday, previous tennents have left it a bit of a tip so landlord is giving us a rent free period to clean up and decorate.:D No kids to sort but 2 dogs.
I drove back up north last night, need to start sorting this house in earnest this week (and I have stack loads of furniture and stuff stored at parents that they want gone asap.) Going back down to new house on Sat as have a few day's work up here this week.
So today we have had a nice lie in and a leisurely breakfast.
Washing machine is on, will dry on airer.
To do.
Deep clean bathroom (then it will just swipe clean before we leave)
Pack up most of our bedroom and dismantle large bookcase, will take it with me on Sat (I love my estate car).
Srub out back yard.
Take pooches for a long walk this afternoon.
All meals from stores (need to empty freezers!) Sausages and something for tea, chicken defrosting for tomorrow.
Check for surveys.
Declutter, big style!

Have a great Sunday everyone.

Hello, can I join with you?

I have got debts down from 18K 4 or so years ago doing all the "big" things, now I really want to get rid of the rest this year.

this weekend
boil kettle once a day and keep in flask for tea/coffee/cooking (I always do this aanyway now).
hung out 2 loads of washing to dry (it's taking each load a whole day to dry, cold and still day, but every little helps etc).
nectar and lotto searches done.
going to try and list some stuff on ebay tonight.
friend came over last night and instead of hiring a film and having a takeaway we made pizzas and played dance games on the wii.


I'ved stopped getting surveys through from valued opinions since I turned 40 (honestly it's gone from 1-2 a day to 1 a week, which I get thrown out of as soon as I put my age). Is there a list of other survey sites somewhere?

Hello everyone,

Hope you're all well, I didn't post yesterday as I would have felt a bit of a fraud as I don't feel as though I've done a whole lot, motivation just wasn't there! I felt the need to be lazy, very lazy lol.

We have booked our honeymoon though, I am soooo excited! Just wish the cashback would hurry up & track already, I could really use it...

Thanks for starting us Josie, well done on all your achievements since we last "saw" you!
Ziggy - Well done for having the courage to go to the doctor, if you need a chat/rant/virtual hug you know how to get in touch!
DNMS - Hope you manage to get your sewing machine sorted out, if not at least paypal tends to vote in the buyers favour these days!

I haven't posted on here for a very long time, and I'm always a bit on and off with it but new challenges are ahead!

I only have one thing on my list today.. Sort my life out!

Need to come up with a plan. I am aiming at moving away to uni at the end of this summer (mature student), with my expensive boyfriend in tow..

My debt is pretty much gone, just the overdraft and a bit more on 1 credit card (which has been cut up), he has 11k ish and with his payments we can just about survive... I won't move until I'm sure that we can afford it though so today I need to do lots of planning... which is why I'm back on here!

Hi everybody!! Hope everyone has achieved their lists!

Hi all

So sorry - I'm really struggling keeping up with the posts, full time work, flylady, os. mse etc etc. I LOVE it - still really motivated but not finding much time to get on and post.
Have had a pretty good weekend
- checked bank accounts
-checked paypal account
- all meals from stores, plus a load of batch cooking so I'm not wasting food
- flylady me
- washing hung out or on airer to dry
- got a load of cheap meat from my friend who is a butcher
- went onto web and chose cheapest supermarket to do my shopping
Can't think of much else to report but I know I haven't stopped.

What would happen if you mis-typed your age? NOw you've mentioned it, I can't remember even having any invies from VO for forever...off to investigate that!

I did my weekly shop at Aldi for the first time today...saved loads but then with this new (to me) meal planning, I'm not buying half the carp I was anyway

missrlr

Right:
managed for second week running to get weekly shop to below £45!
Did not go out for dinner / takeaway
walked dog and 2 extra gym classes (maxing out that gym membership!)
sorted garage (didn't find any Evilbay goodies sadly)
3 lots of washing dried indoors on airer
Confirmed with pet insurance cheque on way next week! Yippee
sorted cashflow checked bank accounts and spreadsheet
paid in DH cheques
sorted the surprise for Valentine's - going to take a few weeks so need to plan ahead.
realised that I have to go to dentist Wednesday so sadly not going to make it an NSW.

Writing this down is very therapeutic - makes me confirm the achievements not just slogged down this road!
