  • Just wanted to say I am still working through my list but I am really happy because I have done the two base coats of primer on painting the wall today, I feel like this is huge for me as the landlady was taking too long to sort it so i took matters into my own hands and feel much better already :-)

    Thats great :) well done you!!!

    Quite often its worth saying to the landlord/lady if they pay for the paint you will do the work - saves a lot of hassle for both of you and most are happy to save a few quid too ;)

    Right, here is my list for the day:

    -Call Dad and see if new card has arrived-DONE
    -Call CSL about stupid stupid 3 farce :rotfl:
    -email gym back about class-DONE
    -email Beacon with details about proposed classes
    -finish tidying dining room table
    -make extra payment to wareh*use debt-DONE but chose another debt instead.

    I did my balance transfer :T, I found that I could do it online!! :j no more interest on one debt until 2014 when it will have been paid off by :D

    That will do for now as I have less than an hour to do all that in :D
    I may add more later. See you all :money:

    I think I need to come back. I'm drowning in a deep well of procrastination!!! And some of it is money that I just need to claim and sort out and I'm just not getting on with it!! Getting very annoyed with myself at my lack of motivation!

    Sligo, welcome back. I am SUCH a bad procrastinator, I still need to finish my letter to HSBC about charges, that could get me £500 back!! we should spur each other on :rotfl:

  • Hi all,
    Mine are:

    Pick up my package from post office - done! Was my love to shop Christmas savings vouchers

    Post eBay sale (Nintendo ds) - done! Postage was £3.15 but I had charged £5 so made a bit on that as well :-)

    Upload some more bits to eBay - done! 5 things uploaded now :-)

    Tidy house up

    Do the ironing

    Call orange up and find out when I am out of contract - done. Out of contact August 2013 and will cost me £287.41 to get out of it now.

    Finish off 2013 budget planning and make sure I am happy with it - done! Checked it but not happy about it lol ha ha ha

    Get nails done - I have bitten them all down due to stress so this will be done this once only the once they have grown I shall go back to doing them myself... PROMISE! - done! That's the last time I am spending £25 on them though! No more biting due to stress

    Send off old phone to mazooma mobile - cant do! I have found the bag that I kept the charger and phone in... Without the phone! Now I am hoping that its just fallen out (even though it was nearly fully sealed) and not that a family member who has pawned stuff of mine in the past has taken it. Will keep you posted.

    Hang washing out - done
