Tigz's Debt Diary.......start work on the 23rd!

tigzem

My chq for my 1 days holiday owing from my last employer arrived today = £36 so that's going towards npower. Grand total of £79 so far, but I have £50 stashed away so actually got £129...yay!! Only 7 days in and not started ebaying yet.

I did spend £4 on 2 Glamour mags for the lip gloss, really pleased with them. I'll take one of the mags in for the girls at work to read.

Not much to update with really, had lovely w/end, did end up spending more money than I'd planned yest, we went on a bike ride with some friends to a pub in the forest, OH didn't bring any money... convenient!! lol But it was a lovely afty and they invited us back to theirs for a BBQ afterwards, so I spent the last of my money on some beers to take over there. Oh well... OH has said he'll give me some back.

Planning a lazy night tonight, OH is at his watching footy as I didn't want to watch it so will catch up with my programmes and chill out.

Oh and I've been searching the house for things to sell on ebay and I can't find anything that is worth anything, will keep hunting.

Oh... and I've decided to try cycling to work on the days my Mum can collect DD from nursery, which will save petrol and get me fit!!

Great idea about the cycling Tigz - how far is it to work?

I'm not sure, it's not far to my work. But it's further to take DD to nursery....and in the opposite direction!!! Thinking of changing nurseries but doubt will get her in now til Sept.

tigzem

My tax credits & CB went in today, after nursery fees are paid, I'll have £100 left over so I think I'll put £20 towards npower, £20 for food, £20 for debt and £40 for anything else that may crop up......

Hmmm I seem to have spent quite a bit but I'm not sure on what... i need to get focused again!!

Had a good day today, cycled down to the town, paid in a cheque and had a look at bikes. Then we came home for lunch and a sleep and then popped to Halfords to look at bikes again, on the way home I stopped off so DD could look at trains, we were on a bridge and the 2 trains we saw, both the drivers waved, DD was made up.

I'm currently looking for a new bike, I want to cycle to work, which will get me fit, save money on petrol and be greener! BUT I need a new bike, my bike is ancient, the gears don't work and I only have one brake. Ok I could get it fixed but I'd love one with suspension, OH said he'll put towards it for my birthday and so has my Mum. I've seen 2 I really like, but can't decide!! lol

Oh and I can't still put smilies into my messages... it's soooo annoying!!

tigzem

Hmmmm I can c&p the smilies onto here... weird!!

Why can't I just click on them?? It's annoying!!!
