Hi everyone,

I popped in a few months ago with all good intentions to stay and achieve! One thing led to another and I went Awol but managed to update diary when possible.

There is so much I need to do and should do and with a high amount of debt lingering, and a very cluttered house, I want to change and make the most of everyday.

I am very lost and nervous but am hoping 2012 is a different year.

So here goes for the list:

- List few items on ebay! (I have just had my limit increased so am a little excited and will be listing as much as I can)
- meals from stores
- I want to go to the poundshop but it will a very limited spend and on things which will be money saving in the end! (they have their gardening bits in and am looking to set up my own veg and fruit pots)
- small amount of ironing (to keep on top of it and save me from a)spending hours ironing and b) keep areas decluttered so can see what I can sell)
- keep heating down
- check for surveys
- free bingo to work towards amazon or Mr T vouchers
- Freecycle - see if anyone is giving away storage for garden and house

I think thats ok for now, lets see how much I do, its a new me!

Have a lovely day!

Hi L&N :hello: good to see you again & welcome back! Good luck with your list today. Remember baby steps and you'll get there x

Hi everyone and a big Hi to L&N,
Hope you are enjoying being a lady of leisure Determined.
At work today up in Cumbria, not a NSD as needed petrol (was on red, wouldn't have got me around my shift).
Todays list:
Have put WM on, will hang on airer after my lunch calls.
Not spend any more money after the full tank of fuel!
Pack some more of house up.
All meals from stores (getting some odd combinations from the bottom of the freezer now!)
Try and keep fire off during breaks.
Might have an afternoon nap (way too much on at the moment, i'm shattered)

Not a great list but every little helps!

:hello:

Here's me:


Found out that my fighting fish loves a cooked, mushed up pea - cheapo tastic :cool:

Re-used an envelope

Re-worked out my 'pocket money' budget…

Using a new spending diary app - that Lemon one I tried was a bit buggy - with this one you set your budget and as you spend it counts up and down, telling you how much you have left.

Got in touch with photo booth peeps about a £5 refund :T

Checked refund - hasn't yet gone in - £15.00 shortly coming back to me

Bought a £9 weekly ticket for the bus - can use it at the weekend too when taxi fares used to cost me £10 :T Result
Catch up tomorrow!!
