Hmmm maybe that could be a new title !!!!

Not a restful Sunday here today !! Back to school tomorrow so lots to do today .... Main challenge getting youngest out of bed before midday :rotfl: Wish me the luck for tomorrow !!

Still checking bank everyday - I have £300 to last me the rest of January ... 3 weeks - going to be tight as will need £50 in petrol ... Found a box of 12" vinyl records yesterday so may list those on eBay later and see what happens

Need to get on with the day - lots to do and not enough time to do it

when I was at the height of debt and started getting it under control I cut up all but one card which I kept for emergency use only and only used cash . I'd allow myself £100 per week for food for me n kids, petrol and cigarettes (heavy smoker then) and everything else . petrol to work was £40 pw min and fags £35 :rotfl: didn't leave much over . soon realised fags had to go . or kids .... :rotfl:

Morning Coco,
Not dropped in for a while so have just been catching up .

Hope first day back at school went well . Mine go back tomorrow and like you am dreading trying to get them out of bed, but to be honest I am worrying how I will get out of bed as well !

Hope your Monday goes well x

So ...... The mind is still positive & busy .... My body just can't keep up :rotfl:

Have had awful tummy bug for two days ... Not pleasant , day & a half sick and only been back a week !!! My job are very good though as they know I never take time unless really poorly. Had to cancel CAB appt which am v annoyed about but could not face the thought of being sat there with a bucket "just in case" !!!
So will have to rearrange it.

Rounding bank daily has netted me about £16 in about two weeks :T
Still checking every day so I know exactly where I am. Youngest has been pretty good this week bless him (they are always quietly helpful when they know I am not well) so not too bad a week all in all.

Quiet weekend planned as feeling wiped and no money anyway .... But that's ok as lots of pottering to do. The pile of paperwork to shred is monumental again !!!

Hope everyone is well.

Welcome to diaryland!

Hope you're feeling better now coco? I've had the flu thing for almost a month. Every time I thought I was over it, bam! it knocked me for 6 again. Only really started feeling OK today. I would prefer it to the sickness bug any day though.

I'm another fan of the sainsbugs 27p teabags. I even go in there specially to get them (but have to mega-disciplined not to pick up too much of their other stuff).

Well I have been a bit rubbish this week !! I have kind run out of enthusiasm a bit ... January blues I think

Still feeling a bit yuk which my explain my lack of oomph !! Need to make a list of stuff I need to do - including buying more Sainsb*** tea bags - I love them :T I am even going to buy a box to drink at work.

Still checking bank everyday and have listed 10 items on eBay ... It's a start. Need to be really careful with meals as have very little money left till pay day which is nearly 2 weeks away :eek: Still at least I know how much money I haven't got, so to speak

Need to go sort uniform / PE kit etc & change beds .... After a cup of tea and the dishes - want to be sat down in time for BB

Hope you feel better soon coco.

Had a rubbish weekend too, the boy is full of a cold and the bathroom door decided to stick shut. Spent the day hammering and chiselling.it's open now,but door ;looks a bit of a mess. I couldn't face ringing a locksmith on a sunday...
and i've gone overdrawn for first time in ages.
January is such a weird month. New yrear starts before before you've got over xmas and ,well, new year!
Roll on February,that's when my "new year" will start-back to proper budgets,usual food etc (and no council tax )

Coco114

A68 I like your thinking

February can be when my new year starts as well ... Good plan !!!
I am not good with winter , especially Jan/Feb !

Listed 3 more items and done my jobs now

Hope that door doesn't cost you too much ! x
