For the 2nd time since Christmas, I have had an awful cold & throat thing , spent two days in bed but feel better today
Ald* spend of £28 , Mr S spend of £17 so well happy with that :T
Back to school tomorrow ,,,,,, dreading the get up - it's been nice just having me to worry about ! Must get youngest organised today so its less pressure in the morning. Also need to blitz today as haven't done much this week.
I walked to my friends for a glass of wine last night (about a mile) and realised how unfit I am !!! Have decided to do a Sunday morning run and one evening in the week to see how I get on ....... I am sure this will help with my energy levels
Have done next months budget and its super tight !!! So will stick budget shopping and keep my fingers crossed!
Right , another cup of tea and catch up on SuperscrimpersThen it's on with the day. I treated myself using some Boot* points yesterday on a new shampoo & conditioner .... I can't believe how happy that made me and cost no £££ :T

I'm so pleased you've got yourself into A1di :T:T I have been going there for about the last 3 years - I reckon I've saved about £2500 in that time by shopping there. And I am still amazed by how low the bill is, even when the trolley is more full than usual.
I also agree with the poster above who recommended the feminine bits. Much cheaper than the famous brands and just as good
It was my first day back to work today. Already feels like I was never away. Hope yours wasn't too bad.
Watching Superscrimpers here too. Love that programme.It's not how far you fall - it's how high you bounce back.... :jHappiness is not a destination - it's a journey0 -
And another has gone by !!!
Have turned heating off ..... Youngest complained he was cold last night but as he was stood in t shirt & shorts - I didn't take a lot of notice
Roast done & cleared up , veg chilli in the SC, and mince defrosting to make spaghetti & meatballs tomorrow night. Payday on Thursday - I have £70 left , will need £20 petrol but that's about it , dinner money already in the cupboard and meals sorted till weds . Not bad really :T
.32p to rounding account , bank checked. Still plodding along , can't really get very far with this millstone of a house around my neck - but still hanging in there ! Must must must check my credit report this week and get an updated picture of where I am.
That's about it really , nothing exciting , nothing awfulThe final chapter - £4893 to go out of £30K0 -
You say you can't get far Coco but I'd say you've come a long way as it is. If you can afford to (and it appears you can) would it not be worth staying in the house until the price rises again? It's bound to eventually isn't it? Although, only if you can get your ex to sign to say he relinquishes claim to it, otherwise half your hard work goes to him and we wouldn't want that! :rotfl:Mortgage Outstanding Nov '16 £142,772.75Mortgage Additional OPs 2017 Target £4522.80/ Actual £865.00GC Feb 0/£2000

I have made it this far but it's been by the skin of my teeth !
Not making any decision yet just quietly biding my time and see how it all pans out
NSD and .52p to rounding acct - that's as exciting as its been !The final chapter - £4893 to go out of £30K0 -
Yikes it's been two weeks since I posted on here (tho I still read everyday ) !
I have lost focus a bit but luckily , due to complete lack of credit available, haven't gone off the rails. I need to get back to posting every day.
Finally Bank Holiday and a lazy day. Today will be housework / chilling. Tomorrow outside jobs , clear drive cut grass etc. Monday will be paperwork , finances and some work work if I get time.
Hope everyone is well
