Thanks I think the nice bit might be a bit of a stretch tho ! Lol

It's FRIDAY !!!!!! and it's nearly "wine" o clock :T
I truly cannot believe how quick this week has gone !!! Work has been crazy busy today but worse than that , due to meetings all day I didn't make a dent in my to do pile .... It just got bigger !! I hate not clearing my desk but it couldn't be helped today.

Food as planned (am getting good at this ) checked bank ... Yep I still have no money just checking my £1.86 was still in there ha ha !

I got my money back from water board as well & got my payment reduced as well. I will put the difference in saving acct every month so I have it if I get a huge bill - I just get bored of the fight to get my own money back !!! Also in credit with electric again but I think I will leave that for now as that's the bill that varies so much.

It's really chilly tonight - and boys wanted heating on. I told them to man up a bit and put some more clothes on ..... I am NOT putting my heating on in September !!!

Hello Coco

Steps out of lurkdom to say I am delighted that you have had such good news. You deserve it. I read your thread a few weeks ago and am now keeping up with all your antics

Good things happen to good people. You work hard and you are a good mother.

Enjoy your wine and all the best.

Hi Coco
hope you enjoyed your friday nite wine, and today the sun is shining which always makes everything so much better.
Hang in there, its a challenge but you can do it!

My son sat here last night in a t shirt and moaned he was cold!!! Maybe heating will go on in October.... We've sat here before needing gloves in doors as I couldnt put money on the gas card, but never again

Keep going.

Thanks for the good wishes guys

Indeed the sun is shining today ! Last load of bedding on the line , been through all the paperwork with ex & that's all signed and ready to post
House is a tip but , who cares ??!! It's the first day I have felt better in nearly two weeks - it's taken me ages to shake this horrible cold so housework tomorrow !

Pay day on Monday :j and I cannot wait ! Budget ready with new sec and water payments, and allowing for everything , for the first time in over a year - it just about balances !!! I am soooooo excited ! Now any cutbacks / eBay / survey money can finally start paying off some debt :T

I know what you mean about never again having money on the gas card. Tho for me it's the petrol .... Running the last few days on fumes and hoping I am not going to run out before pay day - never again though (I hope!).

Hi Coco

Sorry to hijack, but I don't have my own diary. Lovely HMRC sent me £288 of overpaid tax - I didn't know I'd overpaid. I've been right to the wire for the last few months, so was happy to have the slack it will give me. Plus, my lovely mum sent £20 to buy flowers for our 5th wedding anniversary. I'll buy about three lots with that; I do love flowers.

Hugs, Satchmo x

That's good news !!! Wonderful mums and a tax rebate :T

Well it's pay day tomorrow ...... And I have about £12 left and enough petrol for 2 days work trips - that's a big improvement !!! (hope I haven't jinxed it ) also , checked on my financial portfolio this morning ........ Yep my £1.86 (I think it was) is still there :rotfl:

So it's been pouring with rain all night, which is typical because it's my turn to do football - so standing in the rain for 1 1/2 hours it is. I must wrap up tho as I can't afford to get Ill again .....

Have a great day all

Tuesday already !!!
Busy week this week - have lots to get done.

I need to jiggle a few Direct Debits around, sort some banking stuff generally, cancel a couple of bits and generally get my new "more balanced" budget underway.

I still want to get back into ebay so I need to also do that I also want to print off my Credit report from Noddle - I will do that on Friday when its quiet sround here. I want an up to date report so I can start working out where to start, if thats makes sense ?!

All paperwork signed and returned ref : PPI so now we wait & see what happens next........ I am willing to bet they wont hurry on this .....

Need to do some banking and some surveys now....

Have a good day all

*** girlie post alert *****
meant to say - have run out of my usual moisturiser , cleanser etc. As I have v sensitive skin I have to be really careful what I use. I went to buy it today - total cost of about £38 .... But when I stopped & thought - I realised I have been managing fine this month - have been using baby lotion as cleanser , water as toner , & e45 cream as moisturiser and my skin is looking lovely .... A very good MSE result
