Hi all
Didn't even need to go to Assd@ today *yes, I did mean to call then Assd@* - can't bear them. I got everything in Ald! and L!dl for the princely sum of £45.67. Hooray!
Good job, because I've completely lost my gift card for them - I am sure I had it in my diary but it' wasn't there when I got to town.
On the plus side, the house is almost as clean as a clean thing, because I've had it upside down looking for my missing gift card!

I'm still reading, but can't muster the enthusiasm to post. DH's JSA ended this week and our income has dropped by £295 a month. We weren't coping on the income we were getting before the drop so this has thrown me into a deep low. The small things don't seem to apply when all I can see are BIG red numbers.

I know that's a bit of a defeatist attitude, but I'm having real problems eating, sleeping, working etc at the moment so posting is the last thing on my mind. I will bounce back, 'cos that's what I do.

Morning everyone

Pixie- Happy Birthday
SW- Sorry to hear your feeling miserable, hope things get better

I haven't posted for a week been really bust still in process of getting bathroom done, tiler coming tomorrow so hopefully everything will be back to normal by Tuesday. costs have just spiralled but I supppose once it'd done that's it.

Today's list:

• Update GC- over budget
• check all banking/emails
• sort out paperwork been neglecting everything for the last week
• washing and ironing- out on line if it clears up
• move money to appropriate pots and see whats left
• go to bank and lift some more money for tiler
• pick up new towels I got half price in Sainsbos
• visit my sis
• all meals from stores

Think that's about it have a good day everyone.

Lots of love to you Stitchy, I know the feeling when life just chucks something else at you... Hope that things really start looking up soon for you.
I've managed quite a good nights sleep - I'm hardly raring to go, but not feeling as dreadful as I did last week.
Today will be a quiet one for me.
Checked bank, and moved my £3 winnings from Lotto into savings.
Take dd out to see free film at cinema.
Try some more flylady, did a good sort out of the downstairs of the house last night.
Tutoring later to make some extra £.
Make banana loaf with ds before the bananas walk to the bin on their own.
MUST mark some books.

Stitchy, glad you're still reading. Hope there is light at end of the tunnel soon

Today I will:

- try and go to the allotment, to clear stuff and plan the year ahead
- do some work, big presentation at work next week
- make a nice dinner. Have everything we need so no need to spend
- keep on checking eBay, and reply to a query from a potential bidder
- check banking and make a PAD against each CC

So a quiet day. Hoping for another sunny day too of course!
