PurpleFairy26

Morning All:j Been AWOL - not sure where the second half of Feb went, I think I blinked and missed it

Anyway - my list for today:
Work lots - am at home, so it makes it a bit easier
payday, so move some money around and update my lovely spreadsheet
Food from stores
Food being delivered later, but used a Gr0up0n voucher for £40 free groceries :j
Chase BG - agreed last week to swap to them as they were giving £200 credit - I knew the chap wasn't paying attention when I gave him my e-mail addy :mad:
list lots on fleabay tonight
made HM 15 min granola this morning with stuff from stores
pack up two fleabay parcels and take to be posted
update work expenses on line - see if others have been authorised
check out Cah00t interest payback - see if I can find any account details from an old loan - if not try and work out what to do
Cancel 2 old CC

Think that's about all. Have a great day everyone

Hi All thanks Pix

I am in work off to do a talk to kiddies about recycling in a minute

Today:

Ordered 7 dresses for £7 from HnM bargain! 2 are going to my sister for her b'day my friend said she'd buy one off me for a quid lol

I ordered the camera off the grabbit board for DD1 B'day

Still have money in the bank after payday which is amazing although have to pay nursery £351 ARGH on the 7th

Brought in soup for lunch - and they heated it up in the cafe so I didnt even pay electric to warm it and it was 50p a can in Farmf**ds

Free cereal for brekkie

Everyone in the house has been sick now so that should be the end of it - hopefully

Hoping my Capital 1 card will be there whan I get back its been a week now

Have a good day everyone

Afternoon all

Thanks for starting the thread Pixie

Bit late in posting today as I'm a lady of leisure. Thought I would take a day off before 'Mad March' kicks in. I've got loads of work booked in for the next couple of weeks - long may it continue .

So, today I have:

• Checked banking
• Booked in another 3 jobs

Today I will:

• Tidy up the flat
• Sort out the washing
• Look to see what other challenges I can join for March

Think that will do. I hope everyone's having a good day.

Hi guys :hello:

I went to see a man about a job and a £7k+ payrise today :eek: Who knows what will happen now?!!

Kinda hard to think about much else!!

Not so DFW cos I had to buy a dress to wear to the interview (£65) and 2nd round interview will probably require dress purchase #2...

Exhausted!

Oooh, Pixie, your dd will be well chuffed. Glad you had a lovely bday at the weekend btw.

ETA - the rest of my day/week will be DFW - fell and twisted my ankle so not doing much more than sitting on my sofa with a bag of frozen peas! Ouch.

Tried calling them today, was on hold for 30 mins and had to hang up, will try again tomorrow, agggghhhhhh

ooooooooh one more thing to add to my list: look into reclaiming PPI from old HSBC credit card (cleared and closed in 2008) wasnt gonna bother but a)could use the extra cash and b)it was missold anyway as i was told my application would be declined without it.

Hello -- another late post for me.

Spent much of today gearing up for my plan that starts tomorrow (I have started a thread about it called "simple steps for Sally") so I have:
Completed a snowball calculator for my CCs
Checked banking
Given out bills (on time for a change!) to pet-business clients
Listed 10 freelance writing article to complete over the next few days
All meals from plan
Heating off
Dried washing on line
LSD (one stamp)
Found something to Ebay
Taken rubbish to tip/recycling (cheaper than hiring a skip, which is what I would normally do after a clear out!)
Put air in tyres
Secured an extra 4 weeks business from a dog-walking client

This evening I propose to take it easy so that I can hit the ground running tomorrow!

Hugs to all,

Sally x x x
