PigginSkint's DFW Diary

PigginSkint

Hi All

I'm back home and feeling very tired after a very long day - I was out of the house for 14 hours today!:eek: :eek: (went out at 7am and got back at 9pm) It wasn't all bad because when we eventually finished at 6:30pm, the Examiners invited me to go and have a drink with them and who was I to refuse! Especially as it didn't cost me anything!

I have just paid for my Avon - I did my order online last night. This means that I must update my total in my sig for the Make £10 a day in July challenge. I can't be bothered to do it now though - I am too tired!

OH is currently cooking me dinner (hang out the bunting!!) and once I have had I am going to have a bath and go to bed - I am badly in need of an early night tonight!

Bye all!

Hey Piggin,

Well done on the calm talk, I bet you were fuming! I hope your ok? Sorry to hear about the cutting back.

Hopefully it will pompt a flicker of his LBM :rolleyes:

I was O.K actually and feel much better now for having done it. I decided that doing it calmly would probably be more effective - less resentment and recrimination and more cooperation and understanding!!

Let's hope it does lead to his LBM!!

Arggghhhhh!!! :eek:
I have just checked my bank balance, later than normal (I normally try to do it before 9am), and discovered that I had gone over my overdraft limit. This was caused by the direct debit for my Camping and Caravanning Club membership renewal going out today – I had completely forgotten about that! Anyway, I have transferred some money from my ISA to bring me back within my limit again, plus a bit extra to cover some shopping I want to do at Aldi on the way home. At least I have no more bills to go out now before payday – thank goodness! Luckily I won’t charged for doing it as I brought it back within the limit on the same day, but it will affect my chances of getting a repayment holiday on my LTSB loan, should I want one. Grrrr!!! :mad:
In better news, the payment for my last batch of Amazon sales has gone into my account. It is only £8.62 but it all helps. I have updated my sig accordingly. I have got another book to go and post today, as it happens – I have quite a flurry of sales this week, which is nice!!
Also yesterday I got £2 cashback from Littlewoods,which has been deducted from my balance.
In much better news, this is my last working day for 2 weeks today. Woohoo! I don’t come back to work until 11th August. We are not going away anywhere (apart from a few daytrips) but it will nice just to not be at work! :j
I shall post again later, if I am still awake!!
Bye all!!

Afternoon

always follow your diary and wonder where you get your energy from.

Have a great two weeks - I take it you cannot manage any camping?

Energy?! I'm sorry, I think you must be confusing me with someone else! Permanently kn*ckered, more like!

Alas, no camping this time. Though I think we might try later in the year when things are a bit more settled. Translation: when OH gets a job so we have more money!

I shall not disappear from MSE while I am off, though past experience shows that I usually spend less time on here when I am off work. Mind you, lots of money-making still to be done, so I shall be probably still be here as much as ever!!

Looking forward to lots of lovely day trips at my SM is taking us on - yippee!!!:j

Hi All

I didn't post again on Friday evening because I spent most of it asleep! Managed to wake up long enough to make and eat dinner, and then went to bed!

Yesterday I went shopping late morning and did precious little (apart from doing some washing) when I got back because I was just too tired. Fell asleep on the sofa again in the afternoon.

My Dad and SM took me and DS out today, which was nice!

The big news today is the Very Important Letter that I started drafting about 2 weeks ago is now done and in an envelope ready to post. I am filled with trepidation at the thought of posting it but I am glad it is finally done.

Bye for now!
