  • Grr at your team. Are these the old timers? Should have told them it was free bingo and pontefract cakes.
    Trying to shift that debt!
  • SBO I should have done. The majority of them are partially retired. and old in the head as well. I am at least ten years younger than them. I'm still a busy Mum and a lot of them are Grandparents. They are sucking the life out of me HELP ME !!!:rotfl:All they talk about is shopping and recipes and I smile politely and nod in the right places and inside I am screaming GET ME THE F*CK OUT OF HERE. And breathe :rotfl:.

    I cleaned 5 bathrooms tonight :eek:. I am shattered. Both houses that we clean have been getting gutted over the last few weeks and we just had the bathrooms to do. I am bone weary tonight. Working tomorrow and Sunday and I dont need to do the cleaning job next week so can do another weekend and hopefully come the end of Feb I will clear about £1300 on top of my wage :eek: Awesome eh??

    Paid my £35 cleaning money off of BOS cc tonight so now at £205 :D. I will concentrate on Tesco @ about £1700 after that and if I manage all that overtime then I will almost get rid of it in 1 month. Now that will be exciting :D.

    I hope everyone is well and happy xx

  • Fab news on all that extra money MIT, hardwork I know but imagine getting the statements with a big fat zero!!!

    Off up to bed been so tired this week

    Night xx
  • In work but not too bad. Music is on and th efolks who are here are the alright ones. Always busy at the weekend mind you but I have 2/3rds of my target reached so far so hopefully afternoon not too bad.

    Going to head into the freezer shop on my way home and stock up on juice and freezer food. No doubt I'll be about £100 but i'll try my best to keep it controlled. It's just handy to have some freezer carp in for the kids for when I'm not in.

    Need to stay awake now and finish my shift. I then need to go home and do some housework :(. I was down to my last pair of trousers this morning and house is like a tip. I have someone coming tomorrow to pick up the cross trainer so I better have it a bit tidier ;)

  • Another day over and another good amount earned. Day 13 of working :eek:. Will reach 26 in total hopefully then I will only do one day as I will have the cleaning job on again on Saturday mornings. I am feeling so so positive this year. Not sure if it's because my life is so much easier these days or just that everything seems to be falling into place quite nicely. Maybe I shouldn't tempt fate by saying that :eek:.

    DD has been undercoating the hall today ( I mean who bothers to undercoat) and it is starting to look really nice. I just wish she would get on with it and get it done but I can't nag as she is doing it all nice and professionally for me :D. So I now have had my room, DD's room, bathroom and almost hall done. Kitchen will be stripped and painted. May need lined but I definitely want paint rather than paper this time.Just going to be a cheap tidy up as I will be saving for a new kitchen very soon :D

  • Well I have just given myself a lovely surprise. I was reading someone else's diary and they were talking about the change in their sealed tins being dead money. Now I have a terramundi where I save 50p's in and I just had a wee count of them. Between them and other change I have lying about I have £69 bagged and ready to go to the bank on Monday. I will get £30 tomorrow for my cross trainer so that'll be £99 being banked on Monday :D. I'll find a wee £1 somewhere and have another £100 to pay off of BOS CC. It:Ds under £200 now so that'll bring it under £100 :T how exciting :D. It'll be gone by end of Feb definitely :D.

    Oh and I didn't spend £100 earlier in Iceland. Just £57 :o. Got a good few meals though so not too bad.
