  • Hey :wave:

    Had a good night last night ended up going out after :eek:Tuesdays are my favourate day in a little rock club in town. I only have £15 left out of my entertainemtn budget. Felt a bit guilty for spending money but it was from my entertainment budget so need to stop feeling guilty. So £15 left should be enought to last all I have coming up is the community shield on sunday.

    Went too see a friends today who's been poorly we watched a film and went throught our bucket lists. This has motivated me more as the thing of my list i'm working on at the moment it to be debt free. We've decided to book off Nov 28th this is when the next luner eclipce is and we're goning to find a nice place and watch it with a few beers. :j

    NSD today :j was sooo tempted to spend the money on my purse on some chips to cure my hangover but I managed to resist temptaion and have made it home and just popped the homemade pastie I froze last week in the oven. :j Decided my money would be best spent on sunday at the football.

    5 days till pay day :j:j:j

    Rock clubs are always worth spending a bit of money on Hannah, so don't feel guilty. Although I tend to get a bad neck from head banging all night when I go (only once this year! :eek: I need to go again!!) but it stops me drinking too much as I'm too busy dancing! Regular clubs mean more money spent on booze to make the rubbish music seem better lol.

    Congrats on the NSD, and have a good pay day (mine's at the end of the month :()
  • Hey :wave:

    Good day at work today :j I do enjoy my job most days. Getting a little excited that my week off is now in sight. Starts sat at 5pm :j

    NSD again today :T Finding it really easy not to spend on my working days so this week off will be a test.

    Totally irrelivant but since I moved out of my old house in feb I haven't had scales in the house this was a consiouse decision as I wanted to live by how my clothes felt and looked rather than by how much gravity was pulling down on me. Went to my friends a weighed myself turns out i've lost a stone :j i'm now back at my ideal weight. With out even trying I think it's all happened since I started budgeting and planning meals in advance instead of nipping to the shop 3 or 4 times a week or getting a takeaway. So now I have more money :j and I feel healthier and have lost weight without even trying :j

    Happy days x

  • Hey :wave: Finished work for a week wahoooo :j

    Needed milk after work so popped to Sainsburys ended up treating myself to massive bag of frazzles (need my bacon fix sometimes) and cookies most of which have magically disappeared and now my plan is to watch crap TV & drink tea until 10pm when I said I'd go get BF from work. :j

    Sold my meerkat and DVD today making £35.67 before ebay fee's and postage. Will post them on monday and transfer the rest of the money off a debt will have a think about which one...

    So had £13 in the bank spent £3 in sainsburys. £10 will go into the car for petrol tomorrow may as BF to put £10 towards petrol too. Then will get some money from his friends we are driving for petrol and use this for a cheeky beer etc while at the match.

    3 days till pay day :j:j

  • Morning :wave:

    Bad day money wise yesteday. Went to the community shield in Birmingham. Had to put £35 petrol in the car. BF brought all food & drink but was exspecting his friends we gave a lift to to pay some towards petrol but they didn't :eek: SO thats my ebay money gone. :mad:

    I don't like football at the best of but thought BF would enjoy it. Having trouble with my wisdom tooth again so I was grumpy with a splitting headache all yesterday as there we're no pharmacies open when we left in the morning and non around the stadium. Think that will be the last football match I ever go to. We we're sat near an utter idiot who kept shouting I could have killed him. I'd like to see him and his beer belly run around a pitch for 90 mins. Grrrr i'm still angry.

    Made it home in one piece and fell on the sofa and had a nap. Woke up in time for the closing ceremony which cheered me up a bit. The watched a tiny bit of the meteor shower. It's happening again tonight so if we're back from Birmingham on time I might suggest we go find a field and chill out and watch it properly tonight. Need to get some use out of my camera had it since christmas and only taken kitten pics really oh and followed a squirel around for a bit but that ended up in my being covered in mud :rotfl:

    BF has some bad family news last night which means another trip to Birmingham today.I don't mind taking him but wish he could drive so we could share the driving. Grrrr men he doesn't seem to think he needed to learn as he doesn't need a car for work. Makes me wonder if work is that only place he ever wants to go in his life :mad: Oops shouldn't be mean today just makes me frustrated he's happy for me to drive him everywhere and we've spoke about him learning many times and he's not bothered. I will be popping to the pharmacy before we go today thought don't think I can handle another 2 hour drive without pain killers and I don't want to be grumpy again.

    Right best go have a shower and put on a happy face.. :D wish me luck.

    2 days till pay day (thank god) :j

  • Wow what a day. Got stuck on the M6 there was an accident and we had to sit there with our cars off and sit there for 4 hours :eek: I used to pick on my mum for all the supplies she takes on long car journeys but we didn't even have a drink in the car so i'm going to invest on some drinks to keep in the boot, just in case. I'm turning into my mum aghhhhhhhhh:eek: So our quick trip to birmingham resulted in leaving at 11 and getting back at 2 am :mad:

    Moneywise I already told BF I was skint so he put petrol and brought food yesterday he enede up spending a fortune bless him.

    Got my phone bill throught it's normally about £15 but it's £34 due to all the 0845 no's i've been calling to sort out cheaper this that or the other. :mad: One step forward 2 steps back again.

    Realised I can claim tesco clubcard points on my e.on account so set that up this morning.

    Off to my dad's today to help with the gardening so today should be a NSD. Going to reading tomorrow to see my grandad he's blind and can't get out the house much so when we go visit we do a massive food shop for him full of treats he doesn't usually have. He will give us the money back for this when we get there thought.

    Will be spending money on food tomorrow will eat breakfast before I go and pop to tesco for cheap healthy car snack. Then probably pop for lunch in reading with my sister. It's a long trip and we go insane with out stopping off somewhre to chill for a bit. I told sis i'd drive but after yesterday's shenanigans I'm thinking of seeing if she fancies it.

    Pay day tomorrow :j
