Bagpuss's blithering debt busting efforts!

And so the disaster wagon that is my life trundles on.

Hubby went to see his boss and was told he cant work until he has been cleared to drive.
So he is only going to receive sick pay.

Then hubby discovers the mot on the car expired on the 20th sept.
so we have been forced to sorn the car as we dont have the money for the mot.:(
On a positive note we do get the refund from the cancelled insurance and the tax that we were going to pay.

so have been a miserable moo today and have done nothing about any bills or anything.

Did have a very nice chicken and sweetcorn soup made from the bones of my "rubber chicken"
Sold my old blackberry curve for the princely sum of £37.00.
Will probably put it towards my very account which will leave £30.00 to pay.

Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day and i will begin to think straight again.

i really want to crop down my very account and get shot of it.

Bulk cooking is going well, i made spag bol on friday bulked out with mixed veg.

Today i made a great big chicken and mushroom pie, which went down a storm.

Got to make a meal plan for the rest of the week.

Evening diary!


Got £37 paid for my blackberry on ma*uma.
Putting that towards dinner money and gas and electric for this week.
Really need to bank up the electric cos none of my washing is getting dried and i really cant fall behind.
Had sweet and sour chicken tonight using up the last of the "rubber chicken" i had in the freezer.
Need to start a whole new meal for the next couple of weeks.

Have had the heating on every day so far. but seeing as this is the 1st year we will actually have working heating, its kind if a novelty

Will sit down 2moz and sort wot needs to be paid.
really want to take out my simply be account asap as i am currently paying half my monthly instalment in interest:eek:

Hubby has gone into hospital for his sleep test.
Really hoping they will say all is well and that he can return to work.

Hi there!

Blimey the days fly by!

So hubby had his sleep test and unfortunatly can't go back to work until they have cleared him.
So we are still keeping a tight hold on the pennies.

CB went into account today so I made payments to all the bills.
Just 2 weeks dinner money owing, but I'll pay that 2moz.

Dinner going well, made a lovely stew today. I took some out and thicken it up and made some pastry.
So that's too yummy minced beef pies ready for another meal£
Meatballs in the slow cooker in the morning,ready for after dd2 swimming lesson.

Need to stock up on store cupboard essentials 2 moz as we have nothing in their.
DD2 took the last of my packets for harvest festival at school!

So here's to another debt busting week

Oh was a little naughty, I ordered a bra from my simply be catalogue I know it is something I will have to pay back in the end but I really needed a new one.

How long might it be til your OH gets cleared?

bagpuss38

Hi beanielou,

He has a breathing machine, and he has to return the chip after 6 weeks.
He asked his doctor when he might be able to return to work and the doctor said to him to come back in a couple of weeks.

Really need him back at work.

So today I made rice krispie cakes with marshmallows, some flapjacks and a potato and butternut squash soup.
Meatballs for dinner tonight, then I have to make a honey cake for dd3 to take to international evening at beavers.
Its a cooking and baking day:T

What a miserable. Old day here.

Have. Had to pull all the washing off the line and finish it in the TD.
Electric is running v low so will have to dry much of it on the radiators.


Been v lazy and have not listed anything on fleabay.
Really need to get cracking cos my Very account is now down to £30 and if get some good sales I could kiss it goodbye once and for all!

Have made small payments to all debts.

Cooked a lovely roast gammon with roasted veg, popped some jam tarts in while the roast was cooking.
Then made a delectable american cream pie for pudding.
Have also bolied up the bones from last night chicken drumsticks and made a chicken and vegetable soup.
Tomorrow is dd2 swimming lessons so I need to defrost a lasagne I made last week and that's dinner sorted with some salad.

Excited cos I have managed to get another breadmaker from freecycle as my last one is'nt making the bread rise.
So nice fresh bread tomorrow, which is great cos everyone loves it

No word from the rent people. The court date was the 17th oct so I assume someone will write to me soon.

Another week of debt busting and plodding on.

Have a good week all x

Scuff
