  • Hiya JLL, thank You fro reading and posting, fab idea I will mention it and keep you updated.

    I am sorted with this weeks main meals. DH does not have a large appetite, so one main meal at tea time and a snack at lunch Is all we would usually have and is even happy with a snack for both meals time sometimes. Thats how he is thin and I am not :(

    Update

    Two outfits of dolls clothes done, I have 2 more to do and pushchair, blanket and pillow. Until the end I wont know for definite as I will need to weigh them for total amount of wool used and I need to get some bits and bobs, to finish them off but I,m looking in the region of £20 £25 total cost :j, I knit when watching TV or spare time at work, so seems no effort. Wool as not cost anything as I have wool left off other projects or bought and not used, so guess that bit is cost. Money will go to food bill or petrol, this means I will have more in my purse and not need to renew my one payday loan.

    Still just the one. I have not renewed the second one (yet), still hanging on :).

    3 things on ebay and 2 people watching two different things :), I did 10 day listing, did not seem to be any extra cost for that ?

    Have a good day all you :A people, cant thank you all enough.

    :)

    You're doing brilliantly :)

    No extra cost for10 day listings. It's often best if you can time the listing to end on a Sat or Sunday evening since more people bid at the end of the listing, and more people are around at the weekend.

  • How are you doing? It's brill what your attempting.
  • I have still not renewed 2nd payday loan and things are getting tight now. Meals planned until Sunday. I will need to find £20 for a bus pass, as my work at the theater which is going to earn me 1200 starts before I get paid !!!.

    I have said in previous post that I owe money to by brother and did not want to ask for more. There is No way I am going to get to payday without cash from somewhere. So was thinking if I showed my brother this site and my thread. I might feel better about asking. He has never refused me before but he must think, here we go again.

    I have in the past, say needed £75 but have ask for £100 !!! now I realize that was so wrong of me. So thinking of writing down what I need to cover and ask to borrow just that amount. I hope that the fact that I have not renewed my 2nd payday loan and this thread will show him I am trying.

    :)

  • :TAnd maybe show him what you've survived on this month! Have you totalled it up yet? I know there was £60. Keep going all fab:T
  • I rang my brother last night and said hello and don't interrupt till I am finished. I explained all of the above. He said well I must say its a great deal different to your usual way of dealing with things. I'll call at the weekend with the money, how much. I said I had not yet worked out how much and he was welcome to come at the weekend but, I did not need money then. I will try as get as far as I can on my own. He said, wow not like you, you usually want it asap, I hope you can get your head around it and get sorted, this time. Apparently I worry him, he is 13yr younger than me and so organized, so embarrassing :o. But so will I be soon :j, organized and debt free.

    Need petrol in the car today and coffee. I have been walking to work, so managed to eek out the petrol a bit more.

  • Not a lot happening. I have worked out, I will borrow £60 from brother, then I can get through till payday.

    Menu planning today for next week, and going shopping to get what I need.. We had a glut of milk at work, so brought home 2 large cartons, one to use one to go in the freezer.

    Also going into the loft this weekend, to check out chritmas stuff, cards wrapping etc, so I dont buy wants not needed.

    Frosty here today had to scrape my car this morning
