Hi happy:)

I know what you mean about avoiding a 12 month plan, however, the broken laptop which will need fixing, will cost me cash I just don't have right now, I will get it fixed but probably next month when I have the funds, however I really cannot go without a computer for my uni studies. When the laptop is fixed the children can use that one for their homework etc, without any need to touch the one meant for my studies. Plus, I have a uni grant due in October so will probably use the majority of that towards paying off the bnpl:) xx

So you have thought it out :-) makes sense. Steady day today :-) just watching rubbish tv xx

Lol. I've studied most of the day, was sitting in bed with new course materials but my eyes were slowly closing:D I think it may have been figuring out the highest common factors and lowest common multiples of 48 from earlier that did it :rotfl:

Going to take the hint and get an early night in, have college tomorrow so no uni work will get done but back into it on Wednesday.

I keep telling myself it will all be worth it in the end:D

Goodnight. Yes it will be all worth it in the end :-). X

Morning:)

Small payments made to overdraft and credit card this morning, coming down nicely:) spreadsheets updated. Tax credits in tomorrow, so will be a few payments coming out.

College this morning, revising going well so far, 19 sections to cover before exam and I'm 2 down 17 to go :eek: will get quite a lot covered this morning in class though and it's all practice. Fingers crossed for another good score in the exam which will leave me in a very good position for the final exam in June.

Lunchbox made for lunch today for me. Dinner tonight will be probably kebab, which I shall make when I get back from college, will need to pick up some pitas later to have with it.

Need to back on a fiscal fast which I may do from Saturday...it really does work, but the last week I have found myself nipping to the shops to pick up the odd thing so must stop that!

DD at after school club this afternoon, so will be doing a slightly later dinner time. Really need to make some more twinks, so will try and bake those this afternoon.

Have a good day all xx

Morning:)

Busy day yesterday. College was good, tutor really excellent at explaining things. Did a revision test and got 100%, pleased with that:) I have some practice exam papers somewhere so I will be digging them out and putting them into my study timetable somewhere.

New laptop arrived yesterday afternoon, so can crack on with uni work today. Took me ages to get my head round windows8 though! Have put on the Internet protection and sorted out my email and bookmarks, copied my uni work from flash drive to of and took photos off my phone onto PC which I had been meaning to do for ages!!

Made kebab for dinner last night, was yum, planning on cooking up some chicken thighs today for a curry. Still haven't got round to making twinks for tins must remember to do that today too!

Banking checked and direct debit to credit card came out this morning and tax credits have gone in. All looking as it should and spreadsheets updated.

Need to go and buy milk today as nearly run out. Trying to hang on from doing a proper shop until Friday.

Have a good day x

Morning all:)

Went to sainsburys in the end yesterday to pick up a few bits and ended up doing a weeks shop. I arrived at just the right time and got some amazing deals on yellow stickered meat. A rack of ribs, lamb chunks, beef chunks, a whole chicken, two pukka pies and a bag of chicken breasts all for much less than half the price, also got sausages half price, and crisps and pizza on offer:T although I ended up spending just under £60 quid in total, I got a massive amount for it and should be able to make many meals out of that lot. I also got all my usual food items, may have to top up on milk at some point early next week but hopefully the actual meal items will last me at least a week possibly two. A fab shop and I'm glad I just popped in!

Have a friend round for a cuppa after school, will be nice to catch up as I haven't seen her in a while:)

Another full on study day planned for me. Cracked on with essay planning yesterday and have managed to finish the plan and start writing part of the essay:) will be working on it again this morning and then some maths after lunch.

Cubs for DD tonight, so may fit in some extra study while she is there and I'm hoping to make a start on new course tomorrow.

Banking checked but nothing in or out today, there is a bill to go out tomorrow and then nothing until Monday.

Must go through purse at some point this morning and grab small change to pot, as I haven't had anything in the last few days.

I probably won't be able to pot much at all next month as I have lots of birthdays (3 of my kids in there too) so will be needing every penny available!

Have a good day

Hi Happy:) new PC is really good, just getting my head round windows 8 that's the problem:rotfl:

I have the beginnings of a cold:( very sniffly this morning! Another day in and studying today, got a lot done yesterday and then later a friend popped in for a natter which was lovely:T

Bf staying for weekend, so cooking a roast tonight, yum! Last nights meals were leftovers, but it got to about 8.30 last night and I started to feel really hungry, then realised I hadn't actually made myself any dinner, doh!

Will be aiming not to spend any money today, Saturday or Sunday. Just a lazy weekend, with the possibility of some baking:) need to crank up the pressure from Monday as will only have ten days to finish assignment:eek:

Direct debit out this morning so have adjusted spreadsheets.

Have a lovely Friday everyone
