A Budgeteers Continued Quest to be Debt Free & Mortgage Free By 40

Sounds like you had a good day yesterday

I still say go for the job - you can always turn it down if it doesn't suit. You'd be able to find out more about the requirements if you were offered an interview.

I'm not being overly productive this weekend, so trying to do a few small bits around lots of resting!

Have a good day!

Hi Dedicated! :wave:

Blimey - you're sticking more on your plate already?! I guess you could go for the interview and see where it leads, but surely your number one priority at the minute needs to be getting your health in order...which you are doing, I know, but perhaps a bit more down time might help?!

And it's free listings this weekend on bay of E: enjoy!

Hey Guys - lovely to pop in and see you all on here

i have been up a couple of hours although i am still tired but it is my only lie-in of the week I've not done that much in that time though - just easing myself into the day - got the pots done, completed a survey and screened out of 3 others.

Decided to get on the case for the london trip and sat myself down and found the best seats for the show my Mr wants to go and see - duly booked :T But grief how i very much dislike those automated phone thingys :mad: Still to sort out travel and accomodation.

I've also caught up on some notes for OU, put some rubbish out but i've not eaten yet :eek: So i'm going to put that right now

Today will see me continuing to sort out the woollens - think there's just 1 item heading to the carbooty - might move onto skirts and shorts after that... we'll see... this is the stuff that will give me a break and take me away from my nvq stuff so that i'll hopefully return rejuvinated

DedicatedDFW

Ok i've now eaten but am fairly un-motivated rather than demotivated today...

Plan to get me going is:-

go and return clothes from spare room to bed and put at least 5 jumpers / cardi's away after making decisions on them
lift out nvq stuff and do at least 3 pages (took 30mins just for this the other day :eek:)
File away old TMA's
wash pots - it never ends!!!
cuppa
3 pages nvq
move 5 more jumpers / cardi's (if there's that many left)
hand washing
3 pages nvq

And then or even before then i'll update and see where i'm up to and tweak as necessary

Legs are incredibly achey after the snow hike yesterday - will be good to get out for a run next week but i am no good for this today - i can barely walk! :rotfl::rotfl:

DedicatedDFW

scrap that I've completed 10 nvq questions but have put it away and will do it in my lunch in work - it is too much like working on my day off and making me think about work which i don't like to do

I've also put in a complaint will see what they come back with - shame i didn't feel i could put in about the person i spoke to sounding only half awake :mad:

Up to 5 newly listed items on the bay of e. Jotted down some more OU notes, pots are washed, jumpers and cardi's are sorted. Right, time to move TMA stuff, handwashing to be done and then next section of OU to move onto. Also skirts etc. to sort through - will be good if i find any more bay of e stuff

I got through alot of the things i wanted to so that is good - anything not completed for various reasons gets put onto this weeks to do list as previous post.

I not only finished sorting jumpers and cardi's but also did all shorts and skirts :T So that is another section once again culled and organised :T

I've been screened out of surveys and checked again for MS opportunities but none to apply for - actually i *must* check again tomorrow as there'll probably be a couple i can put in for if they are re-set with better dates for me

Going to grab my book and have a bit of a read / watch a bit of tv and eat cake - multi-tasking and decluttering all at the same time

jwil

Well done on all you've achieved! Enjoy your book and cake, sounds like a fab end to the weekend
