em....... we haven't actually discussed Pet Hotel rates yet, have we
.
you should be paying me for the privilege of having something cute to play with
so sold my iphone yest to cex for £152 :j had to get money by bank transfer so not got it yet. he said 3 working days so should be soon
then i will actually have £100 in savings for nz! :T will be adding another £250 next weekend for the ipad :j
ms has picked up slightly as have now got about £80 booked this month which is an improvement on jan but still not great
however i have not factored anymore in until i go on hol just in case i cant pick any up :cool:
dont think i need to buy too much before i go as unless i miraculously loose a stone in 5 weeks i think my clothes from last summer will still fit. need to get sunglasses and case, headphones and kindle light but cant really think of much more.
so plans for the weekend are do 5 ms today as well as go gym and cook a pot of soup. will also try and clean en suite.
tomorrow i am at gym and visiting a friend but also need to cook another soup and change my bedding. very exciting stuff!:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j0 -

will be getting my ipad cheque today so thats going straight into the bank. along with £24 weekly spends left over from last few weeks. was £34 but i used £10 to pay for work parking this week (will get back but not til march pay). i bought myself a nice kath kidston bag in the sale last week for £35 so the money will go towards that as i bought it on the cc.
will also be getting my £340 rent during the week as well. so next friday i will have at least £700 spends for holiday
ms going slightly better as now up to £114 done/booked in feb. heres hoping for a few more!
i have today and monday off so along with plenty of gym sessions this weekend and seeing family for lunch today i will do the big monthly shop, do a bit of batch cooking, general cleaning and a deep clean of my bedroom. need to move the small furniture out to hoover under bed and wash the floor. plan to try and do some decluttering and will ebay a few things next weekend. also got a few things not worth ebaying as quite low value and heavy so will list them on our intranet at work and if they dont sell i will take to charity shop.:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j0 -
hmmmm just checked online banking and voda have taken the normal amount. my bill should now be £10 less but i should have paid £99 for the phone. just rang to query it and explained, she apologised and said it was a technical error. she has credited me with £10 so bill will be less next month then normal. however she didnt mention the £99. will keep my mouth :lipsrseal and see if they notice.... i did tell her at the start of the call so its not my fault.... :rotfl: i will keep the money in the account anyway but fingers crossed :j :j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j0

so had a nice night last night and total spends were £5.50! :j got £22.50 left in purse so will pay it all in bank tomorrow i think although need eye make up remover but got a voucher for 100 points for a boots brand so if they have eye make remover in that brand i will buy it and get the points (as worth £1) but if not i will get it free with my points. the eye make up remover will prob only be around £3 as i dont get expensive ones!
laptop is on 31 watchers but no bids only about 8 hrs to go :j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j0 -
in other news i rang bg re my boiler cover as they put my premium up by nearly £5!! was £17 and now over £21!:eek: i didnt even make a claim on it last year. i have now changed it to £50 excess as its over £7 per month cheaper. so if i dont need to call them or only have to call them once i will be quids in.
decided to treat myself to a window cleaner as i have lived here for 2.5 years and never had one so the upstairs windows are filthy! i did get a quote before and it was £10 may get another to see how it compares. also need to sort out the logistics as to access the back of my house you need to go through a locked gate then 3 neighbours gardens. not sure if i need to give him a key or if i will need to be there to let him through the house.
if i stay roughly on budget for nz then i will get someone to paint the front of my house when i get back as need the window frames done and the bits of brick that are painted. i wouldnt mind doing the bottom but no way am i going up the ladder to do the top. front of house looks v tatty at the moment so want to spruce it up. will then keep bins round back even though is a total pain in the !!!! to drag them round but they look untidy and you then wont be able to see my nice neat front of house reckon i can get away with emptying main bins only once per month as they are never full. food bin is small so can just carry that through house by handle :j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j0 -

so laptop sold for £97! :j was a nail biting last 2.5 mins where it went from £59-£97 (yes i did watch the 2.5 min countdown second by second, was very exciting :rotfl:)
person should be paying tonight so hope to clear about £80 after fees will go straight in the nz pot.
need some new trainers as the grip has worn off on the toe part on both pairs i have which means i cant do any plank style moves as my feet slip along the floor. going to look in primark and if i can get some plimsoles for a few quid i am going to attempt to cut some of the sole off and glue it to the toe part on the sole of my trainers! there is nothing wrong with the trainers except that so seems a waste to get new ones! will report back how it goes! :A:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j0
