The kick up the a&£e diary for debt busting

Up and at it. Lots to do before Easter weekend!
As well as work, it's operation tidy up today!
We are getting there. I'm slowly making changes and getting things as I want them.

Last week was more of a chill week for me as it was tail end of Easter break.
Back to the grind this week...and the mountain of washing my lovely kids have created.
One load in already-another 4 loads need doing today. I have a couple of loads-from weekend-ready to be packed away.
Need to do some exercise today and get into a routine with it, I desperately need to lose weight and tone up.
Right, best get on!

Not managed any more overpayments on the mortgage lately.
I did manage to womble a receipt and got 50p off shopping
I also bought a scratch card for £1 and won a tenner!
I've just checked savings and I have over £200-not including the Tilly tidies I do
throughout the month-I have just over £100 in that particular account this month. I have to confess that £31 of that amount is residue from what I haven't spent out of last months savings from Tilly tidies.

I have really struggled with motivation this week. ( or rather, lack of it).
it's now friday so I really need to get my rear in gear today.
Off to sort out my 'to do' list.

Thanks Ellidee. I ended up working today instead of getting all my jobs done.
The jobs will still be there tomorrow and it is the weekend!

My poor diary has been somewhat neglected as of late...
Had a busy weekend and even managed to clean out the shed last week!
New week, new start.
Been saving my Tilly tidies...until I needed to take the children out at the weekend and ended up spending over 20quid on lunch-and we didn't even go anywhere expensive as such. But it was nice and made a change.
I also spent some of it in asd@ on Saturday. So my funds are someone depleted and I only have just over 20 quid left. It isn't the end of the month yet though! So there's is still time to make something of a recovery.

I need to achieve loads and move mountains this week! No pressure then!:rotfl:
I have loads of stuff to pack today.
I have loads of stuff to photograph and list on the bay.
The wash basket is somewhat full so I need to do about 7 loads of washing. I will be happy if I achieve 3 today. I am sure my beautiful children tidy their rooms into the wash basket...oh well at least it means it isn't on the floor...any more. Lol
I need to pick up DD2 later and go on an errand.
Right, off to make a list.

well my Tilly tidies for this month are well and truly depleted.
DD2 wanted to go shopping with friends and tapped mum for some money.
need to get some stuff sorted and listed-make some money so I can add it to savings.
I also need to think about whether or not to over pay on my student loan-I would just like it out of the way now really...any thoughts or feelings gratefully received.
I think its cold this morning, might have to put the heating on for a short while and it looks like it might rain too.
Feeling inspired after seeing the thread 'things you thought you couldnt sell'-or similar.
Right, better get some packing done. Lots of jobs to do today.

Good luck with all the listing!

You've been as busy as ever

Can't help with the student loan I'm afraid - I think I'd probably just want to clear it if I could, but I don't know if that's best financially.

Thanks jwil.
Still got a long way to go with photographing and listing.
I've made my 'to do' list.
Working this morning.
I have managed to do a load of washing and got another one ready to go in-good job I'm working from home so I can multitask a bit.
I have added a small amount to savings so it stands at £245 now. It's definitely going up...slowly!
Still in a quandary about my student loan...
