  • Well me and DD got a bit carried away and have planted potatoes, peas and beans as the soil was so easy this year, the back breaking digging last year has really paid off :T.

    I have got a line of washing out and done the housework and now it's time to play on the kinect with DD and get fit :D

    It is going to be another NSD for me that's 4 in a row :A

    Just realised Twinks hob nobs have all gone well they didn't last very long at all :o think I ate most of them they are very moreish so maybe another batch will be going in when I do my roast potatoes later.

    Had a really busy day today, weeded all my boarder and replanted it with a mixture of herbs and flowers. I have also planted my onions and carrots so that should cover most of this years veg now which will bring my food bill down later in the year.

    Done another NSD so really pleased with my 5 days in a row :T I think I have got better at budgeting.

    Need to go shopping Tuesday only need bread, milk, cheese, bananas and eggs so should be fairly cheap again. Hoping it will be no more than a £35 spend including £25 to be put in the car in petrol.

    Yet another NSD under my belt so that's 6 for me so far and not missing going to the shops one bit at all.

    I won chocolates for my works incentive today so I gave them to DD as I am dieting and I feel bad I feel like I'm depriving her which is really silly I know she isn't missing out on anything it's just in my mind.

    My cats hurt his foot but after looking on the internet I have sprayed it with savlon and bandaged his foot up which he was not at all impressed with but hoping that will do the trick I really could do without a huge vets bill right now. He is very much an outside cat and he's pacing around the house whinging away like we are punishing him :(.

    Feel like I'm not getting anywhere debt busting at the moment because I have only paid mum's bill but I can really start next month once the camping holidays paid off and I know this won't be forever it's just for now. I have been feeling so positive until today when hit home this is my life until at least February but I have to focus that it's not that long really.

    I have been shopping put £25 petrol in the car and only spent £4.52 on shopping so I have put £5.48 towards my over draft as I have budgeted £10 for shopping a little start towards debt busting. Baby steps slowly but surely.

    I am really making the effort this time and really going to do this.

  • I have put the washing out and hoping it will be sunny like the weather forecast says.

    I spent some time with my best friend last night and she said it was nice to see me smiling again I think my bi polar has taken a turn again feel very motivated and happy after weeks of feeling bleak and depressed.

    Half the problems happen when depression kicks in but this time I have managed to resist the urge to spend to make myself feel better which is a step in the right direction. DD helps me so much as when I go on a spending spree she stops me blowing loads of money bless her she's very grown up for a 10 year old I have to say she's saved me from myself a lot of times.

    Well this is going to be the first of what I am hoping will be 6 NSD's again and looking forward to pay day to get pounds to pocket down again and mum down a bit more. I have cancelled my creditexpert account and using noddle now as I didn't know I could get that free so that's saving me £14.99 a month which will go into my overdraft. I am looking forward to June which is the last payment to pounds to pocket and I will use that £80 to start making dents into my over draft too.

  • Had to bite the bullet and take the cat to the vets but found there is a blue cross that covers my area. He has had an an injection and the vet said to bring him back Friday as my grumpy little man was growling at the vet and was not impressed at all. They are going to sedate him and give him an x-ray. Really hoping he is OK he is a huge part of my family. He is sleeping now so hoping that's a good sign.

    Not spent anything but I will make a donation on Friday as they have been really good.

    Time to finally sit down and relax now after a really hectic day.

  • Well pleased to say my cat is looking a bit better today after a good nights sleep he had me worried. He is a bit more active and starting to walk on it so maybe its not broken just a really bad cut.

    All I can say is thank god for the blue cross they are life savers.
