Month 29, Day 15 . :bdaycake:
to me today . Yes, its my birthday, I have had plenty of them and can honestly say I am the happiest I have been on a birthday despite having very little in the way of presents ( I got paint for the fence) and some beautiful words in a card from my husband. He was not overly sloppy he was candid and sweet and expressive - while not being sillily affectatious.
DS was in a 'humour' this morning, and said he wanted to go back to bed and have some sleep - I dont say I blame him I do too! :rotfl:
Hoping for some birthday cash to fly my way and re fluff the accounts. I do have money in from the CSA but its all allocated and the ebay which sold has yet to be paid for ! More ebay is ending tonight and that is up to 14.39 which wont come in wrong, as long as people pay.
Other than that - 2 weeks to payday. 11 days to child benefit.
I am still managing to avoid any bank charges and thats my aim moving forwards.
I still have not banked the pennies, spent last night ironing and put curtains in the wash, will be working my way through that lot later on - as long as too many people dont call round!!Trying to shift that debt!0 -
Already have 2 bottles of wine, a book on gardening, some scented candles some smellies !

Month 29, day 16. My signature has been updated and thanks to ebay, I have managed to more or less make my first minimum payment. People have begun paying for things, oh blessed relief.
My parents visited last night and so did DD1. I cleaned out the garden box while recieving presents. Was excellent! My curtains and windows were washed. Tonight I am going to wash the remaining window, wash the front door, mow lawns, and paint the steps. Jolly days! The paint was priced at only 1.49 per tin an utter bargain and I thought, well, rude not to.
I am so looking forward to the weekend. Despite having very little money and very little chance of much more I am going to be, of course listing on ebay and having a lovely time with my family.Trying to shift that debt!0
