    Anyone else melting or is it just me. All windows open and no breeze whatsoever.. gonna have to close one soon as Mr Black Neighbourhood cat is calling for Dorothy....

    Busy old day at work today hence no check in! Spent again tonight in Tesco's and am now resigned to the fast I have balls*ed up this month! I am resolved to pay £300 to the debt in August and have got on to the ex-LL to cough up my deposit. I have the obligatory "oh I am sure I sent you an email" ...kinda fed up now!

    Counting down the days to going home ( Monday ) to seeing Mumsy and Pa... More importantly I get to sleep in! Lol!

    Early rise tomorrow and will be updating SFD's with two from the weekend..or did I do that already... catching up on posts and generally adding more money to my "spends"...at least I can say it's not going to complete waste...nom nom nom...

    Over and out..

    Sleep well folks..

    Onwards and Upwards!!!!

    Morning all.

    Alas - no lightning or thunder yet - unless they visited when I was asleep!!! Hope I didn't miss it. Also love reading and listening to the rain - snuggled under a throw with a mug of coffee on the go.

    Will check in later on tonight with an update! Have a great day everyone!!!

    :)

    Oh dear

    I have been AWOL and I have been shopping :o :eek: :o :eek: :o

    Confession time when I'm reunited with my receipts from last weekend.

    I fear my true LBM is yet to come, I am finding it so damn hard to just STOP SPENDING!!!

    Think I might start a diary...

    Good morning, sorry been AWOL for a while. Had quite a few SFD again but lost track, but been really good spending wise. Just not been feeling that great with morning sickness I get this time and being a grumpy b*tch again because of the life changes I have to make but no-one else has to, plus I can't really tell anyone yet for another few weeks. So social life is shot too because it'd be highly suspicious to meet people and not drink as I rarely get the chance to do that anyway. Humph....anyway at least the bank balance doesn't look too bad.

    However, looked into the things we need to do in the garden (scary prices for even just material to built a bloomin wall or hiring a skip), since when did adult life become a bottomless money pit. No way we'll be having a wedding next year. Anyway, grump over, sorry.

    I might come back once I'm a bit more cheery, like in 30 weeks.

    Its so stormy today! We had a huge one which woke me up at precisely 5.34am. I couldn't get back to sleep so i decided to go downstairs to check our house rabbit wasnt scared by the noise - he was fast asleep!

    Another SFD for me today - these are pretty much going to be enforced as we draw closer to the end of the month as my bank balance isn't pretty. I am very much a pay things off on payday and work backwards - if i was too lenient i'd just fritter it away so i dont overly mind being skint as strange as it sounds

  • Emotionally and physically drained - will know by the end of tomorrow if we have sold our house privately, had pictures taken of ours today incase it hasnt so we can go to market asap if need be. Meanwhile there is another party now keen on middle earth. They havent sold theirs either but it does put the pressure on. There are only so many times you can tell yourself what will be will be... and Im nearly maxed out on an emotional level. Still working silly hours to get the payslip I need this month so no sitting back and relaxing for me yet!

    Going to keep going but need to emotionally detach in case it all goes wrong. Still a couple of SFDs in the bag and the school hols start tonight so much less running around which has to be good!

    Love to all

    Just spent £14 in Mr T's...I only went in for some cordial! Decided whilst I was there I may as well pick up some other bits to make it worthwhile (???where's the logic in that thinking???)

    My laptop is dying a death as is my mobile (it was a hand-me-down from Hubby) so Hubby is looking at mobile phone&tablet deals as he really wants a tablet so I can have his laptop.

    It was stormy here this morning, The cats and dog all sat squashed round the open back door watching the rain, none ventured out though.
