Buffy's 100 Day Challenge :)
Comments

Morning.
have just worked out exactly how skint I am. the 240 I have will be swallowed up in my monthly expenses - had worked it out wrong(due to headache I think) .no spending money at all.
I am still saving - for the house, for the dogs so I suppose I am actually doing well but have no spare cash. Actually I guess that isn't so bad. debt is at 0% savings are in an ISA. I still owe myself money - now 800 quid. that bugs me.
oh dear. First month in new job has been a success in many ways but financially it is a mare.
Really it is the car - it cost me £250 which was the spending money I had left(petrol and food) - well I had 160 left and borrowed 100 from this week's wages(which were meant to go on CC and savings).
I feel like I am never going to catch up with myself. I need a week of not spending. well not spending much. I would always have to buy petrol and food!
I really need to think seriously about earning more.
I get paid for my second job this coming week so will be fine but I don't like this feeling of not having a clear system.
Feeling very dizzy and weird. not convinced this entry makes any sense at all!Nevertheless she persisted.0 -
Buffy, I can't remember if you do the £10 per day challenge on debt free wannabe thread? If not, it's well worth a look. The first page of each monthly thread has lots of ideas on how to make money and if you follow the thread regularly you pick up lots of ideas XxDebts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j

Slept for ages, and feel worn out. You know when you throw up so much everything hurts.
I can't quite believe it but my Mum has changed the lightbulb in the bathroom.
Now I know changing the lightbulb - not a big deal but she had brought the ladder upstairs (have just caught her going down the stairs with the ladder) got on it, changed the bulb and gone downstairs with the ladder.
She is an elderly lady long past retirement. Has 2/3 heart conditions.
My sister - she is visiting
She is watering the plants...................................
I was a sleep but woke up when I heard the noise but was too late to stop her - she was at the bottom of the stairs- the noise I heard was her hitting the ladder on the ceiling. and ok she did it fine but WHY SHOULD SHE?
She isn't meant to strain herself.
I appreciate that to lot of people I am just making a fuss but she is my Mum and as much as she annoys the living !!!! out of me I want her safe and well.
If I didn't feel like I might chuck again I would be angry.
see you later

((Hugs)) Buffy. Hope you are feeling better soon.
It's a difficult one re. Your mother. On the one hand your mum should have watered the plants and your sister change the bulb... However, these parents of ours can be fiercely independent. And it could be that if sister offered, mum could have retorted how they're not helpless blah blah blahGE 36 *MFD may 2043

Hi Buffy
Hope you're feeling better soon. Can't believe the vet's bill - licence to print money is all I can say! Vets and dentists - all the same!I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0
