Well after being all full of beans yesterday, I've woken in a flat mood this morning, and I'm trying to talk myself out of it...!


Reading other people's diaries is very inspiring, but makes me feel I'm not really doing very much to get rid of my debt now its in a dmp and not much has changed in my daily life either.. So today i will allow myself to be a misog, but only if I draw up a plan of action to move things on a bit. It is unfortunate that I have 2 events this year that I am commited to do, total cost of these even though my mum has paid for the venice trip will still be in excess of £1k which I have saved/already paid for...


Am going away to plan.. and get on with my list of jobs....


And hooked dead fish out of tank.. wasn't his day either...

Puzzcat

All well with the world again today, not sure why my mood was low yesterday, but hey ho, that's life..


So yesterday managed the food shop, sooo many people in the supermarket you'd think we will be without access to food for weeks the way some were shopping...!! Lots of credit cards being used I noticed.. not me, I'm a cash only girl....:rotfl:


Failed to pay in my 50p's due to the huge queue in the BS, I'll do that next week..


Did get dd's bedding washed and line dried... :T


Did get Oh's suit into the dry cleaners and paid for it so don't have to worry about having the cash next week.. :T


Outstanding jobs.. still got to plant out seedlings, clean house, washing as per.. ironing, play mum taxi, cook dinner etc.etc...


Have done one poll survey this morning, now on £8.40... hope to get next payout by end of may... well I can hope...... still need to do other survey sites..


Have done banking and moved £15 from wedding fund into bank account to pay for the new scales I bought yesterday as old one's had given up the ghost... I can't do ww on my own without knowing my weight..


So weighed in this morning at 10.5... 5lbs over goal and want to shift this before Venice in 3 weeks time.....


Right best get on.....

Hi Rags,


Thanks for popping by..! You are doing well with mysurvey, I still haven't got back into them since they changed the website.. Must do as I get offered loads and £60 isn't to be sniffed at..!! I shall make it my mission to do some over this weekend....


Hope all well with you and those debts still going down..

Puzzcat

One load of washing done and line dried, loving the nice weather..!! Have cleaned the bathroom and hoovered the house and washed the wooden floors... Replenished the dishwashers salt and rinse aid and cleaned the hob.. dropped dd off for the afternoon and will pick her up later.. Have a friend popping by for coffee shortly so not sure how much more of my list will get done today...!!!


Am cooking duck breasts, homemade dauphinoise potatoes and mange tout tonight and may add a cheeky garlic tomato or 2 as well... will keep the vampires away....


No money news.. apart from the £10 given to dd, hope to get some change, no other spends planned here...

Washing is on the line, its a bit cold here today mind but the sun's out... not sure of my plans yet.. I will be back...

Puzzcat

Already had to edit my freezer inventory after bumping into yellow stickered food at sainsbobs.. so also now got 2 x 2 packs of seabass fillets, 2 poussin.. and a pack of richmond sausages.. (think bbq in the summer...)


Not much achieved today, had a browse around the charity shops but no purchases made. Will dig something out the wardrobe for tonight. Really looking forwards to my night out with an old friend, we last ate at this restuarant together for my 18th birthday. so just a few years ago.....:eek:... Also my OH is dropping me and she's giving me a lift home so a fortune saved in cab fares.. I was toying with driving otherwise...


So I have £70 in my purse.. it is an expensive restaurant, but hoping not to spend more than £40.. I will report back tomorrow....

Puzzcat

£40 spent, fab evening and £30 still in the pot for the week...:D

Puzzcat

Can't believe its monday again already and back to work tomorrow.. boo.... I've had a lovely 6 days off, got lots of little chores and jobs done and managed to not be ill as well....!


Lovely night out on saturday, more spendy than my usual night out but it was a one off and no more nights out booked at the moment..


Venice in 3 weeks today.. I get the daily reminder from my mum, bless her... Have checked us in online and found my mozzy repellent spray and that's as far as i've got so far...! OH asked last night if I needed some spending money for my trip.... So I said 'yes please;.. well I was hardly going to say no.....


Internet still a problem and BT are coming out on wednesday, I've dilly and dallied around with it because BT charge you £129.99 :eek: if the fault is yours and not there external lines.. but AOl assure me it is the line that is causing the problem, the chap this morning sounded quite proud that he could see the internet had dropped 30 times already today... :eek: Luckily I can still jump on my neighbours, well actually I think we're on there's most the time at the moment.. again OH has saved the day by saying he will pay if it comes to it.. so wednesday we will hopefully find out the problem...


Very busy end of month at work, I have loads of visits to do, so if you see me chatting away on here, send me off with a flea in my ear...!!


Today I have hoovered again, line dried one load of washing, cleaned the bathroom, put petrol in the car, planted out my baby seedlings and I've got the ironing and some 'work' to do.. OH is at footie, dd is watching films so i will tackle the ironing with a good dose of come done with me a bit later...
