    Hi Puzz,

    Amazing news about the MOT and having money left over to pay for the Tax etc.

    We have two MOT's to get through during the next two weeks and I don't think it will be such good news, so keep your fingers crossed for me.

    Hope all is ticking along well.

    xxxxx

    :jWow lots of vistors.. thank you...


    Sorry I have been a little absent, life's just plodding along... I have been working evenings when I haven't been walking so not been around much....


    Not looking forward to this weekend and can't wait for monday....


    I am looking after next doors cats including the broken one....
    DD is going to a 'gig' in london..... :eek: I am leaving it to the parents of the other child to sort out transport arrangements, I go off into a spin if I think about it.....!!


    Sunday I am doing a boot fair so a nice 5am start for me....


    So assuming all goes okay, I have booked Monday off to recover from the weekend...!


    No money news.. Payday on Monday.. :j and any money we make from the boot fair is to use buying holiday clothes, mainly for dd who has none...!!!


    5 weeks today until our holiday...:j


    Walking tonight, think I will probably stay the same weight this week but I don't mind that.....


    Right off to work shortly..

    Hi Karen, thanks for popping in !!


    :jSOoo.. its monday, hurrah.. and I'm not at work.... was absolutely dead on my feet last night.. as was dd after her epic day/night out on saturday...


    So glad that weekend is done with...


    The positives..


    DD and friend navigated the big city alone during the day and after 11pm..:eek: Finally got home at midnight.. They had a brilliant time. I didn't ....I worried the whole evening particularly when the girls mobiles gave up the ghost,... but all well and hopefully not to be repeated for awhile...


    Up at 5am yesterday.. :eek: Mde £80 profit after float and entry fee so well pleased with that.. the biggest sale was £3 and lots of 20p and 50p items so lots of buyers but small spends.. and now my house is a little emptier...My bin is full and I have some bags to go to the charity shop..


    Looked after the stepcat/and his brother and all good with them, handed back the keys and responsibility at 4 yesterday..


    Its payday.. always good....!!! Got to go to the bank and pay in the cash from yesterday, also the float and have bagged up my 20p's and 50p pots so have got £130 to go into the holiday shopping fund.. now up to £240 for dd's clothes..


    No exercise done apart from 6 hours of sorting on saturday, up and down the loft ladder and the stairs.. might get out for a walk tonight...


    Stayed the same weightwise on friday so need to do better this week....


    Right off to do some more jobs..


    Love Puzz. x

    Payday for me tomorrow puzz, hate the way it's spent before I even get it!

    Hoping to clear the last of my debt tomorrow, it will mean I'm skinto for the rest of July and then I will concentrate on paying bf back for bits and bobs that I've borrowed here and there.

    You're doing so well. Xx

    :eek:How hot is it...... Now I love a little sunshine, whilst laying on a sunbed near a pool, but this is not working weather.. even with my newly topped up air con, I can't funtion in this heat.. so I'm not....


    Have updated the freezer inventory and haven't been buying anywhere near as many yellow stickered items over the last 6 weeks.. still got some older stuff to eat mind, so need to get some of it onto my meal plans...


    Got car air con done yesterday was suppose to cost £45.99 but the lovely man only charged me £38.. also got a free coffee from a friends coffee shop whilst I waited...


    Payday came and went and took nearly all my money with it... oh well all bills covered and that's the main thing...!!


    Still sticking with Sainsbobs for my shopping this year, now up to £70 in nectar points.. hope to be at £100 by christmas... Not all from shopping I must say, I also do surveys and use all my extra points vouchers I'm given.. they also have been doing triple points on my weekly deliveries so that's added up..


    Right off to drink a nice hot cup of tea.... certainly not walking in this weather....will be a night stuck to the sofa watching the tv...

    it's too hot.

    I'm a ball of sweat, it's minging. I look around and see all these glamorous looking people, and then I remember that I'm just sweaty.

    Gross! Stay cool Puzz. xx

    :j Its Friday.. always best to start with a positive....


    The Good...


    Lost another 1lb... probably sweat.. :eek: ... Only walked once in the week due to the extreme temperatures....


    20th payment has gone to SC and so I have amended my signature... Now in the £48's...:T And nearly at the 20% paid mark...


    Nothing planned for the weekend so house stuff/walking and relaxing is planned...


    Less than 4 weeks until holiday.....


    The Bad..


    The car... Now we have a creaking noise.. its was so loud yesterday I thought the bottom of the car was going to fall off:eek:.. Possible ball joint/arm/some old link.. anyhow's have booked it into garage on Monday.... Also discussed with Mother about extending my loan if needs be, I can't keep throwing money at my £500 motor.. its 14 years old, low mileage.. why oh why didn't I buy a new car with some of my debt... .never mind I'm sure all will come right... would rather not borrow more as I was looking forward to finishing that loan end of next year...


    The weather.... Please can we have our usual UK weather back.. I don't like it...


    That's about it...


    Enjoy your friday and have a fab weekend...


    Love Puzz. x
