Verbatim I am very tempted at times believe me. My kitchen is falling to bits and very horrible. The big problem is that I keep changing my mind about what I want to do. My house is small although the kitchen is generous and I am very tempted to open up the whole of the lower floor except for a small room as a utility and loo room. 2 weeks ago though I wanted to build an extension :rotfl:. Hopefully by the time I am ready to get it done I will know exactly what I want.
Busy day today and I was so exhausted that I just came straight home and fell asleep on the couch. I missed my zumba and my slimming class so I just had a sausage supper for my dinner as I was home alone.
My monthly cable bill was £107 this month. This is for tv, phone and broadband but I am horrified by how much it has gone up and I am definitely going to be looking into that and see how I can reduce it.
Nothing else paid today. Just ticking along. I am shattered though as sat up chatting to dd when she got home last night and still up at 6.45 this morning. Nice early night tonight will sort me out.
DS is starting college tomorrow so it's all very exciting. I've taken day off and whilst he is away I will do a cleaning shift and be back for him coming home.

Evening folks. Funny day today. Dropped DS off at station at 7.45am and headed off to do a cleaning shift. Was finished by 12.30 and came home. DD was away to work and doesnt finish until 10pm. DS has gone straight to work from college and I will pick him up at 11. So I'm home on my ownsome and not sure that I like it very much
. I've eaten all day and had a nap. I've lay like a sloth on the couch. Tidied up and cleared out some paperwork but really been lazy. Well except for the 5 hours cleaning this morning :rotfl:. As I said yesterday all change in my life again and I am going to have to ensure I make the most of it and not just sit about. So today will be treated as a special treat to myself but I will make plans for any future days I am home alone as I'm not too fussed.
Spent about £10 on carp between last night and today. Didnt go to slimming club and am back on the slippery slope. Need to sort myself out tomorrow as I don't want to be putting weight back on. I have a very busy weekend ahead of me so I better ger super organised so I sy=tick to plan and also manage to get the work done that I will be bringing home.
So I hope you are all well and happy today xx5 Year plan. April 2020 to June 2025- CC and mortgage free by time I'm 60

Good idea INOD that's just what I'll do.
Paid £50 off tonight from money received for tomorrow's shift. Going to get a nice early start as one house already empty so we can start as early as we want.
Lots of laundry done tonight and DD will press it tomorrow in exchange for £20. Worth the money to alleviate the stress as I have 2 more lots coming in tomorrow and I am also working on Sunday :eek:. £240 in my pocket though so it will be worth it.
DS is exhausted tonight and very moany. He has had college for 3 days and it has wiped him out as he has done very little for months. Last night I asked him to empty the dishwasher and he didn't so between the dirty dishes lying about ( because dishwasher was full) and the clean dishes in the DW when I made dinner tonight I only had 2 dinner plates left. DS got his served to him on a casserole lid :rotfl:. Think I may have got my message across :rotfl:. Dishwasher now emptied and refilled.

Oh I did enjoy it. A little bit too much I may add. I did however stick to my £50 budget which I am very happy about. None of my friends had been in a limousine before so it was great fun.
Been up since 8am and washing machine, dryer and press have been going since. Almost done now so I can get the laundry all packed away and get my house back to some kind of normal.
Working at cleaning at 4pm so will need to shake my shimmy and get moving. I'm bleeding shattered though.5 Year plan. April 2020 to June 2025- CC and mortgage free by time I'm 60

Evening all. I didn't actually sit down last night until 10pm- well I kind of fell down and then got back up quite quickly and went to bed. My feet and legs were so sore I had to take painkillers so I could sleep. It's fab getting a night out but difficult to catch up and I am tired for days. I don't care though it was worth it for the great laugh and great company.
Finishing off some drying tonight and then tomorrow night I will start on my next batch of laundry and get it ready for pressing on Wednesday night.
I have lost the plot again with the eating. I'm getting really annoyed at myself. No money to go and buy fruit etc as DD owes me a fortune and I am skint until Friday when she pays me back. Also got a call from CSA today to confirm my claim was ending and to inform me that I am still due some money. They are going to get in touch with my ex and see if he will pay it without them having to arrest his wages again. So happy to get to the end of the eternal fight for maintenancesuch a relief that it's over and will never stress me again.
Things will be quietening down again work wise ( thankfully). The money is fabulous but I am getting tired and am looking forward to October as it really quietens down then. My house may get some work done on it then.
Made chicken tonight with a maggi bag thing. Garlic flavour and it was delish. We all loved it.
So chilling out now watching some telly whilst waiting on dryer finishing. Have a lovely evening folks5 Year plan. April 2020 to June 2025- CC and mortgage free by time I'm 60

evening folks. My signature is getting rather exciting. It's making me smile reading it. I might just manage my wee challenge to pay off this card by end Jan. I will try my best anyway that's for sure.
Went to slimming club tonight and haven't been for 2 weeks. I have been on a journey of self sabotage and put on 7lbs yet again. I need to stop this nonsense. Went to Aldi and stocked up on fruit and veg so I will have a go again tomorrow.
Busy day in work today but am happy with the results so it's all good. I'm thinking about asking for compressed hours and to see if I could have a Monday off. This means I could do my self employed work over 3 days rather than running about crazy to get it done over 2 days. I'll apply anyway and see what happens
£90 paid off CC today. I should hopefully make enough this weekend to get into the 13's but I'll not count my chickens yet. My drinks fridge is being picked up on Friday night as well so that'll be some money towards my Argos account for the furniture we bought. Payments will definitely slow down a bit now as not quite so busy but I'll still use every penny I earn and watch the figures go down.
Sitting in my pj's and washing machine is humming away and so is dryer. DS is away to gym and DD has a date so it's nice and peaceful. Going to have another wee early night and get caught up with my sleep. Have a great evening xx5 Year plan. April 2020 to June 2025- CC and mortgage free by time I'm 60

Hello folks. Bit of a poorly MIT tonight. Not sure if I am just knackered but sickly feeling on and off all day and dodgy tummy pains. Been sleeping since I came in from cleaning stint this afternoon. Just chilling now.
I have so much washing to get done it is ridiculous. Tonight I am catching up on household laundry before I start on work stuff. There is no huge rush for any of it but I will work my way through ASAP so it is away from my floor :eek:. Never mind. Between cleaning today and tomorrow and also laundry there will be another £240 earned so it's all good.
I put in an application to compress my days. I'll see how that goes. Fingers crossed it will be approved. I would love an extra day off from the hellhouse. I know the 4 days would be long but at least I would only need to go in for 4 days rather than 5.
I'll be impatiently waiting on my cash accounts being paid this week as then I will defo be in the 13's and I cannot wait to see that number.
Going to kick back now and other than chase washing between machines I am going to just sit and watch rubbish telly5 Year plan. April 2020 to June 2025- CC and mortgage free by time I'm 60
