Milann it was fab. I also love Edinburgh but hardly ever go there. Only about 90 minutes from here but time is limited
Not much to tell you guys. I was working today and went on my own so that'll be a wee £70 approx for CC. I also worked Wednesday so another wee £50 I will get at end of month. Starting to pick up again now so need to get my head into the right space to deal with it all :rotfl:. This is my year folks, I can feel it
My house is looking very tired just now so DD is going to paint my hall and living room. I won £25 on lotto last week so I spent it on new voiles and cushions. I know I should have paid it off of card but I can only do this if my surroundings are okay. And okay is what they are. Nowt fancy in here. Nice and comfortable though so that's all that matters.
Bought wardrobe doors the other day for DD's room. My friend's son is going to build me the wardrobe for her but I got the doors for £30 which is an amazing bargain. Will need to wait a couple of months before I get them done as DD wants them for her birthday in April so I will get that organised. To buy new, these doors cost £80 each so I just had to get them.
Feeling a bit poo tonight now that I have sat down. My chest is uncomfortable and I am almost certain I have the start of a chest infection. I hope I just fight it off as I have no time to be sick.
Hope you guys are all well. I am now looking forward to a very quiet weekend. Wonder if I'll manage to get it :cool:5 Year plan. April 2020 to June 2025- CC and mortgage free by time I'm 60

Feel much better Lucielle. Had a very quiet Sunday watching films and chasing washing around machines. Ended up very bored mind you as I am not used to doing nothing. I forced myself to sit though as life is just about to go off the chart busy again . £67 paid to CC today. This CC almost gone and only a few pounds and i will be back into the 12's, so it's all good xx5 Year plan. April 2020 to June 2025- CC and mortgage free by time I'm 60

Evening folks. I'm off work until Tuesday. Had yesterday and today off as well which has been great. Started to refurbish my lounge but trying to do it on a shoestring.
Going on a wee cheap holiday in August to friend's flat in Murcia so I am really excited about that. Hoping it will kick start me on weight loss again. I really don't want to be this weight when I go away. I have about 25 weeks to get myself in shape. Today has been a good one so far.
Got 2 nights out this weekend. Going to drive tomorrow night but going for a meal so will be a bit costly. Saturday night I am going to a candle party so no doubt that'll cost me a few quid as well.
So not much more to report. Working tomorrow Saturday and Monday in cleaning job so will be busy weekend. All good though for the debt repayments.5 Year plan. April 2020 to June 2025- CC and mortgage free by time I'm 60

Verbatim. a candle party is where they sell candles and holders for candles at hugely inflated prices and you feel obliged to buy something
. I spent £27 and then won £25 in the raffle so bought some more. Stuff is lovely but way overpriced. We had a great wee night though.
My BOS card is repaid :j:j. Down to 2 cards now but next one is just over £8k. Would be amazing if I could get rid of that this year. Managed to pay off BOS as planned without paying any interest. 0% for £3.5k on next card ends in May so I need to hammer it down as much as possible so I can then do another transfer. I'll clear as much as I can in the meantime though. I am however in the 12k's. Not be long until single figures.
Due £220 cleaning and laundry money from 1 client this week and also another £20 laundry money from another. I am exhausted though. My body is screaming against these cleaning shifts but I'll get used to them again soon. I hope everyone is good xx5 Year plan. April 2020 to June 2025- CC and mortgage free by time I'm 60

That's great MIT. You'll have to update your signature to show you're in the 12s. You work amazingly hard and have done so much recently to bring down the debt hugely. So you're looking at a dfd of just a year now. Wow, that's amazing. Look after yourself though.
Thanks for the info on the candle party! In the scheme of things not too much financial damage for a good might with friends.CCs @0% £24k Dec 05 £19,621.41 Au £13400 S 12600 Oct £11,981 £9481 £7500 Nov £7250 D £7100 Jan 6950 F £5800 Mar£5400 May £4830 June £4660 July £4460 Aug £3200, S £900, £0 18/9/07 DFW Nerd 0420 -
Well done MiT on getting rid of another card :T

Evening folks. Hope everyone is well. Not been on for ages as been getting used to new hours and being back doing 2 jobs and also had the cold from H*ll to deal with but :j feeling much better and also no cleaning this weekend so it's all good.
Paid over £400 so far this month to CC's, Not too bad. Got a few small shifts this month but in April things start getting crazy but I'll earn loads and get loads of my 0% deal paid off before it ends in May. I've updated signature at last
Both kids working tonight so house is nice and peaceful. I've changed my lounge about and changed the accent colours from red to duck egg blue so it is looking great and very chilled. I even bought myself a lovely bunch of flowers today and they look fab and cheerful. Life is good. ( scared to say that mind you in case it goes belly up)
Started a competition in my work about who can take the silliest selfie. So funny. Any nice ones I'm being sent I am returning with a big rejected sign on them but some of them are hilarious.
Can't decide what to have for my dinner now as I had it planned for the three of us and it's just me. I'll end up with a pot noodle or something.
New neighbours moved in a couple months ago round the corner and the other night there was a gang of thugs in our street running about with knives and fighting. I had to pick that minute to come home didn't I :eek:. Was trying to get my house door open as they were all running about at my gate and someone had locked it and left key in back of door. I had visions of me being stabbed on my doorstep and becoming another sad statistic. What in God's name is happening to the world. I live in a nice quiet area.
Anyway hoping for a quiet wee night tonight and a chill xx5 Year plan. April 2020 to June 2025- CC and mortgage free by time I'm 60
