Evening,
v bad backache sitting down has made it worse.
Could procrastinate for England. yesterday all sorts of things were far more important than work for example.
I was brave came home checked bank account.
paid 50 to one cc (regular pet spends every two months plus Amazon)
paid 31 to my 365 account
paid 19 to Tescos card.
need to keep 87 for minimum on big cc.
other than that bills are paid including my savings. I paid for both my shopping and petrol in cash.
Shopping 50 (honestly nuts but some were bulk buys plus 5 pounds off a 40 quid spend)
petrol 30.05
I think the last week of the month may have to go on the cc but that is ok as I will be paid and next month will pay off the "little spends CCs" (little spends who am I kidding!)
in too much pain need to have a bath or something. sadly have work to do.
GGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
love you all lots

No to the doctors, realistically it is going to have to wait till Mum comes back as you need to be on hold for ever.
to be honest I think the whole six hours sleeps, no decent diet etc is probably at the root of most of my problems.
SO.
Lent starts tomorrow.
was going to bed early tonight! ha. ha.
Aims
1. Give up Cherry Coke
2. Eat breakfast.
3. Eat 3 portions of fruit and veg a day
4. walk the dogs everyday. (they have a dog walker at the moment - don't worry they do get walks!)
5. Declutter some thing each day.
6. write something each day. (as in marking/masters/tefl not diary posts!)
I am also going to go to church. I don't know which one.
am so tired.
I sort of thought about doing this as a separate challenge but decided that would be a distraction!
best go to bed.
night all XXXNevertheless she persisted.0 -

Also the dog walking, got in too late tonight, so played with the dogs instead (brown paper packaging v funny) . Think I won't walk them on Tuesday and Wednesday, (they do get walked during the day and we have a huge garden) they are 12 hour days plus lots of work in the evening.
however I have done everything else

Sounds like a good plan to move forward with.
I am sick as a parrot of being tired, and the time of year doesnt help.Trying to shift that debt!0 -
Evening,
Not in a good place. Couldn't face skyping with Mum, house is a mess, 0 work done. animals all need cleaning out. have to plan lessons. must hoover.
need to finish sorting the kitchen. hungry. fed up. angry. need to change my sheets.
oh and I spent MONEY.
BIG time.
72 in M and S
35.50 in Asda.
= 1 bra, 8 knickers, 4 skirts, 2 tops.
truthfully my clothes, having had a big clean out are tatty, stained and a bit of a state. linings ripped and white marks on tops that are years old.
have done my washing on 50 degrees today, not remotely mse but needed to see if I could actually get a couple of my skirts clean and get the white marks out. (which it did for some.)
plus I am spending 60 on a new hoover.
(oh and I spent 36 in the Factory workshop. on "stuff". which I don't need. )
Mum can't carry the one we have upstairs and the one we have upstairs is now burning and not sucking.
If wait till pay day she won't "let me" and we will argue - not good plus she will insist on carrying the other hoover up....... Stubborn old people. great but annoying.
am a horrible person. am hungry and have just yelled at the dogs. no reason.
best go feed them.Nevertheless she persisted.0 -
Buffster xxxxxxxx
Sorry you're feeling crap. You're not a horrible person. You're someone have a rubbish day.
Sorry I'm not much help. I have a massive hangover and am close to tears, always really anxious when hungover. Last time I was like this was months ago, I'd forgotten how rubbish it is. Spent money I don't have last night, so that's making me feel guilty as hell too.
Sod the lot of it!! We will get through this stage and better days will be had xxxxxxxxxxxxxx2014 Frugal Living Challenge
