2014 - keep crunching away

DebtFree2012

Happy Monday everyone.

Back in the office every day this week. I don't feel as bad as I thought. Loads and loads to do. I have visitors all week and I have to sit in on their many meetings to make sure they behave. This is good as my knowledge is increased based on their meeting type and should help me with work in the future, however it's bad as means I don't get my real work done.

Money wise I put £50 diesel in which will see me until the weekend. I spent £12 ish at Ald1 but will need to go again mid week. I'm keeping a list near me whilst working as things I need to do keep popping in my head so at least being here captures them too.

I've revived my old thread for non standard jobs which is working well on keeping me motivated there.

So a busy day ahead (and already). Happy day's everyone.

I don't know why I read the newspapers, they only upset on enrage me.

Work is going well so far. I understand the new things I've taken on making it easier overall.

Accounts looking ok and no more spending today other than diesel which is already done.

Mam's picking up after bad morning. Keep thinking positive.

Afternoon diary go-oers.


Taking 5 out of hectic day. Can't paint the front door today which was supposed to be doing so I'm going to get that cupboard finished finally. Tea is on cooking nicely plus an extra tea for another night and the meat is out for tomorrow's tea. This is super organised for me so am feeling rather chuffed with myself.


I've put another load of washing in and that's the last of the clothes for today - will try and stay on top for the rest of the week. Now I'm back in the office every day, I'm going to try and get any housework done on my 2 quiet morning's of the week. Hopefully that will suffice tho I have my doubts!


Tonight I'll go to the farm after tea, ride, muck out, turn out overnight for pony and leave big girl in. Hoping pony will be good for DD and that the big girl will jump nicely. Looking forward to seeing my friends down there too.


Long day in the office tomorrow so will try and make sure there's nothing to do after work except chill out before the 7-10 shift.

Morning

Lovely night last night at the farm. Horses were good thoough I couldn't see a tride for love nor money - hey ho, days like that and so on.

Money wise, today is a NSD and will remain so. School are asking for £7 to a school trip so I'll tell DD to pass that letter to DH tonight I will be going to Ald1 tomorrow so it won't be a NSD tho I hope to keep spends down.

Busy busy at work which is making the days go fast but the deadline is looming. Brought a salad in for lunch and can't wait for that as so hungry!

Otherwise all quiet here which is nice.

Lots of work completed today - feels like a good day in that respect. I've managed to do my non standard job of the day (per my other thread) plus a but more so I am really pleased there. It's going to take me a couple of years to get organised to move house which is just as well as I've got a couple of years spare before the debts paid.

Good Morning!

I'm feeling super happy today - go figure when it's my first week back in the office! I guess trying to declutter, stay motivated and positive is working

A busy day ahead today so I shall keep this short and sweet. I have money in my purse for groceries tonight at Ald1 and no other spends apart from that. Farm tonight and an hour or so's work.

I shall do a NSJ when I get in or tonight in between farm and work - it's all slowly coming together which must be adding to my happy mood

Pay day next week when I can pay a chunk to the dreaded debt - it will be gone, not today, not tomorrow, but one day!!!!! (23rd Mar 2018 to be precise!)

How is the big girl doing now? I can never see a stride either - I just kick and hang on lol.

DebtFree2012

HaHa well that is what I will be doing tonight - I got myself in too much of a tizz however the good news is that despite my riding, the big girl jumped everything I put in front of her and somoe decent sizes too (for me!) so despite having an ideal excuse to stop, she took me over them. I was really proud of her. Jumping tonight then resting tomorrow I think.

Just got talking to someone at work who I've never met before and she is horsey to she is saving for her own and is looking for livery locally in a couple of years (long story) so ultimately I have my first customer when I open my own yard wahooooo (if only life were so simple but it sounds FAB)

Morning world

Well it's almost Friday. It's been my first week back so I'm contemplating how I feel.

Positives: It's been no where near as bad as I thought it would be. I've had plenty of work to get through (still have). I've enjoyed my work. I feel more organised with things - ie I can write lists and update my spreadsheet inbetween working so I am on top of things in that respect (school performances, upcoming events, horse dates etc). Also not had chance to spend anything

Negatives: Despite feeling organised elsewhere I've not managed to stay on top of the house so the washing's piled up again (had it all down at the weekend), poor DH has been neglected if you know what I mean and as the week goes on I look worse and worse so I have neglected myself too lol.

I'll continue to add to this today and tomorrow as it helps me to reflect.

Money wise - went to Ald1 last night and spent £44 - this included a hose for the horses as we're bathing them at the weekend so £34 worth of food. I got 3 boxes of cereals and butter which I always find bump the price up. The rest was mostly fresh things and packed lunch items for school. Paid with cash from my purse so no hit to the bank account just yet.

I had am amazing night at the yard last night - both horses on form and DH came to watch and was impressed so I was really pleased. DS came too and was good - even more impressed!

Swagbucks - I have a measly 34 points! Can't seem to get anywhere.
