Cheery's buttling diary: tea in one hand, plant pot in the other, running shoes on

Mr Cheery seems to be very busy these days.

Oh dear about the laptop lead. At least you have one on its way to you now though.

:j to a mortgage refund

Enjoy your course x

Thanks Starnac! Mr Cheery is indeed very busy this week - tis unusual for him to actually put on two gigs himself in a week though (he might DO two, but arranged by someone else, but both of these have been CD launches, so they've done everything themselves, including all the recording etc for the CDs, artwork, ticket sales, decorations etc...) Saw him go out at 8am this morning and he looked exhausted, poor thing. Suspect he's going to need a week off!

Annoyed at myself for being late for workshop this morning - didn't have time to WALK 20 mins so paid £1.70 to go three stops on the bus :eek: :eek:

So altogether today

£3.40 bus fares
£10 new socks for Mr Cheery (actually, they're not coming out of my fun money!! but if I stick it here I'll remember to note them elsewhere :rotfl: )
£3 fruit from the market
£2 fabric
£8 hair dye and face powder

You lot have got a LOT to answer for :rotfl: I was walking round town - been looking for a pair of sandals for AGES, and was looking for a shrug to go over my corset for tonight...

kept seeing things I liked and would have bought previously but just couldn't bring myself to spend :rotfl: Probably a good thing, and I actually DID spend enough eventually :rotfl: Very nearly didn't buy the hair dye, but I want to be all glamourous tonight and mine is looking rather flat and dull at the minute - bit of a nondescript cut, so some black cherry dye will liven it up

Just having a cuppa before I start trying to make a small space to sit down later and start beautifying myself Tis looking like I might be wearing a home made black pencil skirt, home made lace shrug, corset made by a pal years ago (turquoise) and gold shoes from a charity shop :rotfl: Does that get a prize as an MSE glamourous outfit?? :money: :rotfl:

Cheery_Daff

I looked SO glamourous last night :rotfl: :rotfl: Got a lift there and back too so didn't spend anything

Not like today Braved the chaos that is Meadowhell on a Saturday afternoon to go bra-and-sandal shopping. Boux Avenue delivered as usual, and it turns out I had £4.10 on my 'VIP' card so bra only cost £13.90 :j

Everlasting Sandal Quest (as it's become known in our house :rotfl: ) is still everlasting - don't think they've yet invented the sandals I actually want :rotfl:

Quiet evening planned now, thank goodness!

Cheery_Daff

Right, just adding up last few days and doing a bit of shuffling...

£3.57 added to VSP Now standing at £53.46 :j :j

Slight panic when I realised the bills account had £300 less in than it should have done :eek: but then realised we paid for the print run of one of Mr Cheery's band CDs, so need to get this back! Phew!

Bought Mr Cheery some socks the other day and was busy adding it to joint account spreadsheet when I thought 'how come his underwear is coming out of the joint funds when mine isn't??' so am claiming my new bras (total of £35) out of the joint fund too :rotfl: :rotfl:

Also reclaiming £17 for a book I spent for my course - I've decided I'm keeping a separate virtual pot for course stuff as I want it to all be paid for by £2 coin savings and stuff I've sold, not joint or fun spends.

So altogether that means sig updated to say

Fun spends £131
4 NSDs - after my initial flurry of enthusiasm this has all gone a bit wrong, will have to get back on the case! :eek:

Good job I did all that shuffling or I would have been over my fun budget and that wouldn't do at all

Cheery_Daff

Ooh, also meant to say mortgage refund cheque now showing in bank so have transferred £21 to long term savings fund :j :j :j :j

Added £1277.76 now this year! :j :j Not too bad Of course, there's been plenty spent on the car and holiday :rotfl: :rotfl: But I figure as long as there's still stuff being added we're going in the right direction and keeping track gives me an incentive to add little bits like that straight to savings rather than frittering them away!

Cheery_Daff

:j :j NSD number 5 today! :j

£1.50 meeting donation

and damn it, also £4 food so maybe i can't count it :mad: but then i did have an envelope for food so maybe i can, but then there was actually nothing left in the envelope so maybe it does :rotfl: :rotfl:

starnac

Your outfit does sound glamorous. Any chance of a pic here*

That is a good amount of money added to your savings. Well done.

Ooh a band CD. That sounds exciting.

Did you count your NSD yesterday or did you decide against it?

*other social media sites are available

Doobop

I think the only thing to do about the sandal dilemma is to make them yourself - you seem like an inventive sort of person. Then launch Cheery Sandals and make a fortune?

Cheery_Daff

What a brilliant idea Doobop :j :j :j In fact Mr Cheery bought me a book about making paper shoes a while back and I haven't made any yet - maybe that's just what I've been looking for?! :rotfl:

Sadly my inventiveness doesn't extend to sandals and I resorted to buying these Oh dear!

So that's £50 to declare, which takes me well over my target Plus another £59 train ticket to visit a pal in July

Today wasn't toooo bad - £2 meeting donation, £12 on fruit and veg, and £3 on inhaling 3 chocolate bars at the train station it's been a long couple of weeks! :rotfl: :rotfl:

No idea how to get a pic up here starnac, will investigate!
