My road to being a millionaire - I wish

At least you won something, the luckiest I have been with them is £1! I think I seriously need to work on this meal plan idea, we've fell of the wagon this month and besides it sounds exciting.

Can't wait for my Cash ISA details to come through so I can start my house deposit fund and hopefully eventually get on the property ladder.

well it certainly wasn't a no spend today! Took son and his pal to the pics as I had promised this and that cost me £14. Paid £4.80 for drinks but had taken eats with me. Went to ALDI and spent £3.52. Was affronted cos I tried to pay with my card and it was rejected. . Had another one though. I thought I had a tenner in that account but obviously not. Never mind. Been a long time since that happened to me. Just shows how far off the track I have strayed when I didn't know to the penny what I had in my account. Hopefully getting organised again will stop that happening again. Got one item selling already on e-bay and a couple of watchers. Have put them on for 7 days so plenty of time. Going for a bath as my heating got fixed today so I have hot water again after two weeks without . Ok am away to soak my weary bones

Evening all. Spent £4.50 yesterday on slimming club and no spend today :j . Loving it! Am mega tired tonight as work is sooooo warm it is unbearable. No air con. Not allowed to open the windows incase we damage our ears ! We are frying. Was 86 degrees in the office today. Failed 1 part of my last assignment so have to rewrite it soon. I have another one to do as well. I have a meeting tomorrow I need to prepare for and I am drained lol.
Lost 5 and a half pounds last night so am well pleased with that. I have decided that I am going to do a wee blog on my Bebo account for my weight loss to encourage me on my way. Nearly 4 weeks into the kids holidays and still surviving :rotfl: . Just ! The weather until this week has been mince. I stop next Friday again for 2 weeks so am really looking forward to that. I hope you are all well. x

Yay another no spend day today. I have been pretty organised this week so have managed to not spend that much.Might actually manage to pay something to Argos this week.:j . Kids are moaning mind you cos there are no goodies in the house. Must admit to having a mooch myself to see what there is and hey , there's nowt :rolleyes: . Plenty for meals but no snacky things other than fruit. Well I have one item selling on e-bay for 99p. Wow!! Was well peed off when I went on e-bay as I noticed my 100% feedback has gone down due to neutral comments. Am furious as the comments were so cr*p. Probably won't sell anything now.
Am very tired tonight so will be hitting the mattress very soon. Nice long weekend for me this week as there is a folk festival on here over the weekend and I am going to it on Sunday night so have taken Monday off to recover. I am a 2 can Dan ( get drunk easy) so will no doubt suffer on Monday. Then 4 days and stop for another 2 weeks :j . Can't wait. I have written my list tonight for my shopping and it shouldn't be too sore on my purse this week xx

Mine have been at my Mum's KP as I was working so she has been feeding them every half hour :rotfl: . She moans about it but she buys goodies for weeks in advance for them so I am not taking her on. Had to buy petrol today. Was down by 6p per litre from last time ( phew) and I was bad and bought 4 apples at £2.69 from Marks but OMG they are delish. No other spends though so not too bad. Might go into ASDA later and do my shopping. I'll see if I can be bothered. I have my list written so I'm ready for go. Am knackered in this heat. It is so sunny and nice here. x

Went to Morrisons last night instead of Asda. I know they are more expensive but I mainly wanted fresh foods and I just don't think Asda cut it with their fruit/ veg and meat. Spent £73. A bit much but I bought loads of fruit and cold meat so should hopefully do us all week. Not spent anything today :j . I've managed a few nsd's this week so hopefully I will keep that up. Have spent the day working about the house/garden and playing games with DS. DD has her friends up so she is fine. Been a lovely day. Great having time to spend with the kids. They are off to their dads tomorrow so I can get some me time then and going out tomorrow night so all in all it should be a nice day. x

Well hey there. Made a grand profit of about £3. Only sold 2 items out of 12 and they were really good items as well. But never mind cos :j:j I called tax credits and gave them my end of year amounts ( although I already did it in April) and I have over £300 paid into my account in arrears. Yeeha!!! Am well pleased. I will wait on the assessment coming in and just double check it before I spend anything but that means I can pay off ARGOS with no problems this month and get 6 months tax for car without touching my wages. My smile is about a foot wide.
Had a day off today as I was at the local folk festival last night and expected to be under the weather today. Had a few drinks but didnt go OTT so was fine this morning. Weather is absolutely fab so I collected the kids from my mum's and took them and my niece up to Luss and sat on the beach all afternoon. Ok then they sat on the beach and I sat under a tree.:o . I get way too burnt in the sun so I tend to stay in the shade with the dogs. Fab day and I wish I could have many more like it. Hope you are all okay xx
