Lunar you are so right it SHOULD help with the weight loss BUT DD and I ate a bag of donuts whilst delivering:o .
I didn't do any deliveries today as I just couldn't face it. Had loads to do anyway as house was like a midden. All nice and tidy now though and loads of washing done and ironing. Sitting down now as whacked. Can't wait until I get rid of all these books lol as we can hardly get in the front door as I dont have a garage or anywhere to store them. Never again !!!!!!!
No spending today except for church collection.
Payday on Friday woohoo!! Definately not going hell for leather to pay things this month I amgoing to cut me some slack. Still going to be mega frugal but I want to concentrate on getting some pressies in for Christmas. Going to try and be really organised this year but I am absolutely not going OTT I am just going to really think about what I will buy everyone and do some hampers again. They went down a storm last year.
Thats my next challenge - to do Christmas in cash other than the 9 month interest free deal I just got for DS's pressies. I am getting so much satisfaction from being so tight lol.5 Year plan. April 2020 to June 2025- CC and mortgage free by time I'm 60

Hmm well dont I just feel like the big bad wolf:o .
Talked the kids into helping me out with the deliveries- ok I said I'd pay them. So what happens? All was going well until DD caught her finger in a letter box and BROKE it.:eek: .
Her gran said she was to ask me for compensation but I just told her she didnt finish the job and it was casual work so no pay lol. Was joking of course.
Really behind with the deliveries now though. Oh well too bad if they dont like it they can pick their damn books up. Kind of half wishing they would :rotfl: .
Paid another tenner off M&S today. Nearly under the £100.
Just looked at my total and I would just love to get that under £14k next month5 Year plan. April 2020 to June 2025- CC and mortgage free by time I'm 60

Hi mit
a friend of mine once delivered yellow pages and swore she would never do it again - it was such hard work. Have you finished yet??
Hope DD's finger is okay. When I first read it I thought she had broken the letter box:rolleyes: :rolleyes: at least broken fingers are free:D
Good luck with your xmas shopping.

She has broken her finger. Thank goodnesswe stay near the hospital as she was hysterical and I tookher straight there. I am going to the house where it happened tomorrow to tell them about it as their letter box is obviously dangerous and there are kids living there. I might just drop them a note as they might think I am being aggressive or something but I am more worried about other kids' fingers.
Havent finished unfortunately still have about 500 to do OMG!!! This area is definately a lot easier than the other ones though so hopefully be done by Friday. I want to pay for a wee patio area so that my DD can have a summer house built on it. She wants it to keep her rabbit in during the winter. You know I really think I have lost the plot. I have said I will give her money towards it for her Christmas. Oh well I will get the use of it too and it will look fab. Going to get it quite soon I think as my mate can get me a discount if I buy it soon.5 Year plan. April 2020 to June 2025- CC and mortgage free by time I'm 60

Hello birdies. If i were going to do deliveries I'd specify terraced houses only!

Evening all. I have M&S at under £100:j :j . Can't wait until I'm rid of it. Am still knackered. Went out straight from work tonight delivering and managed about 200 books. Only 250 to go. The street I did tonight had loads of flats with secure entries so I left the books at the door:o . I know you arent meant to do that but what the hell I would have killed myself climbing the stairs. 3 days till payday woohoo !!5 Year plan.
