My road to being a millionaire - I wish

millionaire_in_training

lol @ Red. I have never been underweight in my life. I reckon I was born a size 10 and just got bigger :mad: .

Still managing to eat healthily so thats good. I had to buy bananas today as I had run out .£1.45 in Marks ( it's in the garage so easy to get to) but they were organic and absolutely delicious.£30 on petrol so hopefully that will last until the end of the month. I have £180 in my account that I am dying to pay off of a debt but need to keep it incase I need it for kitchen. Would be great if I dont have much more to pay to my kitchen other than my excess then that money could pay for my flooring . I would then do this :j .

I have a really busy month for the next month as far as birthdays etc go. My niece is on Monday. I got her 2 designer tops in M&M's sale. Brother in law is on 25th - also a top from m&m. My brother is 40 on 6th Feb. I have got him a terramundi, a Rockport cardy and am buying him a cake. My fave aunties 60th is on the 9th so I am also buying her a cake. There is a retirement in my work. I have a 3 day seminar to attend. GULP !!

Will have to be another lean month next month. Never mind at least Feb is a short one for me. Kids are becoming cereal-aholics cos there is naff all else worth snacking on in the house hehe. Anyway am off to do my clicks and then bed as i am mega tired tonight x

:j :beer: woohoo insurance co are paying for kitchen. They called me today and said they were sending their own company out to check the damage. I asked why this was necessary as it wasn't as if I was a persistent claimer and I had already booked the joiner for Friday. Lass checked with her boss and they are sending the cheque out immediately. It just goes to show that it is worthwhile querying them ( politely of course). So kitchen worktops should be finished on Friday and I will decorate it over the weekend and get vinyl ordered for fitting ASAP. Am all happy now .

I think my wee hamster fudge is sick. He is nearly 2 and old age is definately setting in. I always swore I would never get pets and now have a rabbit and hamster :rolleyes: . I will be sad if he snuffs it and am worried he is suffering.

Didnt spend much today £2.03 on cheese. We all took packed lunches but someone stole DS's :eek: . I must be making his lunches way too nice. School had to give him a lunch so I owe them for that :mad: .

Loan comes out tomorrow but probably won't make too much difference to overall balance as loads of it wil be interest. Am interested to see just how much of my £157 actually comes off of the total. I hope you are all well x

Good news on the insurance MIT. And fingers crossed for Fudge. I am such a sucker for animals its tragic, get horribly upset over them. Can't watch wildlife documentries because something always dies - March of the Penguins, OH had to keep telling me when I could look because I was hiding behind a pillow with my fingers in my ears most of the time. I'm such a wuss:rolleyes:

Hey MIT
Well done on the healthy eating - are you finding that you are spending more on food though eating more healthily? I certainly am!

Sea xx

millionaire_in_training

Not really tbh Sea probably less. I used to eat the healthy stuff and the junk lol. Not buying any takeaways either so a bit less of a spend there as well. I actually stick to my menu plan for a change and my shopping list cos I dont buy all the choccy biccies and sweets etc. I always took any lunch spends from my shopping budget too and as we are all taking packed lunches I am saving a fair bit on that too. Sorry hun but nope.Weigh in day tomorrow so fingers crossed for me.

Red I cannot believe how attached I am becoming to my animals.My mates all laugh at me as I was so anti animals you wouldnt believe it. I used to roll my eyes if anyone was upset over their animal snuffing it. Am a bit ashamed about that now. My pal's dog died and they held a funeral and I laughed . oops!!! Wouldnt now I am reformed animal lover lol.

lol MIT - it sneaks up on you. We've had four dogs (we lost the last one, my beautiful little bear, Ivan, in December), and I've been devastated everytime we lost one, even though we only had our 2nd puppy, Zabre for 4 weeks. I don't have any kids but I think it must be similar, except they never grow up and always rely on you (and dogs never tell you that they hate you, lol:rotfl: ). I would never have a pet like a hamster, gerbil etc just because they don't have much longevity and I couldn't cope with such frequent loss.

For the first time in my life I would consider having a dog but I am out from 8.15am until 5.30 pm and it would just be soooooo cruel. I dont even live close to my work so couldnt come home to walk it at lunchtime or anything. Never mind. .

red74

That is a problem. We were lucky in that my dad (until he retired) worked 6am-2pm shifts and mum worked 9-4 and came home at lunchtime, so they were never alone for long. We also had two (Ivan was technically my dad's dog, and Mishka was mine, she died suddenly in Sept 2006) so they kept each other company when we weren't there. I missed them terribly when I left (it wasn't fair to split them up, the flat's rented and I work too long hours) but I'm glad I did leave because the hole that's left in the house and routine when they go is awful. The pain of losing them aside, I do feel sad that I couldn't have another dog without a significant change to my circumstances.
