And a friend just paid me back £200 so I'm doing well today (home for lunch so thought I'd pop on and say hi!)

Hello All


Am back at work today (dosed up and still coughing but feeling much better).


Not the best DFW weekend (hence no posting). Saturday OK (no spends) but then felt really despondent yesterday (often happens on a Sunday) and ended up getting an extra food/drink shop (including ice cubes for crying out loud) and then a pizza delivery for all in the house (5 adults) even though I had made a nice curry!


I have on my mind the fact that sons motorbike has gone in for repair quote today (it will be hundreds of pounds) and we also imminently will need to pay a deposit for his university accommodation (which will also be hundreds of pounds). This just makes me feel like what's the point even trying - very dangerous.


Anyway, it has really helped reading your posts (especially Foxgloves as we are also trying to become good at managing money rather late in life - I can certainly imagine how good it must feel to get a zero bill and will hold that thought). I am paranoid about posting that our debt has not gone down or worse have increased. I need to accept that we may have some downs as well as ups along this journey but we have to keep on trying.


Right, rant over!


Today I have had a lift to work, all meals will be from home, washing is on line, spread sheet will be updated.


Hope you all have a good day. Best wishes with your interview DNMS x

Hi folks - pretty productive day...
I need to update now as DH will be home soon and he has got past the 1st stage application process for 1 of the jobs he has applied for & needs to fill in an on-line assessment tonight. Joys of redundancy & a 55yr old looking for a job.

So - the list
NSD- Done
Forage all meals from cupboards - Done
Clean out fridge - I know I have stuff that I need to vacuum pack & freeze - Done (but I am ashamed)
Check banks - Done - nothing untoward
Need to investigate DH's shoes as he can only find 1 croc & has taken to wearing a pair of useless non supporting flip flop type things (useless for him as he needs a new knee & it's just a matter of time before he falls on these bl%%dy stupid shoes & really hurts himself):mad: - Done
Pay bills that have come in - Done
Post in sick line for work - Done (almost - is in an envelope with a stamp & will post when I go out tomorrow)
Check PC is clear of Gameover Zeus bug - Done
2 lots of washing hanging out as we speak & another in machine to go out - Done
Garden work - needs done & is free therapy:p - It rained (best excuse ever)
Check freepostcodelottery - Done
Adpoints - Done
Also sent DH CV off to someone he knows to have this reviewed (when his comes back I'll ask if I can send mine off too) and picked up a MS for when I'm back at work.

Hope all went well DNMS - keep us updated

Have a good eveing peeps
