  • Well that was a palarvor (is that a word?) anyway went down to the post office with DGS in his push chair, posted my UK E*ay parcel off got the price for the Aussie one and forgot the walk was UP HILL on the way home, I usually take the car but thought I would be good today :T shattered now and have to go back again to post the Aussie parcel as wanted to let her know how much it was before I sent it.

    Just going to have a nice cuppa before picking DGD up from Nursery and all hell breaks loose (she's not known for being quiet, but love her to bits):heart:

    Enjoy the sunshine today where ever you are

    Exhausted Nanny, little ones gone home after everyone stayed to dinner, chaos reigns, but love it really. Not so good on the wine front, daughter was given a bottle of wine as a present and didn't want it so she left it here, I am now sitting here with a nice glass of vino, heaven, at least I didn't have to pay for it :T

    Went to home bargins today, bought most of the things on my list, unfortunatly MaccyD is opposite and DGD wanted the toilet so went to the toilet and came out with a Happy Meal, when did they go up to £2.49 they were £1.99 last time I went in, still she enjoyed it and it wasn't much if we had all gone in OH would have had one too:j

    Sold another item on E*ay and found a few more things to sell, so on Thursday when I get a free day (no babies) I shall put them on.

    Am really enjoying doing this diary, I don't mind if I talk to myself most of the time just find it theraputic(?) spelling was never my thing :(

    Anyway off to iron DGS shirt for tomorrow and of course listen to my new best friend Dave, if he has any good advice will let you know.

  • OK just had my fix of Dave Ramsey tonight and not annoyed with him tonight, lucky Dave.

    Don't know what I have in E*ay payment but will look tomorrow and let you know.

    Quote for this evening via Dave Ramsey:

    Start with the NOW

    Live on Less
    Because a foolish man/woman
    Devours all he has

    Makes sense to me - now to apply it

    Night Night x:shhh:

    Off to town today with DGS going to walk with the push chair, will take about 45 minutes but its a lovely day and he will love looking at the trees on the way.

    Going to meet my daughter and we are going for a coffee which is nice as I just don't do this anymore so a little treat. Have to buy a present for SIL as its his birthday today so spends inevitable.

    About £23 in pay pal account but not allowed to take it out yet, don't know why but shall wait a few days and see what happens. Not sure about this E*ay thing but will keep trying.

    Enjoyed my lovely walk to town had coffee in Cafe R*ouge and did a bit of shopping, didn't spend too much so quite pleased, went back to my daughters for lunch and bought DGS back home with me, he is asleep now so a bit of peace for a while :j

    Looking for a box in the garage, and came across 7 canvas tote bags all in wrapping with tags, so straight onto E*ay, someone, somewhere might want them hopefully.

    Sent off my E*ay sale so have just looked on Pay Pal and they owe me £23, don't know how much of that they take but they won't give it to me yet anyway, so will just wait and see.

    Back to work tomorrow for a bit of peace :)

    so its all gone pear shaped, (a bit like my diet) and have lots of spends to do. DGS needed money for football subscription for next year. Also his party had to be paid for today, his dad is very forth coming with the money so we do what we can (he still thinks his dad is perfect though - funnily enough)

    Anyway bitterness over with onward and upward, got a bit more tax credit than usual this week :T thank you very much will try and keep it in the bank towards the mortgage.

    Not much going on in the e bay have about £23 I am still waiting for and about £3.50 on quidco so at least its saving it for me.

    Sad news yesterday our little cat was knocked down by a car and sadly died, so had all the family over for a buriel in the garden, with a song from my DGD aged 4 and a few words from me, very sad, so had to buy a bottle of wine last night to drown my sorrows :sad: hopefully he is chasing mice in cat heaven now, my angel cat :A

    Thanks Shelbi, you sound like a very spiritual person, its amazing how a few words can mean so much, thank you.

    Right back on track today, listening to the POWER, a follow on from the SECRET, don't know if you know about it but seemed to work for my daughter who listens to it everynight, and somehow she is gradually changing and her life is definatly improving. :D

    Have checked my £600/$1000 account and have £51 towards it, its going to be a slow progress but definatly going in the right direction. :)

    Am away this weekend but it will be a frugel one as my friend is as skint as I am, we always manage to have a great time though. Just got to buy a couple of meals and my friend has a voucher app so it will be at one of them or a weathers*oons, I don't mind either way, just glad to get away for a bit of peace and quiet.

    Have a great weekend :j

    Had a fabby weekend lots of walking, eating and of course drinking wine :beer: (can't find a wine icon)

    Came home with £40, did spend a lot but I only do it once a year and never used my card once (there's nothing in my account :rotfl:) so that is going into my emergency fund feeling pleased with myself and relaxed for a little while.

    Listening to the POWER as I am writing this, so law of attraction working in full force. :j
