    Evening

    £1.53 potted today.

    I am moving to a new office tomorrow, (not a new job, the entire department is moving) so an extra 15 minutes on my journey. I will walk though, for an extra bit of exercise:D

    Have a great week everyone.

    Am not happy as have just gone onto the bank and realised my money has been messed up since the beginning of the month and i'm over £200 short :eek: thankfully, my miserly ways mean it hasn't dumped us in the overdraft . . yet . . but does mean another morning tomorrow, going round in circles with ESA and trying to get put through to the gentleman who has been struggling to sort out my claim for the last 2 years after they completely ballsed it up and it has never been properly sorted :(

    Do you know I was never so happy as the day I started earning enough that I could afford to say stuff you to the Tax Credits people and stop my claim. They messed it up every year, and I spent years paying back an overpayment that was their mistake but they clawed it back anyway - £20 a month which I didn't have - so I feel your pain jakes-mum and I hope you manage to get it sorted out. I do not understand how these agencies can get so much so wrong for so long without someone pulling them up on it.
    Sorry, rant over!

    Bit of shrapnel today including 1p roadkill which OH spotted and pointed out. He wouldn't pick it up himself but I'm not so proud :rotfl:

  • Afternoon Everyone....I'm in a melancholy mood today....Actually more nostalgic....Just had a bit of a "goodbye" time with a someone who has been a good Friend....I think I will still see him every few months or so.....but it felt a bit like goodbye today....Still, things change and people move on.... :)


    I went and did some "healthy" shopping today....Well, mostly healthy anyway!! And I plan on starting to do some Cooking this Week, although I'm a dreadful cook...but what I CAN cook is rather nice....so I'll stick to what I can cook for now....and hopefully branch out as I get more confident....


    Feels like I'm entering a new Phase of my Life....My Course that I have been doing for nearly 5 years is coming to an end in November and hopefully then I will be starting a brand new Career doing exactly what I have always dreamed of doing....I'm starting to eat more healthily....My finances are on the up and up.....I'm starting to think better of myself....and things seem to be going really well....Just hope it continues this way!!


    Anyway...Enough off-topic rambling.... :D


    Sue...Hope you are having a FABULOUS time Caravanning...Try to relax and chill out....You deserve some "you time"....Look forward to "seeing" you when you get back....


    Today I Potted £1 and some change....The Pot is filling up nicely.....feels good and positive....I won't have to go into ANY Debt for Christmas for the second Year running thanks to this Challenge....It's WONDERFUL....
