Sunday.


Hello there. time to catch up, had a busy day with the family, seen the hubby off on his business trip, two days of being by myself, not that I've been on my own as the grown up kids have been round to visit. its quiet now... ahhh


I've been sorting out for the house move when ever it happens. I've found a few things to Ebay, have 26 items on Ebay at the moment 2 sold on buy it now this afternoon that I put on today. so I can post them tomorrow.. really want my ebay to sell this month. seems I have some watches, so please stop watching and buy...thank you.


Made dinner for 4 of us from the freezer today, although I was hoping for a non spend day but ended up buying cleaning products today as was running short..


Found about 30p in change today whist going through boxes and draws so entered into sealed tin... not to open till 1.12.15 must keep reminding myself that.


I've done well 3nights running I've been in bed early and tonight, even though I'm alone I'm still going to try, hope I sleep ok, haven't slept alone without hubby, in this house anyway.


Glad to see Monday tomorrow, may we all get back to normality and xmas over with.. might get that diet on the go from tomorrow.. have promised myself I will lose 28lb that's two stone, I'm not going into kgs thank you... any help or advise always welcome...


I was a little naughty on Saturday, went into the betting office as hubby like a £1 on the football scores... so I had one too... I've won £15. and some pence so that can go in my 1% tin ready for the end of the month. with the ebay sales too. at the end of the month I shall tot up my sales and enter into 1% tin... definitely going to reduce my debts..determined..


So logging off now MSE world... good night and catch you all tomorrow evening.

Sorry, just not had time to get online. which I should make more effort.


I have been busy with finding a new job, had to decide if the house move was going ahead due to the time waster buyer, we have now pulled out of the sale. so we have decided to stay here in our house... with our mortgage..


keeping up with all the bills. payments and bargin hunting for food shopping. shopped at aldi again,


So my ebay sales are coming through. slowly but surely. little by little. the money will help my % at the end of the month... promised myself that I will get rid of the debts on my credit cards...


Had my first £2 to put into my 2 pound jar.. yay... started.saving.
small change daily into my sealed pot, not to be opened until dec 1st.


Right im off now, nice cuppa tea awaits

Day 20/31
Tuesday


I have been busy, I cant tell you how tired I am too.
I started a new job last week, although its only part time, its split shifts in the day, first thing in the morning am, and last thing at tea. by the time I get home its eat tea and two hours and into bed.. ready for the next day... im seeing how it goes, I quite like it...


So Ebay sales have returned me around £75.00 this month so far. I have with drawn the money today.. I have 26 items listed and seem to have some items of interest. so im confident of a few more pounds coming before the end of the month..


Frugally... I went to the knock down corner of super store and retrieved 1600 grams.. or 4 packets of prepaired carrots for 5p a pack and 3 packs of chillies for 2p a pack.. all now in the freezer.


Traded in my vouchers for skin care at the famous chemists... im getting good at this. I now how a good stock of skin wipes for the price of 42p from £7. after voucher and discount... lol. today I went and bought some shopping from said chemist and got 2 more vouchers... my oh my.. I shall not want skin wipes again this year.


Went around our local village charity shops and bought 4 lovely next cushion covers today... for £5 bargain as they are quality made for superior big shop.. happy bargain hunter me...


My £2 jar is now standing at £12 I know this as its one of those counting jars that adds up as you put in... and my sealed pot is getting heavy from all the change I keep putting in.. so go me....


Next month I hope to have lost a stone in weight, and I shall take my daughter to help me choose some new seconds from charity shop. I promised myself I will not buy new this year. will go with a budget and see how many outfits we can buy and put together for me....


Cant wait to get outside in the garden, sunshine please stay and snow stay away... hope everyone is enjoying or surviving January.. please keep posting . xx

Day 28/31


Weds.


Im finding it hard to get onto the laptop each day. I know it really helps me stay on the straight and narrow if I do... so I will not promise but I will try. working split shifts is hard. I know its only 5 hours thoughout the day but it does take it out of you, going to bed at 9am and up just after 4am... lol


£2 jar stands at £14 now.. go me! and my tin sealed pot is around half full and its heavy with spare change now. just since the Newyear so that's a advantage....


Ebay items have slowed down but I think ive made myself around £80 this month. the money as gone to the bills this month... my new job as paid me today for 2 weeks work. nice to see a bit of money go into my account. sad to see me pay the bills but stay afloat. got to wait 4 weeks now till pay day but will eventually be back in the land of the penguins and fishies instead of the sharks and octopuses .


Made a 2% dent on the debts.. I can see a little movement now... any spare cash I will throw at the credit card which is higher in debt. maybe Februarys Ebay sales will help me

Day 1/28


Sunday.


Well nice little surprise sale yesterday on Ebay. took my Ebay sales over the £100 mark for Jan... nice... hoping to top that February. will be looking out for Ebay items to resell.....


£2 jar is now holding £16... I know it probably would be better paying something off. you never know I might just do that. but I really wanted it for Xmas this year.


Made a shopping list yesterday and a menu for this week, shopped only for items on list... only a few more sneaked into trolly. we did get a bargain in [EMAIL="A@DA"]A@DA[/EMAIL] shop, we bought a box of crisps each 40 in a box for £4 when we got home me and my daughter, we were swapping the ones we don't like with each other... fact is... I had 44 pkts in my box and my daughter had 50! great bonus....


Have bought two boxes of DAZ today as was only £4 for 40 washes... that's a bargain so ive stashed them under the stairs till I need them, may be next week will start the first box.


Had family visit for tea last night, made chicken drumsticks out the freezer. pasta and sauce. got in cupboard. coleslaw, jacket pots and lettuce had to buy, made plum crumble from plums that not been eaten from fruit bowl. cheap meal all 5 of us enjoyed.... family times.


Lovely beef casserole in the slow cooker on, cost next to nothing, under £3 for the beef, half a casserole mix packet, carrots from freezer, peas from freezer and potatoes.. probably last us tomorrows tea too. if son does not appear and request dinner with us today...


Bills paid for Jan, have booked a holiday, deposit paid
