not posted on diary for a few days as not been well and not up to it!

i'm feeling much better now and ready to "face the world"! Though i do have a toothache :eek: more money !

Pay day next week so in the run up i'm

1. Catching up on washing and cleaning over this weekend and "getting organised".

2. I'm thinking of going the library today to get a few inspirational books - if i can find my library card as i havent been for years.. knowing my luck i'll be on computer and owe a fine :rotfl:

3. Over the week i may try and complete a month's work of stock pile for cupboards/freezer and see if i can save any money that way. So I will have to do a menu planner for each week.

4. Work on the budgets - still a work in progress with OH.

5. Micro manage my accounts

6. Pay debts/bills

7. Update my 1% challenge whilst maintaining prinicples ive learned so far with other challenges

8. Sort car out - needs new tyre and a clean!

9. Visit dentist - ouch in more ways than one!

10. Catch up with friends


Wow thats my top 10 the for week ahead - better get cracking

Well i went to the library only to find that it has moved and closed 1/2 a day - so had a wasted journey in that respect but visited the family and may have acquired a lodger.. i'm still mulling it over :cool:

Interesting re lodger.. what a pain re library!

I'm glad it wasn't anything worse than a fibroid.. glad you are feeling a bit better and ready to face the world! Good plan for the lead up to payday!

Haha it's more of a family member than stranger lodger - not sure if its a good idea so thinking on it and then i'll with discuss with rest of family.

thanks DFOD - enjoy your weekend

Hi

Hi Hollie Hobbie,

Thanks for checking in

Yes - im staying positive, tbh this site has helped me in respect of setting little challenges/goals and also with the support of yourself and others has really helped - thank you

takingcontrolatlast

Ive not written in my diary as my positivity took a nose dive.

Ive managed to pay bills and debts with a little left to get through the month although i need to fill petrol tank up and i have a christening on Sunday and its mothers day coming up! oh and I have to pay my phone bill.

I just dont feel strong mentally or healthwise anymore.

Will I ever get out of debt? Will I ever have money ever again?

small steps - you've achieved a lot so far. Keep going! x
