  • Glands are up so going to rest this afternoon if I can and hope will go down by tomorrow. Not planning to do a lot in the hope that I can rid myself of this bug.  :#

  • Sold some bits on 3bay so all good there and now posted. Might get one more sale on some trainers, not sure. 

    Booked driving test but no space until Jan 2020 at moment, so will have to wait and see if a suitable cancellation comes up. 

    Bang on grocery budget but this is the hard bit now no spending for 9 days and something always crops up. At least I know what I'm spending on food now. 

    All DD gone out bank, need a new house insurance quote in October and 
    then need the cc to update so I can see what I need to pay off next week.

    I don't know  ;)

    So I've been so unwell lately with gawd knows what. So bit of a rant and to do list. 
    Very p off with my family who have asked 3 times this week for money so I've given in and lent my b which is not the amount it's the principle. Am so generous with them anyways but getting ranty as am now just feeling like a third overdraft for them. Told them off and to budget not my problem. 

    No more work to do after a stint this week. Applied for some more jobs but not so well at the moment.
    Ebay sales have been good I would say £375 profit in total. 
    Washed my hair and had tuna pasta for tea but couldn't really stomach it. 

    On the to do list for the week ahead
    1.Post 3bay parcels tomorrow - done. 
    2.Wrap October present (buy wrapping paper as totally out) done but not wrapped. 
    3.Put away things for Xmas and work out what presents I have actually got in the hope to set a budget and stick to it. Done. 
    4.Book dental done
    5.Book doctors done
    6.Arrange to go to property 1 and do electric and gas readings then rubbish clearance and cleaning next week. Property 1 visit 6th Oct - Last visit 26th Oct. Update council, bills etc etc 
    7.Change address on driving licence ready for test. 
    8.Work out budget for car. Done
    9.Chase solicitor re:HMRC/DWP we don't know if the bill will be nothing or thousands and I'm just not designed to live like that !! find it so stressful. Done
    Plus one thinks I have complex grief so I suppose the slight break from temp work may do me a bit of good. 
    10.Check credit card? Pay off in full not sure if owe £200 on it can't seem to get an accurate balance. Done £50 owed. 
    Brought a duvet cover £65 with a £30 off spend voucher so £35 went to that. Paid off and done. 
    11.Do some winter prep - dig out boots, winter pj, scarfs, gloves, jumpers etc and put front of wardrobe. Done. 
    12.Buy some soups and a pack of butter just for stocks.
    Think that's enough for now  B)

    Yes Sam, that IS enough for now!  Your list made me tired!
    I know what you mean about family. Sometimes the more generous you are the more people expect. Be careful with your boundaries. Take care and have a good weekend.
