one day at a time

safehouse

Sandwich made, bottle water in bag, so hoping for spend free day
Need to concentrate on ironing, and car needs a good wash later today, inside and out.
DS Uni work finally re-submitted so should free up some of my time as I have been giving him some help….I know I shouldn’t have but need to get him back to Uni end of September….been nagging him to find some part time work until then….he has become very laid back almost to the point of comatose :eek:
OH needs help with paper work, invoices etc….will make a point of pushing him this morning yep like father like son ….well in the laid back department only. I am totally the opposite, I love routine and getting things done, timekeeping, lists all part of my OCD me thinks. Have suspicion that my OH and DS just might be taking advantage of this….really I find myself following them around the house having to close cupboard doors or flick light switches off, or taking out dirty dishes and cups, after I cant bare to look at them any longer….My OH even leaves his numerous newspapers for me to put in the bin after he has read them. I know I am being taken for granted, so am getting ready to explode with both of the lazy beggars. Even the dog has joined in, she has decided after 4 years of using the doggy flap in the door she would rather I get up and open it for her hmm, thing is I do.:(
Had another bad night…. dreamt I was on a sinking boat with Tony Blair….very strange :rotfl:
Morning moan out of the way. Work to be done ....Back soon x

Yes £20 extra into mortgage pot from cutting food shop budget so now need to meal plan for the week very carefully….I watched this program on TV were this woman actually fed her family of 5 on £20 a week, she did all her shopping in bulk from a warehouse which literally stocks bulk food for shops or maybe close to use buy date food. Really well done to her because I don’t know how she does it, will have to give one of those places a visit.
Car cleaned and sparkly, really appreciate having my little motor back
All finances up to date….some invoices need paying in a week or so, but they are business invoices and not received the red ones as yet so they can wait a while.
Reduced credit limit on line after making payment to CC…. very pleased with myself, thought it was one of my better ideas as will stop me from re-spending the amount I had just paid off, especially as I don’t see this debt as a priority compared to my mortgage debt.
Moment of naughtiness this morning ended up spending £5 in subbyway persuaded by DS….but allowed the odd step backward and the sausage breakfast rolls with cheese are to die for?
Right hours knap then ironing here I come I hope………….
Next week can do massive payment off mortgage atleast £500 so very excited as will have mortgage less than £39,000....:D:D

Terrible night....same dream as usual, have sold my house and we are all suddenly living in this very shabby little house and we can’t get warm the house is so cold...I remember trying to will myself to open my eyes and the relief as always when I am in looking at my lovely house. I don't think I can bare these nightmares any-longer. I am going to make a doctor’s appointment first thing Monday morning....thing is I know the nightmares are probably due to the debt worries, but cant hurt going docs I suppose. Feel like crap and now smoke alarm is bleeping oooh not a good morning so far. Shower then start the day again

Didn't know I had it so shouldn't miss it, in the mortgage pot it goes.....Maybe I should have a sort out of all my bags and purses, who knows might be £££££ waiting to be discovered

Slept late this morning, knocks me all off for the day, but not my favourite of days anyway.
No bad dreams last night but have noticed worst nightmares two Fridays on the trot. I hate the weekends, I never know what they will bring, so this is probably the reason behind the nightmares.
Will concentrate on my diary instead and look forward to tomorrow.
Sold a good item last night made £33.00….but then had customer cancel :mad: Also realized I have quite a bit in fees so need to sell more items.
.
Off for shower and then nice walk with my molly moo ……..:D

Managed to sell item after all, lady emailed me she offered £5 less but hey still £28....happy with that, considering I only paid £10 a nice little profit.
Went to carboot this afternoon, bought 2 bags to re-sell, must get a profit, only paid £2 and 50p for the other both leather and one is brand new with tags still attached priced at £65...hmm doubt the lady paid that for it but who knows, so will list tonight and see how it goes. Bought D Mama a pair of M&S trousers still with tags only £2 so some very nice bargains today. Only wish OH and DS would stay on longer than they do, I could spend hours mooching through the boxes, they want to go home after half an hour. I love a bargain.
Woo Hoo managed another £5 off CC……..tiny steps, good for me considering how I normally put mortgage first….
CC 7,380 approx. …. mortgage £39,120 (64,880 paid)

Bingo night tonight hoping for a nice win….might even treat myself if I do, haven't received any money off vouchers so £10 evening me thinks. Taking-smuggling a bottle of wine in as it is my nieces birthday and it was given to me anyway, and will save on cost at the bar.... looking forward to a good night out
