one day at a time

safehouse

lovely dizzily dingy morning......the air feels fresh and cool. So happy to have no allergies symptoms as yet ....
have loads to do today an again slept in and so am very behind.
Have also made a promise to pay interest off CC to a certain bossy boots ....only joking .... have decided to give myself a push to do it today instead of Monday.... before I back out. Money is in my sons account so will have to try and drag him out of bed first.
Here goes will update later .... shaky feeling....

safehouse

£2000 paid off CC today…..I did it, I repeat paid £2000 off CC today...really not joking, in a bit of a strange state of shock....:eek:
Still need to pay around £500 to stop interest but was only allowed to withdraw £2000 today so will sort on Monday.
Mortgage now back over the £40,000 mark, but CC a lot lower so I am forcing a smile look oops sorry I mean lol
Thunder and lightning tonight with torrential rain loving it………………………..

Still haven’t paid other CC cash approx. £500 will do by end of the week….need to get definite amount to stop interest.
£60.00 car repair….less than I thought, but please hopefully no more car/van repairs for some time. (yep editing because van broke down a couple hours later Arghhhhh)
Sold a few things with on Teabay but will have to use most for auction fees I had forgotten about, any extra cash can be used towards car costs.
Bingo night tonight no money off voucher so £10 all in ... no nice win this week.
Painted the hallway today, had two colours in mind either a mustard yellow or sage green, after an hour debate in merchants have gone with the yellow….something bright and cheerful I thought, and it was on offer for only £8 so helped sway my decision. Need 2 tins so have dug out a tin of white emulsion left in the garage and decided to mix my own shade….
It turned out a lot lighter……………might need a second coat but very nice, really brightens up my entrance . . Have worked out with reduced paint, paint brushes (poundyland ) and roller/white emulsion already had in garage... hallway at a grand cost of £10.00. Problem with all my frames, they are gold and they look wrong against the yellow walls….so instead of new frames decided on tin of spray paint to spruce up all my gold ones and give them a nice grey or cream colour.

CC 5,395 approx. …. mortgage £40,390 for today…..(63,610)

Not really much to report the last few days....had no spare penny's to pay off mortgage, so not in the mood to post as often. Also had a few down days, but off to bed very soon and hoping for a happy, happy day tomorrow.

Roll on Tuesday, should be able to slice a little off my mortgage ....hoping for around £100. Would have been more than double that but need new flooring in hallway, well don't need…. would like, as original is looking very shabby and has done its job for 11 years, not bad as laminate goes!
Anyway I know I shouldn’t have but couldn’t resist, yep bought some lovely oak laminate in sale, well it is bank holiday weekend :eek:
Nearly had major slip back when got carried away and almost bought £500 worth of 5 interior doors to replace my old mahogany doors downstairs, would have had to add new handles another £150 and joiner cost maybe another £150 or more….weird how slipping back into my old ways is so simple. During the silly days I would have just handed over cc and not thought about it.
After a quick shake of the head bought tin undercoat, tin of oat gloss, paint brushes already washed from previous use, sugar soap and cutting in tool so grand total of £25 instead
Still need to replace old rusty door handles….so have been looking on teabay gave myself a budget of £50 and not a penny more. Wow very pleased with myself, painted one door yesterday and very happy it looks fab like a brand new door next to my own mixed newly painted summer yellow walls, really taking shape on a measly budget. I work that out at a saving of approx. £120 saved on my refurb of my first door alone. Will make a start on second door this afternoon….French doors are a nightmare to paint with 15 glass panels to carefully cut around, will probably take me weeks to finish….but well worth it! :)
Time for quick shower and off to a car boot today, sold a bag I bought for £2 from the carboot 2 weeks ago and was over the moon, when made a good profit of £26 but posted 5 days ago and lady still not received…hope it turns up, could scream……:mad:
Still won’t let it put me off, will be looking for bargains today for re-sell……



CC 5,395 …. Mortgage £40,390 (63,610 paid)………change on Tuesday :)
