one day at a time

Think you might be right Bobarella, I do tend to look around for even the smallest things to do/ keep me busy....had better weekend than usual really, feels good to wake up Monday morning and not feel/look like I have been dragged around by a giant Gorilla Lol..................:rotfl:
£10 decided to pay into EF.....:D
Sun shining....so decided on a nice day out with DS today.... sandwiches made, have drinks and sweetys already bought with food shop "no sweeties for me today start of Diet ," .Hopefully lots of penny's saved for lunch, "need to get back to preparing own lunches again especially now the lovely sunny weather is here"


DS 0…. CC B £1,580/ CC S £1,600/ CC A £100....£3,290 total …. Mortgage £100,000 /£65,300 paid £34,700 remaining….EF..90.00 (65,390)..........(40)

£10 paid into EF this morning followed by £20 paid off CC....good start to the day.:D
Yesterday OH finally and unexpectedly got paid £200....had been outstanding for months by very unpleasant customer who totally dragged out making payment on works done, for no reason, we had given up hope on getting it back to be honest....so very nice surprise. I will pay into my mortgage today, lets hope cheque doesn't bounce.....only 2 more people to pursue for monies owed....unpleasant/blood boiling downfall to being self employed I'm afraid.... :mad:
Off to meet Dmama this morning for coffee, then wait for DS to finish work, sun shining so hoping for a lovely relaxing day



DS 0…. CC B £1,580/ CC S £1,600/ CC A £100....£3,270 total …. Mortgage £100,000 /£65,500 paid £34,500 remaining….EF..100.00 total....(65,610)..........()

Naughty doggy of mine,,,,woke me at 5am and now I cant get back to sleep :eek:........

Deep in thought this morning......whilst feeling very calm, relaxed and happy this morning, might have something to do with the OH being on his best behavior of late, hopeful as always but I am under no illusions this will be long term, he is trying hard and my house feels happier for the change at the moment, but I can see he is struggling.....as always all that can be done is to force a and wait and see.....;)

Might have a walk/hobble arround my local flea market this morning, still looking for a few things for bedroom "rug, wall art, blinds, curtain rails etc ...trying not to buy new, well except the new bedding.

Have a terrible smell of bad eggs through the house, (poor molly moo kept getting the blame yesterday Lol)....its driving me crazy, I just cant pin point were this horrible smell is coming from....Think it might be the kitchen area, but not 100% sure. OCD in major overdrive....waiting for everyone to get out of bed then out come the cleaning products especially the mop Lol

DS cancelled his guitar lesson on Tuesday, so £10 paid into Mortgage this morning......:D

Fab morning for bargains.....large beige shimmer rug lovely hardly used only £8, large mirror for above the bed only £5 lovely cream calved frame much better than planned wall art. Then a £4 spend on a pair of unworn comfy slip-on shoes and a RI top from the charity shop, £1 on nice pot of tea . Just about to head off with Dsis whom I'd roped into driving me home when I spotted my brown no7 eye pencil, mine is sharpened down to the top and I was in the process of bidding for one (normally sell for around £7, cost me £1). Finally £5 little treat for Dmama..... everything came in at a grand total cost of £24....:T:T
Grand day for bargains until I got home and DS showed me the shoes he wanted for Xmas, apparently they were selling out fast at £60 not sure why....anyway at-least first Xmas pressie now ordered...:D
Need to do some ironing....hate ironing:mad: also OH will have to pull out washer and dish washer, sure the eggy smell is coming from that area and it really is disgusting, DS said he could smell it upstairs hmm thinking he might be winding me up along with my OCD............;)

please-let-me-be-lucky

Bobarella

I wonder what it is?

Thanks Lucky....my previous post seems to have disappeared....anyway much calmer evening last night with OH...........feels like my house is built on a roller coaster, just need to sound off at times....Hope you have a lovely weekend you deserve it Xx :D
Have planned a day out with DS love a long bus journey gives me a chance to clear my head.and in the rain even better Luv the raindrops soooo calming.....:)
Thanks...Bobarella Xx rotten egg smell turned out to be the dishwasher, kinked pipe causing back flow from the drain Yack :eek:
Now my kitchen is sparkly clean with all the dishes hand washed twice and the inside of the dishwasher scrubbed with bleach to be on the safe side (I know my OCD is far to extreme by anyone's standards...needs to addressed :o, but it gives me a sense of well needed control,!!)....
Oh look at the time yikes, better get a move on............

Bobarella

Oh yuck that's unpleasant! I dont blame you for going mad with the bleach.

Lovely quiet, relaxing evening last night, OH out with friends watching football ................DS trying his best to get me to watch a horror film with him....Oh not on your nelly....ended up watching a good old comedy Stir Crazy still sooooo funny. Food shop was a little more than hoped this week, but we did buy some nice treats for over the weekend....Not good for my waist line!

Quite a shock with a sense of relief yesterday, after an intense talk, OH has agreed to visit the Doctor also asked me to go with him........................ I don't know how to feel! ...uncharted waters for me and dare not get to excited. Feel I have been thrown into the twilight zone this morning........Need to try not to push things too much, he has finally made the first step. I will ring to make an appointment today..... then time will tell as always.......................
£20 paid into mortgage this morning....cash left over from No Spendy weekend due to bad weather and no carbootys...........:)
Should also have a nice amount to split between mortgage and cc sometime this week, just waiting on payment of 2 invoices for work OH completed last week and my sick pay....hoping for around £250 after fridge freezer plus other expenses are covered...............:)
Bingo night this evening..........fingers and toes crossed, cant remember the last time we had even a tiny win.
