Chica's gonna get a house! (hopefully)...

ChicaBonita

Yesterday at work was pretty busy - on my own for part of the afternoon and then the downstairs tenants turned our water off and I was desperate for the loo! Turns out they thought they were doing us a favour as it was leaking but would've been nice if they'd said something to us?

Anyway, spent in the coop, and had a pub dinner and went to the cinema with the bf - the David Brent film is actually really good. Quite sad in places as well. If you liked The Office would recommend.

Got home fairly late but ran round my bedroom to find items to declutter. Found 8 in the end, will do more tonight. Realised I have a million packets of Primarni stud earrings that I bought for a pound or two pounds at the time because "Oh they're so pretty!" never to even be opened. Oh dear.

Another busy day ahead of me. Should be a NSD though as not going anywhere/don't need anything.

PS I'm melting in this heat!!

ChicaBonita

Ah well the buyer got the purse this morning and has left me feedback already, so I can breathe easy now! Moved over the money into my deposit fund and updated sig.

This heat is playing havoc with my head and belly. No good.

Can't wait for the weekend. NSD today, wasn't able to exercise due to heat and migraine Did managed to declutter 7 items though, finding it difficult, but that's the idea right?

Yesterday was an absolutely hideous day at work. So glad that it's now the weekend.
Went to bed early last night for the third time in a row this week due to a headache - on the flip side, up bright and early today.

Hoping to go a run this morning, and maybe do some yoga depending on my energy levels.
I've got a colouring picture I want to finish, and a short book. I also need to finish my declutter list, AND I want to go through my wardrobe as it's so full I can hardly find anything! Think that'll be my mission for this weekend.

No proper plans, just chilling - need it after the week I've had. Don't have any plans to spend major money, which is just as well I've hardly got any! Payday on Wednesday Last working day of the month sometimes really sucks lol.

Anyway, I hope everyone enjoys the BH!

Happy Sunday!

Last night was a chilled one with a takeway at the bf's. Really enjoyed it.

Lazy morning today and went to Tesco - sat and had a costa and bought ingredients for dinner tonight. Bf paid.

We booked our mini-break in Prague today We always go away for our anniversary in November and this year we're going there. Found a gorgeous aparthotel in the centre of the Old Town via Expedia, and bought the flights through easyjet as the flight times through Expedia were very odd (either extremely early or extremely late). That was around £200 each, won't count as a spend though as I had put money aside for it. Super excited now it's booked. Think I will drive to the hotel so will probably book parking at the airport later today.

Well had a lovely relaxing weekend. Didn't do much of anything but after last week I needed to do nothing!

Went for a meal with the bf last night, was expensive really but I won't see him until this weekend now as he's working in Paris for a few days, so was a nice change and a small send off

A book I preordered a couple of months ago has been downloaded onto my kindle today, so that's been paid for and I will start that on lunch today. Excited! Love a new book. I also saw that a few of my books were reduced on my Amazon wishlist, so downloaded those. I bedgrudge paying a tenner for them but when they get reduced to <£3 I jump at it.

Only managed to declutter 28 items last night, but I might do it again in a couple of weeks. I actually found it hard to find things that I can just get rid of straight away. Not sure if that's me not being strict enough, or stuff having a purpose?

I shall do my weekly spend list, a day late

Hey CB.

Wow 28 items decluttered! That's amazing. And congratulations on booking Prague, something lovely to look forward and only a couple of months away :T

Glad that purse buyer was ok

ChicaBonita

Thanks Ena, not as good as I hoped but there's always another round to be done I'm so excited for Prague, it really breaks up the year having a small city break and I love going to new places!

PAYDAY! :j Did some money shuffling, ended up in my overdraft again towards the end of the month so given myself some breathing space this time round. I always put too much in saving and then the end of the month becomes tight but I don't feel I can take it back out of savings

Anyway, house fund is over 8k now so that's a good feeling!

Sold a skirt last night, that will be posted today. £4.18 made, but won't move that until I know it's been received ok.

Went for a run last night using my fancy watch I got for my bf. So much better being able to look down and see my time rather than faff with my phone in my armstrap. Although the next big run I have scheduled isn't until March, I really want to knuckle down to some good training so I am able to run the whole thing without stopping (or almost without!)

Still considering sticking that bag on the fb group...I feel guilty as it was a present but I won't use it? Need to decide a price and then bite the bullet I think, will be some extra to throw at the house fund.

Bf is in Paris now for work, although we don't live together I still miss him when he's not in the country! Don't tell him that though.....:rotfl:
