Get a grip !

Skint_yet_Again

I think we are mostly already dahn saarf :rotfl: just different parts.

It's so hot puppy is being naughty so has spent most of afternoon in her bed. I've managed 2 loads of washing and have been sitting in the kitchen with the patio doors open watching TV with my feet up hoping they won't swell much more

Slow cooker is on for pulled pork, we have wraps and salad and spring onions with either BBQ, sweet chilli & garlic sauces. I might just have a bit of gravy & apple sauce with mine.

DS will probably be out again after dinner. I suppose at least I have the dog for company and enjoy walking her when it's cool even tho she is a pain in the a** at times

Have walked the puppy this morning and the weather is likely to be scorching again today. It was like autumn this morning lots of dry crispy leaves on the floor and the grass was damp. DS has gone to work. Plans for today

Pay credit card
Hoover puppy room and kitchen tiles
Do some sewing and mending
All food from stores
Wash and iron work clothes

Have a good Sunday everyone

Hello I am still looking for it. lol. Driving me and the boys (who are on the phone) crazy. I could order a spare but by the time it turns up it will be found.

Well done on planning to do these things. I would just sort your clothes for work and chill as it will be hot.

Its been a bit cooler today but unfortunately I haven't been able to enjoy it as I have an ear infection I saw the doc yesterday and he gave me some spray to clear it up. Bad news on the throat & voice though he said he is running out of options and it may be permanent. I have 2 months to try and get a grip ! I need to make changes to my diet no chocolate, ice-cream and cut down on sugar plus no fizzy drinks, caffeine or spicy foods. I have also put some wooden blocks from the shed under the head of my bed to try and see if this makes any difference and whether reflux is causing the problems and try and get it under control.


I felt too poorly to walk puppy this morning but DS was home till lunch time & sorted her. I came home from work early and had a snooze and have just had a short stroll round the pond with her and am now laid down again.


Good news, I have made my first payment on my 0% credit card so balance will be down by £50 to £1310. I would like to try and get it down below £1300 by the end of the month.

Oh heck, that's not good news Skinty - not least that you have to cut out chocolate and ice cream! Maybe non-dairy versions will be okay?

Hope the drops work quickly.

Blimey I can't believe it is taking so long to sort. Mine started to get better a year ago with speech therapy. I don't know how you have stayed so strong. Hang in there my friend. I am so sorry Skinty. Well done on payment on credit card. That's great. It's nearly Friday and you can have some chill time.

Managed one day without ice cream ... I have no willpower I went to morresons after work today to try and get some sorbet but they didn't have any so will have to try elsewhere.


My credit card payment has gone through so its good to see the balance coming down.


I walked puppy for an hour this evening it was much cooler today but they are forecasting a scorching 30 degrees plus again next week. I have £10 left from my birthday money so I am going to get either a Chinese or Indian tonight, just off to order now !

savingwannabe

We have the same idea. I just had fish and chips. I was too tired to cook anything.

Hope you have a good day tomorrow. Ill be in London with over 40 tourists. lol. :j:beer::j:rotfl:

We had indian last night and the rice is extra so I didn't order any and had a packet of micro rice from aldi instead to keep the cost down.


I walked the dog at 6am as it was cooler and we went over on the local common, she loves sniffing round all the bushes and trees and then we got to the foreshore and the tide was in so she ran in after her ball and just laid down in the sea :rotfl:


We got home around 7.30am, so I washed her down with the hose and dried her on the old bath towels cut up for puppy towels and then fed her. Then I went back to bed for a couple of hours while she had a snooze It was very hot when I got up again so we have spent the day under the fans keeping cool. I got loads of washing done and dried and some ironing. I also gave my kitchen a deep clean, hoovered puppy carpet and kitchen floor tiles and cleaned the bathroom. I need to mop the kitchen floor tomorrow and more washing and ironing. Its never ending and its boring but none of my friends were free today to go out.


I have checked the budget and I have £64 left till payday which is a week on Tuesday. We still have quite a bit of meat left in the freezer so it should be doable.


This month so far I have saved £100 into the bills/emergency fund account, £50 into birthdays / xmas account and paid £50 onto my credit card debt. The entertainment budget was £50, but I did have some extras as it was my birthday I'd like to try and have £11 left by payday so I can pay an extra £11 off my credit card debt and get it under £1300.

Hoorah for budgeting and also for all the walking in this weather. I will be tidying and gardening today to catch up. Have a good day.
