  • Afternoon PMO2,

    Booo to the bad nights sleep, everything always seems so much worse in the night! Glad its worked out well with the reduction though, thats brilliant :money:.

    Ooohhh which really nice food item(s) did you buy for lunch?! xx

    I found a huge Sainsburys near to site :) bought a potato and egg salad and some turkey chunks to put in it...it was yummy
  • I have got my car :D it's sooooo nice.

    DH has taken it to put some diesel in it for me and to take DS for a quick drive, DD came with us to pick it up.

    DD and I are then going to Sainsburys for the food shopping.

  • Morning,
      Sew DD’s badges on to her camp blanket when she gets them
    I made a start on this yesterday, 7 down and 14 to go.

    So after the hype of my car yesterday, confession time, there was a £2k deposit for the car, which ended up on the BC. Which means that the debt has risen, but I am due a certain amount in April/May which will wipe the deposit off the card.

    Good things this week:
    • 3 NSD's
    • 3 Lunches to work days
    • Lowish food shop
    • Completed Level 1 of Flylady all week
    • Made a start on DD's badges
    • New car
    • Lower car insurance premium

    Bad things this week:
    • No AFD's
    • Deposit for car added to debt

    Overall not a bad week but needs to be improved up on. The car needed changing due to current mileage so despite the deposit, we'd have been stung for far more money if it'd been left any longer.

    Am I the only one that names my car? Last one was Bunty the blue car and this ones Ricky as the number plate starts RK1 :rotfl: :o

    Moving on to today, my list looks like this:
    • Clean kitchen
    • Finish washing
    • Sort dried washing out and put away
    • Make dinner
    • Sew more badges on to DD's blanket, leaving the awkward ones til last
    • Make lunch for tomorrow

    I'm hoping to go for a walk today, I've made a pledge to myself that I will go for a walk at least once a week, weather permitting.

    Right, another cuppa then on to it.

  • Great that the car insurance is lower :) it's strange what keeps us awake sometimes :o. Glad you like the new car :). You do need a reliable one for work. Do you have it through PCP?

    Yes, as I'm on the motorway a lot and do go Oop North to see family, DH is insistent I have a decent car so he's confident me and the kids are safe.

    Yes on PCP

    I have a habit of leaving DD's badges until the very last moment, lots of these are from before we moved, she's accumulated 6 since we moved bad she joined a new troop.
