Finally Debt Free After 34 Years, But Still Need to Live Frugally

Thank you Milann . I take a multivitamin tablet every day but maybe I should mention my tiredness to the doctor.

I still feel tired this morning but then it took me a while to get to sleep because I felt tense and my mind was overactive. Still once I eventually fell asleep I slept soundly until my alarm woke me at 8am.

I hope it doesn't rain at lunchtime, but if it does I feel a bit more prepared with some games up my sleeve.

Morning HHD I love the sleeping bunnies game that Nicnak mentioned. I've never played it but would definitely be inclined to join in and make sure I win :rotfl: Hope today is less tiring for you. xx

Thank you TF2 . Yes it's sounds like a fantastic game and I would be tempted to join in too. I may actually fall asleep :rotfl:.

I had a much better day today. It's not that yesterday was bad, but I felt tired and started doubting myself. My sleep must have done me good because I felt less tired at school than yesterday. It probably helped that I didn't go in until lunchtime so was more rested. Despite rain being forcast it was actually sunny at lunchtime, yippee :T. It rained in the afternoon but I don't care about that :rotfl:. The only negative is that I found out that I don't get paid for the first aid course after all . Still at least it adds to my skill set and I know how to save lives .

I get paid tomorrow, yippee again :T. I want to buy another £50 of premium bonds, I should put £30 in our meagre Christmas pot and the other £100 will be mostly swallowed up by our water bill which is about £94 a month :mad:. I wish I got paid more but it's a lot better than nothing.

Survey wise I only need a 10p survey and then I can cash £25 out of One Poll. I think I'll add that to our Christmas savings. I'm not doing very well with PA at the moment as I only have £3.29 with nothing pending, and You Gov seem to have abandoned me :mad:.

I hope everyone had a good Tuesday .

How on earth is your water bill so hight? I know SW water are expensive but that's a massive bill. Mine has just gone up from £6.30 to £8.40. Admittedly there is usually only me here, but I don't exactly stint myself. Apparently I average 176 litres a day.

It's because I live in Devon Greenbee. There's a lot of beaches and rivers and not enough towns or cities to pay to keep them clean. So the water bills for each household are ridiculously expensive :mad:. I researched getting a water meter but it worked out about the same because there are five of us in the house. So there's nothing I can do about it except moan :mad:.

I think that is out of order that they are not paying you for the first aid course.

I feel your pain HHOD and I doubt a water meter will be any good for you. We are metered and there are just 2 of us and our water bill is £60 a month. Ridiculous.

I wondered the same about your water bill too.

I was going to ask how Sleeping bunnies went, but wasn't needed today! #x
