Sorting my life out diary!

Hey all,

Im feeling very rough today, didnt get much sleep been coughing all night,

So it looks like i will be staying in all weekend with this cough.OH and i was going to go to the cinema.....his treat of course!:rotfl: But now his going to come over to mine with some rented DVD's and we will eat my free popcorn i got the other day! So saved OH some money there!

My mum has just paid in my wages in town for me bless her. And just checked my online banking....

Bank account total £733
ISA £300

Total: £1033:D

Plus i have £50 from paypal making its way to my bank account. Which will take it upto £783.

The only direct debt i have now is mobile on the 15th. My credit card bill will be due on the 20th when it comes. So still plenty of time to save up as much as possible!

My car is booked in for its MOT on 12th april.Which will be about £45 so long as i dont have any problems fingers crossed!

Up all night coughing all night AGAIN! and got around 1 hour sleep this morning.

I pulled myself out of the house with my OH to pop to Halfords and B & Q in the search for a metal cable tie.....but couldnt find one anywhere! A waste of petrol that was!
Then as we pulled onto my drive i asked OH to check round car at brakes, pads etc for MOT. And i saw one of my tyres has worn all round the outside wall i had all 4 new tyres last year and i hardly do any mileage so wasnt happy. Tracking is out on wheels so took it down to tyre place who said yes tracking out, i thought i many aswell have it done as the tyres will only wear more if i dont! I had already been on the tyre places website and printed off a £2 off tracking voucher.I told the bloke i had it he said thats fine. But still charged me £28 for it. No £2 off! I couldnt be bothered to argue too ill.Then when i got back in car the seat was back as far as it would go, the music was up high (when i had it turned off) and the window wide open.....young boys hey!:rolleyes: So im £28 down this weekend.

I hope i dont cough all night tonight. I have asthma and can hardly breath with this cough at the moment.

Also got a free car air freshener in the post today.That will save £1;)

Hi there
How are you doing on the job front. i was like you and i got a job in a police control room, i earn loads now and i can keep myself to myself but it has helped with the confidence thing. Essex control room are always looking and my mate worked there till she moved to london. Loved it.

What are these piggy points and clicks and things peopl are always on about! Might help me!!

I wish Valued Opinions would send me a survey for that amount! I need another £1.50 to clear before i can next get a voucher and could do with another £10 amazon voucher for OH's birthday pressie.

I'm not cheap....honest

Hi, the job front isnt going great, im getting more hours at work.But a housekeeper isnt what i want to do for the rest of my life! But i really dont know what i want to do as a job.
My low confidence in myself always pulls me down. When i look through the jobcentre site i finding myself saying im not good enuff to do that, i cant do that....etc where as normal people say i could try that,or i could do that.

Police control room i could never do! Im not good on the phone!....im silly like that! i dread phoning places like doctors, garages etc. Dont ask me why. I duno what i think might happen. I just dont like speaking on the phone!

For piggypoints check out the freebies board, theres a thread that explains how it works as it quite hard to explain.You get points that you can turn into high street vouchers!

Hi

Do you not fancy retraining and doing some study towards changing your career? There is the Open University that do loads of courses that you can study from home and you can you Tesco Clubcard vouchers to pay for it too.

Just a thought

Have you done any study before? If not don't be frightened of all the degree talk.. you can do level 1 courses for beginners and the points can all be added together
