    Have got another day at home today, where does all this housework come from. Didn't get up until 10 this morning, I seem to be getting worse. Got lunch at mums today and having my online shop delivered between 3 and 5, apart from that nothing exciting for me.....

    Just sold a book on Amazon, the only one this weekend :(
  • Im sure they will be flying out the door again soon. Had three sales today most surprised.

    When are you going to update the ISA total again?

    To be honest with you Wendy I'm avoiding looking at the ISA. I had to use some of the money yo buy a new laptop 2 weeks ago and I was really gutted. I've just kept putting small amounts in it all month in the hope that it'll make up what I've spent. I don't know why I'm feeling so guilty.

    As for Amazon, I can't really grumble about my sales, I've made loads from there lately, I just want to get rid of everything I've listed.

    I'm glad your stuff is starting to go, it's a great feeling isn't it?

    Aaaarrrrgggghhh Monday morning. Been up early today have cleaned bathroom, put washing in machine which I'm going to peg out on the line before work and had a general tidy up in the kitchen.

    Have packed up the 2 parcels for posting off this morning and done a letter for my sister to send to Next Directory.

    Am absolutely skint this week. Spent all of my tax credits but there's food in the cupboard and petrol in the car so in theory I should be OK. Have got some money in the bank but got to take the cat to be neutered on Wednesday and don't know how much its going to cost so I'm scared to touch that money.

    Hope you all have a good day today.

    Thanks NuttyP I read about this somewhere else but didn't know if I was entitled to it. I do have tax credits so I am on benefits of some sort. I'll get the yellow pages out now and see if I can find them.

    Have given them a call but unfortunately they are all closed until tomorrow. How does the bursary work. Cats booked in for Wednesday morning, do I still have enough time to get one or do you have to apply etc.

    Have just checked online and you need to apply, get means tested and then they'll send you out a voucher. Can't see me getting all that done by 8.00 on Wednesday morning.

    Not had a bad day today. Have come home and de-cluttered the first drawer on the welsh dresser - so I can now write on Dizzy's diary with a clear conscience!!!

    Nothing in the mail for me today but Sis has just phoned to say that Abbey have accepted her payment plan for her credit card and Asda loans have also accepted it for her loan. She has an Asda credit card with a small balance on it and a large Abbey loan so we're hoping that they'll be accepted. Then its just Black Horse and Welcome Finance to go. At least she's has some good news there. I just wish I could feel more positive about it all and convince myself that she's really got the message this time :(

    Do you have a diary NuttyP or have you thought about starting one? It's a great way to keep track of everything. I babble on a bit these days but this place keeps me on the straight and narrow.

    Have just had a little peak at my ISA and the balance is £1030. I was really surprised thought it was quite a bit below the £1000 mark. Don't think I'm going to set myself a target for the rest of the month but will definitely start again in May. Got DS's birthday in May so I'm hoping the Halifax will pay up before then so I can get him what he wants.
