Why Walk When You Can Fly
Comments

Morning and happy Saturday,
We had pizza last night, as it was pay day, it wasn't very nice and I wish we'd ordered a curry instead.
Going to try and get some surveys done over the weekend and possibly some competitions too, if I get chance.
This is my final training weekend, so need to do a long walk. It will coincide with our trip to Reading tomorrow for DD's camp stuff and I'll walk back from there.
Plan for this weekend looks like this:- Food shop
- House stuff
- Pack DD's camp stuff
- Meal plan
- Finances
I need to fill out all the paperwork for camp and check that is all in order. I'm holiday on Tuesday as she has to be dropped off there, so I need to check the address too.
DD has swimming today, she won't be there for the next two weeks because we're busy.0 -

Morning,
Bit annoyed, I paid the LC when DH got paid and they've added it on for last month not this month so it shows that we owe for this month :mad: will need to try and find an extra bit now.
On the upside it does mean we're below the £14K mark now :money:
DH appears to be changing, in a good way, I think he may have had a LBM as he no longer wants to go to the pub as in his opinion it's pointless and various other remarks.
I've been following the debt free community on Instagram and hopefully gaining more ideas, there's some really good accounts on there.
I've done more surveys but no where near a cash out.
I need to revise my goals too.
Need to get DD packed for tomorrow and I've filled in all her forms.0 -

Good Afternoon diary,
My lovely friend's funeral has been booked for next Thursday
DD enjoyed her camp and has her next one in a few weeks time.
Every weekend this month we have something going on, we only have two days that we aren't doing anything.
My mum appears to have finally got over her strop, albeit I have only been given one sentence responses. I still don't think I am wrong for not wanting her bf there or that I told her off for sending a message to my brother about this weekend.
Waiting to find out if I have an interview tomorrow. It is for a permanent position on a 3-4 year project.
Not a lot else to report, still plodding along.0 -
I'm glad DD enjoyed her camp, you do have a busy time coming up! Your goals are looking good

I hope you get a job interview.Finally Debt Free After 34 Years, But Still Need to Live Frugally

Hi diary,
Finally heard from BG regarding my complaint and there are a few discrepancies between us and as such they have agreed to waiver the other two call out charges and a new invoice for £60 will be issued :T
Are there any other companies that do boiler servicing similar to BG that are any good??
Eventually got hold of the other agency bloke regarding the job interview at the other place, he said that he's trying to get hold of the director in charge and will come back to me. I will chase again on Thursday.
I had 1 NSD and 1 AFD yesterday, I am trying to improve things in those areas.
DH is still trying to get out of the place he's at, hopefully he will get an interview and get to move companies. I hate seeing him so unhappy where he is.
I've brought my lunch with me twice now this week, this is another area that I am trying to improve.
Some surveys done but no where near pay out yet.0 -
You're doing amazing - Keep going.
I've been watching your updates on insta

Hope you hear about the interview soon.
We use a local plumbing and heating company for our boiler services, can't fault them and it costs around £60 a time."If you can dream it, you can do it". Walt Disney0
