Working Hard Debt Diary - Here goes

WorkingHardDFW

Still revising.................

easily distracted today clearly..............£74 in the spa fund now which is fab although the last of the coin from the 'penny pot' has now been counted, bagged and included. Ebay et al will have to raise the remainder when I am seriosuly back on line tomorrow evening.

I had to buy some choccy to get me through today, needs must and all that

Not sure we're going to get DF this month yet again but we'll be agonisingly close to it I fear...

revision beckons....

The exam is over :j, the studying is over :j(for now), I get my life back :j(sort of). Such a nice feeling to have it done and dusted. Lovely :cool:


So what now, priorities moving forward in no particular order:

• Loose weight and get fit, enough is enough, I'm so fed up with being overweight and I'm starting to get concerned about long term damage. So I need to be focused on this. How do I intended to do this: exercise (walking the hornd, swimming, running, cycling and boucing - don't laugh on a pre LBM trampette thingy which I can't quite bring myself to get rid of). I want to do something everyday even if its just walkign the dog. I've already committed to doing a 3 mile hike with the Cubs on Saturday. I'm out for the next two nights so walking the hound will be tricky in the evening however I can walk to where I am going so that will be a plus.
• Eat healthily - harder than it sounds but its the comfort eating that gets me. Thankfully the kids have managed to get through their Easter chocolate so thats all gone and there is lots of lovely fruit in the house. So should be simple, we'll see but I've got to try.
• Get DF. Suprisingly this was not the first thing that came to mind. Again don't laugh but having this debt has kept me focused for the last few years and I'm not sure I'm quite ready for being Df. A load of tosh I know but that is how it feels at present. I would have given such a lot to be in this position a year ago so I am definately not complaining. This month overspending is £147 so far, roll on payday next week. This has got to be paid from the debt fund which leaves less to be paid off the debt next month. If my maths are correct this should leave us with a debt of £1167 next month, so close , however I can't magic the money up. We've spent it so we need to pay it off.
• Get organised at home :rotfl:. The list is endless as you can imagine: filing, sorting out, clearing through, sorting through wardrobes, under stairs cupboards, clearing out more rubbish from the garage, tidying up the garage, painting the garden fence, sorting out the planters, sorting out some saving bits for my Mum, transferring my ISA the list is endless but it will get sorted.
• Make the most of my non studying time, enjoy my kids , enjoy myself, see friends, go out with OH, plan holiday (if planes are up in the air again by then!).
• Start MB again and sell bits and bobs on ebay

Such a lot to achieve, plenty of time though and lots and lots of motivation....

Please let me be DF next month, don't let us overspend
