On my way to a better place...

Why are some people so rude - BECAUSE THEY JUST ARE OK - still no excuse in my humble opinion. Being the better person is sometimes scant consolation

I was always taught treat people as you would wish to be treated, but I wouldn't lower myself to treat her as she treats others/me. And to be honest, in the grand scheme of things, she just doesn't matter I know that but boy, does she bring people down. Good job I've got this place to let off some steam

Another weekend gone by, why do they go so quick? I came home from work Friday to two letters from Robinson way agreeing to my payment proposal :j. Still one I've not heard from and 118 keep asking me to ring them when I've already told them it's writing only.:mad:
First opportunity we get a friend and I will be doing a car boot sale - it's a great way to spend a Sunday morning, sitting in a field in the sunshine talking to people whilst getting rid of stuff I no longer need and getting money for it . Means I have been sorting and asking DD for give up any clothes she no longer wears.
Busy week at work coming up with meetings and things - still, makes the time go by quicker.
Half a pound off at WW on Friday :T. I think I need to focus more on losing weight, I just seem to be either side of my starting weight all the time.
Time for a cuppa

Sound like a good week. I agree its hard to be focus on saving money and losing weight at the same time. I'm trying more walking not quite sure how that is going to work.

I'm trying to get out at lunchtimes, put the earphones in and off I go. Thing with me is I have got the bit between my teeth to get rid of the debt and want to tackle the weight loss in the same way, so when I don't seem to make any headway I get a little demotivated. But, slow and steady is the way to go. When I've told myself that enough times I may start to see some results

Came home to a letter from wescot saying barclaycard want to offer me a great deal to settle this account. They've asked me to ring them to find out what it is - exciting or what. Bet I haven't got enough to clear it I will email them later and see what the great deal is.

£100 saving on my wescot offer - will pay this on Friday. £250 debt settled for £150 :j. That's money to save towards another settlement later down the line.
I am now really on my way to a better place
I've got the urge to sort through something now for things I can car boot. I'm going to tackle the wardrobe I think.

I can see why you were complaining about your weightloss stalling - you just gained £100

Thank you mark88man - you know how to make a girl feel better don't you? :rotfl:
As long as it's the bank account getting fatter

One debt gone :j nine to go :eek:
I've been shopping already today and what with my list and meal plan, got the total down to £47 this week for three of us.
I'm determined not to go back to the shops for anything this week - well apart from milk and bread if needed. Had some cash left over and so paid it into the bank rather than having it in my purse...slowly learning...:D
