You can't beat me, I will win.

Ah thank you clearmydebts. I've left the forum many times but always come back. I think I will always be here.

I've just ordered DS's bed and mattress. Bit of a chunk of money but it's something which is needed. I have a six week delivery turn around so I'm setting that as my target for having the main parts of the house decluttered. I'm not sure if I will get the cellar done in this time but I will try.

I've also said I will paint DS's bedroom. Be smeared it in Vicks about 18 months ago but I haven't got round to redecorating yet. It looks a state at the moment.

From now on its ultimate frugality. No more frittering.

Anyway have a great day. Enjoy the sun.

Good news about the tumours and good luck with the decluttering plans

Been at work today but I really wanted to be home.

I've been lazy tonight and have been watching a documentary on YouTube called Poor Kids: Forced to grow up poor. My goodness it was harrowing and I felt sick watching it. If I ever needed a kick up the bum to sort my debts and finances that was it. That will never be my boys life and I will do everything I can to prevent it. I think my life changed forever tonight watching that. The children in it were so bright, elequent and lovely. They didn't deserve the life they have. It's a heck of a watch and I think it will prey on my mind for a long time but I'm going to take something away from it.

I've joined the one debt v's 100 days and have made a start. I'm going to look at my budget for the next month as payday is Friday and see how much I can squeeze from it to throw at debt. I'm on fire and will get rid of at least one debt in the next 100 days, maybe two if possible.

I had to go for a blood test tonight before Thursdays chemo. My goodness DS was a pain in the bum. Not wild but just a g1t to be honest. Never again.

Anyway time to do some stuff. Have a fab night. X

When I did one debt in 100 days I found it really really helped.

I did it once before beanielou but had a car to scrap. It's going to be harder this time but I'm eager.;)

I'm doing it this time too.

Thanks everyone. The chemo is done for another three weeks then back to it again.

I was paid today so I've sorted all my saving bits first. Ive never done this before. I've put some into my emergency fund, some into my annual bills pots and paid some off my 1 debt v's 100 days challenge. It feels very good.:D

I have a huge pile of washing to put away tonight then tomorrow a final good vacuum round for the month. I post the weight of dust tomorrow. I've still not cleared the sewing room so there is probably about 4lbs under the clutter.:eek: Anyway the rest of the house is coming together so things are going the right way.

I still need to complete the patchwork bedspread so hopefully I will get that finished in the next two weeks. I want to get the c......mas gifts wrapped too.

Well it's time to get DS to bed, then some time for myself.

Have a fab weekend all. X
