Three years to get debt free

  • Had a lovely day with family. We took them to see the illuminations at a seaside town.

    they went on rides and had a lovely time with donuts and the usual things you have at places like these. I used some of my birthday money to pay for it. It was worth it to watch them do happy. 

    I am tired now and already in bed. 😂

    I’ve sold some bits for my sister and one of them is being picked up tomorrow.

    Sofa was collected and money put into my account. I did the tutoring which always goes straight into my business account. 

    Enjoy everyone x

  • New carpet has been fitted and it is looking and feeling lovely! I've gone darker this time as last time the light carpet just showed up everything in the house. 

    Hoping to go ice skating today. I won't be doing it with my back but DD and my sister and nephew should all be on the ice. I am feeling really cold this morning though. 

    DD has got the dentist first thing and then I have a few bits to do. Some direct debits have come out and money is still okay. 

    One of the items from the selling site has gone missing and the buyer has raised a claim. I have tried to submit a claim but have to wait ten days until I am allowed to, which is either today or tomorrow. I will raise it tomorrow anyway rather than have to fill the form out. They should pay me the amount back as I did have the original posting receipt as well as other bits to prove the value.

    Royal Mail lost one of my parcels as well. I am still not sure where it is and have no idea where it was from to make any sort of claim against them to get it back. It was near my birthday so I do wonder if it was a birthday present, but I guess I will never know!. 

    Have a lovely day x

  • Last night I had a big reaction on my face. My body has just reminded me not to get complacent with my diet. 

    I’ve had a build up of toxins from eating and drinking inappropriately over the last few weeks. I’ve been reminded and now need to get focussed again. 

    I’m out for the day again today and tonight DD has a Halloween party. I’m driving as I need to have no alcohol and be careful with my foods for the next 3 months. 

    Still trying to change one direct debit to get the £130, I know which one I’m changing, it’s just because the payment was due it wouldn’t do it. 

    Overpaid £250 on debt paying on top of usual payments so all going in the right direction x

    I completely identify with this. I have used the half term holidays to meet friends and be altogether more sociable than in term time. This has meant quite a bit of eating out and drinking wine, and my body is rebelling. I have one more lunch out today (at an Indian restaurant so no chance of being « good ») and then back on tracks. I hope you can get your diet sorted Willow.

    Thanks, I go through stages thinking I’m invincible and my body then just flares up. I’m back on the medication which I absolutely hate being reliant on. Enjoy your lunch out x

    Yes thank you Parky, I’m on best behaviour though. 

    I’ll need to do the leaf sweep at some point as well too! Yuk 

    The party was amazing. There was a live snake there. A big python called Liz which I held for most of the night. X

    Can't decide if this a euphemism or not :D 

    Very glad you had a good night. 

    Also congrats on the carpet, that all seemed to go very smoothly, hope you are having good evening in your lovely living room :)  
    Nevertheless she persisted.

    Oh, that sounds great! I remember taking my DD, when she was 7 or 8, to a local museum, to a « snake event ». She got to hold a python, and was cool as a cucumber as it wrapped itself around her leg! Snakes are amazing creatures.
