CrazyBee wants to be Mortgage Free!

I have still been feeling a lot of tension and unease today, I think it is the lodger situation, I live in a block of flats and when I first arrived there was a lot of tension potentially this is the same thing again. Anyhow as I just mentioned I have a viewing tonight so lets see, it would be good to have a female I get on with, they can't all be bad!!

I have spent today but in the spirit of not wasting food I bought mango chutney to avoid throwing away the curry I had a bit of an accident with the spice mix, I also bought poppadoms to go with the curry and pastry so I can have another go at treacle tart! I wish I didn't have to spend but at least I can get another 4 meals hopefully out of the Curry pot.

I think for the rest of the day I will do all the baking and cooking, I also plan on making banana bread again, I think it is the last one I do for a while as I am getting a bit fed up of it! so I will make:-

1) 2X banana breads (one for me and one for MD)

2) Treacle tart

3) Sort the curry

4) Make dough for pizza for tomorrow and the day after.

5) wash up everything and get it spotless again

6) Search for a job

7) R&R!

What a disaster, I tried to do too many things in one go, I forgot to put the yeast in the pizza dough so it will be flat bread pizza 🤣🤣 I forgot to put baking powder in one of the cakes so that will be flat banana cake eak! Otherwise all okay. I am R&R' ing now!! as I wait for the banana flat /breads to come out of the oven. I am sure everything will still taste nice at least.

Have a good eve all, I will come back later with the outcome of the viewingXX

I had a bit of trouble Posting last night with the anti robot software on MSE, therefore I am writing my update now! The viewing went really well, the lady was very lovely and is from Zimbabwe, she was ever so polite. She has paid a holding deposit and is going to move in around the time the lodger I have now leaves. So there will be no money lost between the two, which is great.

The treacle tart was still not right. MD said there is too many cornflakes so next time I am going to use 80g cornflakes, 250g syrup and juice of one lemon, in pre partially cooked pastry lined tin. But I will leave this for a bit. I think I am going to lay off the baking and concentrate on cooking some fabulous meals, I have done banana bread to death!

It looks like I can add a no spend day today, making it 3/19 so back on track however tomorrow will be a spending day as I am going to much needed hairdresser for a trim. Today I have applied for a role which is mostly remote, one day in the office per week which I am keen about. other then that the day is going slow.

Haircut done £29.00 lighter, I also got a McDs, but I now realise this was a mistake if I am to pay back MD, I have just made a payment to her in effort to try and not hold money and spend recklessly better to pay her back. Therefore I now owe MD £200 at present however I have a repair on the car which is due this month and will set me back another £150 plus a service and MOT coming up as well...eak! In the spirit of trying to pay her back I have started a switch with Santander edge as mentioned in the MSE email, this will knock off £180, plus I will receive a £25 voucher for amazon also.

I need to change tacks, I need to save on usual spends so that I have more money to pay back MD as I no longer have the survey money and therefore no additional income, basically I no longer have a pot to go to and I probably realistically cannot afford another haircut unless I get a job! I need to do some stuff for MD as I wrote I thought and called her she said she would have something for me to do! She is also going to proof read my manuscript, I am looking forward to getting it back with her corrections.

I am hoping to hear some news on the job front next week, I also heard back from the garage they said I am still in the running but with year end and one thing or another they are still conducting interviews so there is always a chance for some good news 🍀😊🍀. 

Wishing everyone a pleasant eveningXX

I have a little bad news I told the 'planned to be new lodger in August' that I had changed my mind, and I feel so much better. MD said that it was a mistake that I did that, but personally I prefer to feel human. I cancelled an interview and then changed my mind and now the link does not work, I have messaged them, they have probably changed their minds about me because I flip flopped! Eak!

CrazyBee787

Yes interview didn't happen and I haven't heard from them never mind, I am hopeful for some news next week on two or three job fronts, lets see! 

The current lodger requested indirectly that he wanted bunny chow again and since I have no flour and I prefer the bread at mands I have spent today on bread and the makings of a lovely fruit salad, that is right you heard it right I am not baking a cake or delicious snacks but instead I have prepared a really (as I sit here munching some) delicious fruit salad, I didn't realise how good fruit salad could be, it is soo good...it has strawberries, kiwi, peach and grapes in it, cut up and delectable! In the spirit of trying to be healthier...also I have bought fresh coriander to go with tonights curry. I really am torn between making my lodger happy and saving money, I really should not have spent, but the outcome will be delicious food, I really need a job offer on the table soon!

I have put the ad up again for a lodger but I am not keen, I really just want a job, it is taking forever to get one. 😒

Do you charge your lodger for food ?  If not perhaps as he’s requesting stuff you might want to !

the lodger - was it the person or the actual ‘lodger’ bit you don’t like.  You wasn’t happy about this one but in time you’ve come to like him and the money has been helping.

I know, MD says I am silly too, all I know is I felt a lot better when the lady was not coming. I don't undertsand it myself. But I feel just so much better I really don't know what it is.

I now feel tension again, however it could be MD as she is making jokes to her lodger with me on the phone saying guess who! So I will stop calling she has told me before that I call to much, I really need to learn I just wish I had someone that cared and didn't mind me calling, I guess this is where my life is also a failure. No job, no friends and No one to call upon, I guess I have taken the Mickey a bit with my frequent calls, I just am alone with no surveys and no job and I am not any nearer to getting a job. Life sucks! and now I will need to stay at home and be alone with no one to call. Feeling low and unappreciatedXX
