Laura's turn on top! 2008 DF diary xxx

Sassamac

yay a list - I like lists! Good luck with getting it all done, hopefully this will kickstart your motivation.

What are you making with your sewing that you plan to sell? Sounds like a lovely simple idea (simple as in OS way of living). I cant sew to save my life! We bought some curtains from a charity shop a month or so ago, and some jersey bed sheets to line them, but I have no clue how to do it, so we hung the curtain anyway and I will have to take them down when I work out how to do it (or persuade my Mum to help).

Hope your next tabletop sale is more productive, but hey if its free you can't argue!

didn't go to the tabletop sale on wed as i was painting and wanted to get the job done.
I got the porch and the downstairs toilet done and they look smart as a carrot now and its only cost me £6 at the range for all the decorating as i bought some material to make a curtain for the newly decorated toilet and some thread and a new fluffy mobile. So i'm pretty chuffed. Still need to learn to rein that spending in though.

Not got ready for march yet. I've been a bit overwhelmed with everything. also the holiday is making me wonder how to budget for the month.

Oooh ooooh oooh have some good news! :j Had a man round the other day and i'm going to be getting new windows and doors pretty soon!!!:j Hooray! Looking forward to being able to turn the heating down and save some money on that!!!! Oh and the fact that my house won't look like a shack will be nice too!


Right so going away this weekend up to godmummys. will try and relax a bit. Feel like i'm going at 100mph at the minute and my head is mushed.
Hopefully will be able to get on the internet there as i'll get withdrawal not getting on here!

Have a good weekend everyone xxx

aah thought that might be the case. Never mind going to give it a go again on wed, then probably again on sunday at the welfare up here. I nipped up there last sunday to investigate and it looked like a good turn out. costs a fiver but might be worth it to shift all this stuff piling up in my car!

not feeling like doing much today feeling a bit fragile. got headache . Was nice to get away but didn't get much done

Hi Laura, how have you been? Still very tired from travelling. Didn't get to see much as we were working quite long hours.

lauradora

good to see you back and congrats agian on the good news!!

I'm feeling worn out again today. Don't know why but i'm trying to detox to liven myself up again and to shed a few pounds before america.

made another overpayment on the debt this morning so i'm feeling a lot more positive about that.

Don't know wether or not to treat myself to an afternoon snooze? Will probably make me feel better but will lose a few hours out of the day? Well actually now my minds made up I will have a snooze on the setee, that way i wont sleep for too long and i can be in front of the telly.

my new debt totals are;

Loan £11123.11
Forma £1054.91
Overdraft £1500
Total £13678.02

Meaning i've paid off £1001.25 that looks really ace in black and white.
