Wendy's "To get it out of my head" Diary

Keeping_Positive

Have spent £86.70 today already.

£22.50 brownie uniform and the rest on an unplanned shopping trip. Brought a few little bits for kids but most 49.50 for me but it did include a new suit for work. £37 with £4 knocked off at the till when I mentioned a few loose threads. Very MSE I thought. Need one as I only have two that fit. Brought a few £1.50 T shirts from Primark. Talked OH out of a £15 driver said he could spend the profit on the next box set sale on Amazon.

So after taking a day off work I have not prepared for tomorrow, have spent far too much, not done any housework and now have a headache. Nevermind. I knew my productive streak wouldnt last lol.

Oh I did put £60 left over from OH monthly money to me in the bank rather than leave it in my purse to spend. Still spent it but not due till mid may.

Whenever I come back to the computer it has pictures of golf clubs, me thinks Amazon better sell soon!

Starting to feel a bit ug but still better than this time last month. Run through the budget again becasue I kept forgetting bits last time. Allowing for DDs, chqs written including another £100 for the thrift club I should have c 30 left. That is going to be tough. Do have £20 left in my purse which needs to stretch.

From the savings if I allow for the holiday money budgetted I will have £355 left to go towards the car insurance.

None of this is including monies due from Quidco, moneyback madness, Amazon and Pigsback.

Im going to be good and try not to stay over at the company do so that should be pretty much free. OH will be happy. Looking to do A Bodyshop party without the party bit to see if I can get some needed make up free or half price. Im not sure how long I can keep enticing the last bits of foundation out lol.

Not too bad a day, left making an appointment for the Doctor too late as usual but he rang and has done a repeat perscription for me. I do think they are working.

Spent 45p on chocolate but was reminded that in a stupid moment a couple of months ago I agreed to a trip to disney on ice through work. £90 and they want half last week. Got to think things through before I accept in future. Not sure if I can back out but will try.

Left Body shop books at work so hopefully some decent orders will come in tomorrow. No luck on Amazon a I have lowered one price to see if I can get a sale. I keep getting under cut by pros. Can only go so low.

Thank you for your support everyone I do appreciate it.

if you can't back out of the disney on ice trip, maybe you can sell it on to someone else? even at a slight discount? x

Hi Wendy...I'm also thinking of lowering some of my prices on amazon now, as I've only sold two, and to be honest anything I get for them is better than them sitting in my wardrobe.
Hope you're feeling okay.

That's what I keep doing guys. I know its not ideal lowering the prices and wel all want as much as possible for the books but as Diz said. I want the space so badly and even selling some for a penny you'd still get more than yu would at the car boot sale.
