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

Keeping_Positive

Right just spent £300 on a car. A battered old L reg Vauxhall that wil need a couple of hundred or so spent on it. Its roadworthy now just want to have a service on it. Now we can sell our car for c 2-2.5k and throw it at the debt.

Supposed to be working today but done almost sod all. So will have to do some tonight and lots tomorrow before night out and some at the weekend.

Payday so another loan instalment gone out. Now sub 16.5k. Hope with car in the next month it can get to 15k. Still go ages to go which is a bit depressing.

Declared my GC challenge did ok on that but not very good on other stuff. OH, holiday and kid budgets all blown. really need to tackle these. Not helping by tomorrows trip across the channel. C £150 for that. I feel he has earnt it though by giving up he beloved car for an old banger. He will be able to drive the new company car next month when Ive not got it .

Hi Wendy,you seem on top of things as usual. Sorry about the car but sometimes we have to make sacrifices to get the debt paid off. You've done really well so far and you mustn't forget that.

Hope you have a good day.

Last night was fun but I was home at 12! Wasnt the free night I was expecting spent £12 on just three drinks before and during the meal (wine or water other choices yuk). The free bar didnt open until after dinner at 10pm and then just had one free drink. Ended up with a headache and just wanting to come home so grabbed a lift. I think the anti d's dont mix with alcohol.

Wore my new trousers and an old top I found at the back of wardrobe. Have worn for at least two work dos but didnt care. Everyone said I looked nice which made me feel good. Also had some nice comments about my work so all in all a really nice evening.

OH has gone so wont see him till this evening. So far got some hot cross buns in BM hoping this will help with my bad eating habits at work. Better for waist and pocket. DD1 shaping some hobnobs to go in the oven as the lastlot went already!

Done a shopping list which has also of home baking stuff running out of supplies!

TO DO LIST

Finish hobnobs without burning them - done altough one half a little browner than wanted more for me though!
Get me and kids dressed done at last stopped to watch American idol
Put Xbuns in oven to finish - forgot they need to prove first so thats just started
Go shopping (three kids in store to get bargains or shop online? not sure which to do) need to do that now not looking forward to it . Will see if next door will watch one or two of them for me.
Sort and label carboot stuff
Sort DD2 clothes or at least pull a load of non fit stuff out for car boot
Load car for tommorow
Check girls uniforms ok for tomorrows St Georges day parade in the afternoon
Do some work I should have done yesterday

Phew tired just reading that back

Hi Wendy, there just doesn't seem to be enough time to get everything done does it? I've listed a few things on e-bay again this morning. Have had no luck there ar all so I'm hoping my luck is about to change. I've just got the usual weekend cleaning planned today, you'll know what its like won't you?

The hobnobs sound lovely, pity you couldn't send me some!

Good luck with ebay GR. I need to investigate more I think. Bundles of kids clothes were going ok so may brave that if no good at car boot. See what I think when I go through them later. Yo have to try the hobnobs so easy and yummy. Two gone from todays batch already!

ISOM that top does look nice I love nice comfy ones that still look good and can be worn loads. I think you have a good find there.

Car boot I am in two minds about now Sis came over so spent two hours catching up with her which was great. Now doing a quick HM pizza for DS and me. DD2 at park and DD1 swimming wth friend so with figure something out later for them.

Should mow the lawn. Its as dry as it will get long and forecast is rain.

Did you get to the car boot in the end I wonder?!! I TOTALLY blame you for the fact that I made the flipping hobnobs & they are just too delicious to leave alone!! Not a good idea for a piggy like me & I'll take the rest into work tomorrow as I'll just eat em all otherwise!! Have a look at weezle vs usd thread on old style - quite incredible how she eats for so little!!
