My Shiny New Diary!!

**Amy**

WOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.... its the weekend!!!!! :j :beer:

Ahem... now i have that out of my system!!! :rotfl: I went food shopping this morning, my sister took me (she did hers) which meant i didnt spend on bus or taxi fare.

I am £13 under my weekly budget, im so proud of myself! First time i have ever been under, its fantastic.

Also, i found an old duvet that one of my cats had a peeing accident on ages and ages ago. I did clean it, but kept it in case (i have no real idea why as i wont use it :rolleyes: ) i got it down to throw away, and both cats are curled up asleep on it. And there was me saving up to get them a cat blanket thingy... think they have caught the DFW bug!

Anyhoo... best get on, going for a nice hot bath and to get in PJs and snuggle up.

:hello:

Listed some items on ebay this morning. Fingers crossed they sell.

Feeling a bit bored at home now. Cant really go anywhere as i dont have transport... and anywhere i go would involve spending money, which i dont want to do... so im sat indoors with both mahoosive cats lounging over me! :rotfl: Could be worse i guess!

Hi Amy, glad to see its going well for you.

I know what you mean about another boring Sunday. I've spend the morning packing up my e-bay and amazon sales from the weekend. Got mum cooking me lunch and am going to pop up to see my cusin after lunch. I'm trying to get her into the monsey-saving ways. Have set her up on Amazon and typed out some letters for her lazy son to get out and find a job.

Apart from that, the day is boring for me also.....

**Amy**

Its terrible really cos i love weekends, i.e not working!! :rotfl: I just feel like i should be doing something?? But then i feel bad for leaving the cats...:rolleyes: Haha... im so silly!!

Think i might make myself something nice for lunch... not sure what yet... will go and raid the cupboards!

Hope you find something nice.

Once I get paid at the end of May I'm going to start meal planning again for June. My shopping habits have become all higgledy piggledy lately.

**Amy**

Yeah i cant meal plan as i never know how hungry i will feel... so i pay a few meals and then the rest is mismash stuff! :rotfl: I find it works well!!

Right off for lunch.

:hello:

What a fab start to the day. I had several guys checking me out this morning, and that NEVER happens to me! :rotfl:

I have just checked my stars in the paper i was reading at lunch:

You're certainly starting the week with a bang! Today's Full Moon promises fun and flirtation as well as a healthy sense of adventure. This is one of those days you'll come to remember in years to come - make the most of it!

:j

Anyway back to money matters. I have paid in a cheque and some of my money from my penny jar. Paying in the rest tomorrow (it is too heavy to bring in one go!).

I have listed some items on ebay, but had second thoughts about one so took it off! Its a gold bracelet my dad bought me 2 christmas' ago. He never buys me "special" stuff, but unfortunately its yellow gold and i dont wear yellow gold, but have been told i can get it dipped in white for about £15 so will hold onto it I think. Shame as well as it had 5 watchers already! :rolleyes:

Going to turbo list a load of other items tonight (i really didnt have the right frame of mind yesterday to do a lot) so fingers crossed they all sell.

Cant wait until next week (payday) and when my money from Paypal goes into my account and i can make a mahoosive payment off of my credit card (well mahoosive compared to the £90 a month i normally pay :cool: ).

:hello:

Oh wow, firstly i just added up all my debts etc. and have noticed that somehow i addedd £600 to my debt! It is probably through the council tax/rent arrears, but i figure that since i am paying them off as part of my current monthly rent/council tax i can discount them? I know im probably being cheeky but its made me feel tons better! :rotfl: :j

I am also very proud of myself this month as I seem to be keeping on target with my budget, and I think i may even have money left over in my bank account, which hasnt happened for years! :eek:

Im just waiting for my Paypal money to go into my bank account so that I can then make a payment on my CC, and maybe even get it below £3K (which again its hasnt been for about 18 months :rolleyes: :eek: ).

I didnt list anything on ebay last night, i was so tired. Instead i went to bed early and watched TV in bed! I WILL do it tonight though, as i have put all the items on my sofa, so if i want to sit down tonight, i will first have to sort them out!

Anyway, hope everyone has a good day.

I have finally listed all items on ebay! :j With the help of Turbo Lister, whcih i am in love with now!

And i have decided my goal for being debt free is to be able to get on the property ladder.

I am eligable for Shared Ownership which is great, but it means i ned around £3k in savings (for fees etc.) and also my debts to be gone so i have extra cash for the mortgage etc.

Im dead excited, and cant stop looking at houses on the net, even though it wont be happening for at least 6 months! :rotfl:

Well done Amy, I'm glad your doing so well. Good luck with the e-bay stuff, hope it shifts for you.
