    Ooo I didnt think it was that long, I always look at Andans and wish I had that much energy lol. This thread keeps me motivated really, though I have left a few of mine for tomorrow as I am shattered, will maybe look at my budget but will leave the ebay and seeds till the morning.

    I never quite realise why mine is so long, with my situation though, i have a goal to aim for, i really want to set up my own business and train to become a counsellor, without the right foundation i won't get there. Plus i'm one of those really sad people who likes achieving lots of things:rotfl:

    This thread definately keeps me motivated though and everyone elses posts do, i wouldn't have achieved anywhere near as much as what i did yesterday if it wasn't for the fact i was posting on here and because i said i was going to do it i felt like i had to because in a way i'd be letting you lot down.

    Good tip is to do things in small burst so you never get bored with it and swap your dfw things around so that you have plenty of variety to keep you motivated.

    Anyway, after all that, i have managed to achieve most things on my list, although the annoying O.U assignment isn't looking good:o

    Sunnydoo, best of luck with the exam tomorrow, get a good night's sleep and am sure you'll do fine.

    Sophiesmum, hope the babysitting went well.

    Thanks Sophiesmum,

    Yes its been a good day. My DD and me have been getting on well today too. (and that is very rare). She says I have been nice today so maybe I'm usually a right grumpy cow, I don't know. I thought I was mainly OK, just a bit loopy:T

    Happy today - I am happier now I can see an end to our debt mountain, with having a buyer for the house. Survey being done on Thurs, will take 4 hrs apparently, hope its OK:eek:

    Tess xx:j
    Total debt at May 08 - £28,934.53 :eek:
    Proud to be dealing with my debts!

    Evening all,

    Another late evening for me as always. Sounds like everyones had a good day with all those long lists. :T

    My dfw things for today:
    • charged up phone at work
    • Asda - got a reduced chicken £1.79 (DH has cooked up for dinner tomorrow;) ) and reduced frying steak which had obviously been marked down incorrectly at £0. It scanned at £0.01 :T
    • Got a call from mystery shop agency who asked if I was available at the weekend to order a takeaway. Was told I'd get paid an extra £3 on top of normal rate so that was a nice surprise.
    That's all I can think of. :o

    Hello,

    today I took my breakfast and lunch to work

    packaged up some ebay items to post

    went swimming at the local leisure centre and signed up for their resident's permit (£5 a year and a couple of quid off each swim)

    Fiddled about with my homemade CC payment calculator - this month's ebaying has sliced a month off my DF day!
    DEBT FREE! Sep '08/£9,800 in Oct '06 :beer:

    Not much today - piggy and quidco clicks, posted ebay parcels, did a MS this evening at a pub, so OH and I had a nice free drink for an hour too, took lunch to work, avoided food at pub and cooked at home. Busy work day...

    Try harder tomorrow...!
