    i've been reading you're diary too for inspiration, think its impirtant to see how others are doing to keep motivated, and you're doing really well... do you know what your having? bet your both so excited, i can remmeber when i had my first, very tiring and they can be trying at times, like when he threw a big fridge magnet at my tv and cracked the screen :mad: but then they do something or say something to make you laugh. I love em and they make you feel young again, marching round the room to grande old duke of York with a big drum and maracas! what must the neighbours think!! :rotfl:

    well, good luck with your journey and keep up the good work :T

    so far today i've spent loads, well, it was all on petrol and cost me £65 to fill up as i was on red :eek:
    other than this not spent a thing. Made some cakes this morning with my little lad, so we will have them after tea, and tea tonight will be whatever is in the fridge / cupboard.
    All my washing is line drying, so not used my dryer for months in abid to reduce electric bill!

    good luck with your DF journeys and keep up the good work :T

    spent all of yesterday in bed and off to Dr's in a bit, think i've got a bug, either that or OH has tried to kill me off with food poisening! lol.. think he must be sick of me going on at him to get into MSE ways! lol... only joking, he didnt do it on purpose think its my own fault, i bought some reduced sausages and threw them in the freezer, had them for tea sunday and been in bed ever since, OH and lad didnt eat them, so thats all we can think of thats caused it..
    oh well, onwards and upwards...

    as for today i wont be doing much at all,
    i will check bank account and make sure all's in order.
    do a bit of wahing on 30 and dry it on maiden
    check ebay account, dont think anything is due to finish for another day or two.
    thats about it for today really..

    fingers crossed i feel better soon :o

    right, need to get motivated.. As i'm still feeling under the weather decided to set myself goals for the week.. more as a reminder for me before i forget what i need to do.

    wednesday, will check ebay and post items
    thursday will request payment back from paypal and pay off virgin cc when funds clear.
    i need to list some more items on ebay (have to find some more first!)
    remember to check dial is on 30 on washer before i press start!
    check my free bingo winnings have been deposited into bank account :T
    bank loose change into xmas account
    bank money into my account from another account as bought little lad a new bed :rolleyes: i know, but in preparation as he's still in cot bed! and its used from the money i save each month for him from child benefit, i'm trying to justify it to myself now! its really cool, its a racing car one, he picked it, well, him and OH. and its nice to treat him.... going to shut up now!

    what else, there must ne something....

    right, need to get myself going..

    so far today i have done the washing, on 30 of course and it is currently drying on the maiden as weather doesnt look to good :A ,

    i have checked online banking and all looks in order. d/d for natwest visa has come out so thats another £42 off debt total :T

    i've have posted 3 of the items for ebay who have paid so far, only ended last night but if i stay organised then i'll know where i'm up to. Didnt sell for much but every little helps as it was only stuff that had been sat in the garage for ages.

    still need to do the ironing but i hate it so it can wait just a little bit longer.. another hour or two.. :rolleyes:

    what else is there..

    for the rest of the week, once i get all funds from paypal sorted then hopefully it will be another £225 off virgin cc... but i wont applaud myself yet until it has been debited off the card and showing on my online statement!

    budget looks ok for the month anyways so thats good as most of the d/d's come out at the beginning of the month so i know where we are up to in the bills account.

    OH is going to pick up little lads new bed today but we still need to get a matress for it, so i might keep it in the garage untill we have enough in the 20p pot to buy one. they have decent ones for about £30 in a trade place we go to, wait another month and i reckon we'd have enough 20ps, although they are supposed to be towards wedding fund... decisions decisions... matress wins!

    good luck all for todays adventures and keep up the good work :T

    I've done all the housey things i needed to do, washing, ironing, cleaning (cancelled cleaner, although it wont save me it will save OH, only £16 a week but still it will go towards the food shop)

    I need to go to the post office topast another ebay parcel and the stuff the insurance compny have requested about our tv cliam! it is so annoying with all the coloured lines on it but nothing else we can do!

    other than that i need to go to asda to buy some smart price paper for OH, go to the bank to bank some money for him, money to pay my AA membership - although i really should look into changing to RAC as AA is
    £50 :eek: . ANd i need to bank £32 ive withdrwn from xmas fund as when i went into debenhams the other week they had 20% off toys so i bought a few presents and if ipaid on my account card (which i very very rarely use and pay off straight away) i got a free £5 gift card, so i will bank the money today so i can write a cheque as soon as the bill arrives.

    other than that thats it for me today i think, i do need to check if my friend still wants to do a craft fair a week on sunday, and if so i could make a few more cards as little lad will be at nursery today.

    Keep up the good work all :beer:
