    :j Good day so far. I have even managed to get my ironing up to date :eek:

    Tomorrow will be harder as I am in the office all day so need to make sure I use my time in the evening once my likely girl is in bed for some more debt busting.

    Well done you - sounds as though you have the bit between your teeth :p

    A busy day today but unfortunately not very MSE.

    Day didn't start well. I was just leaving the house when my little girl came downstairs sobbing as she thought I was leaving her on her own. She is only 3 bless her so was a big trauma. She had heard me downstairs and hadn't realised hubby was in our bedroom. So had to stop back and have big cuddles. Hubby managed to get her in our bed to by offering her the TV lol. Really pulled my heart strings though and drove to work wishing I could afford to be a full time SAHM.

    Was good when I got to work didn't park in the car park like I sometimes do, £7 a day :eek: but parked in a side street and had a nice 20 min wander into work.

    Rest of the day was hectic work was really busy. Came home sorted my little girls tea, did some housework, bathed and put her to bed. Then cooked mine and hubbies dinner and now just sitting down. So far nowt done to increase the money coming in :o

    ah, bless....I hope the trauma didn't last too long x

    Don't worry about the (lack of) debtbusting - tomorrow is another day!!

    Well another day of not much debt busting as been in work all day.

    But another day where I avoided parking fees so a mini pat on my back.

    Looking forward to the weekend and getting some money making happening.

    Will be listing more stuff on Ebay and also going to listen to some more STP. Every penny counts.

    Been looking at my direct debits today and really don't think we can decrease out outgoings by much so definately a cash of bringing more money in.

    I am tempted to sign up for some mystery shopping but not sure if I have the upfront cash to do them as don't you need to buy things etc.

    Mmmmmmmmmm definately need to think what else I can do. Do surveys already but have been saving up for vouchers for a cheap Christmas hopefully.

    Well an exciting start to my day. My SILs waters have broke so it looks like there will be another addition to our family at some point over the weekend.

    Can't wait. Luckily I have been getting little presents for the baby for a while so won't be needing to rush out and buy anything. :D

    Thanks Mizmir she is very cute but sooooooooooo teeny.

    Well the excitement of the weekend meant I got very little done towards my debt free journey. Was in work all day yesterday as well but today I am working from home so should have time to get some bits done.

    My little girl is poorly though so probably won't get as much done as she loves her mummy cuddles when she is ill.

    Todays to do list :

    - check online banking - done
    - set up standing orders for minimum payments on all my debts (I have an awful habit of forgetting to pay things :o )
    - clear the ironing pile
    - line dry the washing instead of bunging in the tumble dryer
    - photograph more bits for ebay
    - wrap pressies for my niece
    - Mop kitchen floor - done

    That will do for now although have a feeling I need to do more.
