Blimey the last week has just flown by and has been chaos so nothing much happened debt busting wise. I really need to get on top of things and make sure I am doing a little something everyday.

I have this week off work so intend to use my time spending no money, making more money and getting my house tidy.:D

Todays to do list:

- clear laundry basket
- clear ironing pile :mad:
- check online banking
- do daily clicks
- List more items on Ebay.
- Meal plan ready to go shopping tomorrow.
- change duvet covers
- File paperwork into new filing cabinet

I am sure they may be more things to do so will probably end up adding to this during the day.

dottyanne

im fine ta - trying to keep a tight graps on finances - puttin off ringing TC as i know they are going down and cant afford the next 2 weeks without the payments. god knows how we will cope once they do!!

Why are they going down? Think I may have you missed you saying before.

I have to do my renewal but we only get the bare minimum so luckily I don't have to worry about them changing too much.

dottyanne

well i reckon that weve made more this financail year than the last coz hubbys jobs were erratic last year so as he earned less we got more, now hes stable and judging by the P60 he got i went online and looks like we will be on bare minimums too. - thing is i made the mistake of counting on this money for budget and bills so not sure how were going to wangle the figures about once they do go down.

Tomorrows tasks

- park in street not in extortionate car park
- take pack up to work
- iron whatever hubby has washed/dried during the day
- list 5 more items on ebay
- complete a least an hour of study.

Well another week is almost over thank fudge. Working from home today thank god as I am shattered. My little girl had a bad night and was very unsettled, not sure whats wrong with her she just kept moaning and groaning and calling me but didn't want anything when I went in to see her, kids eh

Still not much happening debt wise, although it's not going up it's not going down either. I haven't made many overpayments this month as it seems to have been really tight.

We are off on hols in 3 weeks so will need to save a chunk of next months wages for spending money. Part of me wishes we hadn't booked the holiday but a much larger part of me is pleased we did as we could do with two weeks in the sun and together as a family.

Realistically I won't be doing much MSE until September now. I would really like to get an action plan up and running for September to be as tight as I can and make some hefty overpayments. Also need to start thinking about Xmas again, I have a bit saved and have a few presents bought too but haven't bought much now for the last couple of months.

Not a huge amount planned for today as hubby has been on nights and is now tucked up in bed so unfortunately I can't be banging around doing the house work............. shame

So think today I will:

- check online banking see if any room for an overpayment however small
- daily clicks
- list 10 bits on ebay at least
