Best put on my big girl pants! my saving for a deposit diary

today i went for an interview as a volunteer for a cancer charity. and ive accepted a position as an emotional support volunteer.
ive started gaining weight. so im able to give blood later in the year. (i need to gain almost a stone) so far ive gained 1kg in just under 2 weeks.

as you can see some are simple, some are harder. i started it this month . and aim to complete it by january next year

Oh I also need to fit in a doctors appointment this week to sort out my medication and seeing if I can get them put on repeat prescription.

I cant edit my post as I'm on my phone but will delete this one and edit my post above as soon. As I can get on my laptop.

we went for a walk down to the park.
ive sorted my emails out so thats another job crossed off.

my ahstma is really playing me up tonight. i hope it settles.
i planned to do the kitchen drawers tonight . i will see how i feel in a little while.

i picked up some cake mixes . i would normally bake from scratch but these will enable me to whip up a cake a little quicker. ill add them to my list for later in the week

i have 2 hours of online training for work to do this week. and 3 hours for my charity volunteering so ive added that to my ever growing list

ill do a skip run tomorrow on the way to work i think

done a food shop online tonight . its within my budget, but i hope to get the foos budget even lower over the coming months.

I've been window shopping online. found some beautiful things. but i wont buy them while we live here as its just more to move when we eventually do move. can't wait till the day we go shopping for our 'new' home. hopefully the next few years will pass without too much stress.

im off to sort out my junk drawers , and have a bath, hopefully ill even have some time to read some of my book .

goodnight all x

Need to check my to do lists and see what else is on there.
I also need to shuffle money around due to an unexpected bill.

I'm very tempted to pay off my catalogue . Then I'll only have my loan debt.

I'll think about that one.

brrr its cold outside.

been to work. picked eldest up from school. came home. made 2 cheese cakes . cooked the kids tea . im off to bed now. im tired and achy, theres a bit of washing up in the sink but it can wait till tomorrow now. other than that the place is tidy i havent done any of my studies tonight so i must crack on with that tomorrow. i need to order some ink cartridges for the printer as i need to print off a form to send with my birth certificate to see if im eligible for funding for my nvq , i hope i am i really dont fancy spending out £2400 in fees for it. and the owner of the place i work for has refused to chip in despite my managers best efforts to talk him round. failing that i may look for a job where they are willing to help towards my nvq costs . from the research ive done i should qualify for the learner loan . fingers crossed. i was going to start my degree again soon. but now im thinking ill be better to get my nvqs first . another thing to think about,
