Quorn cottage pie and...

I'm going to do tea tonight for me and 'im.  I'm going to have Quorn cottage pie, but what goes with it?  What shall I cook for Steve?  Do I dare to do pasta bake or shall I stick to something like hamburgers and chips or wrap sausages with bacon or something like that?  I'm far from a chef but I enjoy cooking as long as I don't forget about getting the food out of the oven!  Yes, seriously!

I'll go and have a look now!  lol

OK, so we're having Quorn hot dog sausages and potato wedges for tea and I'll do it all!  Yay!

Going to give pasta bake a try next time... you watch me screw it up!  lol

Steve's doing vegetarian spag bol for us instead  :-/

What should I do?

I can afford £250 a month for the electric wheelchair but do I save up £1500 and just get the wheelchair of my dreams or do I get my freedom sooner (July) with the Capricorn chair but only go 6 miles and having to recharge the battery every day but be able to go out on my own again?

I think I said recently that I would go with the Capricorn didn't I?

Such are the joys of brain damage I suppose!  :-(

I've got to pay for a replacement prescription pre-payment certificate at the end of May which will save me £85 during 2014 but it's £104 I forgot to account for!  :-(

It means that I'll be £104 worse off than I was thinking but it's only once a year so it'll be worth it which is another reason for me to go with the Capricorn too... :-/

I've decided...

Just me again!

I'm going to not spend anything until I'm paid at the end of the month when I'll get my prescription pre-payment card and a couple of trousers and I'll still be comfortably in credit so that I'm that much closer to buying the wheelchair - just got to sort out the insurance and breakdown cover and extended warranty for it now!

I'm a greedy pig :-(

I've already had a small pot of melon chunks and 2 slices of carrot cake as well as bringing a multi-pack of chocolate in with me and it's only 10.25am!

*sigh*

Got to remember...

Got to remember to re-apply for my pre-payment prescription card on the 8th May so that I can get it sorted for when my current card runs out - you watch me forget!  lol

My spending addiction

According to Steve, I should get a letter about renewing my pre-payment card so I'm going to leave it until 19th May and if I haven't had the letter by then I'll do it online... sorted!

Also, having a bath seems to drown my addiction 'cos it hasn't niggled at me since I had a bath yesterday!  Yay!

Prescription pre-payment card - now or later?

I pay almost £105 for a year's pre-payment card for my prescriptions.

My current card runs out on 7th June.

Do I give in to my spending addiction and get it now or do I wait until I'm paid at the end of May?

So far, so good today!

I woke up at 7am instead of 6.30am with my alarm, oops!

Let Steve's re-enabler in, walked Mitzi and I'm about to have a bath - nothing spectacularly wonderful to most people but I'm feeling like I've already achieved a lot!

Just got to resist spending anything until July now!  If I'm careful about my spending then I'll be able to afford everything I want and still be in credit at the bank by July... just got to focus on that now!

Yaaay!

I've just worked out why I haven't got £400 in my bank account... I used it to pay off my overdraft!  That means that I'll be able to stay in credit and pay Steve back the £250 I owe him at the end of May then I'll be able to get the Capricorn chair in July, stay in credit at the bank and still have £75 a month to play with if I want to!

Spending addiction - if you're kind to me I'll let you spend the £75 however you want to... clothes, chocolate, books, magasines... anything you want is yours if you leave me alone until I've got the chair!  Deal?

I've done it! I've done it! I've done it!

I'm back in credit by £253 and I've got £1,003 available to spend if I include my arranged overdraft!  Such a good feeling!  If I don't spend anything between now and July, I'll be able to comfortably afford the wheelchair and still be comfortably in credit too!

Screw you spending addiction!
