A rough timeline for the next 18ish months

The rest of April:  finish the Toni trilogy
May and June: work out how to use Poser Debut
July to October:  edit all my manuscripts
November is NaNo
December and January:  take a deep breath and pay off BC
February: back to editing again
March: cancel BC direct debit and put the £75 I save each month onto SB and CO
April 2017: plan out NaNo novel
May 2017: improve my Poser knowledge
June 2017: pay off SB, cancel the direct debit and put the full £150 a month onto CO
July to September 2017: pay off CO
October: celebrate being debt free for the first time since I was 18!

If I can keep away from spending for the rest of the year then I'll only have 2 cards left to pay off in 2017 and by the end of 2017 I'll be totally debt free!  I'll be able to afford to help pay for the food and stuff for the first time since I moved to Gloucester!

Good job I had...

...saved up £350 for my domain renewals 'cos they've been taken already even though they weren't due for renewal until the end of April!

It means that I can concentrate on putting £400 a month aside to pay off my three credit cards in full by the end of next year!

Most of the renewals were for 2 years, so I only need about £100ish next April which is a huge relief!

Just got to stop spending on things I want but don't need now, then I'll have £550 to play with each month that I haven't got atm... the end really is in sight!

You and me head on for the next 18 months, spending addiction, and I'm going to beat you into the ground!  lol

Much more productive already this morning!

Woke up at just gone 7am, walked, fed and watered the pup, booted up my laptop, caught up with 2 of the 3 forums, downloaded my email and I'm already about to start writing and it's only 8.37am!

Anyone fancy sharing...

... half a box of seedless black grapes with me?

They are yummy but they need to be eaten today or they'll be wasted and Steve's got some seedless green grapes in the kitchen that need to be eaten by tomorrow!  lol

1pm and still haven't written a word!

I came downstairs at 7.15am, watched Masterchef Australia and The Bill, walked and fed Mitzi and I haven't done anything since then!

Oops!

I'm going to write at least a chapter now though... otherwise it'll be another wasted day *sigh*

Poser Debut is...

...a huge, detailed, wonderful, 3D programme that I'm going to use as a treat for writing at least 2 chapters a day.  If I don't write at least 2 chapters then I'm not allowed to open it up!

You watch, I'll forget before tomorrow!  lol

Can someone remind me, please...

... to look for my Poser and Manga Studio software when I go to bed please?

The pup flooded the street again this morning!

When I took Mitzi out for her walk this morning, she flooded the street with her wee again!  It was huge and lasted forever even by her standards!  lol

Two and a half chapters written today

I've written the same amount today as I did before I went to bed last night, been a pig for tea from Domino's Pizza and I'm all caught up with forum posts too so I've had a productive weekend!

Apparently...

...I'm "getting quite domestic" according to Steve just now because I've just put the washing on as well as sorting out the clothes last night and binning the rotten bananas and a take away bag this morning.

I don't mind doing the small things when they need doing, I just don't see why I should be the only person in the house doing it!
