TEN months and counting...

Six weeks today!!!!:j:j:j Although it is going to be tight for the next couple of months I think it's still doable - would have been much easier if I hadn't spent so much this month but what's done is done... maybe I should try and raise a bit extra so July can be a bit more fun...

This weekend's plan is:

Clean and tidy flat
sort out ironing mountain
Gym x 3
catch up with filing and shredding (it's piling up like mad at the minute:o)
Get fave boots mended

Have already done the shopping and got a couple of vouchers last week for £4 and £4.50 off if you spent over £25 or £30 so used one of those.

thanks Bob, it's bearable now knowing that the pay at the end of July will be all MINE!!!! (minus the mortgage and bills obviously....)

while catching up with the shredding I remembered to call talktalk and arrange a new contract so was all happy with a saving of about £4 then checked my eon bill - new DD will go up by £15!!!! no luck...

my neighbours had a party of sorts last night and I was woken about 5am by them banging about, laughing and shouting in their hall...grrr... and now they seem to be up already and banging about some more - argggghhhh!!!! Mind focused on save, save, saving and MOVING!!!!

Got a shock when I checked internet banking this morning but I think I have less cos I did the car tax yesterday and they haven't updated properly yet so they've taken it off the balance but not mentioned it in the statement.

Lost a few more pounds only 3 more to my next half stone milestone but don't see me making a stone by the end of May...

Have been to the gym twice so far and going swimming tonight before going to see friend. Boots cost £11 to mend!!! I think they only cost £20 to buy but they are very comfy yet still look smart. So budget is now very tight for the rest of the week.

my arms are so tired! Did gym session yesterday then swam half a mile in the evening, maybe that was too much. might leave the weights at the gym today... I did however manage to resist pizza, nibbles, etc at friends last night so quite proud of that.
Need to buy milk today but appart from that should be a nsd.

Went to the gym again and got a pound for attendance - whoop! (ok some generous person left it in the locker actually.) afterwards I went into town and tried on some clothes which was a bad move as I just looked fat, "no dear it's not the jeans that make you look fat, it's your fat..."

I know the feeling skint

me too:o

I had a top on when I went to see Mozza last week and I was literelly bursting out of it.........it fitted lovely at Christmas but I hadnt taken another one with me so I had to wear it. I felt self conscious all night and it did take the edge off what should have been the perfect night.

Well done on the gym and swim Skinty.........at least you are doing something about it.

Lesson learnt Lou - try stuff on before you pack it! I learnt that after assuming the holiday stuff would fit and finding out when there that it bloomin didn't! very limited wardrobe that year...

Glad it's not just me though.
