Back to work tomorrow - boo! and back to the gym to work of some of the Baileys...

Have been having a wee look at houses tonight and I'm SOOO motivated right now - really hope this is my last xmas here.

Well I made it to work but not the gym due to neighbours waking me during the night. For some reason I am now mentally fast-forwarding my life to July when I can move...

on the upside - NSD!!!

July will be here before you know it...........you are so close now skinty:j

I hope so Lou, just looking forward to getting back into the regular routine again now though - makes things go quicker.

I know what you mean, I am totally enjoying the time off work but the weeks do fly by when you are too busy to wipe your own bum:D

I really need to get to grips with my food budget next year as it seems to have gone up the wall since I started this new job in September.

I'm with you on the food budget, not that I've gone mad but would like to reduce it a bit - it's about £160 a month for the two of us although I do buy bits of clothes and pressies and stuff in there. This month I'm hoping to get it down by £20 and I'll move forward from there (if I manage it).
Having just done some sums I figure I need an extra £265 a month to bring my DFD forward to the end of May... and I'll need to be really good and not spend anything extra at all. Worth a go though...

Are there any mystery shopping companies that cover your area Skinty? I have topped up my income quite nicely with them, some of the banking ones I have done at lunch time from work. Usually average about £30 extra a month which is better than a poke in the eye:D

I registered with 3 Lou but they are generally only offering to cover pizza costs! and I don't like pizza that much lol!

I think I may have to lose the entertainment budget for a while, I usually get some expenses from work too which I haven't included in the budget as they aren't guaranteed, so will have to ebay like mad and cut the food budget right back.
