  • achievements so far today...

    watered all house plants
    sorted out newspapers from all over house and put in recycling
    soup is made!! cake in oven!!
    done washing up
    just eaten last nights left overs for lunch.

    getting ready for vets now
    have e-mailed freecycler and arranged to do swap tomorrow
    will get round to lasagne later on - too hot now!!!

    doing well!!
    returned from vets - cat has ringworm and i could catch it too :(:(:(. he has to be bathed every couple of days in special shampoo until it goes - not very happy about this and i guess he won't be either :(:(

    freecycle swap is sorted for tomorrow - ties in with trip to morrisons so saving on fuel!

    just had a look in fridge and carrots not looking particularly nice any more although could probably make some (more) soup... going to have a look on recipe thread to see what i can work out - unless anyone on here has a fave recipe to share??
    it's nice to be important but more important to be nice!! :kisses3:

    Confession time for me :o
    i am rejoining my health club which is going to cost me £32 a month.:eek:
    But in my defence
    • I can afford it - even doing the £4000 a year challenge
    • I need to go as I need the exercise and swimming is the only sport i like/can do
    • I intend to go daily with a friend - so we can kick each other up the backside if things start to slide
    • I will be driving but friend will be paying for a coffee afterwards.
    • I need an hours relaxation time to myself as i have a lot of stuff to deal with at the moment - and i intend to use the sauna and jacuzzi after swimming.
    • I don't drink, don't smoke and rarely go out so don't have many other vices;)
    Okay think I have justified it to myself now:rotfl: :rotfl:
    Reduce,re-use, recycle.

    Hey all,

    I went out last night to a work's do (only spent a tenner!) and got very drunk, been feeling a little delicate today so not done as much as I would like! I wasn't planning an NSD today as I needed cat food but my lovely dad came over and insisted on paying for my shopping, result!

    So today I have:
    • Done Clicks
    • Ordered my birthday present from Dad online through Quidco and used a £4 off voucher I found on MSE as well
    • Sliced the pie a bit
    • Possibly found a second job :j
    • Eaten from stores
    • Did shopping with meal plan in mind and stuck to it!
    Off to veg in front of the sofa again now :o

    Hope everyone's well xx

    I don't think I've ever been happier to read a post! And no, I don't work for a heath club or gym....:rolleyes:

    One of the reasons I'll never post an SOA is i'd get complete hell for it. I have Sky (half price full package for the year with free broadband). I have a monthly gym membership which until recently I wasn't using (I get my moneys worth out of it now after a weight lightbulb moment. -where is the little fat smiley when you need it-)

    I'm sure there are other things that would have people shaking their heads and wagging their fingers at me but on paper, and even with paying off my debts I can afford these things.

    I can justify them in many ways but you know what? I'm not going to.

    Thank you SOOOOOOO much Sophiesmum. You've made me feel like a normal person again, and not a failing DFW.

    rant over... sorry everyone!

    :hello: - Proud to be dealing with my debts!:j DFW nerd No. 1011!
    I'm back, and this time I mean business!
    If you need to talk to someone confidentially call Samaritans on 08457 90 90 90 or email jo@samaritans.org
    My heart knows me better than I know myself so I'm going to let it do all the talking.

    Sophiesmum you do not need to justify the health club membership, you are debt free, you work hard and need a break, and you have a lot on, you need to unwind properly so just enjoy it!
