    Hi everybody,

    I hope everybody had a good Easter weekend, althought the weather was not great.

    I managed another NSD yesterday so that is 5/10 for April.

    Hi MF,

    Glad you had a good Easter and well done for managing not to weaken over Lent.

    I am taking a leaf from your book and trying to do some NSDs this month - starting from now and also think about doing some PADs as well.

    14lbs is a great loss - a stone. I am struggling - I had lost 10 lbs on Weight Watchers but didn't go last week and as a result ate for England for 2 weeks and put on 2.5 lbs. Its a slow process but I know I will get there in the end - just wish I could wake up 2 stones lighter :)

    Hi Folks,

    MrsP - Thanks for the comments. I did have a few treats on Easter Sunday and last week though to make up for Lent, so I reckon I have put a few pounds back on. :rotfl:

    Well got to get back to being good this week.

    I managed another NSD on Saturday, so that is 6/10 for the month.

    I also managed PAD's on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. So that is another £30

    I am trying to do a PAD everyday of £5,on top of my minimum payments, even if it means I use the card if I am desparate. That way, hopefully every month I will end up overpaying!!!

    I had a good weekend trading as well and managed to make around £100. I have posted some of my old books on Amazon again and I need to look at clearing some other stuff out.

    Hi Folks,

    Well for the month of April I managed 8/10 NSD's in the end, not bad, but slipped towards the end of the month.

    After a good start to the month trading, the back end of the month was not good and I ended up with no profit for the month, but at least I didn't lose any.

    With my PAD's on my debits, I managed to pay-off a further £324.65 in the month of April.

    Hopefully I can keep it going.

    I am back doing the running now as well after a couple of weeks stuffing my face with Easter Eggs. :rotfl:

    Going to try for another 10 NSD's this month.

    I am going to try and keep the PAD's of £5 going.

    I have also set my Food budget at £150 for the month

    Hi Wiggles01 welcome aboard :-)

    Sorry I have not posted much this month, haven;t really had chance. I will post an updated shortly. I have not done very well this month as I spent quite a bit due to being off work and the parents coming up for a few days.
