Well done on thinking about the positives, and WOO SLEDGING!!!

Hiya Jolly
So sorry to read you been feeling down in the dumps. It's good you even writing it down though and recognise it and sounds like OH is there for you so thats good too. Don't be too hard on yourself. It's not easy to change the habits of a lifetime and we all have bad days. I haven't been posting much either and I am annoyed at myself too as I have been wasting money on things unnecessarily and getting annoyed at myself - even for the stupid things like spending £1 on a bottle of water and being too lazy to get meals organised and ending up going to the chip shop and spending £12 for three of us on rubbish. :mad: But hey, one day at a time, we need to tell ourselves if we do fall off now and then, we just need to pick ourselves up and get straight back on the straight and narrow the next day.
Hope you feel a bit better now anyway, and you are not all bruised and bashed after your sledging! LOL
I am so going to try to keep popping in more regularly as it does keep me focussed but sometimes it just hard finding the time to come on here!
So take care and speak soon.

Sadly feeling much better after a good tidy up of the house I'm just sat down to chill out with a cuppa before bed. OH gets home in a while so might wait up for him - shift work :mad:

FF - def important to focus on the positives. It works!

Primula - noticed you hadn't been about for a while. Hope you are well. Totally agree with you, def have to pick ourselves up and get straight back on the straight and narrow. Sounds like my diets that start every day

I'm going to have to keep posting daily again, it really helps keep me on track and focused.

All the snow is going.....:( Not before I got to go up to the hills and sleigh down them first thing this morning though :rotfl: We were the only ones up their (mind you we did set alarms to see sunrise!) and it was such fun. Felt like action woman!!

Back to reality. On track to be able to add some money to my savings account. I think once bills have come out I should have about £100 to last me until next payday so hopefully by cutting back I should be able to add something to it and start my savings off well with my first pay pack of 2009. Hoping Feb will be even better as a bit of overtime gone in.

Today have managed......

• Enjoy the snow
• Fold and pack away washing from yesterday
• No Spend Day :T
• Cleaned en-suite bathroom

Not much but little things all add up. Have a wash load on at the mo so will put that out to dry over night. Kitchen is all clean, dishwasher is on and sides are clear. Not a bad day really.

Need to get back into the money side of things and ways to be better. Still doing daily scratch cards but need to do more!!!

So glad you're feeling a bit more positive, and yay to sledging! I'm glad you had fun

Oops....as I was saying....

Think this is going to turn into a 'Jollys lifestyle change' diary. So many areas to think about. OH and I weighed ourselves last night (not that he has a prob) but I am over half stone heavier than I was just before xmas and probably the heaviest I have been in a long time :mad:

• Checked online banking
• Daily scratch card (slowly building up)
• Checked Greasy Palms - due approx £40 cashback in March :T

So food for today.....

Breakfast - bowl of special K, skimmed milk
Snack- orange

Still have a few things to do but not sure on the run tonight, may opt for a nice relaxing yoga dvd session as very tense today. I will do some form of exercise though!

Evening all,

So from my to do list earlier I have managed the following -

• Daily scratch cards
• Checked online banking
• Greasy palms - due cashback(need to check when)
• Aim for NSD
• Pack away clothes that are drying
• Healthy eating day
• Change beds

Not to bad eh? Didn't do the exercise part and not done yoga dvd (naughty!) but have managed the healthy eating so it's a start

Aim to keep a little food diary going along here as well as motivational bits for money and tallies etc. Keeps me organised and motivated some what.

Hope everyone is having a lovely evening x
