    Off on my hols a week tomorrow :j:j



    I want to go away feeling the best I possibly can so here's my one week master plan
    1. lose 2lbs - this will really give me a boost
    2. 4 x sunbed sessions - naughty but a bit of a boost
    3. 3 x exercise sessions
    4. drink a litre of water a day
    5. daily gradual tan
    6. daily skin care and foot care
    7. daily hair shine treatment
    8. 2 x face pack
    Not achieved the weight loss I'd hoped for but don't want it to be an issue on holiday - I deserve this break. Therefore gonna do this one week plan so that I feel really good when I go next week :D

    Need to spend the weekend getting my stuff sorted, trying on outfits, etc - I am only taking clothes I feel good in :rolleyes:

    Also, need to tidy the apartment, get all my paperwork sorted and update my spreadsheet so that everything is organsied for when I go away. I will have a really busy 4 days at work so I want to get all my personal stuff sorted over the weekend

    Will update with a 'done' list tomorrow - no more 'to do' lists - they are de-motivating :D

    Yay! Bet you can't wait.

    Hope you are feeling better now and what better for a proper recovery than a holiday ;) x

    Hi everybody

    Today I have:
    • eaten well
    • feet and hair done
    • drank a litre of water
    • sunbed session
    I also did my shopping trip to Manchester and was fairly good!
    • clarins sun cream - bought with vouchers
    • pajamas and a necklace - bought with vouchers
    • 4 x vests and a bikini - Primark, £9.00 in total!
    • essentials only in Boots
    I now only have about £10 to last me until payday on Thursday :eek: but I am determined to stick to my cash allowance, my PAD and other cut backs will then be a total of £150 - to either throw at debts or treat my self on my hols :D

    Had a letter from one of my creditors looking for a 20% increase in my payment but I can, just about, afford it so have altered my SO, getting to my debt free date slightly quicker! It's still about 7/8 years away though :eek: Also got an electricity bill and it's about correct so hopefully can build up a bit of credit over the Summer so I don't have to increase payments again next Winter :mad:

    And United have just won 5-2 :j:j

    Consider this your shove/telling :D Although you shouldn't be so hard on yourself, you have done loads already :T

    Hi


    Made myself get a wriggle on and now I have;
    • filed paperwork
    • packed 2 x mobile phones to post off
    • cleaned bathroom and ensuite
    • put 2nd load of washing on
    • tidied apartment
    • taken rubbish out
    • hoovered
    Sometimes I get really cross with myself! There is only 1 and a half hours between my posts so I obviously do have time to keep on top of all the day-to-day stuff - but so often I just don't :mad:

    Thanks to those of you who gave me a shove in the right direction - it worked :D
