Flying gleefully into 2009 - One Fresians adventures in debt-busting

mooomin

Please get yourself a cuppa tea and a biscuit if you're on Page 5 - you have a long way to go, grasshopper

May as well do an update while I'm here:

Nothing new on the debt-busting front I'm afraid. Food diary (Not so good!) is below:

Breakfast: Special K and Semi-skimmed milk
Lunch: Ham sandwich (Only one!) and vanilla yoghurt
Snacks: Apple, packet of plain Hula Hoops, 3 choccy digestives and about eight choccies from a packet of Heroes that was sitting in work and being offered around! Salted popcorn (About 40g I think)
Dinner: Home-made chilli a la tomtombeanie with boiled rice

Ok, I have eaten a lot of not-so-good snacks, and have done sod all exercise today, so that will have to improve!

I really need to get sorted out with selling things on Ebay/Amazon. I have a plan to put things in an Ebay box tomorrow night and list them on Saturday morning when OH is asleep, otherwise he will steal my internets! I think if I list them via Turbolister I can choose when the auctions start, or at least store them and upload all at once.

Plans, plans, plans!

hi there
i hate it when people pass stuff round at work and you are trying to be good
it is a case of portion control tho my other half eats loads and until i moved in i used to eat a reasonable portion
he blames it on his mother and how he was brought up
trying not to pass the habbit down to my daughter!!
ebay is great the post office women in my village joked that my house must be rather bare, but believe me i have lots to go
also, mum and dad decided to clear their attic out and found loads of items from my childhood that are now vintage
some items i have kept for when my daughter is old enough but it is shocking what people will pay for flower fairied lol
keep up the good work
i must admit i am rather addicted too and you are a great motivator
keep up the good work:T:T:T

We;ve got 7 birthdays in 19 days at work in June, one of them being mine, and it's traditional to bring in cakes and goodies! I'm going to be the size of a house!

Can I list my food diary on your thread, I know I've got my own, but if you're motivated them so am I...

Thank Crunchie it's Friday...

Herein lies my grand plan:

• Ebay at least ten items
• Clean bathroom
• Sort out more [strike]sh*te[/strike] quality merchandise for boot sale
• Finish clearing out hall cupboard
• Ask lovely friend with car if she will do a run to the tip with me
• Go to supermarket and buy lots of veg
• Batch cook and freeze soup
• Send OHs broken phone to Mazuma
  

Now, must go and get ready for work, take out washing and do some dishes. Unlikely any of this will be done. Currently roasting my jeans over an open (gas) fire as [strike]muppet[/strike] lovely OH forgot to hang them out yesterday and they are the only ones that fit me well!

Tis one of my favourite chocs that, and I can never say no to a Flake either. Top tip: don't eat Flakes on the move as they are very messy. They are purely a stationary consumption type treat.

FINALLY FINISHED!! :rotfl:

Wow - what a read..Glad I finished it!
Can I just say that you've done brilliant with the debt busting..
Really impressed with what you've achieved - especially with the teeth problems you've had - ouch!

I'm also on some sort of weight loss crusade and have recently purchased a new bicycle (I know, I know - spending money!) so that I can cycle to work!

Massive improvement for me as I've literally gone fro no exercise whatsoever to cycling nearly 8 MILES a day! Legs feel like concrete and jellified when I get off my bike but I'm hoping it's going to be well worth it....;)

Anyway, keep up with the great work (and diary) and I'll catch up later!

Food

Breakfast - Special K and semi-skimmed milk
Lunch - omelette with chorizo, spring onion, cheese and potato. Took side salad instead of chips, felt virtuous.
Dinner - cheese on toast
Snacks - banana, packet of Love Hearts, nine chocolate digestives

Not amazing really, although I think the guilt from typing it all down will eventually work

Having a poo day today, tired and emotional and blah. Shall be a perkier Fresian in the morning.

Night all.
