    Today I have;

    - Checked online banking and moved Quidco money over to savings.
    - Played free bingo, didn't win
    - Took lunch to work
    - Bought friened an engagement gift using vouchers and staff discount, so didn't cost anything.
  • Well ive just got home from work and have decided to dye my hair (grey hairs and only £2.93 to get rid of them, feeling so down about my appearance so have decided to come straight home, dye my hair pedicure my feet and do a bit of ebay sorting all before i go to cook dinner!!!! I feel this is money saving doing it myself as i would be looking at £70 at my hairdressers which i can not afford which has resulted in hair showing the grey!!! hopefully this will give me a bit of motivation!!!!!!

    Thanks Sophiesmum, have dyed my hair and i def feel slightly better about myself. hopefully i can get up and into motivation!!!

    gave myself a pedicure,
    done dinner from store cupboard!
    just listed 2 items and am forcing myself to list 2 more!
    then need to crack on with preparing my letters to send tomorrow

    hugs to you all!!

    Uh oh, I have finally opened the scary post and now I need to write following letters:

    - 1 to council
    - 1 to bailiffs
    - 1 to BT
    - 3 to different financial institutes
    - 3 to different collection agencies

    I struggle with motivation. I am trying to figure out how to treat myself after each letter. Please note there is no alcohol in the house :rotfl:Good thing too as that kind of reward might affect the last laters in quite interesting way.

  • Well done Marru for opening your post and organising what letters you need to write. thats really good and inspiring for me!

    motivation is a hard thing and something i lack so much!!

    treat yourself.... do you have something naughty to eat in the cupboard? give yourself a pedicure, or save all of them up and treat yourself to a day off when you can have one, just to relax!!!!!!!

    Thanks, actually I will have hot lunch date on Sunday so I will keep thinking of how much nicer it will be for me when I don't have all these unwritten letters to stress me out.

    Hi and welcome Vikki - DSs are sons or DDs are daughters

    Marru - well done on scary post, before your LBM I bet you would have ignored them.

    Baby - He is fine now thanks, he was lying in my arms having his milk when he had it so think now on hot days I will feed him his milk in his chair. I was so careful with him too, in the shade all day, no clothes on in the house, plenty of water to drink.

    Pookie - Good luck with interview
