beanielou

Its gone Paid two payments this month
Starting on the biggie credit card now~am hoping to paY the loan amount to that as well as min pay but teenagers expensive so might not manage.
Really need to try & get it down before my income reduces further.

after a hectic few days I'm having a night in - bliss. was sooooo tempted to buy a takeaway but settled for a pizza from Mr M's. Still the money side of things is looking particularly tight this month and I'm not too keen on ebaying while the postal strike is still on.... must go reread the up your income stuff and make sure my shopping is by the list and that the list is very, very frugal!

beanielou

Yeah,postal strike is starting to be a real pain now.
ds'S BDAY CARDS WERE DAYS LATE & SOME REROUTED THROUGH hULL.Sorry dont know what happened there.
Meeting Maz n Erin & Luc & N on Sat in Perth so looking fdorward to that.

That's rubbish about DS's birthday cards, sorry to hear that - not the same when they don't get there for the day is it?
Have a great time on Sat, sounds fun.

beanielou

Yes, Sat should be good
Was out for a fab lunch today, belated for a good friends 40th.

"I didn't have to pay" may be my favourite words:D!

Must get back to the healthy eating tomorrow - have eaten way too much junk this week:o. I have been to the gym twice though so not completely hopeless!

beanielou

Me too~on all counts!
Must get out on my trike.

Today I have been mainly sleeping, I think I need to slow down a bit and sleep more so I don't end up feeling so drained. Was trying to remember to accept invites but have just been left feeling blahhh.
In other news I tried on some new clothes today before coming to my senses and not buying anything. Have (when awake) been trying to focus on moving and saving money for that.

Have loads to do this weekend but off out for a bit tonight, shouldn't be too late though then BED!!!!

Well, all is well in spiceland except for the dieting - I am so pants at that I've lost nothing:o. Still going to the gym lots so tons fitter and more toned but I really need to sort out the weight thing...wondering if a fat club is for me (WW, scottish slimmers) but have a problem with paying for someone to tell me to eat less :rolleyes: - tisn't rocket science after all so why do I find it so difficult? Have bought a couple of magazines and will give it a couple more weeks then something must change. Moneywise? some extra would be lovely... DS off school for a week so there will be no more demands for extra cash off them for a while at least:D!
