Skint Spice's journey to being less skinty and more spicy

skint_spice

you never know Lou, he might be one of the big winners GLGLGL.... I've only a couple of days to go but although I've made a fair bit there weren't that many of £20 or above...
I think I need to do more exercise - feeling too tired to gym but I think unless I do I won't get better...hope that makes sense to someone other than me:o!

It makes sence to me.
Im always so tired & dont do enough excercise.

It does Skinty, I feel really lethargic at the moment as I havent been joining OH on walks, I could just curl up on the sofa at every chance I get, I am also slipping with the meals and giving in to the convenience of the takeaway far too often.:o

I think this time of year its difficult to stay motivated and energised.

Shall we make an effort to try harder for December Lou? then maybe Christmas will be fun rather than exhausting! I need to eat more fruit too and I've started eating choccy again which is mad - nearly had a meltdown cos there was none in the house...then I remembered DS's halloween stash and found a mini curlywurly and felt much better:o...

:rotfl::rotfl:Oh dear, I think we both need to get our bums back in gear dont we.

I am going to try to meal plan properly this weekend and batch cook, also get back out for at least 1 decent walk.........I have loads of exam preperation to do though:rolleyes:

Right have had rethink (yes, again) on savings v repayments and have moved them about again so have less savings now but will be in the 55Ks for the mortgage next month:j:j. Any extra from quidco etc will go to the savings.

Also have decided not to drink after tonight until christmas eve...mmm...we'll see how that one goes:D! Will have to get more herbal tea for home though as I think my feeling awful yesterday was partly due to the large amounts of builders tea I drank:o.

Today's plan is to have a bit of lunch, do some more comps then gym before going to friend's this evening - oh will need to buy some wine to take so supermarket too.

No drinking until Christmas Eve.................good luck with that one:eek::p

I shall be hiding all takeaway menus until the new year and making the effort every day to take a packed lunch to work (I have slipped alot these last few weeks:o)

Lets make a pact to keep an eye on each other:A

I only really have takeaways occasionally these days when my friends come over - shows how times have changed:D!

Shall be keeping an eye on you, might buy a wee bottle of wine and freeze it in a ice cube tray cos quite often my justification is "well I needed a dash for the sauce:o..."

Goodness how posh are you making food that includes a glug of wine......

I am sure you will manage the no alcohol rule now you have decided to do it.........does it count if its free from someone else though:D

I need more than an eye keeping on me Skinty............I need a minder:o

We can do it! think how much money we'll have saved by the end of December:D! You of course will have OH and sons to contend with but at this time of year you can always use the "if you want pressies" excuse:D...
