    morning all! today i hope to have another NSD.

    I put £1.20 into the wedding fund sealed pot today. got some mash out the freezer to have soup and potatoes tonite for dins.

    Was tempted to go into tescos on my way home last nite to look thru the whoopsies but resisted temptation as my freezer is full of food at the mo. going to get by for the rest of the month on just essentials.

    Tonight when i get home im going to do my usual physio exercises and pilates, then have some dinner, then i will do my surveys, scratchies and list some bits on ebay! xx

    havent been on here in a week or so. been a bit hectic!

    I go to rome on saturday (last holiday until honeymoon next year!) it was already paid for so didnt need to worry bout finding money for it and i can plod along still as i am.

    I got a letter from barclaycard and empire saying they were investigating my charges complaints and will get back to me soon. fingers crossed on them!

    Im on a little diet as have put on 9lbs in the last year! so soup for lunches for me for the time being. sick of it already and its only the 2nd day!

    I have set my targets for the coming year. hopefully will hit each one. I dont think they are unrealistic but i dont think they are easy too. nice happy medium so i need to push myself but not for the impossible!

    I will post my targets on the next post! :j

    I simply love a day when you feel like your getting somewhere!

    I made £91 at a body shop party last night, got a cheque refund of £54 from the summer train strikes and a few mystery shopping jobs and im £96 in credit with 2 weeks to go until payday and nothing left to spend on!

    Im out of my overdraft and feel like its coming together at last. i will continue to PAD. todays pad was £48.74 transfer from barclaycard (in credit) to Aqua.

    Didnt do my scratchies last nite as was at body shop party but will do them tonite.

    also sold a few bits on ebay - totla made is £7.50 but thats £7.50 more than i had! another bit off Virgin! xxx
