Thanks Souk, will take a while before I feel anything like glamourous, at the moment I just feel fat and frunpy, but hey, small steps and all that

Absolutely! It's all about making habits stick and making them good instead of carp ones ... she says as she goes off to finish off the Lindors but you know what I mean!

A whopping £1.54 from quidco today Another normal day at work today, ds is at after school club tonight so will be off to collect him in about 10 minutes. Nothing much planned for tonight, may dig out a fitness dvd and also have a nice bath. Might also try again to get that early night in that I keep dreaming of ...

You have to pay £1000 into it each month WS, I transfer it in and then transfer it back out again the next day. You don't need to keep it in there and you don't need your direct debits transferred or salary paid in to it etc. As long as you put in £1k a month you get a £5 bonus payment A very easy £60 over the year

Thanks for that BB and good luck with your body month.

Hmm, I'm umming and aahing over whether to treat myself to 'Walk WIth Me' for the ds ... I have been meaning to buy a decent pedometer for ages as mine is rubbish and just makes up a figure as it feels like it , well this is a very expensive pedometer but it shows you your walking patterns etc and may be more motivating for me than a bog standard one, hmm decisions decisions ...

Been and bought the Walk with me It was £40 in whsmiths but I had £15 of vouchers that I haven't used, so in effect £25

Another ebay item has sold today, so another £6 into the pot and another trip to the post office for me. 60p on a cake today too (I know, I know ), I also need to go and get some milk in a bit too.

10p on the scratch's this morning, nothing much else to add at the moment.

Right, the walking thing is all set up and ready to go, luckily you get two of the little devices to carry round as ds has decided he wants one too. I do quite a bit of walking around school, today I counted from one hut to another ( a trip I make quite a few times a day) and it was 700 steps there and back, so a few of those trips will get my total up quite nicely The measurey thing sets your first target at 3000 steps but I've upped it to 5,000. Its still only half of the daily target you should be aiming for so hopefully I'll manage to do it!

Happy Walking!!

Well I managed just over 5000 steps at work today which isn't bad as I didn't do as much general walking about as normal Ds has a school disco tonight so we are going to walk there and back instead of going in the car, hopefully that way I'll reach my 10,000 today

Postie brought me my £10 voucher from the survey site today, which will go back into my voucher pot and be used for a present or spent on something and the same money moved across to the mortgage pot.
