Penguins 24 month countdown!

penguin83

Evening all, firstly a big thank you to everyone who has posted.

Been working today and OH is working at the min, so have a quiet few hours now that the kids are in bed. Made the biscuits yesterday and didnt taste one of them - the smell was torture and to make it worse I have just weighed myself (lethal, I shouldnt do it should just wait until class and it says I have gained 2lbs :eek: Have until Weds morning to fix that!

Going to do a bit of Flylady and then 1hours studying as I am a little bit behind and have an assignment due in in just over 2 weeks and dont want another last minute panic.

Work again tomorrow but then I have all of Weds off :j

Luc - ran up the stairs at work this morning and for the first time noticed that I wasn't as out of breath as normal! Horse is doing really well, because of the weather she is staying in at night and has been in during the heavy rain, don't think she realises she is a horse and she much prefers to be inside!

Hayles, hope your tooth/face is clearing up, it is horrible pain - I have a lot of fillings (thanks to my very sweet tooth) and have had some horrible abcesses in the past.

Kissjen, I am hoping (fingers crossed) to complete it in 2011 but it all depends on what sort of intensity I can manage to study at, need a few more hours in the day at the minute!

Skint - you would get on very well with DS, he has his dinosaurs lined up in size order and in breed, his cars in colour order (he wasnt impressed that I put a gold one in with the yellows - It looked yellow to me :rotfl:and we have to have all doors shut and lights off - very neat and tidy!

Hi to Mum (hope you had a nice time with Taxi will catch up in a min), KP and postive and focused - great user name by the way.

Ooh should really mention something money related nearly 1k left my account this morning and not one payment to a debt - all boring things like mortgage, council tax, water etc - I only like paying things when I can update my snowball!

Total left to pay this month = 956.10

Phew that was epic x x x x

Ooh me bad - havent updated here for 10 whole days :eek: naughty me!

Have had 3 nice days off work which I have really enjoyed and I needed the break. Back to it on Monday though.

Debt wise I have paid a few more pennies off various debts but I know I will fall short this month with DD being off school and needing to fund holiday club but I am hoping to get as close to the target as I can.

I have attempted to start decluttering the house and the amount of pots of change I have come across is shocking, I will try and count it all up over the next few days with the kids.

Need to have a catch up with everyone as I have been neglecting MSE while I am on my decluttering mission so will do that tonight and tomorrow.

Wol - I cant wait for my firework display I am aiming to be debt free around July 2011 :j and as for the secret of my weightloss - put on so much weight in the first place that losing it becomes relatively easy to begin with :rotfl:its going to get a lot harder now that I am nearly half way there!

Hope everyone is well x x x

Good luck and how nice to find loads of pots of money...good luck with decluttering as well.

Thank you - unfortunately all the little tubs of money are mainly 1p's and 2p's but hey it all helps, going to have a nice add up of it when it is all together (OH has a habit of emptying his change at random points around the house) - wonder if I can get it to add up to 28K? :rotfl:

Anyways, news this week

I lost 1lb at slimming yesterday so I finally got my 3 1/2 stone award :j:j was really pleased and then went off to give blood for the first time which is number 101 on my list and I didnt even faint :T

So all in all not too bad a week so far! Off to work out where I am up to this month x x

Well done on the 3 and a half stone but I've just noticed that you are at 49/100 so looking forward to you losing two more so you can say you're more than halfway there! can't be long now...
Seriously though that is fab especially considering you've given up smoking too:j:j:j.
