Squirrel's Smiley, Smart and Solvent Diary

Certainly is Squizz, that sounds like a good contract. Still jealous of the walking..

You still thinking about a long distance walk sometime Bob?

Good morning all, I am back - had a great time, just wish I had another day to recover! Brilliant catching up with friends I don't see very often and OH got on well with them as well which was really nice. Spent £90 most of which went on food and transport, the only really unecessary bits and pieces which came to about a fiver were some nail varnish and a souvenir toy penguin from the zoo :rotfl:

All my direct debits have come out of the bank and I've got about £100 left and 11 days till payday.

Not done any running or gym things but I have walked miles... and miles...

That sounds a lovely weekend - and we have to have souvenir cuddly toys occasionally :rotfl:

Brr it's cold! Can feel myself starting with wintery lethargic sort of can't be bothered feelings this week - it's dark(ish) when I wake up and it's cold and I feel like curling up and not doing very much. Was determined not to be a miserable git about winter this year but that resolve seems to be slipping already, it's daft as I have lots of things to look forward to but .. maybe I need to sit under a big lightbulb...

Karmacat

Can I shuffle in and share the lightbulb? That is *exactly* how I've felt the last two days....

redsquirrel80

Of course Karma.. gather round...

Karmacat

Oooh, lovely! Thank you!

**basks happily**

Well in the absence of a giant lightbulb I have been trying to get outside as much as possible, eat well and get some exercise - ran yesterday morning as the sun was coming up which was quite nice. OH suffers with the Winter thing too so hopefully we will cheer each other up, we've been ridiculously cuddly and giggly the last few days which definitely helps!

In other news I have a week till payday and about £100 left in the bank. Keep thinking of things I want to buy but going to try not to until I get paid - except for bargainous Aldi running gear which is on offer from today, a lovely bright yellow jacket and a headband thingy should come to about £20.

There's £85 left on that annoying little debt so I might try to zap that next week!
