Dr was a love and gave me 12 months worth of prescription on one even though she said she knew she shouldn't, so not horrendous. Pharmacist raised her eyebrows a little!
Marathon is 7 weeks on Sunday :eek::eek::eek::eek: Did my very long run and got it out of the way, but am upping my body fat with the assistance of chocolate now
Glad things better today Mrs R - my puppy is a nightmare but he is cute at the same time. He just has food antenna and his nose is permanently sniffing food out. If we don't walk him every day then he is just hyper!
Macgirl & Hypno - your excuses will not work. Enter the races!!! I have entered us as a family to do the sport mile but only because we run through Coronation Street so I think I'll walk that bit :rotfl:

Evening all
Had such a busy few days and overloaded with ebay parcels :mad: although I shouldn't complain!
Have been fairly productive. Did my MS yesterday and got a free lovely lunch out of it :j, finally had my legs and bitswaxed the professional way - so less messy and prettier and I no longer look like a gorilla to OH who may actually fancy me again now instead of rubbing his toes against my bristly legs :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
We have 13p of the food budget left until Friday when it it shopping day again and we have all we need and so we are managing a £70 budget fairly easily now - given that we were spending £100+ before it's amazing.
We still have £6 left of our weekly budget spends left - and out of the money we budgeted I have paid for:- Mother's Day presents x 2, Ballet exams, hairbrushes, ladies thingsand a prescription. Ordinarily most of these would have been cheque/debit card, but this has all been cash from the weekly budget instead. So huge progress has been made. I haven't used a debit/credit card to buy something for nearly two weeks.
Also took £300 in the right denominations (the post office love me) and put them in the right pots!
Loads of things have finished on ebay and have got money going to the joint account - we are now only £5.62 short this month and that is with the car insurance renewal (was £100ish short) and £100 to BUPA - so the month is looking brighter!
AND - for the first time I love Egg! Bit fed up as two CC's have finished 0% deal and as if by magic Egg have offered me a BT deal for 9 months which will cover just about the amount of the other two cards :j:j Not 0% but significantly less than 18.9%. So I can move from the other two cards and they may offer me something in due course too.
Think that is the summary of my news for the last few days - will shut up now1st debt - Next [STRIKE]£583.32[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]£408.71 [/STRIKE] £0 :j
