Lost in the middle - getting organised and debt free

Marru

Thank you Guys!!! Have had problems today with network connection and then laptop and when finally got here had a nice giggle.

Jo - you are welcome to have all the the chocolate, I need to lose 13 kg
HB - I am afraid at the moment I do have a cleaner I know considering my financial situation I shouldn't be able to afford this but I needed some help when I was really ill and still don't think I have recovered enough (considering how much else I have on the plate at the moment) to start doing it myself. That will be one of the tasks in the future thou so I will keep your offer in mind.

SM - As I have said before I do love you!!! I hope all is well with you and your loved ones.

Mini tasks for today:
- Bake my very first blackberry crumble (berries picked this morning with DD)
- Clean piggies
- Tidy washing away
- Do some more HC
- Carry on spreadsheet busting
- Go to AF thread to announce fourth AFD in this month

I think the last one might be the toughest :rolleyes:

Glad we cheered you up Marru

Stay positive and don't forget you can't do everything at once, babysteps is the way to go
We are okay here, not quite as sparkly as usual but working on it every day:D thanks xxx

Not a bad day, got four things done plus two from my master list.

I have decided to use all the leaflet dropping and house sitting money to build up a float for matched betting. I did it for few months year ago very successfully and want to start again but need a float. All my dog walking money and money from selling posessions will go towards courses I need to take to become an accredited dog trainer and behaviourist.

I think I can be very organised in theory. What I lack is the implementation so here hopes .

Thanks Jo, you did really well as well. Just go and scrub that sink and don't think about it.

I will indeed catch up later as off now to do some dog walking.

So far achieved today:
- Porridge for breakfast - with tummy full no probs of missing muffin or chocolate to go with my first coffee at work
- Drank over 1 l of water and will try some more by the end of the day - plus herbal tea on the go while typing this
- Only had one cup of coffee and one cup of normal tea
- Done little bit of yoga (will try to increase this gradually)

CHUFFED!

Hi Marru

Sounds like it's been a rocky ride with ups and downs. Just wanted to say that you're doing the right thing. Good luck with your debt-busting and everything else!

I'm interested to hear about your dog training course... is it expensive? My pooch goes to a doggy daycare place that's run by a trained behaviourist.

Oh, I LOVE your sig BTW!

Hi Marru,

Just found your diary and wanted to say good luck. Sounds like you are doing really well so far, you certainly seem organised!

Definitely go with the porridge for breakfast thing - I am a long-time dieter and that is one of the big secrets! Try mixing it up with grated apple, strawberries, nuts, raisins, honey etc. if you get bored.

Will be reading with interest xx
