I had planned to go for a run this evening but DH didn't get home until 7pm and it was too late for me then, I'm defo a morning person. So won't be able to go until Friday morning now.
The sequin leggings IMD, were bought last month for a party I was going to. I sold a carseat and bought them with the proceeds, but they were regretably a one-hit wonder. I'm annoyed at myself for buying them, but am now considering putting them on Ebay. The window for selling such items is short - after Christmas they will look plain silly, so I might try to scrape back a few £'s now...
I transferred £3800 today to Nationwide CC today. I forgot that I paid for the tumble dryer on it :rolleyes: But that will be paid by January from or joint fund, so I'm not adding it to my debt total.
Tonight I have soaked, plucked, waxed, exfoliated and moisturised and feel so relaxed. I don't know why I don't do it more often!
It's our Christmas Party on Friday. I haven't bought anything new, so in order to combat my blue-whiteness I'm having an Umpa-Lumpa spray tan!It's not really me, but I had one before going away in the Summer and was pleasantly surprised.
Right must go to bed, I'm shattered. Will check in tomorrow and let you know how if I've been tangoed!:rotfl:0 -
I remember having a spray tan before my sister's hen do - turned up at the airport with bright orange hands - was too embarrassed tohand my passport over :rotfl:The pictures of me tangoed are repeatedly laughed at - needless to say I never went back to the same place :rolleyes:1st debt - Next [STRIKE]£583.32[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]£408.71 [/STRIKE] £0 :j

At the moment the tan looks healthy, like I've been away for a fortnight - golden!
Though apparantly it will be ready in 6-8 hours :eek:
It is mortifying having it done, standing there starkers with your arms in the air - the things you do :rolleyes: Not very MSE, but I can't stand streaky legs - or lilywhite legs and my dress is that tight - tights won't fit underneath
Not much moneysaving news today, minimum payments to MBNA and Lloyds have gone out, so will update sig later.0 -
I couldn't possibly think about NOT having tights - my legs are most definitely NOT my best feature
I'm going for the Johnson's tinted moisturiser as the cheap option - thankfully it is mainly my arms and my upper bod that will be on show so I couldn't justify the salon version.Successful women can still have their feet on the ground.

Yes, I normally do DIY. Johnson's is a good one though, so you should nice and healthy by then. It does make me feel slimmer and more toned, it's amazing what a bit of colour does!
I've just made a camomile tea and had my sugar fix in the form of liquorice, so think I'm going to watch TV in bed. I'm shattered this week, too many early starts and late nights :rolleyes:
Must remember to get a mortgage balance this week ready for the MFiT challenge.
Night all x0 -

Woke with a groan that I had to go running :rolleyes: Only had time to do 3 miles, so tried to go a bit faster! There won't be any running in the morning, so will try and keep to my promise for Sunday 6.
Handily, the paperwork for our new mortgage deal has arrived, detailing our exact balance, so will upload that to the MFiT chalenge. We'll be overpaying and extra £200 in the first year - or until this debt has gone, then I'll try and increase it after that.
Just off to post and Ebay parcel and get a quote of posting for another - 5 watchers on my 3rd item - so that bodes well!
Little DD is very hard work at the moment so I really need this night out - did I mention I'm staying over?! Yippeee!! :j
Right must dash, washing to do, ironing to do, parcel to post, house to clean (well - tidy) and stew to make for DD's dinner, so must nip to the butchers and order the cooked meat for Mum's party while I'm there....
How will I fit that in plus beautifying myself, hair make-up, nails and pack a bag before 4.30pm? :eek:
Right I'm off, have a good evening if you're lurkingxxx
