Paid £50 off tesco today.

Also have another £60 extra to pay off mbna ready, but am going to keep this in my savings as I might need it for car MOT. The emergency fund is building up, but sill not a lot in it.

Had to get a birthday present today, but it was in the sale for £3.

Won 60p on Scatch cards

Just had a roast chicken dinner, followed by HM rice pudding;):D It was lovely!!!

I am following slimming world, so it was mainly free food, just a few sins for the gravy and I am all full now:D

Also made some oat cookie things, as running low on pack up stuff for tomorrow.

Another £135 has gone towards a CC today. So getting there slowly.

Hi Chops, sounds like you're doing well making payments and good that you're building an emergency fund too. That's on my very long "To Do" list too....

As for slimming - it's becoming the bane of my life! We are all obsessed at work with Nutracheck and I'm doing a 5 days free trial. We're forever saying things like "How many grams do y'reckon is in a clove of garlic?" etc....Needs must.

I have 73 calories left today - just off to check what sugary morsel that will buy me

chops22

Ohh I am off to google Nutracheck...good luck in the sugar search!!

I am trying really hard to pretend that I don't really want cheese and crackers!!

i SPENT £15 TODAY..on stuff for me and lunch. It comes out of my money...and I still have enough for the month, but I am regretting it now:mad:

On a positive I have almost paid £2k off...so if I can sell the runner and a spare bed I should clear the 2k this month.

The freezer and cupboards are full still and arrived home from work to dinner all cooked by gorgeous mr chops! :j:j

Yay for the weekend!!:beer:

macgirl

Whoooo! £2k - that's great :T Don't beat yourself up over the money spent today, sometimes it can't be avoided.

Did you find that website? It's here https://www.nutracheck.co.uk I'm addicted - I've still got 203 calories left for today :j

chops22

Ha yes...it is a fab site..had a quiet afternoon at work so had a quick look. Its interesting to see how many calories you actually need a day. Just been on your diary...well done on your run!!

I had a lovely day today, so supose the money was worth it, I know I wont be going out or spending for the rest of the month so not too bad.

chops22

Well its been a bit of a high spend week really. However OH is back at work on monday, so for the next few weeks I can't see anything much going on.

* I am officially off the alcohol now till the end of Feb, and I am
going to loose a stone by March. (I know I keep setting these goals!)

* I am going to cook one different meal each week (can you tell I have
been watching come dine with me!!)

* I am going to look that good for my holidays in August!!:j:j (I want
to be tonned and slim!!!) ...need a sucking cheeks in smiley here!!

chops22

Happy Monday morning!!

I feel shocking, I can never seem to sleep on a sunday night...so it will be an early night for me!!

Today I need to have a quick tidy, hoover and dust and then mop the floors.

Drop DS2 of at school. and then nip to the shop, collect Hubbys birhday present and get some fruit and veg.

Dinner tonight is Jacket pots, with cheese and beans. So going to get them washed and ready in a minute.

Aim this week is to do 30 mins on either the bike, runner or wii at least 4 times.

Well done on the overpayments. Its all good!

I am going on the healthy eating route rather than diet as I don't needto diet but I do need to increase my fruit and veg intake as at the mo, my fruit intake consists of Fruit and Nut bars!!
