*sending some motivation to Shoe Gal*

Left work today feeling a bit grotty, sister, niece and nephew all had S & D recently but by the time I got to the gym felt better and glad I went now as had totally lost my mojo but seems it is back. Haven't booked in for Thursday but will try my best to go, my motivation for going seems to be cos I know I'm paying for it so really want to get my money's worth.

Anyway spent all night watching tv as my V+ box is down to 16 hours, which means 64 hours of progs to watch, never going to catch up. Has anyone watched True Blood? Taped the first series but haven't watched it yet, is it worth watching or should I just delete all the episodes to clear some space?!

Off to bed, hoping for my fourth night of non-itchy sleep, been bliss getting a good night sleep recently. Night all x

Morning all, I. Am. Desperate. For. A. Coffee!

Must not have one as trying to have a NSD today after trying for one yesterday then having to buy some food for dinner tonight. I am also starving, have cereal at work but left my milk container in work yesterday, so no milk (and don't want to buy any), I'm being really cheap aren't I?! Hardly anyone in the office today so I'm either going to go all out and get loads done, or do absolutely SFA!

Suppose better get on....

I. Had. A. Coffee!

But, it was free as one of the guys bought me a latte along with a roll on links with onions. I know tis very bad but I was in need of something nice. I will bring my milk in tomorrow and Friday and have my cereal like a good girl.

Quite excited after reading Flying Fresian's diary, she is saving up to pay off her loan, as I am, and has her loan balance minus her savings which brings her debt total down to a nice amount.

If I did this it means technically my debt is only £5,599! :j:j

The savings are locked away til September so they can't be touched (hoping to pay loan off in December), this is great as although my debt is currently £6,999, £5,599 looks so much better, ah bliss!

ETA: I will bear in mind that my debt still needs addressing i.e. I won't start spending

Been going through my spreadsheet yet again, you can tell the bosses are out!

In January, I was £60.48 over my budget (budget being £255 per month for all non-essentials outwith bills and petrol), in February I was a whopping £205.88 over budget, goodness knows what I spent it on cos didn't think I spent all that.

This month so far I have spent £35.99 (that's from 25/2/10) so have £219.01 left of my budget, not too bad until you take into account that after deducting bills and essentials, I have a total of £266.73 between my bank account and purse and still have £78.62 to come off (for gym and phone bill) leaving me with £188.11 exactly.

Considering this is £30.90 short on my budget and scraping the bottom of the barrell (I like to leave some money in bank so I don't hit the OD), I will need to majorly cut back this month. Next month's wages will include expenses to should get back on track then.

Have dinner and lunches sorted for the rest of the week, was going to get a Chinese on Saturday as we are going out but thinking will raid the freezer instead. OH will cook on Sunday when I take him home, so won't need to visit the supermarket til at least Monday. I think I could lose weight this month, I wish!

Woohoo been asked to do some overtime on Saturday, thought this was doomed after being told the 37 hours I was promised was going to 2 guys from another department (has yet to happen), only problem is will have to give up the gym, unless I can come in later. Probably best to come in early and get away at a decent time. Roll on March wage!

Gosh I'm so bored today, hardly anyone was in this morning when I came in and I'm now sitting here with one other person who is way across the office. Nearly finishing time luckily, do you ever find you don't get much done when there is no-one around, I end up messing around with spreadsheets and looking on the internet.

Chicken curry for dinner tonight after I do a quick tidy up. OH should be down around 6.30pm so gives me plenty of time to do a tidy, put lamps on so the place looks better, actually I might need to turn the lights out altogether, ha!

Might sneak on later but if not, have a nice night everyone x

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: can tell you've been bored at work today - loads of posts!

Afternoon all,

Well a second day of hardly anyone being in but instead of being on here all day, I have actually done some work for once. Mostly filing and stuff but no distractions to get it done.

Supposed to be gyming it tonight but think have pulled a muscle in my chest, keep getting strange twinges, feels a bit like pins and needles, weird. So if I don't go tonight it will be straight home, make dinner then start on the livingroom.

OH was down last night so the bedroom and bathroom were tidied (weren't too bad to start with) so at least it looked like I had done something. Downstairs is a riot though. Roll on 4.30pm!

Ouch - chest muscles can be very sore when aggravated! Try and rest up a bit and make sure you do your stretches before and after gym-ing
