2010: New Year, New Flat, New Plan.........

Morning

Just updating again before work. Feeling a bit rough today, hoping it's to do with women's problems and not a cold or something.

Yesterday I spent £3.90 on some food shopping. I am going to hold off getting the table and chairs for a bit, just until I can make sure all my bills and stuff have been paid. Got a massive phone bill to pay thanks to getting the line fitted so after working things out, I only have around £90 left after paying everything anyway so it will have to wait until later in the month (get my DLA every Weds so not £90 for the entire month).

Trying to get a set of tennis in before I leave for work. Wish I could stay here and watch it all . It is my little Joshua's birthday tomorrow, he would have been 4 years old. I'm leaving work early so that we can all go to the cemetery with some flowers and balloons (our yearly ritual).

Anyway, back to the tennis and getting ready in between games!!

Hi everyone

Thought I had better update my diary again. Watching the tennis at the moment. Murray started well but has dipped now . I really hope he can come back to win as Federer is such an arrogant little ****! He definately needs to be taken down a peg or two.

Anyway, haven't spent much this weekend which is good. Put £20 of petrol into my car and topped my phone up with £10 which will last me all month.

My OH bought me my table and chairs yesterday as a house warming gift. I think he was fed up with eating his meals off his lap!! He also got me a vase and a bunch of pink flowers to put on my new table. Only problem is that I now need to clear the boxes that have been accumulating in the dining area part!

I ordered the side table and TV unit from my mum's catalogue (can't remember if I said I did or not). The side table came ages ago and looks great. I am using the little drawer as a 'to do' drawer, ie putting bills that need paying, forms that need filling out etc in there. The TV stand is coming on Tuesday so after that, I will be all set in my little flat. I don't need any other furniture. Once the TV stand is up and I have cleared all of the boxes, I will take pictures and post them on here .

Back to the tennis - COME ON MURRAY!!!!!

Grreat news on table

As it's the end of the month, I have been looking at my targets for my Christmas savings. They currently stand at:

Boots - 778 (target 10,000)
Nectar - 2,017 (target 10,000)
Tesco - 1,357 (target 10,000)
Amazon (Dooyoo Miles) - 15,995 (target 100,000)

Not bad for the first month. I need an eye test and had a voucher for a free test and 500 Nectar points. However, there was a voucher in my mum's magazine for 1,000 Advantage points with a £20 eye test at Boots. I can claim back the cost of this through work so will go for that one instead.

Going to tackle the boxes tonight whilst watching Dancing on Ice.

I've got the hospital tomorrow. Just weighed myself on my mum's scales and I was 7st 13lbs . I'm seeing my doctor on 22nd February but my nurse wants to see me tomorrow. I think that is for my annual 'MOT'. Tomorrow will be blood tests and chest x-ray. I think February will be filled with all my other tests too - the ones that need seperate appointments . Always costs me a fortune in parking!

Hi everyone

Just got back from the hospital. Feel knackered and a bit like a guinea pig!! They have got this horrible new breathing test machine that is like a glass booth and you have to be shut in it with a rubber mouth piece stuck in your mouth and a nose peg on. It was awful. I was in there for about an hour doing tests and all they kept telling me was to relax. I would like to see them do that with all of that happening and rubbish lungs like mine!! Doctors .

One good thing was that last time I went, I weighed 46.8 kilos and I now weigh........................50.2 kilos!!!! I am so pleased with that :j. It is the most I have weighed for a long time . My target is now 53 kilos for when I go back on 22nd February (a kilo a week).

The only money I have spent today is £2.80 on the car park at the hospital :mad:. I have to go back twice next week too for further tests .

Off to have my dinner now and then going home to make a start on my questions for the month. Aiming for £600 and have go to do £21 worth tonight.
