Phew - my 2 week work event has finished, and was a sucess , so time to get back on track with other stuff

Have had quite a few work dinners so my spending hasn't been too bad but was spendy yesterday - all stuff I needed though. New bras (I was desperste), hair stuff (I had run out), 3 birthday cards and stamps, and my nails (essential for me)! Spent most of the rest of the day sleeping - I really needed it

Not much to report on the money front, got £3.48 from Quidco which went straight to Next, and £30 cashback on my car insurance which reduces the monthly payments by a few pounds

Need to update my budget and spending diary today, not really been keeping track but looking at my balance on internet banking I think I need to keep the rest of the month tight if I want to make any sort of overpayment

Have stayed the same weight this week, which means I have lost the grand total of 1 lb since 1st January Now that work will calm down and my hours go back to normal I really need to focus on this. Think I am going to rejoin the gym - I don't think I can lose serious weight without exercise so I need to force myself and get some into my routine

I need to give my apartment a good clean/tidy today, do a food shop and some washing - domestic stuff has been seriously neglected in the last couple of weeks

Day off today - just watching Jeremy Kyle and catching up

Been an OK week, met up with some old friends on Wednesday which was really good. Nearly didn't go but was glad I did Spent £12.50 on a Chinese and a glass of wine and realised that putting life on hold and paying debts is not always the best thing

Have been trying to diet and have lost 2lbs but really need to take it more seriously! Going to sort out my gym membership later and a friend has asked me to go to spinning next week :eek: Never done it before but hopefully we can motivate each other!

Had all my CC statements in so have updated my signature. Am happy to see a steady decrease This is my aim really, need to have a life too - and a few luxuries

Going out tonight for cocktails and dinner for a friends birthday :j Have resisted the urge to buy a new dress - am wearing something I've already got, want to wait until I have lost some weight before treating myself

Before I get sidetracked into watching This Morning am going to go to the gym

well done with sig, nearly under 24k:j You will be under 20k in no time:j Is that your target for the year?

Totally agree about not buying anything new to wear, I am not going to until I am at my target, have just weighed myself and I appear to have put on 2lbs:mad::mad::mad:

Good luck with spinning:eek: and enjoy the cocktails:D

Have been really naughty this month and gone back to my old magazine buying habit Need to get it back under control, such a waste of money!

I have 3 on subscription, all with Nectar points, and let myself buy one trashy one a week - I do not need any more :mad::mad:

Thanks :A yes, under £20k is my target for the year Don't worry about the weight, you have done really well so far - and I'm sure it will even out again. I have only managed to loe 2lbs so far this year!!!

Going to go and sort my gym membership ready for spinning - and then some pampering before I go out

Hey Shoesy, good to see you back! Your weight loss and money are going in the right direction hon and that's the main thing. Don't know if I should point this out to a magazine addict but there's a deal on Essentials (I posted about it on SAID). I've got 2 subscriptions (gifts) plus this which is brill! X
