But a high spend day all the same

Spent all morning in bed, reading my book Surely that's what weekends/bank holidays are for?
Need to get organised now, have family coming over at 4.00 and I have to drop Easter eggs off first.
Not worrying about dieting today either - really feel like chilling out and enjoying my days off
Happy Easter everybody :icotbaskeSometimes it's hard to walk in a single woman's shoes - that's why we need really special ones!Total debt @ Oct 2008: £29,226.42 Credit Card- £[STRIKE]7493.56[/STRIKE] - £7243.56Weightloss : 0/34lbs0 -
Just updated my signature - my Next balance is creeping up again But just put all the orange stuff I bought yesterday in my bathroom - and it looks lovely so I don't feel too bad about the spending
And the difference is, from 12 months ago, I actually feel in control of my spending and spend consciously rather than in the random 'need to spend/have' way I used to
Am feeling quite upbeat at the moment. I am starting to finally lose weight, my apartment is starting to look lovely, my finances are under control and and I have few a things to look forward to over the next couple of months - including my hols
I don't want to tempt fate :eek: but I think I am finally cracking the 'baby steps' philosophy and starting to see results - which then motivates me to keep going

A nice comfortable home is important Shoe Gal, so good for you
Glad to hear things are coming together...I think the lighter mornings/evenings and slightly warmer weather help aswell. I just want to hibernate and stuff myself full of stodgy food over winter

:easter_baHappy Easter!
Hope you are having a great day. The bathroom sounds great. I might try having some bright towels and things in my bathroom, it might give a much needed boost to get up and go on those work mornings.
Well done on the weight loss and finances too.
I must have gained 50 million llbs today already, but the chocolate eating has been sooooooo good.
