    Better day today, my first ever won of £5 on scratchie. I withdrew £11.30, already updated my signature.
    Things to do:
    ~[STRIKE]post phone[/STRIKE]
    ~[STRIKE]post Lovefilm dvd[/STRIKE]
    ~[STRIKE]sign up OH and LB for daily scratchie[/STRIKE]
    ~[STRIKE]study[/STRIKE]
    ~[STRIKE]body pump class[/STRIKE]


    Not long, I guess I'm catching up with myself. Upgraded my contract last night, got a deal for £15 per month with the newest Nokia phone, enough minutes and plenty of text messages. Still thinking about selling the phone on Ebay-it would give me an extra £100 but OH pointed out that my phone is well over 4 years old,battery doesn't even last me a day,it's time to recycle it. I checked Martin's new tool, I can get £20 cash for it, also has an other old phone which worth £10.5. I might send them off-I will earn extra money on quidco as well.

    Looking forward to payday so I can track my savings and spendings-mid month is always depressing.

    Hi Keza,
    It's a bit slow today, I just can't seem to motivate myself. Need to pay CTax and Water bill online, but rather just browse ;). I'm off to the library in the afternoon, need to take a book out for my next assingment (due in hmm about 4 days?).

    No money making today, only won 20p on scratchcard. My phone hasn't arrived as OH forgot to tell receptionist at his workplace so he refused to take it-will need to wait till Monday.

    Anyone as tired as I am?

    Morning Diary,

    Aerobics class done, invented a new step step, instructor was well pleased :j.

    OH is at work, I've done a bit of shopping and now need to tackle the cooking bit. Money wise nothing to update,I think it will stay like that till the end of this month. Really hope my salary will come before the 30th.

    Need to take some pictures of ebay items for tomorrow, plus need to call tesco's about joining OH's and my account together for the airmiles-we have enough now to go for my brother's wedding,that's a total saving of £180 on plane tickets :T.

    Hey Kavics, I'm sorry you were feeling down, but you seem to have picked yourself up.

    Mid january is always rubbish, everyone is waiting to get paid, and its dark and cold still. its blue monday apparantly according to the radio, the most miserable day of the year!! Not good, I think chocolate is the only thing to get me through, but I've banned myself from having any! Rubbish

    Anyway my lovely, keep up the good work.

    Hi Missy,

    I banned chocolat as well. This morning. Stood on the scales and I'm 9lbs more than I want to be! So salad with boiled eggs for lunch, prunes for snacking and no more juice! I'm so upset with myself! I need to lose weight by Easter!

    well I've got until March 16th, but preferably sooner due to my dress fitting on the 06 Feb!!!

    It's winter I swear it is, it just makes you want to eat things that aren't good for you!

    Ok, I bought a body analyzer scale yesterday and I did not like what I read on it. Although everything is in the normal scale, I really need to tackle my weight seriously, I have weddings to go for this year!

    Off for spinning tonight, already booked it.
    Have lots of things to do, finish assignment, print it out and send it off tmrw morning, need to move money on bank account, etc. I have two babysittings booked this month, that will go towards my £10 a day challenge.

    Right, off to work...
