Mrs A's Debt Diary

Mrs_A.

hiya peeps,
another sunny sunday here,
today i made a huge hm pizza with home grown onions and sage for the broods lunch (went down a treat) also made 4 dozen fairy cakes for packed lunches, some of the older ds are threatening to visit later today so didnt put all the cakes into the freezer so they can eat them if they arrive.
done all the washing and ironing, i feel really rich when i have done the mountain of ironing. sent hubby and one son to the fruit farm this morning and they came home with 2 huge punnets of strawberries for only £4.20 would have been at least twice as much at tesco.
having real problems with my body just now i am sure that my clothes ate shrinking in the wardrobe as everything seems to be getting tighter and my bra's are positively uncomfortable and as i cant afford to buy bigger sizes i will just have to from tomorrow go on the dreaded weight loss again. why is it everytime i join weight watchers they sing me many happy returns and its never my birthday.
so will weigh myself tomorrow and publically post it and hopefully that will shame me into sticking to diet and doing some exercise.
i counted up my change jar last night and i have £51 ready and bagged up to go to the bank this week will stick it in the saving to pay off something account. i have been putting off doing this months budget all weekend so i am going to do that with the rest of my day.
have a good one everyone

Hey Mrs A, well done on the mega cook and the savings. Thats brilliant!

As for the weightloss, I can agree there - I'm back on the South Beach from tomorrow, as my size 14's Thin Pants are feeling a touch tight. PLus LB mentioned te dress I was going to wear for my divorce party shows of my 'I've had a baby' pouch.

Oberon - I think you need to rename him 'Mean Comment Boyfriend' - you didn't let him get away with that did you?

well folks the family arrived and ate all my cakes glad i stuck some in the freezer bunch of gannets that they are and ate some of my strawberries so i managed to persuade them to nip along to the fruit farm and pick their own my daughter in law asked me how to make jam so i explained to her and then she asked me if i had any jars!!!!! nope dear mine are full of home made jam you have to save them up!!!!!!!!!!!!
gonna bite the bullet and get in the scales cos i forgot im doing overtime tomorrow morning and my normal shift in the afternoon/evening so wont have time and by the time i get home i will be fit for nothing except shower and bed. so here goes 12 stones 13 lbs bloody hell although not so bad as i was expecting to be honest. not another morsel of delicious unhealthy food will pass my lips again (at least until i get a chocolate/biscuit/crisp/cake/chips craving) wish me luck im gonna need it.
Scottish i would rather be invited by fishface as its her diary after all before i join you, but if an invite comes my way i will definately go for it.
just going out to garden now for some home grown spring cabbage and carrots to have with my chicken for tea tonight.

well peeps,
have done the overtime yesterday what a long day but not only good in terms of dfw by doing the overtime i also managed a no spender goodness me i love having no spend days its even better than all the binge buying i used to do.
forgot to mention that i got a tenner back from one of my sons that he owes me so thats ready to go to the bank along with the bagged up money from my change jar.
not done much else thats money saving still not been paid this month i was joking to work colleague that this is the longest my wages have lasted considering that pay day was last thursday, only drawback is i dont have a single penny in any of my other accounts now as i had to move it all last night as i have all of my dd's etc comming out of bank today.
ah well onwards and upwards
yeah and on the dieting front i didnt even last a single day i managed to munch my way through a pile of rubbish yesterday at work and its been the same today. i think i will definately have to rejoin weight watchers as i need the discipline of attending the class and the ritual humiliation of a weekly weigh in...
tomorrow is another day............
take care

morning all
beware i am feeling very depressed today dont know why just am and i have taken my anti depressants as well for the day dont think that the things work!!!!!!!!
not much to report on the debt free quest today must update my budget spreadsheet but im far to depressed to even look at it if im honest. got the late shift today thank goodness as im so tired i dont think i could have gotten up for the early shift this morning and i had a couple of hours sleep on the couch last evening too.
just gonna go and do some tidying up my house is in a constant mess, maybe put the breadmaker on as i dont think any of the little darlings will do it when im at work, then go for a soak in the bath.
sorry to be such a moan but i just got up more depressed than normal
hope everyone has a better day than me
regards

Hope you are feeling a bit better now Mrs A.

How are things with the Messrs A? are they all on the DFW wagon with you now?

Mrs_A.

hiya Floss im still feeling heartily depressed but im on my 2 days off tomorrow and saturday so im hoping to feel less depressed by then, considering going to the gp tomorrow cos im so low just now. No the male a's are not on the dfw wagon yet i dunno how else to try and encourage them it makes it a heavy weight on my shoulders but i know i will get through it in the end.
not done much on the dfw quest yet this week if i have been honest just a bit of overtime on monday and i still havent got last months pay yet. the secretary at work is doing her best for me but its going to be next week at the earliest. The lovely bank has yet to refund my charges like they promised to do my im really suffering just now thats probably got a lot to do with my low mood any folks im off just now to revisit my goals for the week and think about updating my budget
regards
mrs a
