    Oh dear a bit of realisation settling in now :( Was just posting on AuntyEm's diary and suddenly realised how slack I am actually being with this whole MSE thing. I started off really well and slowly got into the mystery shopping, and now rather than doing something useful and paying off extra on the debts, I have been squandering the extra dosh and having a bit too much of a social life!

    Have got my hol in 3 1/2 weeks too so I need cash for that, plus the mystery shopping was extremely thin on the ground last month so i haven't got any extra money waiting to come to me now :(

    Have also had a text from my flatmate saying our latest bills have come in and I need to dig up £125 from somewhere :eek:





    Bug*ger

    And just to put myself on even more of a downer, I've added that new Natwest debt into my sig. :( Not had the courage to add it into my snowball yet though!

    Morning all and happy Friday! :j Trying to forget about the cr*p and find a way to dig me out of the grump today.

    So plans for the weekend:

    Friday night - food shopping....exciting! Lol! At least I can get some healthy stuff in and hopefully make a proper dent in the weight loss - only 3 weeks til hol! :D

    Saturday:

    2 x Mystery shops - hopefully will find some more today or tonight to add to the list. Seems like I haven't done any for a loonnnngg time!

    Dig out stuff to put on Ebay - free listing weekend this weekend!

    Sunday:

    Gym or swimming - or if i'm feeling energetic, both!!

    Start having a look through clothes to take on hol and see if anything fits yet!! :rotfl:

    So a few things for me to be getting on with, if I don't decide to just sit on my backside all weekend!

    Sunday:

    Gym or swimming - or if i'm feeling energetic, both!! - Gym, sauna and steam room! Not quite swimming but close enough :P

    Start having a look through clothes to take on hol and see if anything fits yet!! :rotfl:I am def getting there! Still got a bit too much of a belly for some things but I'm going to do sit ups every day for the next 3 weeks so hopefully it'l make some kind of difference!

    So a few things for me to be getting on with, if I don't decide to just sit on my backside all weekend!

    Also got an email on Saturday saying my Tesco's order had been despatched so hopefully not long to wait before they arrive! :j

    Chin up Kayleigh.....you are doing just fine....i hope you don't start to feel too deflated. It's hard to get through the bad days isn't it.

    Good luck x

    Aw KP, don't let the cr*p get you down! Hopefully your T*sco stuff will have arrived to cheer you up!

    I am the same as you with ebay stuff - piles all over the place... one thing on turbo-lister but not online! But as you'll know from my diary I was far too bust gallavanting this weekend! And there is always something better to do than list on ebay :o;)

    Have you ever tried Body Balance classes? CHeck if they have any at your gym. I went yesterday and my tummy and thighs have been screaming at me all day! It's a mixture od thai chi, yoaga and pilates so you don't always feel you are doing more than stretch at the time - but you spend most of the class stretching your core muscles, tucking in your tummy, squatting and lunging - so you really notice it asfter the class! I really enjoy it - it might be good for tummy muscles before hols? (And apparently Downward FAcing Dog yoga position is an anti-aging position... wonder how much telly you can watch upside down through your legs!)

    I hope you get more mystery shops before your hols! (I never spend mystery shop or survey money on debts - they're for me to spend!)

    Hi nicca, yeah I have done body balance before - a lonng time ago! It killed! I just liked having the couple of mins snooze at the end before you have to go! :rotfl:

    Still no sign of Tesco clothes :( Hoping today will be the day! Need something to cheer me up, I had a few glasses of vino too many last night _pale_
