Ollie Lollie's 2010 Diary

Olliegami

So, It's February tomorrow - and I want to kick off to a new start.

It's a fresh month (broke up with my gf of 2 years in January.) and I'm feeling up to the challenge. I'm wanting to get debt free ASAP, and intend on going to Uni in September 2011!

It's just me and my housemate living here, with the bunny~ Hopefully, I can update this thing once a day! We'll see how that goes. =P

Big thanks to Intergalactic Floozie for her inspiration this morning!

Positive Things:

[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]I went to the gym again for the first time in ages! Finally, srsly. I only really managed half of my regime though, I'm so out of it at the moment! Thinking of going tomorrow...

Storecupboard breakfast/lunch and dinner today though, which was good, and had a nice chat with my housemate about life and love - which was a little squishy, but there were no tears this time! Victory.

- £10.00 - Bus money!

- £40.46 - Vodafone payment went out this month. I... am going to regret getting this contract aren't I? -_-
[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]
Positive Things:

[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]Went to the gym again today, YAY. I managed a lot more, and booked myself in for a session with one of the trainers to help plan a regime for me to get fit for the Race For Life. Even if only so I can jog it. I am a little concerned though, cause I really shouldn't run in the shoes I have now - they're skate shoes, so flat = not good for posture, etc.

I avoided buying so much stuff at Tesco, which was fab. Also, overcooked on the spaghetti bolognese, so I've got some for tomorrow's dinner. ^^;

- £1.99 - Graze... My weekly treat. It was so yummy.
- Bank Difference: [FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] Payment for my Credit card bill came out. ;_; I think this was the last thing to leave me account this month (that's planned) so I'm £-104.22 into my overdraft. Hopefully though, I don't need to take any more money out of the bank!
- £1.60 - Bus Fare
- £0.49 - Nutrigrain bar. I had to break the tenner, else the bus driver wouldn't have let me on.

[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]
Positive Things:

[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]My Mum has offered to buy me some shopping online, too. She lives in Alaska, and said that she'd probably have taken me out for a meal if she knew I was money saving, so yay![/FONT]
[FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]
[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]Not much else to say though, really. I'm so tired. Cooked some sausages, not really sure why cause I ate the left over spaghetti bolognese for tea - so I suppose I'll do something with them later.

Positive Things:

[/FONT]I've had such a busy, tiring, but rewarding day. I managed to avoid town on the way back from my Psychotherapy appointment - dropped into the Library instead to see if I could find the book about the Harcombe Diet that I'm really interested in thanks to someone on the Lose Weight 28 board.

I am so tempted to get it online. ;_;

- £1.65 - Tesco. Milk, Pineapple chunks (20p!) and Plain chocolate.
- £15.89 - Tesco. Made the mistake of offering to pay when my housemate and I went shopping, now instead of owing her £3 for the items I bought exclusively for me, she's going to give me £7. -_- Not going to argue about it - Moving out in two weeks tomorrow!
[FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]
Positive Things:

[/FONT]Yesterday was fantastic, I went to the gym and started a new routine to get me ready for the Race for Life in May! I made the odd decision to sign up for the 10k...

What was I thinking?! Anyway, My thighs are killing me. xD; I did spend £1.30 on a drink whilst I was there cause I left both my bottles at work. -_-

Have a feeling a lot of money is going to be spent in Poundland tomorrow on cleaning products for March Out when we move out - thinking of popping loads of stuff on ebay soon though!
