    Is it Thursday already!?! This week has flown by :eek:

    NSD for me yesterday - woo hoo :j Not going to meet my target set but guess another day is better than none. I do wonder if sometimes I forget when i've had them if that makes sense. Must keep up with that spending diary - oops :o:o:o

    Another trip to the dentist for me today :( Teeth are actually feeling fine at the moment but best to get it checked out, have to have another x-ray. Que Choc turning into a ten year old sat in the waiting room :o Such a wimp!

    Hope everyone has a good day :) x

    Just re-jigged some figures and now debt repayment fund is at £24.27 :j I know seems small but that brings my lowest debt forward more than one month earlier to being paid off. Baby steps and all that!

    I now have £30 per week to last me until payday :eek: Wonder how that will go, doesn't matter as have to do it if I want rid of this debt. Have £17 in purse and OH owes me £20 so hopefully it won't be too bad. I can see many NSD's coming up - probably reach my new May target in the first half of the month :rotfl:

    OH is finally seeing the light and has asked for more batch cooking dinners as he took a chilli to work both yest and another today and 'really' enjoyed it - bless him, only taken years ;)

    Which reminds me, must pop and take salmon out of freezer for tea tonight - yum!

    Morning all,

    Clear blue sky here at the moment but not sure how long it'll last, bad weather is settling in so they say :(

    Had me a lovely evening with friend last night, healthy tea and went for a nice long run - just what the doctor ordered.

    Nothing exciting ahead, working today, working overtime tonight, working overtime Sat and working overtime Sun - I know how to live it up eh! Well OH is on shift all weekend so thought may as well earn me the pennies too. We have Monday off together which will be nice :) I've decided to work super hard with the overtime as we have a week booked off at the beginning of June - a little hard work won't hurt until then and i'll have a restful week (if climbing moutains and kayaking can be seen as restful ;)) off in Scotland and Snowdonia then - can't wait :j

    Not looking foward to the £30 per week spends for the next couple of weeks, pay day isn't until 15th of each month :eek: I will do it though as have no choice! Spoke to my Dad last night, bless him he's been saving his £2 coins for me and has about a tenners worth, I told him silly billy and that I didn't expect him to and he said he liked to as it's his little way of helping me - i'm very lucky. Only wish he didn't work away so much as don't get to see him that often :( That said, i'm sure if he was here all the time he would drive me nutty as is a tad crazy my Daddy :rotfl:

    Anyway, another fun filled day/eve of work for me, finish in....oh....12hours time :eek::eek::eek:

    Have a good day lovelies :) x

    Morning Choc, shame you are working all weekend although I suppose I would if DH was too. Week off in June sounds good, if not a little healthy!
    This time I haven't smoked since 6th Jan 2014 and still going ok.
    Fingers crossed x

    :rotfl:I'm an outdoors girl, do sometimes wonder why I am working in an office/couped up all the time :rotfl:Pays the bills, that's why! Love a beach hols too but I couldn't sit on lounger all day for couple of weeks, get itchy feet and can't sit still....tend to coinside the two i.e. hire a car and explore, walk in mountains, afternoon for few hours on beach or pool - saving monies this year so no hols abroad although OH was talking about perhaps going over to spain and doing some outdoor climbing there so guess that may be part beach hols? That said, we're moving etc hopefully this year so not likely money wise..... writing this just makes me want to work harder so I have 'choices' :mad:
