****Littlekel's diary - Getting on the right track :-) ****

Morning Kel,

Hope you're ok. Don't beat yourself up about the 1lb, us womens bodies are funny - I can put on 2lbs in a day through a little bad eating or because of time of the month - it could just be as simple as that! I bet next week it'll be gone and more! Main thing is you can feel the difference and that's what's important and the fact you are keeping up the exercise is fab as you'll be fitter

I love reading your diary as you are so super organised, put me to shame as don't have children or anything like that to worry about Always motivating when I come on here :A

Have yourself a good day x

I had the same problem with Argos last year for my daughters birthday, there were 2 animal hospital toys on the same code and they were all the same - the one she already had!

I know exactly what you mean about home distractions, I keep meaning to start revision but it's not happening, even though I KNOW I will be so annoyed at myself if I fail!

Have a good day all

Hi Kel :hello:

Great saving on the pressie just think if Argos had the cat in you'd have spent more than you needed too

Don't worry about the 1lb a cup of coffee probably weighs about that so blame it on having a drink

Have a great day xx

Choc - Nice that you think i am organised! I do try to be...though sometimes it doesnt go to plan. OH helps with the organising as he helps out a lot around the house lately which allows me time to number crunch etc!

Moose - definitely because i had a drink!!! :rotfl: LOL i really wish i could claim that but unfortunately it was first thing in the morning!! lol

JTR - I had a couple of course with the OU and struggled to actually sit down and do them

Had a good day

Though my god did my muscles ache this morning after the boxing yesterday on the wii. It pained me to even use the self inking stamp on the invoices today!! Still soldiered on and did 20 mins on the cross trainer. Then i walked to and from work. Just over a mile each way. Went in early so i could finish at 3pm :j

Sports day tomorrow. My DD has been put in my brothers group (he is a year older) which is great news as i can follow her group around the events and me and mum can watch them both together!

Extra £82 wasn't in my TC payment today! Hopefully next week and then i can pay LW.

Payday tomorrow!!!!!!!

Been looking at party venues for the wedding today! Found a couple i like..depends on OH!! Exciting! My list is 109 people. 80 adults and 29 children. This is EVERYONE i would consider inviting to the party. So number should be less as some won't go i would imagine. So not too bad. Emailed a friend asking what she would charge for 3 hours work as my photographer for the party. Hoping it will be a reasonable price.

Beef casserole from the freezer for dinner tonight. I am trying to cut down on potatoes so i am going to have extra peas with it and just do roasties for OH :A

I was a bit concerned about our grocery spend jumping up. At one point i had worked out we would only spend about £180. Though on reflection we did get bbq bits and we also have a fair bit on meals for June. So hoping to be well under in June. I have to start thinking of it that any under spend on grocery chips off our debt! That might be more motivational!

Also i am going to be eating a lot of cheaper 'meals' like beans on toast or omlette etc. (for diet reasons). Also i am hoping to have smaller portions of regular meals which should stretch it further.

Got my littlewoods statemtn today...nice to see all the overpaymetns i have made through the month on there! Made me smile! Though need to add £9 to my sig with the interest added on this month! Hopefully not for much longer!

Can't find my birthday present budget list so will have to do it all over again A couple of cousins i want to shave off which will save some much needed pounds. These 4 cousins have birthdays between july and dec so thats £40 saved. May still get a small something for xmas for them as their parent buy for my two at xmas!

Hope you enjoyed the casserole, tis one of my faves
Sorry I lol'd about you aching after the boxing, been there done that (once:o ) took me ages to figure out what it was that had made me hurt:rotfl: well done on still doing the cross trainer
Grrr that the extra TC hasn't come in yet Fingers & toes crossed it comes in next week.

Just seen piccies of your girls, they're both beautiful

Have fun at sports day tomorrow, is the weather going to be good?

Hiya

Sorry to hear about the TC payment, it's so annoying when things don't turn up when you want them too :mad:

109 people for your wedding party?! I don't think I even know that many people let alone like them enough to invite them :rotfl:

I guess I am lucky in some ways that my family is small - me, mum, brother and my daughter so I don't have to buy for a ridiculous amount of people!

Well done on all the exercise, those pounds will be dropping off quicker than I can eat my other half's snickers!!

Right i have had a good day so far!!

Payday - so that's always good Made payments i needed to.

Sent my monthly payment of £30 to LW (minimum is actually only £10) + £40 left from my birthday money. Then i realised i need to pay any extra £4 to get it under the £300 so logged back in and changed my payment to £74!!

Woohoo now down to £299! Another £150 to go before i can attack the wedding debt! :jHave this £82 i'm waiting for too!

BIG WOOHOO today is OH has got his 5th day at work back! That means his wage is £200 extra a month but my CTC goes down by £100. £100 better off is still great!

I am thinking i may not change my circumstances with TC for a couple of months. This gives me an extra £200 that i can throw off the card. Better to do this and save interest quicker and then TC will drop a bit more for the remaining months. Logically this saves me on interest!

DD1's sports day today as fantastic! She did so well being such a little slip of a thing. Weather was gorgeous and then DD2, OH and I got to have a picnic with her afterwards! It was a really lovely atmosphere! The weather was gorgeous!!! Lovely to sit out in the sun!!!

Moose - thanks about the comment on my daughters! They are so different! DD1 is small, skinny, quiet with a small head and fine hair. DD2 is taller for her age, more stockily built, loud, and had a HUGE head with masses of thick hair! Seriously a HUGE head! I have to snip the backs of some PJ tops to fit her head through!! :rotfl:

JTR - i love having a huge family but it does make things costly - a lot of my debt is due to spoiling people with presents!!

Right i had better be off to drink my tea before going to take DD's swimming lessons! x

Kel, i'm going to pm you my email for facebook - will be nice to put a face to someone I talk to everyday!

Your LW will be down before you know it, how fab will that be!!! Bet you are super excited about wedding party too.....I love weddings One day it'll be my turn....in the distant future :rotfl:

Dieting is easy if you can cut out a few bits here and there which you seem to be doing, you'll have lost all the weight you wanted to in no time :T

Have a nice afternoon x

jtr2803

Good afternoon Kel & CA!

:T @ your other half getting his 5th day back, that's amazing news and will help out loads! Good to hear that the sports day was a success and the weather held out for you, it's absolutely miserably here today and I found out the hard way that my shoes leak :mad:

I am sure that £299 will soon vanish into thin air

Realised earlier that you had put in a post about going to Crealy! We went to a caravan park in Ladram Bay last September and went to Crealy (I have the photo fridge magnet) and it was amazing!! I thought for what we paid it was fantastic, a few rides, lots of animal interaction and we had great weather!

If you haven't been before your children will adore it!
