Hi everyone :wave:

Phew, sounds like you are all being busy bees as usual! I am exhausted just reading! :rotfl:

Welcome helsee :beer: Hope you like it here! There's a new thread everyday so remember to look out for us. There's a so you can see us easily.

Today I only worked 4 hours! Such a nice feeling. Used up some flexitime this afternoon and had a wonder round the shops and sorted out some stuff at the bank.

I got a book out of the library today for the first time in ages.

Also shredded a cc application after I filled it in!
Decided:

• 0% for 6 months wouldn’t really be that much help
• would mean new credit check
• 3% transfer fee would be about 2m interest
• the offer of 0% purchases for a year = trouble! And exactly what caused all of my troubles a couple of years ago!

Also need to:

• Check banking to see if I can verify my Payp a/c and get sell, sell, selling on ebay
• Catch up with the flylady thread
• Update spending diary
• PAD to cc
• Put some coins in the jar
• Paint my nails
  

Catch up later ladies xx

Well done on the CC La Es :T:j:money:

Oooo I forgot my food:
Breakfast - 2 x weetabix and 250ml semi skimmed milk (HEA +
Lunch - 2 alpen lights (6 syns), apple and grapes
Dinner - pork medallions, new pots (again!) and broccoli
Snack - will have a muller light in a bit as I am hungry AGAIN!!!

I am struggling in the morning as I dont eat until 9am as I found I was needing 2 breakfasts but I am starving hungry by 7am. I am going to do a couple of hard boiled eggs tomorrow morning to see if that helps keep me going until 9!

Also need to work on lunches, was stuck for ideas today

Hi Cleosmum, I do the save on work lunches challenge - there will be a new one for May starting soon. You might find that helps you sort out lunches/gives you some ideas.

Hmm, not sure if they do actually, not specifically anyway...
