Thank you all, I'm still really chuffed about the overpayment


Tonight is WW weigh-in, I'm not expecting to have lost much, if any at all, my scales at home are saying pooibly half a pound. Not much, but last time I did WW I lost 3.5 the first week and then 0.5 the second, so it would be the same again if it is
Nothing much else to report so far today, a normal day at work, my line manager is due back tomorrow, she hasn't been in since Xmas so that will be nice to see her

Back from WW and I lost 2lbs this week :j :j I've no idea how, I weighed myself on my scales before we went and when we got back and they both said I only lost 1lb and normally they are the same as at WW


So, thats 5.5lbs in 2 weeks, next goal is to lose another 1.5lbs and get to the first half a stone
Spends = £5.15 on ww bars, and £1.35 on chips at the chippy for me and ds on the way home (my weekly treat to celebrate
). Mortgage Total: £50,772/ £75,000

I know what mean, it's that cold, wet January feeling when there is too much month for the money. Seems like a long time to payday and even longer to Spring!! But you still lost weight so keep on going

Evening all, yay its friday night :j :j I have a friend coming round this evening to learn how to matched bet. I'm really looking forward to showing her, I hope it helps her earn some extra money like it has me, my only worry is that she reads all the rubbish I post here

not that I think theres anything much here that I wouldn't tell her, in fact I don't think theres anything here I wouldn't tell her in rl, but it feels anonymous when I post here, it feels strange to think she may 'uncover' me
but I need to direct her to the giol board and the guidea on there to help her once she gets started.
Spends today = £2.64 on pasta at school for lunch, and £2.42 on diet coke and bits for tonight.
Ds has just gone to his dads, so tonight will be fun with a mate, the rest of the weekend will involve food shopping, returning a couple of bits to Next, returning library books, submitting my tax return online (the code came today), sorting out the Blockbusters and Merlin passes stuff from Tesco clubcard, and hopefully some money making in there too
