Kavics' bumpy journey to become once again DF!

Hi Missy,
Welcome back!

Whop, whop, I lost 4 pounds!!! Yeah! I'm so glad as I put it on after I came back from Spain at the beginning of July but it's all gone now. I have another 4 to go than I will be well under 9st:).

6 days to go till payday! OH yesterday booked us a short break to Portugal at the end of November, I wasn't very happy about it but he is the one who is responsible for our holidays next year so I didn't have much to say. It was £48 for the two of us flying by Ryanair, than booked us the easybus to get to Stanstead for £8 return (for 2). So so far it's very MSE. His collegue is from Porto and his father might be able to put us up, we find it out tonight, it's only for 3 nights so even if not than accomodation would cost us around 100 Euros. I don't count on this money to boost our debt anyway, this means that OH has to manage to book our next year holiday from less.

A friend is staying with us on Sat and Sun night due to leave on Monday so I guess it will be a busy weekend. I try to grab babysitting for tonight, every little helps. We'll do our weekly shopping in Tesco's tmrw, have £13 off vouchers so should come out under £20 alltogether. I got the money from landlord for curtains and blinds so will pay that today towards CC.

Right, better check bank balance than get ready for work.

Mega congrats on your weight loss, I can only dream of being 9st! I think I was always about 9'4 before DD came along and the lowest I have been since then is 11'11 .

The portugal break sounds nice and is very cheap . A £13 Tesco voucher, eek, that's good! I think the most I have had is £6.

Hope you have a good weekend

Oh, dear, I'm in trouble:o. MOney trouble:o.

Council tax just went out from my account and my salary is only due on Friday:o. I touched my savings and hoping that nothing else will go out till than. OH, well, life:(.

Went to the cinema (using 40%off voucher, thanks Martin!), watched the new Julia Roberts movie, it was good but still thinking about it;).

Weekly shopping done, we saved £18 at the end at Tesco's ,well pleased with ourselves. WE are off to Turkey on Saturday, but OH pays for everything so I am glad:). No need for me to budget for it!

Doing better than I imagined!!!

Didn't manage to get to the gym yest but I will go tonight, booked spinning class already.

Even though I lost weight I still have muffin top:(, I can imagine myself on the holiday pictures looking fat .Oh, well, I should have lost the weight earlier, can only blame myself. I must try harder and lose the muffin top by end of October-the last 4 pounds are the hardest.

Half of the salary arrived on bank account, rest should come by Friday than I can move the money to different saving accounts and overpay the loan before we go away. OH is working tmrw (supposed to be his day off) and I have a babysitting for 14th October.

I forgot to take food out of the freezer for tonight so OH is eating on his own (I take home from work my lunch) and I can have a day off from eating dinner, yeah, I should do this more often!

I can't attend my tutorials as they are on those days when we are on holiday but got the confirmation from a different tutor that I could attend hers a week later so feeling much more positive about it. Still need to photocopy a couple of pages so I can take them on holiday rather than taking the whole book. Right, better go, work, work, work...

£500 moved to emergency saving account, hoping to make an overpayment on Friday. Not sure about the amount yet, but around £800 would be great. We shall see. I have credit card going out (around £450) this month,as well as the bills and rent but will need to check everything tonight before i figure out what i can afford.

I have my boss' son tonight for sleepover, they are dead tired with the newborn baby and I offered that I could take the toddler back home with me after work (he is always here, we're very attached) so they greatly appreciated my offer and OH can't wait to give him a bath and play daddy:). This means that tmrw I don't need to come to work till 12 . Happy days!
