    New week, 3 weeks till going to see OH's parents. I need to up my exercise and diet, need to shift 4lbs in 3 weeks! I will try my best...

    Money wise, half of the salary is in so making £250 overpayment on Lloyds, we're under a £1000 now. When loan repayment goes out than we'll be closer to £500 so we will def. be able to pay it back before the end of April. This is a huge relief but Tesco's is still a high amount :(.

    Assignment is back, 85% this time. Very happy with that.
    I have another one due on the 11th than on the 21st and 24th. Need to sort out extensions I guess...

    Salary in, loan overpayment out. We're £100 down this month on overpayment but still managed to put in £1450 so that's not too bad. Next month will be even worst but at least no more Lloyds, planning to pay it off by the end of April.

    Otherwise all good and well, no babysitting planned for this weekend yet but hopefully will receive an offer soon.

    It's Thursday and day 4 on diet, I try to do a 1400 calories a day type of diet, so far I sticked to it and surprisingly I'm not hungry. Maybe it's just all about the attitude? I don't know but will weigh in tomorrow to see what is happening...

    No babysitting this weekend which I don't mind as I have a massive from thurs eve to mon morning babysitting booked. Good money but will be hard work. My aim is to pay back Lloyds with that money, that would be really awsome!!!

    Back for an update. Babysitting weekend went well but assignment hasn't been done so that's not really good at all. It's due tomorrow at lunch time and I haven't even started it so I feel today will be a long day. Work is busy at the moment, so no chance for me writing it up there. The good news is that I already passed the module, I just need to submit something, even if it is complete rubbish. Though would like to get a pass just in case.

    I am not very organized lately and will need to get back writing lists, the only thing I can remember to do is always overpay the loan. Mentioning loan, I made an overpayment yesterday, so loan balance is under £25 today. I will give them a call tomorrow and ask for a settlement figure and pay it off before we fly out to see OH's family. This will mean that we have only TEsco's left to pay off, I can't wait for that to go as well.

    I have plenty to do this week:
    • start and finish tma5
    • write letter to tesco's and close saving account
    • call tesco's about loan balance
    • file papers
    • buy dress
    • start and finish tma6
    • do reading for tma3
    • call mum to wish happy birthday
    • sort out clothes, get summer clothes out
    • make an ebay pile
    • write an email to sister
    • write an email to tennant
    • finish movie
    I'm sure I will add more to this list as the week goes by but this is it for start.

    Paid off Lloyds!!!

    Only Tesco to go! Will ask for settlement figure as I only have the whole amount in front of me, but it should be under £15k now.

    Happy, happy, happy day!!!

    We're back from visiting OH's parents, it was too long. We had a short break in Berlin which was lovely (apart from shoes giving me blisters), but the stay with the in-laws-to-be wasn't great. Never mind, it's over now. We're off to see my parents tmrw, coming back on Monday.

    Money wise no idea how we are doing, obviously these breaks cost us but hopefully not too much. We made the conscious decision to touch the rent money from the flats, it's about £3000 which is on a saving account and pay it towards Tesco's. This will reduce the interest and if we need money urgently than we will touch the credit card and pay less the next month. I should be able to call Tesco on Tuesday next week and pay it towards.

    I failed one of my assignments but passed the Ocas so still good to go for the Ema. I have an assignment due today which is half written, need to finish it at lunch time and send it off in the evening.

    Once we are back from my parents, I need to concentrate on eating better, the extra 2kilos I'm carrying really makes me feel awful. 2 kilos is one size up, and I don't look good anymore in my trousers and tops.

    Right,better go, have plenty to do today.
