I really begrudge paying full price for anything now:) Which is such a change from how things used to be:o

Not many plans for today -

Return Next sale stuff (not a bargain if it's horrible) Good advice
Go to work
Go for run at lunchtime me too if the rain holds off (I don't mind running in the rain but it mucks my hair up.....)
Take this house apart until I find my £1.50 Tesco voucher:) Hope you find more than the £1.50 - lots of positive vibes coming your way
Have an NSD

Plans for weekend (will just keep adding to this and might get some things done before the weekend)

Sort out holiday stuff from last year
Sort out clothes for next free listing day on ebay
weed garden (I hate gardening) I hate weeding, watering my baskets is about all I can manage
Cut hedges (massive task) Thanks goodness I just have fences

First things first - get up and face the world:)

I hope you manage all you set out to achieve today. Have a good one!

Cheers Polesalot, the positive vibe worked. I asked my Mum if she had any vouchers and I discovered that poor Mum thought that if you didn't use the club card vouchers they carried over to the next month and the ones she had went out of date, so she binned them. On the positive side she still had £14 left in vouchers and she now knows how they work. I now have 4 Alton towers tickets:T

Not many plans for today -

Return Next sale stuff (not a bargain if it's horrible) Mum going past shop tmw
[STRIKE]Go to work[/STRIKE] - , done again
Go for run at lunchtime -did 35 mins and it was a beautiful day
[STRIKE]Take this house apart until I find my £1.50 Tesco vouche[/STRIKE]r:) - found it and Mum came up trumps.
[STRIKE]Have an NSD[/STRIKE] -sort of. Paid for hire car and carparking but my sister is giving me the money. Will hold her by ankles and shake the money out of her.

I'm sitting here watching Eastenders, then it's a mini pile of ironing (does it breed?)

Morning all

I posted on here earlier but it's disappeared probably didn't hit the submit reply button.

Well today is not going to be an NSD as I have just spent £40.03!!!! on petrol. One of the drivers in my carshare is off this week and i can really tell.

I also have to pay for WW tonight. Hopefully if I've lost 1/2 lb I'm at their goal weight. I'm not sure if that means I get free membership straight away?? I do want to lose a few more pounds but also want free membership:)

Last night I managed to sort out my holiday stuff and apart from discovering that my white vests are gray, I don't think I need anything else.

I've found a few things for e-bay but since discovering money saving expert I've kind of e-bayed everything that wasn't nailed down.

Anyway have a wonderful day and will post later to let you know if I'm a proud owner of a gold WW card. Please please please

I had problems posting yesterday...it kept asking me to log-in again.

Good luck tonight at WW.

Have a lovely day

meersy22

I did it I've lost 1 lb :T which means I've reached gold at WW :j:j so it's free membership. Still want to lose a few more pounds but at least I don't have to pay for it.

Spends - £40.03 + WW £5.95 fee + £2 WW bars.

Points - 17 :T

Not much craic today, it's just work work work. Can't complain I have a job.

Another plan for this weekend is to dust off my bike and see if it's roadworthy. Probably have to take a million cobwebs of it first:eek:

Short post today as nephew wants to watch spiderman on my computer:) You can see I'm going to have a fun night

Have a good evening everyone.

vasseur

That's excellent re the WW - well done. Definitely keep it up if it motivates you and is free

meersy22

Thank you Poles. I've been trying to beat the 9 stone barrier for about 10 years, so really pleased:j:j

So plans for today

[STRIKE]Run[/STRIKE] - done. I ran 35 mins and it was a beautiful morning. My brother recommended Mumford & sons and have started listening to them. When the banjos kick in I feel like the mascots in the weetabix ad sprinting past the elite runners in my dreams.
Drag bike out of shed - prob have to buy some oil.
Go swimming with nephews
Then just the usual strife - clean kitchen, change bed sheets.

Can't make any headway in debt busting as am monthly paid so trying not to spend much (easier when you have no money:D)

Watching students on GMTV getting ready to open A level results - how can they do that????? I had to open mine yeas ago with one eye closed peeking at them

Hope you all have a good day

Morning all

Have been out and done my run this morning. Again it was a choice between Shred and Run. The run won

Spends yesterday not so good £8.12 in Tesco and £8.50 in Swimming pool. The youngest forgot his goggles and there was no reasoning with him so bought a cheap £2 pair but every penny counts.

Need to start adding my food again as didn't track my points yesterday and piece of chocolate cake slipped in.

Plans today
[STRIKE]
Run [/STRIKE] - done:j
Work
Have a relaxing evening.

Main plans for this weekend
Strim lane
weed garden and
Cut hedges.

Did I mention how much I hate gardening ??? I really am not green fingered so don't even bother with pot plants.

vasseur

Morning!

Don't you find that when you've done your run everything else is so much easier to deal with? I do.

I've been for 4 runs this week and a pole class last night and boy am I feeling it today in a way it's quite a nice feeling not feeling anything wobble if I can just blank out the battered feeling .

Swimming is so expensive here too. If me and DD go (and she is a member of the leisure centre, I'm not) it costs us nearly a tenner :eek: I would rather spend that money on a nice lunch somewhere. At least there's no danger of my hair dye leaking when we do that!

I hate gardening too and mine is all paved it's the bessed weeds that keep poking through and making it all look untidy. It does make you realise how hard people with beautiful gardens work. I used to think they pretty much took care of themselves :rotfl:

Have a nice day....

Evening all

Bit late in the day for me but Saturday's just pass by in a blur.

Managed to get washing and ironing done early this morning. Took to garden with lots of weedkiller. My plan is to see if that makes the weeds a bit more agreeable about getting out of my garden

Went for another appointment at opticians and I think my eyes just aren't right for contacts as the lens move too much and are uncomfortable. I should be less vain and wear my glasses out.

Managed a comfortable 5 mile run but have been eating like a hoglet all day. Not going to count points as that would be too depressing.

On the spends front - not too bad. Spent 20 quid in Tesco but that was on BF shopping which he will give back to me tmw and other than that I spent 2 quid on pants. That's it.. going to give myself a wee pat on head.

Not sure what plans are tmw. Think it will be an NSD day and spending day out and about with lovely BF and that's me. 2 weeks to holiday and I can't wait
