    Well i have lost another 3lbs this week, dont quite know how ive done it, but thats what the scales say. Been quite a good month for me, have paid of 2 debts, lost 11lbs(19 total), tried my best not to get too stressed and have been keeping up with exercise.
    Cant wait til next month tho as its my birthday and i have a night out planned, dont think ive been out since march so it will be good to catch up with some mates and have a good time.
    Recently found out that im going to be an aunt again, very exciting.
    Got 2 items on ebay with bids, 1 with a watcher and the rest has nothing. Got a few days left tho so hopefully they will go.
    Done some housework today, putting off the ironing tho as i hate it. Right lets see what else i can do

    Was going to do the housework tonight (wash pots and ironing) but cannot be bothered so i am going to leave it till tomorrow.
    Jobs to do tomorrow:-
    ironing
    wash pots
    hoover living room
    do food shop
    do exercise
    clean ds1 room

    My lads have broke my internet dongle, but i think i have fixed it by cellotaping it to join it back together, will see how it goes but may have to invest in a new one now.
    not much done today, except my exercise and continual picking up of toys

    Busy day today, got a few things to do. so must write a list:-

    wash pots
    put clothes away
    do daily exercise
    clean living room
    put wet clothes on airer
    go to cash point and take out rent.
    Make cakes with kids
    bath kids, and myself

    Also need to keep an eye on ebay stuff. as it ends tomorrow and i will try and get out all the stuff that has bids on, so i am prepared to send them as soon as the people have paid. 3 items have bids, 10 dont, but i really am hoping that changes.

    Found my dress for my birthday and was a bargain at £5, was origanally £45, so just need to get some shoes and accessories.

    Just about to take the kids out and go and collect half the rent, as it wont let me take it out all in one day. Will make the cakes in a little while when we get back, going to watch formula one while i clean the living room, and then bath after dinner.

    well, today i have took the kids out, we went shopping and i have found my bag and belt for my birthday night out and now just need to sort out some shoes. might just wear some i already have. Treated the kids to maccy ds and i have also just made some cakes for them for later.

    Sold 4 things so far on ebay, only one has paid, still have 4 more things that finsh tonight, one of which i have had to relist as i have had a lady say she deffo wants it so i have done it on my it now. The other 3 things have watchers, but i aint getting my hopes up as they might not bid on them. Will check later to see if they sell.
    Have paid rossendales today and i have took the rest of the rent out the bank, she is coming for it tomorrow. Gotta go my phone is going off again

    Well have sold 6 out of 13 things on ebay, which isnt too bad i suppose. 4 have paid still waiting for the final 2. hope they do it before tomorrow morning so i can just do 1 trip to the post office.
    Wrapped 3 already, will do the other 1 in the morning as its upstairs and i dont want to wake the kids up.
    House is cleanish, the kids had cake earlier so there is a need for a hoover round, but again dont want to wake the kids and my hoover is very loud.

    Do you have a link to the new one as I've still been reading this one since I posted!

    And in response to you saying you don't think you're inspiring - part of it is because you're honest when you say you've had a day where you couldn't be bothered to do anything, or that you bought something you didn't really need but spent a bit of money anyway. When I have an off day, sometimes reading people saying how brilliantly they're doing makes me feel like I'm failing, so seeing that you can slip up and still do well makes me think that I can still do well when I slip up sometimes, if that makes sense?
