  • Just walked to the shops and back - knackered! Got 5 ebay parcels posted :j

    Trying to convince myself that I am not at all hungry - when infact I am starving! I think it's because i'm still breastfeeding - well that's my excuse anyway :rotfl:. Will do my best to curb my snacking however and have my first official "weigh-in" on Friday. I haven't weighed myself beforehand as I'm too scared :( - I do it on the wii fit and my little person will get all podgy and make me want to cry!

    I'm going to buy a chastity belt for the fridge! :rotfl:

  • Morning smiley_emoticons_winken4.gif

    Last night I went to bed with a thumping head - I think it was withdrawals from all the chocolate! confused-smiley-17512.gif

    Gas switched over to E:ON yesterday - Leccy will take a few more days apparently - wonder what my balance with scottish power will end up. I hope they owe me ......but it will likely be the other way round knowing my luck!

    Today I need to really gut the kitchen - and perhaps try to start going through DD's toys in the toy room (Old study that I converted as DD's toys filling up my living room was driving me insane!)

    I sat and did my ASDA shop this morning to be delivered at the weekend - I think I will be a little over my budget for shopping this month - but only a teeny tiny 50 odd pence - so I am really happy with this! 1sm080clap1.gif

    I'm hungry........ 1sm209yum1.gif
  • Just in from soft play, decided to take DDgirl.gif to use up some of her energy. No pennies spent however as we have a season ticket + we took our own juice

    OH was buying himself a Gregs and got me one teeny tiny sausage roll (How could I resist!) I had that and a cuppa soup for lunch - Brekkie was as always a bowl of sugar puffs and a coffee.


    Spacehopper.gif Postie brought Santander statement - Balance is £1848.18 - minimum payment £41.58. I don't think I will overpay this as It's interest free so will throw any extra at BoS

    1sm375piggybank.gif I have around £100 sitting in paypal from ebay and surveys, plus I have around £50ish still to come from tax credits. Will pay as much of this as I can to HBoS at the end of the month.

    girl-smiley-dusting.gifOff to clean the kitchen..........



    *note to self*- don't these smiley's brighten up my boring old drivel! ;)
