'I love you but I love ME more' Souk's 2011 diary

Love it! I sometimes wonder how I manage to get myself undressed and into bed without causing damage to myself or my property.....but somehow it happens Generally no pot noodle though - I would fail at the bit where I would have to pour the water into the pot

Lol!

I have just finished the longest/most boring survey ever. It was on of three long and boring surveys so I got lots of extra points and have ordered a £15 Amazon voucher so I can buy nice things! Beleive me, I deserve it!

I can relate to that - when I was picking up the last few points that enabled me to get an Amazon voucher from toluna, I thought I'd go out of my skull!

Hi all,

Had a lovely day today, lots of pottering!

Did some sums tonight and worked out that I spend 6% of my earnings on debt, 43% on living in my flat (rent, CT, electric and contents insurance), 19% on savings and 23% on fun. I like this as it has taken a while to get to this and now here I am! Done my August budget tonight and its looking okay for the holiday. Need to double check my savings with mum as I have taken a bit out lately but should be plenty there.

This months money looks like this:
Groceries: £59.11 spent so 89p left :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:Don't worry I wont starve as I have quite a bit in the freezer but I will have to spend more as this diet malarkey is expensive.
Nectar Points: I have £2.50 which I can take off my shopping.
Amazon Account: Awaiting a £15 voucher. :j:j:j
Odds and Sods fund: I have never really succesfully allocated this for much in the past but its all my piggy money and it can be used for 'something'. Its sitting at 5.95 which I will bank tomorrow. They love me at my bank :rotfl:
Purse: £17 to last until Thursday with no social comitments. Im away with work on Tuesday but thanks to MG have my packed lunch sorted so wont need to spend anything. I'll probably get a Glamour mag for the trip down though as my colleague is already there and will only be travelling back with me this time.

I'm loving my new phone and have downloaded a lovley little ap called Out of Milk where I can write all sorts of lists :j

My friends hen weekend is next weekend so Im off work Saturday - Tuesday. Heading off on Saturday afternoon for poledancing, dinner and much drinking :beer:. I'll pause the diet for it then its back on it folks. First time on the scales tomorrow and really hoping Ive lost a bit as Ive been to the gym 5 times this week and eaten properly, apart from the Pot Noodle!

Ooh, I'm going to do my percentages tomorrow when I get to work.....will be interesting to see how far I have come since the days when my figures looked something like....

Debt 110%
Household 80%
Kids essentials 1%
Kids [STRIKE]non essentials[/STRIKE] skiing 40%
Me....big fat 0%

:o:o

Lol at the above Hypno.

Well I'm really pleased to tell you that at my 1st weekly weigh in I have lost 5lbs. I stuck to the diet totally, apart from on Wednesday for a few hours and went to the gym 5 times. This has really spurred me on to keep going!!!

mooomin

Well done! :T:T:T
