    Ive been the same! Also working nights constantly so have found myself waking up with no idea what time/day it is:rotfl:. The training school thing is a good idea,I do that too in between going to my usual salon so I dont spend too much. I got my hair highlighted at a local college once, took about an hour longer than usual but turned out fine and was TOTALLY FREE! Handy for a wee top up! Actually going to look if anyones offering just now :)
  • Hi ShoeGal,

    sounds like you have had a crazy few days! glad to hear the red shoes were lovely. I am evaluating my lack of footwear at the moment - I definitely have a capsule foot wardrobe and its taking it to the extreme, must do better! :D so I shall be inspired and emboldened and hopefully will be set up with beautiful shoes very soon :j New Look here I come :rotfl:

    hope you can get some rest over the weekend :)

    As January is coming to an end I feel it's been a bit of a mixed month. I have done OK money wise and have just about kept to my budget but I haven't actually been out this month so I am concerned that in a more 'sociable' month the budget is going to be too tight!

    I've lost 3lbs but as I put on 5 over a Christmas I've not really made any headway in this area - and I have only exercised twice in the whole month :o

    February definately needs to be about focussing on diet, exercise and weightloss! I feel quite tired and a bit 'out of sorts' - think I have worked too much and not looked after myself this month

    Going out this afternoon for my Mum's birthday, then need to decide on a plan for February :)

    I have managed to lose a pound this week, and my salary goes in tomorrow (my available balance is 25p :rotfl::rotfl: - close to the wire this month!)

    Few houseworky things to do today, then determined to do the Davina weights workout before I go out for a family meal tonight

    My February focus is going to be diet/exercise/weightloss. So my target is to lose half a stone, exercise 3 times a week and sign up for the 10k in June, then start training for it! :eek: To achieve this I know that I need to be disciplined and get into a routine, and cut down my work hours to closer to what I am actually paid to work! :p

    Well done on the 1lb loss SG. Can't believe you had 25p in your account before pay-day, brilliant, and very close to the wire.

    Hey you made it without going overdrawn :j:beer:

    I've had a really really spendy weekend :eek: and agree with you about the sociable side, so hard to keep an eye on the spends when you go out. :o

    And being hungover never helps me.......:o
    I've got my own flat :j:j

    Now I have to pay the bills :eek:

    And feed my interiors addiction ;)
