Climbing out of the hole I call home!!! Lizzie's 2011 Diary :)

Well it's been a busy few days round these parts. Managed to keep spending pretty low, apart from OH night out on Friday when he ended up spending around £70, and then spent £17.80 on takeaway on Saturday night because we were both fit for nothing. Him hungover & me exhausted from the stress of the night before when I thought he'd gone missing (he hadn't his phone had just packed up!!) but I have never been so scared in my whole life I had been out on Friday night too, to watch Paul Carrack, but managed to spend only £2.25 on parking and drinks, and the tickets were free
Time to get my !!! back in gear, need to dream up some exciting things to eat on our ever tightening budget as I'm getting very bored of eating the same 3 or 4 meals over & over again.

I did do one moneysaving thing today...Taken an account holiday from the dvd rentals we have. We do watch them so I dont want to cancel completely but cant afford it til i'm working again so we have a holiday until April which will free up a little extra a month.

Gosh I've neglected my diary again.
I did fall off the wagon with my spending diary and OH broke his wrist just over 2 weeks ago, but luckily has still been able to go to work.
But as today marks the start of my last week of unemployment, I am back with a vengeance, the money and the weight loss is back on track.
My sister entered us in Race for Life yesterday (this will be my 5th year I think) so I need to get in shape and get a good time in. I have till the beginning of June for that.
Have weighed in on my Wii Fit this morning at 9st10lb (a BMI of 22.66) and set my target of a BMI of 22.00 (a loss of 4lb) in two weeks. So after the walk to town I will get the housework done then squeeze in a Wii Fit workout before OH gets home.
No sitting on my bum all day at any point this week. And as soon as I've harvested my farmville farm I will move my !!! from the sofa and be away.

Hope all you regular readers find your way back, Sorry for falling off the wagon, I think I'm safely back on it now

Much Loves xxxx

Well I managed to make it into town and back without getting blown away...just!!
Got a few bits of food we needed (£4)
And some shampoo, cream, and a new water bottle for when I go back to work (£2.54)
And 5 lots of grow your own veg packs (£4.90 of Christmas money)
And watched the roof get blown off one of the pubs :eek:

Didnt manage to get the trousers or shoes I wanted for work, but will ask mum to look in her Tescos for me.

Now to make a yummy omlette for lunch then get on with my jobs and plant my seeds

Lovely bright and sunny morning here today, might get out for a walk later as didnt manage a Wii Fit work out yesterday. Weighed in this morning with a BMI of 22.77, gained 1lb so today will definitely be an eat less move more day as I'm now 5lb off my target of 9st6lb (BMI of 22) by the 21st Feb.

Time to get moving as soon as I've tended to my farm, and today will hopefully be a NSD

Much love xxxx
