looks like a good meal plan you have sorted - should really start doing weekly plans myself - sort of stopped last week for no reason!!

:jmaintenance of £60 is in the bank. Happy, happy. WIll need to use some of it as kids have a charity day today but I can put the rest of it towards ARGOS and my monthly taret will be a bit closer

It's slightly Freaky- I thought I'd pop over and say hi as you've been kind enough to say hello on my diary- turns out we're the same age, I need to lose 27lbs (nearly the same as you) and my OH is currently cooking corned beef hash for tea tonight.... (which I have to say is not quite as appetising as our usual Friday takeaway but much more MSE). I'm sitting here with a red wine

I just hope my DFD can be as soon as yours....!

Looks like you've made a great start despite some "issues" which aren't helping (ex-OH!)- keep it up I'm sure you will get there.

Great news on CSA hope you can stick to budget so most can go to ARGOS as planned.

Kp please excuse interruption here, but so glad you got sorted on other thread. I do hope things are ok and that you will stay with us when you can. I do think you had a very valid point and if I'd been in tyour shoes, I would have felt exactly the same. It was.nt you that created'the elephant' if that makes sense.


Best regards

Hi folks. Gosh I am whacked tonight. Well THe Harrys my corned beef hash was yummy. A wee bit of grated cheese on top and son and I scoffed the lot with some sweetcorn. I have more than 25 lbs to lose I'm afraid, I have set this interim target for myself to run alongside the 100 day challenge. Well it's a start :rotfl:.

Was delighted today to get the £60. Can't believe how happy I was to see it. Saddo . I mean its only £60 hardly a fortune. BUt hey I used it well. I put £20 petrol in car instead of £15. I spent £32 in Morrisons instead of the £22 I planned BUT I bought loads of yogurts and fruit. SHould do me all week. I owe my friend £7 towards a bottle of whiskey for a gift and I paid £30 to Argos. ONly £530 to go :eek: by 19th April:eek:. Definitely a challenge for me. I have until JUne before interest kicks in but to manage argos and sony this year then I need to do it this way. I got a letter in from Barclaycard today telling me they have raised my limit by £1000. Will need to have a look at interest rates etc and see if I can do a balance transfer and save myself some money. I have kept the other £15 to cut myself some slack as I can then use it for lunch money next week and have promised DS his pocket money weekly rather than monthly if he keeps his room tidy. So I have £40 to pay the £7 to mate, go to a party,kids lunches for week and DS's pocket money. I might just manage it :rotfl:. If I get a good week then I can maybe find the £40 next week so I can reach my target for this month. I will be ecstatic if I manage that as it has been a 5 week month. I will have spent £108 on school lunches:eek: which is a huge chunk out of my £350 shopping budget. I still have £28 left to buy some food next week. Again if I manage a 5 week month on £350 including lunches then I will be ecstatic too. I hope I am ecstatic :rotfl:. Rambled a bit but it clears my head x

nice one MIT no wonder your thrilled - im sure you deserve every penny of that £60!

millionaire_in_training

I was on your diary same time you posted on here weeclick.

I just realised if I manage to pay £60 rather than the £40 then I meet the challenge I have set myself and also the 100 one. Hmmm wonder if I can go without food for a week:rotfl:

weeclick

haha I saw that MIT! Great minds think alike

not sure I could live a day without food haha.

:rotfl::rotfl:That was a joke obviously weeclick, I would never survive. Have been fabby all week but had a few nibbles tonight at a 50th party I was at. Good night was had. I took car so only spent a fiver. Bit better than last week's £50 :eek:.

Not been too bad spendswise today. Spent £6.90 on shopping ( again) £1.94 onposting my bil's present amd £5 tonight. Still have £20 I can lift from bank so will get that tomorrow so I have money for the kids lunches for during the week. I will be taking food from home as usual .

Really need to get to bed as I am quite tired now.
