  • Hi everyone
    I have had a busy day at work - I am now not getting my half day at work tomorrow as there are staff on holiday and 1 off sick in my area so I am working it - getting paid for it though so all not that bad!! :D
    I did my Gran's shopping tonight and as I was leaving she gave me £10 towards petrol, which was good of her.

    Another NSD here and hopefully tomorrow will be the same :D:D

    Enjoy your Friday

  • Hi everyone
    I have had a lovely day today.
    My boss found out at 2pm that one of the area's had less children than she thought so I managed to get away from work at 2.30pm
    Came home and have chilled out - had the worlds worst sleep last night, went to sleep at 11pm last night and woke at 3.22am :( Have been very tired today, an early night is in order I think!

    Another NSD today for me, I don't intend to spend all that much over the weekend, maybe a WW mag at class tomorrow if it's in but that's about it.
    I am babysitting tomorrow night, and do not intend going out on Sunday as it's 6 nations rugby day and I can't be bothered with the hassle of the traffic! :eek:

    Have a good weekend all.

  • Hi everyone
    I have had a fairly quiet day today.
    Went to WW this morning, lost 0.5lb taking me back to goal weight - I have not heard back from my interview yet, however my leader asked me how I got on as the area leader had contacted her about me!!:eek: She said that the area leader is ill and would hopefully contact me next week sometime. I am also going to be weighing next week in class :eek: quite nervous about that as I have never done that before.

    Babysitting now and planning on doing nothing tomorrow!!

    Today's spends
    85p can of diet coke
    £1.90 WW magazine
    Total - £2.75

    That's it for today :D
    Enjoy your Sunday whatever you have planned

    Hi everyone
    Had a little bit of a spendy day today!:eek:
    I gave my Sketchers shapeups their 1st try as well as I walked to the local shopping centre (10mins away) Boy do they work! My calves and butt cheeks were feeling it and I felt as though I had been on an hours walk at least!! :D

    Spent money in boot, WHSmith and Morrisons and went window shopping too :D Nearly bought THIS dress in M&Co for my friends wedding in May, was nice on but a little low cut for me :(

    I forgot to say the other day - I am revising my budget as I have been spending anywhere between £5 and £20 more on petrol, for the last couple of months, depending where I have been going to.
    On the plus side - I got a wage rise!!:j My 1st in I don't know how long, as I am at the top of my pay-scale at work. So that will help add to the petrol increase for my little car!

    Today's spends
    £5.88 Girls things in Boots
    £7.00 A few things for work
    £5.38 snacks for the next week or so for work.
    Total - £18.26

    Enjoy the remainder of your Sunday

    Happy payday!

    Saw the dress you posted about from M&Co. It's really pretty. Why don't you buy it and wear a vest top under it? As a Lady of Big Boobage, I often end up wearing vest-tops under low-cut tops to keep things decent!

    Thanks for the tip F_F, never thought about adding a vest top. I may just try that, there is another dress I have seen that I quite like in my mum's catalogue, will see which is nicer on.

    I forgot to mention I tried on our new work uniform today, once they are ordered and in we will only be allowed navy blue trousers, so am going to go buy the £9.50 joggers from M&S as they are very comfy.
