Palema’s quest for a place to call home

Happy New Year everyone!
I hope you all had a great time. I went on a night out which was good but was so tired on New Years Day fell asleep and missed about 3/4 of Mary Poppins and was in bed for 1030 and slept for 10 hours :eek: (unheard of for me I might add!)
I managed to only spend £20 on the night out which was a bonus
My babysitting earned me £60 BUT I have found a fuel calculator so have started to deduct my fuel costs from the money I am earning. I have opened another savings account for my gift fund
Back to work yesterday and its actually been OK, fairly quiet which has been nice.
I house news I am hoping to hear next week about my entry date - I can't believe I move house THIS year!!!! :eek:
No plans for the weekend apart from facing the scales at fat club :eek: and buying the new deluxe pack as it has a pedometer in it as well as the shopping and eating out guide for £19.95 :j Once I have been weighed I will then be very disgusted with myself then vow to get my lazy a** into gear and see if mooomin may refer me to the gym! I need to do something to tone up and get fit. (Not asked her yet though - will do that in the morning!! )

I'm expecting at least 7lb Beanie :eek:
I need to reign in my eating and get my head back in the game and sorted I have just eaten total rubbish all holiday. As of tomorrow I will be pointing every thing I am eating.

Hi everyone
Well a quiet few days - back to work in full swing! Its been a good week so far!

On the flat front - hoping to hear at the end of this week or early next week about my move in date!

eBay -
I have sold
1. Old Nokia phone today so £31 coming my way before fees.
2. WW Discover Plan Cookbook so far at 99p
3. Have several watchers for a WW 2012 journal I found last week that was unused.
4. 1 Watcher for a WW Discover Plan Just for me Cookbook, another 99p.

Hopefully a few more pennies coming my way. Will put this away in my present fund!

Hi everyone
Well what a couple of weeks on the weight front - put on 3lb over Christmas and New Year last week and added another 2lb to that this week :eek:
I have set myself a target of getting back to goal by the beginning of May. That is 15 weeks to lose 14lb - I think I can focus enough to do that! It also includes a 5 day stay in Poland in amongst it all as well!

Mooomin kindly sent me a referral for the gym. So that will be £18.99 a month for as long as I am a member which is not a bad price at all! I have my induction tomorrow afternoon, so then will begin "Operation get fit"

On the money front doing OK this month, considering I have another 2 weeks until pay day.
Babysitting tonight so just over £20 from that will be going into the gift fund.
No nights out planned for the rest of the month, if I do go out it will be to the gym or the cinema.

Went to see Les Miserables last night in IMAX. It was amazing! Never seen the stage show but has been on my too see list for a while and I'm now even more determined to see it

Oh and finally - still no flat news beginning to get impatient - I want to move into my flat!

Hi everyone

**Exciting news alert!!**

Number 1 piece of exciting news - I bought my bed today! It is THIS one and the mattress I have ordered to go with it is THIS one! Have put down a deposit for it as their sale ends tomorrow and having done this I secure the sale price! Also I have saved £20 delivery charge as getting it delivered to the store and my new flat is just across the road so Dad and Brother will be collecting it when the time comes!! :j:D

Number 2 piece of exciting news - I am viewing MY flat on Thursday evening! :j:D:j

That bed is beautiful - really wishing I'd made a bit more progress on the mattress fund (only at £7 just now - but only started this month!) as that mattress looks perfect too!

:j:j To seeing your flat!:j:j

Have you got a date yet?

Loved the Bed frame the minute I saw it and haven't seen anything else I liked. The mattress is posturepedic for my back as I have problems with it. Had a lie down on it in store today and it was so comfy!

No date yet BUT with them having the viewings for each flat it means that the ball is rolling and it shouldn't be too long! (I hope)
