    Good morning All!

    HaPpY dAyS! Q.co money reached my account this morning, so £77.29 has been distributed accordingly and my signature updated to the new pending balance! (at least all of the balance is now mine after paying the membership!:D)

    Oh and after bleating on yesterday about the council tax for the coming year - got home last night to find it sat on the door mat. Exactly the same as last year!!! Not too bad I 'spose! Not denying a reduction wouldn't have been nice, but at least I don't have to tweak my house account budget! ;)

    Went to the gym last night - first time I have set foot in a gym in about 10 years! It was ok - it just bores-me-to-tears! Only thing that got me through and will continue to get me through when I go again (which I will do - I am not stubborn for nothing!) is that you can see the number of calories you are supposed to have burned. Off to circuits tonight - much better as shorter, harder hitting intervals!!

    Right, work calls!

  • Woo hoo money in and an excuse to play with your spread sheet you must be in nerd heaven :D

    I'm still waiting for my council tax notification :whistle:

    I went to yoga last night! Jeez some bendy people there.... really enjoyed it though, also swam 1/2 mile Monday :p, I was going to try and nip to the gym tonight before the pub quiz but decided I'll end up killing myself and need to pace myself ;)

    Good pay day everyone! Oh, or is it only payday for me today? ;)

    Yep, that time of the week has come round again! :j

    So here's my update......
    • Money behaving itself nicely; money gone to savings account and another £100 to OH - signature updated accordingly.
    • Still need to sort out Virgin - maybe a task for the weekend?
    • Off work tomorrow - although they have just asked if I can work. Although it is tempting for some extra pennies, I have worked the last 5 Saturdays, meaing I have worked 5 x 6day weeks. Need a break!
    • Might drag my a*se out of bed at a reasonable time tomorrow and go to the gym - this means that I need to sort my mp3 player out this evening!
    • Out tomorrow afternoon to watch the Rugby and then straight on to the chinese restaurant for friends birthday meal! YUMMY!!!
    • Still got the census form to fill in - yawn!
    • Comic Relief to watch tonight once I have done some housework.
    • Need to start getting decorating bits together for the end of April - colour board already up in bedroom - OH kinda screwed his nose up, but as he is not helping, he doesn't get a say!! :D
    That's about it for now I think - would be nice to get another payout from Q.co - but the next one will be early April so I just need to be patient! OOOOHHHHHH!!! April is a 5 payday month!! HAPPY DAYS!!!!

    Right, onwards and upwards - toodles!

    Good morning and good Monday everyone!!

    Well, today the sun is shining, the sky is blue and I am in a rather good mood! :j

    LT - a years free council tax would be lovely! Oooh, I am just imagining what I could do with the £1380 that I am going to pay them this year! ;)

    It's the start of another week, and another countdown to payday! I was thinking about this the other day - a few years a go I would count down to the weekend, to go out drinking and dancing..... nowadays I look forward to going to the gym / classes on a Tuesday and Wednesday and then Friday as it's payday! I think I would be in meltdown if I had to wait a month in between!!

    Logged onto Q.co this morning and there is £31.92 waiting to be paid to me - £10 of this is my brothers as it was cashback on mums birthday present, so that leaves me with £21.92. Need to work out how much of it is mine and what needs to go to the house account! :o


    So? Weekend review.....
    • Off work on Sat so was at the gym by 9am.
    • Went shopping with OH as we had a day without DSS. Had a lovely mooch in the sunshine, coffee and then lunch!
    • A top I had been covetting since Decembe finally turned up in the DottyPeas sale, and the only one left was my size! So that was £20; reduced from £32 though! :D
    • Caught the first part of the (dismal) Rugby at home, before heading to the pub to watch the rest and then out for dinner for friends birthday! Yummy chinese!
    • Sunday was a slowish start (thank you white wine!) and then off to a nearby shopping outlet to get OH new work shoes.... oh, and we came away with a laptop too! :eek: Well, OH did as he wanted it - so he is paying for it!
    • Poker last night and then here we are again today!!
    Spreadsheet has been updated this morning to account for extra spends - still looking ok.

    Have decided that I am going to join the local sports centre where I go to the gym / classes etc! I have never bothered as I do AA and for some reason they didn't include it in the membership - but as from this week they do! Membership is £30 a month and I have calculated that by doing alternate weeks of AA & circuits and gym & circuits I am paying out £32.10... and that is without extra gym sessions on a Sat morning or swimming with OH and DSS in the summer. Need to add that into my spreadsheet when I get it organised!


    Hope everyone had a good weekend and the sun is shining again today where you are! ?

    It is all mine because it came from MY purchases - OH's and my mum's birthday pressies!! :D If it had come from things like changing elec & gas suppliers it would go into the house account!

    Of course I am hoping to see you! :D To make it easy for you to identify me (so that I am not an unidentified stalker) I will be the one wearing pink and white trainers! :p (it has nothing to do with financial sense at all - you have seen through my guise!)
