    Hello, Back after a bust weekend of entertaining and some exercise thrown in aswell ! I'm not yet up to Hypno's standard but 6 miles is enough for me at the begining of my training !

    On the money front I have paid another £120.00 off the cards and updated my sig ! Looking forward to pay day now, but I have a cupboard full of food so it should be ok (only another 11 days to go!)

    Have a good day all, it's beautiful out there

  • I too am hoping for a NSD today but somehow those good intentions end up going out of the window....my friend bought a bacon sarnie this morning so that doesn't count as she paid !! :)

    My car tax and insurance are due in June and that is when I am finishing work (hopefully not) and then in September have the Car MOT too....

    How is it that money comes in one hand and quickly disappears out of the other, but at least now we know where it is all going by doing these diaries etc...it defo makes you more aware of what you are spending....

    Have a good day :)

    hi there.

    do you find if you end up with a spend day you feel like you have taken a giant step backwards? I dont mean the general living stuff - other stuff. EG. yesterday was my bosses birthday (50th) so we all went for a meal at the local pup - luckily they do 2 for £10 meals and I went searching for the pub online and whoo hooo found if I registered with them I got a free voucher for a drink so a free J2O. Luckily I managed to get a few of the girls in the office to do the same so I wouldnt feel embarrassed handing it over and lunch cost me £5. But then I thought - well I had just claimed my £5 off 'my surveys' so that probably paid for that but it could have gone in my credit card. :o Maybe I am just a little too obsessed and need to learn how to live a bit at the same time?

    have a good day xx

    LAM I am totally with you, and why is it once you take the card out of your purse to pay one bill 4 more come along at once!

    Anyway so the mortgage came out today and have updated my sig, quidco payment was in so I will pay that off the card with some of the CT saving tomorrow
    AND
    For the eagle eyed amongst you it may have become apparent that I had stopped updating my weight loss, well I hit a bit of a plateu and had been really busy (no time for exercise) Well having done 6 miles on Sunday and 5 last night I am happy to report a loss of 3Lbs:j:jso here's to keeping on.... nearly half way

    Well done on the weight loss. :T I am struggling a bit on a plateau as well but really making enough of an effort in food or exercise - too stressed and too much of a comfort eater - no excuse I know :o

    have a good one x
