    Morning all,

    I'm trying to be positive this week but feeling a bit demotivated already as I came back to work today to see an absolute mountain of work...looks as though no one really bothered to cover my workload they just continued with their own, so much for being a team! We usually work to keep each other on a similar level, or at least not leave me with over a weeks worth....(we were behind anyway due to sickness etc).

    Mammoth list today:-
    • [STRIKE]Food brought in from home[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]Make use of free coffee/water at work[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]Heating off during working day[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]Check cashback[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]Check paypal[/STRIKE] £15.02 from cashback withdrawn :j
    • [STRIKE]Check online banking[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]Log calories on free app[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]Log expenditure on free app[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]Return items to Next[/STRIKE]
    • Call Orange to query new contract price...their paperwork does not match up with what they told me!
    • [STRIKE]Only take £10 out at lunchtime to pay in to our syndicate at work (leaves me with £6 change)[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]Try to find a nice but cheap anniversary card[/STRIKE] Not exactly cheap at £2.80 but it says exactly what I want to say!
    • Source a few more bits for my friend's wedding hamper, need an actual hamper for a start! Lol
    • Do not buy anything else! - Failed here as I remembered I needed to get washing up liquid soon & since it was on offer in Wilkos I figured I should get it
    • [STRIKE]Try to stay positive & work hard today to catch up[/STRIKE] Waaaaaay too much to do still :(
    • [STRIKE]Check for surveys[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]Enter comps[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]Dinner from meal plan[/STRIKE]
    • Try hard at tkd tonight - Didn't end up going again as was peeing around getting this car advert sorted & a letter to OH's bank...
    • [STRIKE]Get OH to place ad for car[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]Written letter to OH's bank to amend credit report as they should have done this 9 months ago[/STRIKE] :eek:
    • Hang washing up
    • Put away washing before it gets dirty again
    • [STRIKE]Pay Next account - the amount that won't be creditted[/STRIKE]
    Have a great, moneysaving day everyone x

    Oh I forgot to add - Littlekel if you hadn't have gone to badminton 3 times then you would have gained weight, so don't be too hard on yourself you have done really well, just stay motivated!

    • Check banking Eeek it's gonna be very tight until payday!!
    • Tidy / hoover Done
    • Sort out car insurance which is due in the next few weeks - may need to pay for it monthly for the first time in 7 years :p!!! Hoping it's not going to cost loads extra **fingers crossed** Will sort tomorrow
    • Go shopping for new glasses with my sis (used to work for a frames supplier so I have contacts :cool:) Because of the 'lack' of money situation will have to wait a few weeks!!
    • LSD need to purchase a few bits, milk/bread etc. Done
    • All food from stores Done, left over chilli for tea yummy - sis treated me to a Maccy D's for lunch!!!
    • Relaxing night in front of the telly 2nite watching 'One born every minute' & 'Silent Witness'.

    Well that's it for me, catch you laters :wave:

  • I know how you feel - no WL for me either this week although I do only have myself to blame - bit of a pig out over last few days so I have to do major gym work and calorie counting this week so it doesnt go up!
    • check emails at work to see if CAB responded
    • LSD (need a couple of grocery items)
    • walk at lunch time for some fresh (and possibly very wet air)
    • pluck eyebrows myself - looks like a jungle at the mo!
    • going to have an early night tonight - v tired
    • charge mobile on work comp whilst working away
    not thought of much else at the moment - work mate off today so its going to be a busy one.
