small steps and a fresh start......my journey starts here

I'm sure you know that its not a good idea to weigh yourself everyday for that exact reason! I now weigh monthly at Boots and find it much better. I may increase it to every 2 weeks as I need to keep a closer eye on my weight just now.

well i've just finished a 4 hour cooking stint !!!

choc chip cookies - most of them i have frozen
quadruple chocolate cake to take into work for colleagues
chocolate butterfly buns - mainly for my brother! otherwise he eats everything we have! and cheaper than buying :-)

big batch of chilli - some for tonight and some frozen
bolognaise sauce - frozen in meal sizes
chilli bazil and tomatoe soup - some for the week and rest frozen

shattered now!!

i had most of the ingredients i needed so cost very little.

going to relax this evening ready for day 2 at work,

ive joined payment a day challenge - it looks really good.

Thanks Bonnington:)
I hope it does help others, everything is worth it in the end. Just getting ready for tomorrow now! Day 2 !

there's lots of good challenges in various places on these boards, it's not all serious and sometimes the challenge has an indirect effect on your debt that you don't quite see straight away. Think i've just seen you on the No toiletries in March thread which is a good example of that.

Just spent 2 hours wrapping up ebay parcels !!!!! (with a little help from one of my cats!)

All ready to post tomorrow after work - worth it though!!

Joined the 'no toiletries in March' challenge - I am awful for buying toiletries and make up when i see a bargain so fingers crossed this helps! Just need to list everything i have now - hmm.......may take a while!! Just need shampoo and conditioner then all sorted.

Just remembered I need to put the bins out - im all comfy in my dressing gown and now need to go out in the rain !!!:mad:

Hi ya :wave:

I wish you well on your journey to being debt free. Glad to see that you have been getting loads of lovely messages. I love the support that MSE gives.

Another turning 30 here, my birthday is next week. Have tried to make my peace with it and move on.



Nah, just joking I'll be fine.

I agree with you about weighing yourself just once a week. You'll get there.

soooo jealous about your cats. We ALWAYS had cats when I was young. One day . . .

Food sounds yummy.

Have subscribed, look forward to reading your progress.
