thanks everyone

clippy_girl

so clippy has a bit of a hangover which is not good (but definetely not as bad as it could be!) :cool:

no ms to do all weekend which is lovely but not too great for funds. also annoyingly i had to go into work on a day i was due to work from home as we had a power cut. this meant i had to cancel £35 worth of ms i had booked at lunch o well, i have massively underspent on my food this month as done a meal plan to use nearly everything in freezer so have about £40 extra in bank account at the mo anyway.

plans today are-

go to trampy shopping centre near house rather than battle city centre. need to get euros, post parcels i had to order for a survey, get sawdust and light bulbs. then go to ale shop to buy second last present. then go to tesco express to get the few bits i need for the week. i know it would be cheaper to go to tesco or morrisons but i cant be bothered and only need 5 things anyway.

clean downstairs of house

put up xmas tree

go swimming? maybe

write cards and wrap presents tonight whilst watching happy feet not seen it before but trailer for 2nd one looks good

buy amazon gift voucher- last xmas present

plans for tomorrow-

clean en suite
change bedding
tidy room
tax return
few hours of surveys
swim and mayb even gym

trampy centre was fine and got euros for holiday

did everything on list inc swimming

so been playing with figures and before end of jan need to pay £1434. this is on euros (in od at mo but interest free), credit card and tax bill

money coming in before end of jan adds up to £1500

so if keep on track then will be sorted by end of jan to start paying mum. might also be able to get some more MS as well in jan that pay in jan (have not included regular ms in jan in above total as not paid till feb for that).

so that has cheeered me up

hello i'm back! :wave:

not much been going on but back from holiday, was really good and stayed within budget!

however i had a revelation on holiday! it was that i NEEDED some new underwear! not I WANT some but i genuinely needed it! I have been putting off buying any as i want to lose a few pounds and bust normally the first to change so thought it would be a waste of money.

i had three bras- one was a lovely lacy one i bought from the factory shop for £5. its v nice but is a cup size to small. the clasps have been a bit destroyed in the WM but was ok until 1st night of holiday when one clasp snapped off! :rotfl:

the second bra was a plain black one which i got a small bit of paint on through tshirt. clasp also a bit dodgy and day before hioliday one of the bits of wire fell out! :eek:

the third one was a plain 'white' one which has quite a lot of paint on and is a manky grey colour (but clasp is ok ). look like a total tramp and would be mortified if ran over by a bus!

also at least twice a week i am binning my plain black pants due to holes! ( i had millions of these as everytime i go on holiday i buy a new pack!)

so yesterday went to the factory shop and spent £62 :eek: on two lovely bras with two prs of pants to match each (unfortunately no bargain bin). need to go to chavsta or M&S to get a new plain black and white and some 'bed' pants!

so nice to have lovely underwear again that fits, is not manky and actually does up!

luckily mum is giving me £65 for xmas so that paid for it!

coat is looking trampy as all bobbly but will wait till next yr i think to get new one.

also my lovely leather boots have got a hole in the leather above the heel goes all the way through to the inside so need to investgate some new ones. jones and schuh have some similar for £60 so will look at those when go shops next.

inmoney saving news, tax bill paid and £450 paid of cc yest is about £630 left on there but should be enough coming in by end of jan and about £100 left over. so if buy boots then hopefully £40 to mum end of jan

not much else to report so happy xmas everyone!

It was a bra massacre of a holiday! :rotfl:

I am in need of restocking undies too, will wait until Feb or March payday- or I can give OH a helping hand for Valentines day!

Merry Christmas x

lol i did actually go to asdas. unfortunately they two packs didnt come in my size but lots of underwear was half price so got two bras with two prs of pants each. all came to £14 so all stocked up now for a while!

hmmm clippy has put on weight! not sure how much as cant remember what i weighed at beginning of dec but it is at least 8lbs :eek: off home today so need to crack on with healthy eating and 'forget' about the whole carrier bag of chocolate i got for xmas :EasterBun

so meal plan done for next 4 weeks and looks like this-

m- b= porridge, l= soup & roll, d= fish fingers, chilli mash & peas
t b= porridge, l= soup & roll, d= beef tagine & cous cous
w b= porridge, l= soup & roll, d= sausage casserole & chilli mash
t b= porridge, l= soup & roll, d= curry with nan
f b= porridge, l= soup & roll, d= beef stirfy with noodles
s b=bacon sarnie, l= beans on toast, d= pork and apple casserole, mash and veg
s b=bacon sarnie, l= pasta & pesto, d= chilli and rice

all food HM and for soup will make curried cauliflower, leek and pot and spicy lentil. snacks will be apple, banana, orange, carrot, nuts, yoghurt and SF jelly (i eat a lot and am always hungry!)

off to tesco later to buy all ingreds (so glad i dont need frozen leek so i can avoid going to chavsta!)

will also aim for gym at least 4 times per week and will actually do some cardio! will also try and go swimming as well on the other days (only live 10 min walk from gym and drive past on way from work)

will alllow myself a treat once a week!

hopefully this will result in me losing weight! not really sure what level to aim for as i am not overweight just a bit chubby so think it will take a while to come off! think maybe aim for 10s5lb which is about a stone to loose :A
