GTD's DFW Diary - Getting Closer to 40...

GettingThingsDone

Hi hypno - didn't see you there!

Beijing, yes we'll be going if we can get tickets and somewhere to stay. Bit tricky at the moment, but we're working on it. Also a reason for keeping up the weight-loss - just in case I appear on TV

Managed to lose 2lb this week, so eventually that's 2 stones gone after 173 days (not a fantastic average rate, but it's staying off and I'm not feeling particularly hungry).

Thanks to the bingo, I've enough 'spare' money to do some matched betting now (I'll catch up with you sometime KC!).

I must keep posting, I must keep posting...

Quick update....

Beijing - don't want to say too much at the moment, but it looks like it IS going to happen.

Cash is running low at the moment, and the gas, electricity and council tax bills have all come in all at once, so it's back to juggling time. BT bill will be in soon too.

Garage clear-up going well - a couple of trips to the tip has exposed a couple of ebay-able things

Weight is still going down (slowly, but that was the plan) - just off to weigh myself now.

Yay!!! It's done! Not the debt - the ring-thing! Wahoo!!!

Gas bill to pay, Electricity bill to pay, Water bill to pay and council tax to pay...

Yikes!

But on the other hand lost 2lbs (31lbs down in total) this week

Right, my 0% card runs out at the start of June, so I need to either pay it off or move the balance elsewhere. I was supposed to be putting £400 away each month this year, but urm haven't. I think that may be the danger of 0%. Well I was putting some away, but that's been spent on aforementioned ring.

Lots to do - so close to 'the end' now...

Hi Pania - good here thanks - sounds like things are going well for you too.

I was managing to put some away (sort of) but it has gone on an engagement ring (she said yes ) and cheap flights to Beijing - so lavish!! Never could have done it without MSE...

Yay! Hi Hypno - thank you very much. You missed me on TV for a change.

Pania - £4543.28 outstanding at 0% - I still can't believe I've got a 0% card
