I rationalized that my new shoes shouldn't be punished just because I can't budget

Have pinched this off something at work - but I love it!

Thinking Differently
Acting Postively

Ok, so it's a new month, and 3 weeks to hols :j Money is going to be really tight this month but I have drawn out cash and will see how I go just using that. In reality, it's only a 3 week month as I am away for the last week (which is already budgeted separately). Need to focus on diet and exercise, starting SlimFast today and will find a way to exercise I am also going to make an appointment to speak to HR and see if i have any options workwise

lionheartedgirl

sounds like a great start to the month.

you have helped kick me into action too on the exercise front, I have let things slide and need to get back into it as I always feel better when I do lots.

Just trying to decide whether I will go back to Shred again or keep going with Davina...or do both and alternate.

good luck and great step on exploring your work options!

Stuck to the diet but have ended up with a headache! :mad: Went for a sunbed on the way home too

Just ordered my car tax online - cleaned out my car account but it's fab to have it saved for - some MSE stuff is sinking in!

Second day sticking to the diet - but have a headache again

I have a free weekend - and I'm determined not to waste it! I have realised that I waste loads of time, on the internet, watching carp TV etc and that's why nothing gets done! Not decided whether it's going to be jobs or fun or a combination of the two, but certainly not wasted!

I've decided that I would like a Kindle and I have £131 worth of Amazon vouchers with my Nectar points so well on the way to £152 I need - little target to aim for

Seconded although ...

I would suggest that you go & check out the kindle in real life before you buy. I had a look at one in pc world recently & was very surprised at how small the screen was & therefore how few words appear as opposed to having 2 pages of a book to read before flicking over to the next 2.

I read quickly so it would drive me mad, Just personal preference though

I love the idea of using the Amazon vouchers for a Kindle. I thought about that but I'm not sure I want one.

Today I have

• cleaned and tidied the kitchen and living room
• done 2 loads of washing
• done an exercise DVD
• baked a batch of cup cakes
• stuck to my diet (apart from some cake mixture )
• had my nails done

Am really chuffed with myself for not wasting the day for a change. I got up at 8am instead of lying in bed all morning so have got loads done!

Am doing an old Weightwatchers/Claire Sweeney DVD which is broken down into 5 minute routines, and you have to do 30 per week (I have 4 credits so far this week)

Have been and had a set of acrylic nails - I wasn't getting on with gel and was bored with coloured nails so have gone back to acrylic. Went to my usual girl but they were on offer @ £20 so am chuffed with that

No non-essential spending and all spending in cash so a good day all round

Have stuck to my diet but I am feeling really bloated Don't think I will have lost much/anything when I weigh in on Wednesday if I still feel like this. No headache today though!

Going to bed soon with my book, and planning for another productive day tomorrow

Well done on such a productive day
