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

    Can't believe it's Friday already, this week has flown by! Went to the cinema on Wednesday to see Lion King - my first 3D film :o Really enjoyed it, it's my favourite Disney film :)

    Not much else achieved really. I have lost a pound but have really made that much effort, still finishing off birthday cake :p Plan to finish early today and go to the gym, not much planned for the weekend but I have some birthday vouchers to spend so I feel a shopping trip coming on :D

    Got a beautiful, belated birthday bouquet yesterday so that was a lovely treat :D

    Had my nails done this morning now not sure what to do with the rest of the day - don't know whether to go to town and spend my birthday vouchers or do some baking -or even just stay in and read my book! ;)

    Have sat down this morning and written a detailed 'to do' and food list, day by day,for the week ahead. I don't feel I'm making much progress at the moment and feel a bit overwelmed by my weight issues, work stuff and having quite a few social plans! Am hoping a detailed list, with small daily tasks will help. Feel a bit run doen and out of sorts, my skin is playing up and I am sure my poor eating is contributing. Some concentration on me is needed - and I want to feel glam when the party season really kicks in!

    Pay day tomorrow, and I need to get a grip of finances and make November a productive month

    Today I have done some tidying, have some washing on and am about to go and get the stuff to make some cupcakes to take to my Mum's this afternoon :)

    Hi love,

    Have a look at this http://www.mindtools.com/pages/article/newLDR_89.htm

    It's all about knowing what you want and working out how you'll get there. Menu planning is also fab because it helps you to know what you have/what you need and keeps costs down.

    Focus on you and remember that you DESERVE to look and feel great for all your parties! X
