New and scared but so determined

Afternoon missus. Saw from the NSD thread that you're all lurgied up *makes sign of the cross, and shuffles a little away* hope you feel better soon!

Great work at the gym! Hope the lurgy doesn't last.

Good Morning

Yes, I am full of the lurgy (but getting better) and it is making me a tad grumpy and lethargic It's only the cold though so I am pulling myself together and giving myself a shake and heading off to the gym shortly :eek:

I have done myself another spreadsheet (ohhhhhh I love spreadsheets nearly as much as I love lists) for my new healthy living plan with a page for my weight and measurements etc and a page for my progress at the gym and another page to show whether I am getting my money's worth from the membership. I am hoping it will keep me motivated to keep it up - especially the last page :eek:
I have also updated my money spreadsheet up until the middle of November and I am full of positivity that by then the Carp 1 card will be paid off as well as two other debts I have Wouldn't it be lovely to reach the end of 2012 with a total of 5 debts gone :j Here's hoping that everything goes to plan but life does have a habit of getting in the way :mad: Anyway, because I am having a positive day I have decided that there is no point worrying too much about it and what will be, will be.

*breaks into song a la Doris Day* "Que sera sera"

As you can probably tell my mood swing pendulum has swung to the opposite direction from where it was the other day

I have started again with my little pursey type plan and £20 a week budget and because I had such a low spend day yesterday and just spent the dross in my purse, I have managed to put £15 away into my 'left overs purse' I am hoping that I don't spend any of my £5 weekly spend challenge money so that next Saturday I don't have to take anything out of my bank - wouldn't that be lovely :T Nothing much planned for this week so fingers crossed.

I have also bought some birthday presents of ebay using my paypal money and listed some books for sale but I need to get my bum in gear and put some other bits on - still something is better than nothing

Such a positive mood today, I wonder what I'll feel like after the gym :eek:

Knackered?

Lovely to see you all twinkly this morning...bit early for me though, so I'll swing by later when I can string more than a few words together! Happy gym-going.

you'll feel even more positive and pleased with yourself for making use of the money you've invested in yourself. and probably more than a little knackered.

And second prize to LT - although the positive and pleased with myself bit is taking a while to kick in I'll just stop sweating, panting and palpitating first

Oh what a great catch up. You're giving me some motivation to get myself back into gear and exercising again. I feel all wobbly and unfit! It's not a great look.

Well done on your budget keeping too! Sounds like all is going pretty much ok for you, other than the lurgy, of course.

Good Morning

I still have my positive hat on today and although the lurgy is not away completely it is disappearing :j

Gym yesterday, did eventually, make me feel much better about myself as I pushed myself a little further than I had the last time and ran a little further/did a little more. Only a little bit - but it's unrealistic for me to expect to do 5k again overnight. :eek: I won't be able to get back again now until Thursday night as I have something happening most nights this week and I am strangely dissappointed.

PADed a little over to the carp 1 card this morning and I am quite pleased with my progress so far. I am, at last, seeing a little bit of a difference between the amount I used to owe and the amount still to pay :T
I also managed to hit my NSD target yesterday and have increased it, so I shall give myself another :T

In a fit of madness/boredom/obsession yesterday I did some spreadsheets for my debts up until the end of 2014 :eek: It's going to take me until then to get rid of the next three debts and probably the whole of 2013 to get rid of the one I want to tackle next :eek: It was quite an interesting project and, although it doesn't sound it, quite motivating I can see that every penny I pay towards my debt today will make a huge difference in the coming years - just read that back and I sound like a complete nerd

So, lets hope this good mood hangs around for a while and I spend zero cach today :T Have a great Monday x x
