    I love a Friday off :j Had my nails done yesterday and treated myself to some new skincare. I really need to start looking after my skin better, it's not looking too good!

    I bought a Groupon offer for 5 Powerplate sessions for £9 and went for the first time yesterday. I think I could get to like it but will use the other sessions before I commit to anything. Went for a sunbed too - time to up the glam methinks, looking a bit washed out. Bought new Clinique make up today too :)

    Ordered a friends birthday pressie using Amazon vouchers so another free pressie. Think this is going to be a tight month!

    Cancelled my gym membership and my vodafone dongle so should be £50ish per month better off from next month. My aim over the next few months is just not to increase my debts - although my debts are slowly coming down I am using my credit card each month for day to day expenses and I think this is because my actual budget it too tight! And I still want to have a life :p

    No weightloss this week but cake was eaten midweek :o so not really surprised! Didn't gain anything though, more effort needed nect week!

    Very snowy here now so a night in with my Kindle is in order :D

    Went for another power plate session last night, and a snbed. Have been sticking to my skincare routine and eating well. Time for a bit of looking after myself. I have realised that just a pound a week weightloss would have me well on my way to my goal wieght my the Summer so my thinking is slow and steady - the plan for the rest of Feb is no eating between meals. I also plan to keep up the power plate so an hoping for some toning too

    Should be going for after work drinks tonight so am looking forward to that. Although money is tight this month I want to do some social stuff - feeling a bit down/lonely at the moment :(

    Got £70 in expenses today so have sent that directly to my credit card - slow and steady again! :)

    Trying to be positive but it's a struggle at the moment :( Things at work are not happening in the way I had hoped so am feeling down about that - have a real dilema about looking for something else or put up and shut up! I actually like my job and there's not mcuh else about in my field but the lack of progress, after 4 years is really getting to me! :mad:

    Money wise this month is shaping up to be really tight but I am determined not to turn down social things. Am out for pub food tonight after work for a girl who is going on maternity leave :)

    Need to find some motivation on the diet/exercise front from somewhere! I have put back on the 5lbs I's lost since Christmas so am back where I started :o. Really need to find some energy from somewhere, and get on track with other stuff as I'm not feeling at all glamourous at the moment! I think the job situation has knocked me and I've been comfort eating and letting myself go!

    Have just updated my total debt after this months' payments - still coming down but very slowly. I've not maede any extra payments this month - it's been an expensive month one way and another! Finally cancelled my gym membership though so an extra £45 per month from next month

    I've lost 5lbs this week :j Am really pleased with that, especially as I've had a couple of social things this week! Now I need to keep going and not keep yo-yoing which is my usual pattern :o

    Work week has been OK - trying to adopt a 'put up and shut up' attitude for the time being! Certainly less stressful, but I need to think about whether it makes sense long term? The job market is still not that good but I don't think there will be any pay rises again this year so progess is very slow on the debt front!

    Need to return a top to House of Fraser so I am going for a look around town! I haven't actaully spent any real money on clothes so far this year - I've only used vouchers and Christmas money but I feel that may change today!
