Right so far on today's to do list:
[STRIKE]Have a general tidy up
[/STRIKE]Iron selection of work clothes for the week
Make packed lunch for tomorrow
Cook pasta bake for tonight
take some pictures for ebay
[STRIKE]clean out my car
[/STRIKE]:rotfl:I really need to try harder with this.
I have been into town though and have purchased pudding
Although a £2 for 6 cakes I didn't think it was that bad. I will take 3 tonight and the other 3 when I cook next, so really only £2 for a months worth of pudding :cool: Oh and some garlic bread, but again at £1 for 2 I'm ok with that.
I have dinner with my friend every week and we take it in turns to cook, so as long as I do another Italian type dish next time I'm happy with todays spends.Total at 9th Feb 12 - £17,500 :eek: Now - £6,851.05Loan - £6022.05, [STRIKE]Card 1 - £3293.85,[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]Card 2 - £2287.04[/STRIKE], Sofa - £825.00Wedding Pot - £0.00

The list is two items shorter - looks like progress to me.
It’s not worth doing something unless someone, somewhere, would much rather you weren’t doing it.

Hmm still the ebay pics... but I am now in bed with a hot water bottle (I'm freezing) and thinking about going to bed. First day back at work tomorrow

First day back done

I have a horrible sinus infection, which doesn't seem to want to go which means I will have to resort to antibiotics from the Dr
. I sneezed today at work and though I'd ruptured something :rotfl: but one side of my nose is actually a little swollen :eek:.
Today was NOT a NSD
, it was the dredded collection at work :mad: although this one was for a friend who is about to go off on mat leave so I didn't mind it to much, but I put in £5 (I know I should have done less, but I actually work closely with her and someone was standing over me :mad:) I feel a little bit bad as I would have normally but more in, but my need is greater.
Oooo and I have possible interest in the man front
, there is a chap in our IT department I have been chatting to on fb, who made a comment about going to the cinema together. Nothing firm, but there is interest
. Will keep you all posted.
Haven't purchased any food today, took my own lunch (roast gamon salad) which was lovely, I have had a few left over chocolates, but I think everything in moderation. I know what I'm like I will go all guns blazing and then get bored in a week, so this feels good to me. Aiming to be a little bit better every day :A
Plan for tomorrow is more of the same, although it will be a NSD, possibly heading back to the hosptial to see my cousin, but not 100% sure yet. May depend on the weather it was SO windy here today. There is tomato and bean soup on the menu for lunch which will be nice, probably take a bread roll too.Total at 9th Feb 12 - £17,500 :eek: Now - £6,851.05Loan - £6022.05, [STRIKE]Card 1 - £3293.85,[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]Card 2 - £2287.04[/STRIKE], Sofa - £825.00Wedding Pot - £0.00

On the money front, made my loan and cc payment for this month. so have updated the figures to the correct amount. I've never been very good with working out the whole interest thing, but they are all correct now

Hoping to be able to make some small overpayments on the cc this month, but not sure what that will be at the moment, possibly very small :rotfl:
I've decided to leave ebay pictures until Satuday, so I can spend sunday afternoon listing, that and I know the chances of me actually doing it one evening is really slim

Nope I did not
I know I'm at least 2 different characters in 2 series of books, but not a road.

Evening

NSD today, which I am very pleased with, I now have antiboitics for my sinus which means I need to pay out of a pescription tomorrow
but I really do need them, I've had enough of this.
Foodwise, not been so good though
I have very little appetite (thanks sinus gunk) but I really could eat for England. A smallish piece of cake, finsihed off the cornish ice-cream and a couple of chocolate coins thoughout the day :rotfl: I know it could be worse, but so much for dieting... cutting back a tiny bit would be more like it. Still I did weigh myself this evening and I weigh the same as I did Sunday morning, which suggests I might have lost something 
Tomorrow I am planning more of the same, I have finally written down the code to get 10% off the RAC (company discount) I just need to call them now :cool:
Off out for dinner with some friends on the 17th, going to have a hunt around for some vouchers or something to see if we can get any money off, other than here, does anyone know a good website for vouchers? Ideally for a well know Mexican chain

Hi
Didn't post yesterday was being far to lazy
. Nothing to report, I have my antibiotic's :T so had a spend day, but worth it if I feel better.
Still haven't made it back to the hosptial, Mum's taken pity as I wasn't feeling well, off there tomorrow though.
4/4 packed lunches taken to work
and I have enjoyed all of them. Diet hasn't been so good though, there is still chocolate etc in the house, so I'm just being better, not expecting to loose much if anything though :rotfl: It'll be ok when it's all gone, I just can't throw it away or feed it to my work colleagues... it's MINE!!! 
I'm going to do the left over change money on sunday as I may need parking money tomorrow. But as I haven't spent much I can't imagine there will be that much.
Oh and I found some vouchers for said mexican so will be having a cheaper night out :money:Total at 9th Feb 12 - £17,500 :eek: Now - £6,851.05Loan - £6022.05, [STRIKE]Card 1 - £3293.85,[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]Card 2 - £2287.04[/STRIKE], Sofa - £825.00Wedding Pot - £0.00

k, I need a right word with myself...
Just talking to possible interested IT chap... talking about nice county pubs, log fires the whole thing, and the problem of the fact you always need to drive to them....
He says it would be nice to go for a beer or three or some vodka (my fave drink)
I say that would be lovely
He says indeed...
I say NOTHING..... :mad:
I mean come on, opening or what!!!Total at 9th Feb 12 - £17,500 :eek: Now - £6,851.05Loan - £6022.05, [STRIKE]Card 1 - £3293.85,[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]Card 2 - £2287.04[/STRIKE], Sofa - £825.00Wedding Pot - £0.00
