Keeping up appearances.......

HappyNow

Update for yesterday. I appear to have missed Thursday but have no memory of what happened so I will ignore that....

• Healthy eating Not too bad but I did have my weekly Thorntons ice-cream yesterday (two scoops, vanilla and chocolate). Still free via the Barclays offer, I will almost be pleased when it ends in September. Almost!
• Money Saving Not done anything special but not wasted anything either.
• Freezer emptying I'm having to start re-filling the top drawers because we've run out of most useful things, but I am still chugging along. I'm also clearing each drawer of debris as I empty it - there's always loose chips/peas/bits of random cardboard there, so it looks generally nicer too.
• Alcohol One glass of wine last night, but it was Friday so that's allowed
• Sleep Early to bed but I was up and walking the dog at 5:30, which was a shame as it's Saturday. She was mighty surprised

Why not give yourself the rest of August off to rest so you're all fired up for Super September? I hear it's going to be super! Thanks for the cheering though, nice pompoms

Rah rah! Lost my pompoms, though. Hopeless.

Good call, Happy. See you in September but I will be keeping on eye on you in the meantime, so NO SLACKING, or I'll be disappointed in you. Wanders off muttering about ice cream and pizza and full moisturizer bottles ...

*sighs heavily and pulls Dolphin aside for a quiet word* You spent £4.99 on moisturiser! It's not going to work sat in the bottle, is it?:D

It's not, oh, how disappointing!


Seriously, it IS amazing how something so technically easy can be so difficult to do. Do you have something 'treaty' you do every night? Watching Corrie? Last cup of tea before bed? Maybe you could tell yourself that your treat has to wait until you've moisturised, to give yourself the incentive to get it done?

Nothing particularly 'treaty' but I am going to make an extra effort and make sure that I do it every day between now and the end of the month.

Update for yesterday...

1) A slice of chocolate roulade with cream.
2) Meal plan for the week done. Better start on next weeks and get my shopping ordered for tomorrow.
3) No spends on other people.
4) Not done.

Update for yesterday...

1) Half a slice of banana loaf.
2) Haven't done a meal plan yet but the shopping is coming shortly so I'll have to do one around what I've ordered and what is in the fridge & freezer.
3) No spends on other people.
4) Face & neck moisturised.

*waves wistfully after the departing Honey, who is off to spend the rest of August eating unwisely and playing Mahjong Titans until all hours and swearing a lot*

High five!

Not a great weekend target-wise:

• Healthy eating I have had five x F & V both days. I have also had 2 x 100g bags of black and white mints and a 200g bar of Cadburys Daim
• Money Saving No silly spending, but I did have to lend Miss H £40 to buy some teacher-style clothes ready for 2nd September. She will give it back when she gets her bursary, so she says!
• Freezer clearance Ongoing but getting boring now.
• Alcohol I had to drive last night, so no alcohol. One glass tonight which is fine.
• Sleep I had a really scary dream last night in which I was a spy, being chased by three rival spies all night. It involved climbing a dam where the sides kept moving, and running through a crowd a little bit slower than the people who were chasing me! Weird - I never have bad dreams! Unsurprisingly I'm tired now

  Have you got to the weird concoction stage yet? I seem to remember the last time we emptied the freezer (I think we were moving house) OH had breaded fish with leftover chilli .

  Very weird!
  
  

I have to put something here.
