    So, spent £31.17 on some petrol on the way home, so definitely not a NSD!

    Did my first bit of tutoring today; seemed to go well :j I'm going to try and put what I earn from that in a little 'treats' pot for me and DH, and spend it on something nice, rather than have it just get lost in general spending. Well, that's the plan anyway.... ;)

    I'm so tired this evening, I really really want an early night tonight. Blooming DH and his snoring! :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall:

    Arrrgh! DH and his stupid snoring #OH MY GOODNESS JUST SHUT UP!!! :wall: :wall: :wall: It's getting worse and I'm getting more and more tired and starting to feel unwell because of lack of sleep. It's so rubbish :( I know it's not his fault, but to have continuously interrupted sleep is beginning to get to me :(

    On a positive note, I have started our treats post, and put the money I earned from tutoring in there, plus some extra pennies :) it'll probably take a while to build up, but then me and DH can go out for a nice meal or something, i.e. a treat! ;)

    Urgh, now then, where's the coffee?

    My life is so boring, or is it me that's boring? :o

    AIMS/CHALLENGES:

    These are different aims that I can continuing to focus on:
    House deposit Target 1 - £15,000.00/£15,000.00 - DONE! :j :j (05/05/12)
    House deposit Target 2 - £15,777.62/£20,000.00
    [Emergency savings - £977.49/£5,000.00]
    Weight loss - 17/25lbs

    Just updating my aims bit - I'm so close to getting £1k in the emergency fund now, so once I get paid I'll make that up to the round £1k :) I've also updated the house deposit #2- nearly at £16k which is great! :j When I next get paid that should break the £16k barrier :D Woohoo!
