2012 -The Year of the Deer

  • Busy weekend! Its amazing how the days get away from you.

    Managed to pick up a £10 mystery shop on Sunday which was nice and simple so thats a bit extra on to this months totals.

    Its been rather quiet on the money making front and a bit spendy his month. I have been trying to reign it in and its ok but lots of people i spent little time with over xmas now all want to do things.Still i keep steering them towards the offers and deals so hopefully it will all pan out for me :).

    Got asked out this evening by a french guy on my way back from Tescos. Now hats off to him for being confident and going for what he wanted but i was a little taken aback. I have no idea where he saw me but he actually started talking to me when i was cycling home (he was also on a bike) and said he liked my face and did i want to meet him for coffee. Failing to get a date he asked for my number so we could be friends (all this whilst cycling). Now this may be a bit british but being followed down dark roads by a guy trying to ask you out is a bit unsettling. I can only assume he saw me at tescos bike racks (in my sweaty gym kit and wearing my bike helmet).

    I kind of wonder if i should have met him for coffee but i have to know someone before i find them attractive and i'm kind of nervy about making them getting the message if i'm not interested.

    Still very nice to be asked :)

    So he was following you and you were cycling, and he said he like your face.

    I suppose it could be plausible... ;)

    That gym must be toning your face too. :cool:

  • Seriously, what is up with our new temp? she won't leave me alone i don't think i got a bit of work done today its like babysitting an adult.

    How do i say hey lady if i have to sit and go over every step of everything with you then its not faster to have you here cause its taking double the time to do the job.

    Plus you are not my temp you are my coworkers temp who conveniently has found work to do in the basement so he does not have to train you. You are very nice by the way but far too time consuming.

    So i was going to drop the cinema and spend more time in the gym this eve but i'm getting a bit concerned that i have gym addiction. Literally work is so pants that i think i need the endorphin fix. Film was good though, empire you suck as you only gave it 2 stars :p

    No cash made today and i will have to drop a ms job, i emailed for help and rang but they are not talking to me about the requirements so its gotta go. Definite tank on the cash making this month might be £25 if i'm lucky as opposed to £157 last month.

    I have completed my first full month on my new salary starting from a +'ve balance and i reckon i have about £400 over before i get paid on Friday so up on saving down on cash making.

    I need to get it together! ;)

  • Happy evening :j

    So i have gotten very into reading this blog by Jenna Marbles and i keep thinking that i should try to eat more vegan food.

    Since i had such a bad time with my digestive system i have been really careful. I overhauled my diet, very little coffee and tea, more herbal teas, vegetables, rye bread, wholewheat everything and its made some real difference and i feel a lot better and suffer far less.

    Not sure how easy it would be to maintain but i thought i could try to incorporate 2 vegan days a week into my routine. Its really interesting though i keep eating stuff i have never heard of before e.g coconut oil

    ZTD - loving it, nothing like some Thursday humour :rotfl:

    Get paid tomorrow so that means a transfer of about £250 into my savings £50 more than i thought i would be able to save and its been a spendy month :D totally made up

    You want to be careful about eating vegans. They can give you the squits...

    Coconut oil is very nice. Cheapest place I ever found was in Germany, but it has been a long time since I've bought any.

    Oil is a bit of a misnomer. It's only oil when it is hot. i.e. hot sunny day or hotter.

  • £258.34 transfered to savings :D

    My parents are going away in the next few days so my dad brought me £11.50 worth of Tescos vouchers to use as they will expire whilst they are away :) Yay for me 1/2 price shopping.

    So i had my personal training appointment yesterday and to give him credit where its due they guy was very good and had a comprehensive plan. So i have actually signed up for some personal training.

    I have a clear end goal in sight and then i will quit but i'm hoping to lose the last stone of weight and be fit enough to run the spartan race in July. I was going to have a 30th B'day party but instead i'm spending the cash i would have spent hiring somewhere i'm putting it into looking after myself and i will just invite everyone to the pub instead.

    I always find more people turn up when i have casual events than when i plan big parties.

  • Having one of those inner turmoil days where i keep thinking of all the things i should not spend money on :think:

    This is crazy as i have been doing really well but having decided to commit x amount of money to personal training my brain is having a mini melt down.

    Its weird how your mind adapts, seriously need to get more balanced, is money saving an addictive substance sometimes i wonder if i have a problem lol
