Morning everyone, happy Monday! A short week for me as well, hurrah.

Today I am:
- checking credit cards (have a payment to make but Amex takes ages to process things!)
- having soup for lunch - Covent Garden NOT Pret!
- writing a bit of an eBook on my current job/speciality area, which I am hoping to publish for some passive income, hurrah
- make a meal plan for the next two weeks to avoid overspending on ready meals/takeaways

Hi everyone

Gosh, hasn't life taken over recently?!!!

Things have been getting a bit hectic - I've been reading a few days on my phone when I get the chance but posting has been seriously disrupted because I've been getting up too late, being busy on lunch and not online in the evenings. Have been trying not to take my eye off the debt-free ball but it's been difficult

I hope everyone is doing fabulously well - I've been thinking about you all.

Here's my listypops of the day:
Walked to work
Put cheque in the bank
Find cheap shoes/sandals/flip flops - £20 max - Yay, £14.99
Give OH the £50 I owe him
Tidying round all night tonight - 5 hours to get the house in order!!
Yoga lesson plan Classes are going well

I probably won't be online much in April so I'll catch up with you soon when I'm 'back to normal', I guess you could say!!! Am a bit tied up with visitors, holidays, weddings - v exciting month coming up but daunting/exhausting too!!

Just flying back for a quick lunchtime update!!

KerryPolka - had a look at your blog yesterday and it's really good, was particularly impressed with your wardrobe - I often have that 'is this too casual for work' worry and think I might need to upgrade my work wardrobe completely seperate to my 'casual' wardrobe!

- HOOVER THE **** RUGS!!! (I wanted to do this yesterday, but also wanted to clean coffee table fist and then ran out of time).
- Be strong at work (well, I'll try - I make no promises)

Hi all

Jumping in again as have a week's holiday this month so want to try and avoid spending too much in the weeks around it so that I have some spends.

So, today:

• Check banking - done, not much there though
• NSD - free coffee and cake at lunchtime at the Virgin Money lounge, take coffee from home for the train
• Breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks from stores
• Meal plan for next 3 days - away Thursday night so just need Friday meal once I'm back, will make cheap pasta or something
• Check Ebay listings
