c) - watch all 7 episodes of The Paradise which are taking up room on sky+ - had a very lazy day in yesterday with DDs and watched 2.5 episodes
!

Second job payday today - £65 transferred to log burner fund - up to £530 now. There will also hopefully be enough towards other things needed for lounge renovation. Windows will cost £2000 for front of house, MIL gave us a very genorous gift for Christmas towards this.

Mum has taken DD1 shopping for new school uniform using M&$ vouchers earned when upgrading sky. May have to split the OP from them over 2 months to avoid leaving me short. Will see how much she's spent later.

Just one day in work this week and I have my little helper with me!

You have nothing to feel blue about - those are great achievements!

Good luck with 2013...

Thanks MCI - think it's just January Blues - and things keep going wrong with the house just when we think we're sorted!

First OP of 2013 - £10 from Hal1£ax shuffle/reward.
£5.25 claimed via Paypal from WH$m1th surveys. Opd as payments from paypal now seem to be instant!

It's great, isn't it? There was a period over the Christmas holidays when I was able to withdraw money every day or so, very convenient to have it instantly

Okay here goes - 11st 6lb - more than I hoped but less than I thought if that makes sense?

I've not been very good at lasting very long on previous diets - so just hoping to eat a bit healthier and exercise more. And think of our cruise in August!!

Standard mortgage payment made today and offset interest added - £279.35, annoying £16 off knocking another month off. Still on target to knock 2 months off though by end of Jan making a year off in 9 months.

Planning a visit to gym tonight and cleared out 3 drawers in sideboard over weekend, and got rid of loads of paperwork and clutter. Meeting these small targets will hopefully make me feel more positive.

I think small targets are the way to go.

I thnk we sometimes put too much pressure on ourselves - so this year I'm going to try the one thing at a time route.
