Morning everyone

I've made £3.55 on surveys, well on the way to the weekly £10 target. Done the half hour each of admin and housework. No idea about weight lose, too soon to weigh in, but I have been good. Eating muesli as I type! Hopefully, will not get muesli in the keyboard

I'm hoping to list a couple of bits on ebay to up the income and will do a couple of hours work at the yard which will blitz the exercise!

Joining martial arts class on Saturday and Swimming on Sundays, so that's one more hour of exercise a week than I planned. Quite chuffed to have found exercise all kids can join in with. Managed to find courage get on scales today and I have gained a bit after an all you can eat week's hol, still it's not a huge amount so I'll not stress over it!

Just bought two Christmas presents thanks to a post on some reduced stationery. I know it's daft to spend when skint but I will need to buy these presents and I won't find anything half as nice for a fiver come Christmas.

Alas I've run out of lpg gas so that's going to seriously blow the budget and I need to pay the council more money, so my extension pot is back to nil before I've laid a brick. Not sure whether to update sig to show spends out of pot or to keep it as it is to show how much I've spent without using my credit card. If I can build it without touching them I'll be a very happy bunny.

1) lose 30lbs (3/week) = -1
2) Pay off £5,000 of the tax bill
3) Fleabay like crazy
4) incorporate exercise into my daily life = 30 min walking
5) focus completely on my job during the 9 hours a day I work and not do extra or stress about it outside those hours = managed 8 hours
6) Be a more loving partner = 1 day no nagging
7) Try to enter 30 comps a day and see if I can win some xmas pressies = did 40 last night

Evening all!

At last my Nationwide statement has arrived - overdraft is £39.34 which surprises me greatly - I thought it was bigger than that but, hey, I'm not knocking it! Looks like it might be gone quicker than I thought. So, I've updated my signature as I have also paid £250 to my mum. Long, long way to go on that one though!

Weigh-in on Saturday morning but I'm not hopeful of having lost anything. I've been on the weight loss project since January and haven't yet had a 'stay the same' week so I'm thinking it might be just around the corner but I'll update on Saturday.

Have a good night and well done to everyone so far. I love reading everyone else's progress.

0.5lb weight loss for me this week. Not brilliant but its a loss and its going in the right direction.

Not much to report on the money front as yet, but will be soon hopefully.

Well done everyone and keep posting so we can all encourage each other.

Have a good day everyone (even though the weather is miserable - well, here it is anyway!)

I think NewLeaf will be the one to beat Gaining inspiration from you, I've entered a few comps this morn. Not sure it was 50, maybe 15...:)

Hope you feel better soon Mandz.

I'll torture myself on Monday by weighing myself.

Have built an ebay pile. Yet to find motivation to list.
