Keep posting and keep shopping - PLEASE!! (In a very MSE way of course!!).

Ah thanks Lula. Actually, I don't think there is anything that could keep me from shopping entirely

The Fortunate Cat is doing her 'poor me' act at the moment. When I open the kitchen door in the morning she rushes up, chirruping softly and spends the next 20 minutes telling me how lonely she's been in the night. It's very cute but I'm staying strong :rotfl:

Stay strong, a happy !!!!! is nice (!!!), but a good nights sleep is better......

The sun was shining yesterday morning - oh how I've missed it. It put a spring in my step and I hurried off to Step class feeling all motivated and happy. 10 minutes into the class, however, I remembered that a weekend of partying isn't conducive to aerobic exercise! I'm surprised I managed to get through the hour.

My MS ways have now returned:

• went to Step Class
• a cupboard lunch
• a hours admin work
• raided Mr F's change dish - 40p for Mr Marmite
• back on track with the housework
• Sweet Chilli Coley with Stir Fried Veg and Noodles from the meal plan for supper. It's supposed to be Sweet Chilli Cod but the Coley was cheaper :A
• a little comping whilst Mr F was in control of the remote
• an NSD :j

Today looks set to be a sensible day too. Balance is restored.

Have a good day all

I was right - it is turning out to be a sensible day.

• raided Mr F's change dish again - 21p for Mr Marmite
• admin work this morning - a couple more hours and I'm up to about £90 for this month's claim already
• a cupboard lunch
• another room clean and tidy
• text from Mr F saying he's at a meeting this evening so won't need any supper so that'll be a cupboard supper for me tonight
• no sales on Fleabay this week - will relist for next week
• OP'd a Tillytidy of 80p
• Amaz0n voucher arrived from $wagbuck$ - £5 OP'd
• claimed £10.60 from TCB so will OP that when it arrives
• totted up Mr Marmite - £14.40. I'll pay that into the bank tomorrow and OP
• meeting to attend this evening - just a short one this time so that'll probably be another hour to claim for
• an NSD

Back to being a grown up again!

I am sooooo tired today. Still sleep deprived from the weekend I think and feeling the effects of one forgotten and one very late thyroxine tablet. Mr F is away with work tonight so I have an early night planned with no alarm set :j


MS activity:

• message from my hairdresser on the answer 'phone this morning. He can do me a wash, cut and blowdry for £50 and my colour for £50. Overall this would mean a saving of about 50%. So still an indulgence but half the size
• admin meeting this morning - 2 1/2 hours claimed
• the office asked me if I could do 1 day a month for them on a separate contract. "Of course" I said so that will be an extra £50 ish a month
• popped into the market town to bank Mr Marm1t£'s proceeds. Went to the Co-op to pick up some essentials. Essential items bought - 2, non essential items bought - 3 £11.12
• ate one non-essential $n1ck£r$ bar in the car on the way home
• ate half of one non-essential Stuffed Crust Cheese Feast Pizza for lunch
• followed it with one non-essential Salted Caramel Cheesecake Slice
• repeated the last two items for supper!
• OP'd the Marm1t£ money - £14.40
• 90p Tillytidy OP'd

That'll teach me for going shopping when I'm tired and hungry. No calories in any of that lot either - not! Must remember I'm going on holiday in June.

Hope your day has been the lite version

Excellent result with the hairdresser....

Still back on a (relatively) sensible route yesterday:

• a 40p Tillytidy OP'd
• £10.60 TCB payment OP'd
• did the weekly Waitr0$£ shop - should come in about £20 under budget
• cupboard lunch and supper for me as Mr F was away
• went out for a drink with a couple of girlie friends £11.10 - succumbed to a pot of chunky chips I'm afraid

Mr F thinks a more senior role might be coming up at his company. If it does, he will go for it, and, if he gets it, it will mean moving! Quite a remote posibility but a very good excuse for nosing at people's houses on Rightm0v£ :rotfl:

Have a good Friday all

Another sensible day yesterday which means not much to report:

• Step class in the morning
• occupied myself with housework to distract myself from spending :rotfl:
• a cupboard lunch
• Waitr0$£ delivered. No free stuff this time but £18.44 under budget
• Lentil Chilli with Rice for supper. We've had this fairly recently but I had all the ingredients so it made sense to use them up. There was enough for fajitas later in the week and a portion for the freezer
• talked with Mr F about going to visit the boys for a weekend. It's one of their girlfriend's birthdays soon and she's having a party. We could go up and surprise them. It will reduce the amount left over for savings this month but we haven't been up for a while.

Off to London today to meet some old friends for lunch.

Have a great Saturday everyone.

Ah fortune, I had actually forgotten how much I love reading your diary. You always cheer me up and have made my Saturday morning (it's very dreecht in Schortio Scotland today).

Enjoy Landan baby:D
