    Our £250 OP from last month has taken our daily interest from £14.81 to £14.66, if I can manage £250 a month we may be able to get below £14 by May so that is the next goal :D

    I need to go and persuade the bank to waive a charge on my current account tomorrow. My account went below 0 at one point last month but as always I transferred money to cover it. The statement shows that my account was credited the same day but they have added it for the following day so I have occurred a £35 fee. Whenever we do this normally it is fine so it is really annoying.

    Adpoints has been really disappointing this week, so far only 54 points this week :(

    5p check in while out, I am sure it will help in our MF quest somehow :rotfl:

    We managed to leave here about 12, go to a couple of shops and not get distracted to eat out, so a lovely lunch at home.

    This afternoon's jobs

    Ironing
    Put mirror up in bedroom
    Bake fairy cakes
    Spend 30 minutes sorting out spare room
    Take freeview box from our room

    Going to start baking now so hopefully can get everything done and report back soon.

    Hope everyone else is having a lovely weekend xx

    I just take the pictures and write descriptions, along with postage costs. I

    believe if you know there is free listing next weekend you can set it to start say Sunday pm - this will initially show as a charge, then you go in say Sat am and change to list immediately and there is no charge. I've not tested this though.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Been to the gym but later in the day again so haven't had any chocolate. I did have crisps at lunch and really don't think I needed them, I tend to eat what I take in with me whether I am hungry enough or not so I am considering leaving the crisps behind. When I can be bothered to try making soup this will not be an issue.

    I am desperate to tone up so really need to be a bit more dedicated to this exercise lark. Today I ran and did a sit up circuit but am considering adding weights soon to try and help my upper body (from a tone rather than bulk point of view). I want to go to the gym tomorrow but not sure I can fit it in so I may have to get up early and go before work :(

    Tomorrow I am getting my hair cut for the cost of dinner which currently stands at £1 although she is bringing her sister with her (both Mr AJM's nieces) so the cost will go up a bit as we need to buy more meat. Nowhere near the £29 I normally pay and I don't need to leave the house :j

    Been to the gym again today, 4 times in 4 days so I am very happy with myself. I have been deliberately making time to go each day which is good as it means I have got away from work a bit earlier too. Somehow I seem to be almost on top of my work load too :j

    I feel so much better when I go, I just need to remember that feeling for the times when I can't be bothered to go! It helps that I am already aware of the results. I am only allowing myself to weigh in once a month but am keeping measurements once a week so the next time is tomorrow. There may not be any changes there yet but I can grab slightly less and my tummy is slightly flatter although that will be a food based thing than exercise as I haven't started targetting that area yet.

  • I love my zumba, I do go to the gym and aerobics, but I love the downright sillyness of it, makes me laugh and sweat. Unfortunately despite wiggling my bum and tummmy havent noticed any decrease!
