Have done my hour of Banish Fat Boost Metabolism this morning to get it done for the day after a sleety walk with the dog.
Made my porridge for the next 2 mornings. Just having a coffee before starting the minestrone soup for lunch and freezing then its rugby time!
A very miserable day here with heavy sleet so I'm having a nice quiet day at home relaxing and who knows I might even do some uni work and get a NSD too!final unsecured debt to repay currently £8333Proud to be Dealing With my DebtDFW Nerd 1154 Long Haul 1550 -

Great match today and well done England - they did it and won while away! Can't wait for the next round of matches in a couple of weeks.
I knuckled down while the rugby was on and wrote the next job on the list of uni work ready to send off tomorrow then next weekend work on the next one on the list. Life will be like this for the 6mth then when it's done - its done! Little steps at the moment but better than none at all.
All ready to go for work in the morning and then back after work to get back for shedding and shredding this week
NSD 2 - hmm slow progress there - better get some more in this weekfinal unsecured debt to repay currently £8333Proud to be Dealing With my DebtDFW Nerd 1154 Long Haul 1550 -
Update time
- NSD 3 - yeah! Left my purse at home to stop the temptation and will do this again to get one more tomorrow
- 2 replies from job applications stating I did not reach the standard required but almost. Instead of being down in the dumps about it I am pleased to have gone for it and applied as it gives me a point to work on. Next meeting with careers advisor next week and we are working on my applications and what needs working on
- Submitted the protocol worked on yesterday so another job ticked off
- Did some planning for the literature review to start at some point this week
- Shedded and shredded today

Couldn't hang on for petrol today with the snow forecast for today - filled up and drew out the shopping money for tomorrow meaning I can count tomorrow as a NSD afterall! Have done my list which I will stick to give or take an item or 2. Will get some bits tomorrow and some more at the weekend.
A very long journey home with very long tailbacks on the motorway as me and everyone else decided to leave at the same time.
Not much else to report - long day at work tomorrow, then early finish on Friday - its certainly making these weeks go quickly which is nice considering all the daily abuse or aggression we are experiencing these days.
How could I forget! Spoke to mum and arranged her birthday day out which we are both looking forward to once the weather picks upfinal unsecured debt to repay currently £8333Proud to be Dealing With my DebtDFW Nerd 1154 Long Haul 1550 -
NSD 5 for me today as I drew out the money yesterday for the weekly shop today. Spent £13 today with prob about a tenner's worth left to get at the weekend coming in under budget of £30 if I do.
Had some good news today from uni being provisionally granted ethics approval if I incorporate a few minor changes which are no problem at all to do and I'm planning to resubmit tomorrow. This weekend will be getting on with some more of the literature review, which, is a rather large piece of work currently!
Looking forward to my early finish tomorrow, catching up on some housework and some exercise after 3 days off. Just didn't feel like it yesterday. Planning a NSD too! Looking to get a few more in this weekend.final unsecured debt to repay currently £8333Proud to be Dealing With my DebtDFW Nerd 1154 Long Haul 1550 -
Well, thank crunchie its Friday!
Have so far fabbed up half the house by cleaning especially the job I put off the most of sweeping and mopping the floors which is done and ticked off.
Also Shredded which was ver hard going today. As I've only exercised twice this week looks like I'll be exercising over the weekend too along with the usual walking.
Tonight I'm planning to fab myself up with a facemask, exfoliate, nail tiday up and repaint and attempt to sort out my feet which are looking worse for wear.
Diet this week which was week 1 of maintaining - and I did! Lets see if I can keep at it - going for week by week approach to keep on track.
NSD 6 today - finished the shopping using the money drawn out earlier this week and get me - stuck to my list! Total for all shopping including yesterday £21 - at last, got there!
While whiling away work this morning, decided to make some enquiries about doing an additional qualification next year like another A Level in a completely new subject. Not sure if its the right thing yet or not and can't find one locally. Will have a chat with my careers advisor next week about possibilities.
Tomorrow - a goo day planned of catching up at home!final unsecured debt to repay currently £8333Proud to be Dealing With my DebtDFW Nerd 1154 Long Haul 1550 -
A rather brilliant start to the day by banishing fat boosting metabolism! Hard work again and certainly left me feeling puffed out along the way. Still its done and dusted for today along with the longer weekend dog walk which was nippy this morning!
Washing in ready to hang out and attempt to dry - I'm having a rest with a coffee and meal planning for next week before doing some more cleaning - oh life in the fast lane! Actually nice to catch up and get jobs done and relax.final unsecured debt to repay currently £8333Proud to be Dealing With my DebtDFW Nerd 1154 Long Haul 1550 -
I'm feeling pretty tired after a busy day. Finished the cleaning leaving only a couple of jobs to do tomorrow, prepped tea and pud which is asian spiced beef, chinese style cabbage and broccoli and rice followed by a treacle apple sponge and custard. Lots of leftovers too for the next couple of days.
I've fabbed myself up with a bath, defuzzed and tidied my nails again and repainted the strengthener. Just watching a film now while tea cooks then another one off for an early night here too - so rock n'roll its untrue!
NSD 7 today - cool, can I make it another one tomorrow?final unsecured debt to repay currently £8333Proud to be Dealing With my DebtDFW Nerd 1154 Long Haul 1550
