    A good day today. All housework finished today and most of the washing too. Spring bedding swap over today along with more winter clothes tidily put away for a good few months I hope!

    Some small sales on ebay today totting up nicely - last lot finish tomorrow.

    2 long dog walks today and Mr Dog is sleeping off his nutter runs from this afternoon while ignoring me chasing another dog around - he's soooo tired now!

    Hmmm......have a thought or two that someone I have met recently might have an eye on me. Or is it the other way around? Not sure if this is the case but I felt some good vibes. Usually I'm good at picking up these feelings especially as it happens so rarely. Now of course, I feel full of doubt that I might have misinterpreted this! Will see if any sparks appear in a week or 2's time. And if not, then no worries, really nice to meet someone who smiles with his eyes and looks happy.

    Lastly, I reached my first NSD target today of 17 - onwards and upwards next to 20.

    Off to tot up some repayment percentage totals now for another challenge I'm doing

    Well I did it, long nice dog walk around the water park then back for 6 week 6 pack, all done!

    Hair treated with the massive tub of hair treatment and working through that long last - looking forward to that being used up and gone for good as I continue to erase items from my previous overspending habits lifestyle - that is almost the last one left - yeah! On a similar note, most of the clothes sold yesterday are from that period. I'm happy they are going to new homes.

    Think I might plant a few salad seeds today then its on with study and off out for another long dog walk if the weather holds before making a beef tagine for tea today. No lamb as per recipe but in with the spirit of using up what I have in rather than buy what it says so,,,,let's see how it turns out

    Tonight I will fab my feet up as they are well in need of that! And sort a fab tres chic outfit out for work tomorrow!

    Finally for now, NSD 18 today and still on track for a clothes no spend month to - result!

    A productive day so far
    Tres chic outfit organised for work
    Next lot of ebay photos taken for a free listing weekend
    Salad seeds planted - cold out there in the soil and one garden bed tidied up with another one to do if it's fine next weekend.
    Attempting to transcribe - very hard going as attempting to play the recording unsuccessfully so far
    Might go out for some fresh air and a dog walk and try again later on

    Totally underestimated how long transcribing takes - 15 mins in took an hour and a half. I imagine I'll get quicker as I go along and also there'll be a big pile up of transcribing by the end of the week. So, have allocated an hour a night this week plus will try and get some done at work if possible along with a couple of 30min exercise sessions - eek!

    The next four weeks is going to be lots of hard work just as I thought it would be, feeling a little bit stressed by the thought of it. Good job there's a couple of songs that are out now that remind me of many years ago way back when dancing was the main priority of the week.

    Now this is the one that is the same speed as all those years ago - house is back, or it never went away in the first place! Just a reminder for me

    Happily a NSD weekend, with not much surprise from the total lack of funds around this week

    A late night tonight back from work after another interview overran so no transcribing tonight as as way too tired after 2 interviews and working.

    Will parcel up the ebay sales instead and get them ready to post tomorrow instead of putting this off as I planned

    NSD 19 today and tomorrow will be another one too

    All ebay sales posted today using sales funds and counting today as a NSD as a result. Also paid £140 off one CC using proceeds from sales did it before I changed my mind!

    Nice long walk after work with mr crackers bonkers dog who decided to jump into the lake and swim out chasing ducks - good job it was breezy so he dried off quickly!

    NSD 20 - onto 23 next
