  • OMG, I feel so bad now for not exercising today - in my defence I have been pretty ill yesterday and today, but getting back to normal tonight.

    I will swing kettle bells in the morning to make up for it.

    It's never good to do exercise when you're feeling I'll Tilly - hope you're feeling much better today.

    I'll pop over to your diary just now X

  • Hi Natty, this rock and roll lifestyle is wild isn't it :T

    Well done on the no chocs, no crisps etc.

    I have swung a kettle bell around and love it :)

    Don't go too wild tonight, I'm off to bed early

    Natty - sometimes unexciting is good. By "sometimes" I mean "when you compare it with crisis and disaster".

    My solution to unexcitingness of MFW gradual progress has been to track as many stats as I can think of, so there's always one that's nearly up to the next milestone. I am now at the stage of having to cut back my sig so as not to run over the max character limit. :o But I am finding it works.

    One of my colleagues runs kettle bell classes Tilly and is always on at me to come along to one, however I have always resisted.....although a few people who I know attend, think the classes are hard work - but great!

    The truth is that I have received money from TCB, emptied my PayPal account, and have also been a canny shopper on purchasing half price items, so technically this money should have gone straight into the MOP 'pot'. However this month I'm finding that extra extra funds are being allocated as straight living expenses.

    I hate wishing the time away, but financially, I am so looking forward to February:cool:

    January does tend tend to be one of the months that happens Nat, I've even put extra by to deal with the January drought and yet for some reason I'm nearly at the end of my drought and we are getting to the £1 in one account £2 in another £7 in the last kinda stage, I keep telling myself it will be ok as hubby gets paid on Tuesday so we just have to make it to then, no more diesel is needed and food can be bought using the nectar crd if we need ... But I'm tryin to push myself with my sugar shuffle and Tilly tidies...

    Basically all that moaning there was to say its normal to feel there too much month at the end of the money in January even if you've planned for it , it's almost like January gets lost in a black hole or something

    Stick with it, next month will be better :)

    Thank you El:)

    Well this evening, half the people I know are going to see Les Miserables, with other half going to see Gary Barlow.

    Me? I vitreously went to lady-gym:A (desperately want to see Les Mis, however I'm a terrible weeper so will have to psyche myself up for the viewing)

    I have had a NSD and am on day 5 of no chocolate, crisps, or biscuits. I don't know how long I can last - although strangely the no alcohol isn't putting me up or down....I'm in the zone and am thinking that as long as the seal isn't broken I should be fine. It's all good for the money saving and the lard reduction though so gotta keep visualising the bigger picture:p
    I have arranged to go to lady-gym tomorrow morning, so will at least start the day with good intention;)

    Away to visit your diaries now.
