Onwards and upwards

Hi Choc, welcome to my diary, and thanks for posting!

I think my self-esteem is definitely linked to my weight, and also my finances. I am not overweight by any means, just slightly podgy! I think (perhaps) I'd be happier if I was a bit smaller.

My chubbiness makes me really shy, especially around guys, which doesn't help. It's like a vicious cycle - I think I'm fat, so I don't talk to guys, so they think I'm uppity, so I eat chocolate...

Anyway, feel free to join me! New friends are always welcome along for the ride

Congratulations on your marriage this year! :j

He he...why do we do this to ourselves eh?! I too am not fat, just have a layer of pudge that annoys me and makes me feel insecure. It's madness isn't it. Half a stone and a bit of exercise and I would feel so much better yet I eat more chocolate each day feeling bad about it, lol. What a cycle to be in!!!

Money is a massive issue for me but i'm getting there slowly and I would love to say that 2013 was the year I became debt free. It'll be hard going but it's my aim.

How has your weekend been?

Hi Choc-addict. My weekend was OK thanks, I did a MS for an opticians on Saturday, spent more than I earned but it was all from my budget, will just have to be careful for the rest of the month. On Sunday I did a 10 km run in the local area with a friend. I am trying to decide whether to do an 11km race this weekend, I think I might save myself for a half-marathon at the end of the month. How was your weekend?

Have just done another MS for my lunch, so that'll be £3.75 to add to my total when paid. I am expecting get £43.50 for MS soon, of which £27.50 is profit

I did an audit for £10 too, although not sure when that'll be paid, I need to check. Anyone know how assosia work with payments? I may ask to do another one this weekend.

I have a few things on ebay which are being bid on, one has 27 watchers!!

I have had an extra £5 Amazon voucher, taking my totals to:

Amazon £30
Boots £10 (Still not received, come on Valued Opinions)
Love to Shop £10 (Various shops)

That takes me to £50 in vouchers, with £70 to go. I don't think I will make my goal before Christmas, but I've certainly taken some money off what I need to spend.

Hello southernbelle! Yet another one here who is not fat and just had a bit of podge

Re Assosia is it your first pay from them? If so you will need to ask them to send you a form I think to get your bank details. They pay automatically now around 16th of each month. Not sure what the cut off date is though, I also did some audits last week and have another so hoping we will get them all on 16th

southernbelle

Thanks clippy_girl it was my first audit so I'll have to email.

Hi Southerbelle,

What a busy weekend for you with a 10k run! Puts me to shame. I've not been able to do anything exercise wise for couple of months as have a chest infection that won't shift despite the numerous medications. Think that's not helping with the weight issue at the minute! Still on 4th lot of antibiotics as of yest so hopefully they'll kick it!

Doing well with the mystery shops. Fingers crossed for the ebay items.
