    ~Worked for 7 hours.

  • Well I wouldn't say today has been my best day but here goes - today I have:
    • checked my bank balance and extended my overdraft to avoid charges (does this count as a DFW activity?)
    • I have logged all spending for yesterday and today, a spending diary will hopefully help to see where I am spending
    • lunch from store cupboards
    • meal from meal plan
    • starting xmas shopping early to avoid mad panic and therefore try to stick to a budget
    Fingers crossed for tomorrow as it is meant to be a NSD!!

    Morning All

    Thanks Karb for starting the thread, I knew I should have started the thread this morning – I’m late posting

    Hope everyone is ok, hi to any newbies

    Today I have/will:
    • Meals from stores
    • Try for a LSD – treated myself to a Mars bar as having one of those days
    • Checked bank – no change but I had to check
    • Checked points balance on prepaid credit card
    • Read papers online and freebie paper on the train
    • Meals from stores
    • Drink plenty of water and up my fruit intake
    • Took bodily measurements of – not pretty but it needed to be done
    • Need to log measurements
    • Upload food diary
    • Sleep well tonight

    Think that’s my lot today

  • Boo :( Puncture on the way to the gym! Left bike there and walked home as I was in a bit of a huff.

    Hoping that no tyre damage.

    (I know a gym isn't money saving, but it's made me far less fat, and gives me some time to myself, without which, i might do a murder!)
