I'm going to leave it in my current account as a buffer through the month and then I might put it into my Birthdays savings account as I have OH and Mum coming up!

Morning.

Well I had a much better food day yesterday and think I might have reduced the weigh gain So I will still put on weight this week, but hopefully it'll wont be as bad as it could be. But today and the coming week are new and I will aim for having a really good week and undo the damage I have done.

Made a lovely shepherds pie last night and I still have enough for 2 more meals!! So I'm feeling really good about cooking and food. Plus it was nice and cheap as I already had most of the stuff in the house and only needed onion, carrots and some more potatoes.

Got my new DVD player yesterday, used my birthday money so a nice little treat. It was only a cheap one, but it works wonderfully!

Still feeling a bit stressed and my back still hurts. One of the girls I work with is chatting to her sister on the phone and is shouting so loudly the whole office can hear her!! It's going to be a really long day isn't it!

Right I am off to stay calm and check out any new posts on the board!

Good luck x

ooh Good luck with the weigh in tonight

Well done on the SW shepherds pie - it's great when you make enough for several meals - you don't have to worry about it then!

Hope you have a good day and work isn't too annoying!

Work is irritating. I've already taken my pain killers and topped them up with paracetamol. So we shall see.

Morning.

Well I logged into my Alliance and Leicester account and my first balance transfer has gone in :j which I am really please about as I was convinced that I had used the wrong account number.... but obviously not. So I am going to leave it in there over the weekend and then pay it back into my Lloyds account.

I managed to put on 2 and a half pounds at Slimming World last night :mad: but it was my birthday last week, I just need to remember that my birthday is one day and not 5 :rotfl: enjoyed all of it, just need to get the weight back off now. So hoping for a really good food week.

I've worked out that I'm going to be paying over £500 off my debt this month which I am really excited about, seems like a really good dent to be making. But I am going to try for a low spend day. I am buying lunch at work today as I didn't have anything at home. But a Jacket pot and beans will only cost me £1.15 so I'm not going to complain to loudly. I think I have an Avon order arriving today and this is another £6.50, but I have budgeted for that in this month's budget so that's ok.

But I hope that everyone has a good day and a good weekend if I don't update again later.

Wow just realised I now have 3 stars. How impressed am I!

And one other thing. How busy is it on here today? There seems to be loads of people about. Really feel like part of a big online community today.

It's really good.

Good Morning!

It's very wet here today. In fact I considered staying at home, but thought that earning some money would be helpful!

I've updated my Sig to include all that payment's I've made and I dropped back under £10,000 again!! And I still have a few things to go out. I'm paying some money back into my current account today and I am doing ok. I need to cut down on my spending a little as I have spent a bit to much in the last week. But nevermind I've got the rest of the month to do something about it.

I need to get shampoo today and I have an amazon parcel to post. Over the weekend I went through some books and Cd and I've put some more on Amazon so I will hopefully keep the sales up there.

But everything is going down, which is really encouraging and I feel like I am making real head way. I'm also really pleased that my Store card is now under £400, it makes it a much less frightening figure. Hopefully in the next few months that one will go altogether and I'll be able to pay off my OD before the interest free period ends.

Just wanted to share the really satisfying feeling of seeing all the numbers get smaller. I'm going to try for loads of NSD this week as I am going to see Travis on Friday and I want to take some money with me. OH has paid for the tickets it's just spending money now.

But have a good week everyone x

Hi again!

Thought I would check in. I find posting in the morning best for me as I can get my head straight for the day ahead.

Today I am going to try and keep it low. I am cooking dinner for OH tomorrow night so trying to decide what I am going to cook him. I'm thinking some sort of pasta dish, with roast veggies and some chicken. Which I should be able to do cheaply and have some left over to freeze.

I have an Amazon payment going into my OD account today so that has reduced that a little bit. So I am slowly getting there. I have some Amazon parcels to post today, but I need to get some brown paper as I am completely out, still that is only 99p and goes really far.

So that's it today.

99p for brown paper
Postage costs
pasta veggies (maybe)

I'm not going out tonight as I have some house work today and really need to check my beans and tomatoes as the garden has been hit really hard by the rain in the last few days.

Right off to update my sig with all the new figures.

Have a good day everyone x
