Tonight I have a busy night planned and little energy but I intend to:- do ironing
- make some curry and lasagne to freeze and make packed lunches for tomorrow
- check banks online, assess finances and pay CC bill
- make Hubby clean bathroom and vac downstairs
- do a dark wash IF the washing on radiators is dry (should've hung it out this morning but it looked too overcast...glorious sunshine now!)
Well I did the ironing, made the curry, made lasagne sauce and cheese sauce then realised I'd run out of lasagne sheets, d'oh! (going to buy some today to fiinish them) paid CC bill and did a dark wash. Just half a dark and half a white wash left in the basket.
Didn't get Hubby to do his jobs, he was distracted by the footy, tut tut!
On the weight loss - I didn't have anything to eat after tea but did munch a few digestives waiting for tea to cook.
Tonight I need to:- put lasagnes together
- vac bedroom and sort out my bedside cabinet (need to put away jewellery etc.)

I had a rather naughty day yesterday and ate 2 bars of chocolatethen i had fish and chips for dinner
:o (oven ones not chip shop ones). i was feeling rather low yesterday and guess i opted for comfort food! Never mind, today is a new day and i will try to get back on track.
Porridge eaten for brekkie and will see what else i can find for lunch and dinner later - i find if i try to plan i do nothing but think about food all dayI will try to get out for a walk as well!
hmmmm not much of a walk, about 5 mins then the rain came on
sarnie for lunch, resisted chocolate and not had anything for dinner yet - might opt for some soupDebt at Aug 2010 (LBM) £21,908.86, Debt Freeeeee Date 4th Nov 2013 :j:j:j Massive Thanks to the £10 per day thread :A Next goals:Savings £1203.16/£10,000******Mortgage to Zero: £52,579.46 to go

Morning,
Well, I made those lasagnes (we had one for tea) and sorted out the clutter at my side of the bedroom. Hubby cleaned the bathroom and vacced upstairs and down and the house looks almost tidy at last. Put a white wash on this morn as the washing on radiator was dry.
Tonight's jobs:
- iron (there's not much)
- make tea and sort lunches for tomorrow
- perservere with my knitting (not done any for a while, I've probably forgotten how to do it!
Re: the challenge - I've started logging into MyFitnessPal again. Last night's lasagne was made with SM mince (bben buying from butchers recently, much nicer meat) and tasted quite fatty really AND I had garlic bread with it, eek! On the plus side, I didn't have any supper.
Weigh in tomorrow morning so we shall see...0 -

Hi!
Oh dear, I had a rather lazy night and didn't do the ironing or knitting.
Good news to share, we've been given a bonus at work today and I have just cleared my credit card. I am now officially debt free so tonight's task is to celebrate.
I promise tomorrow, I'll do the ironing and try and get back into knitting.
Weight challenge - I've put ON 2lbs eek! but have planned healthier, less stodgy meals for next weeks so hopefully I'll see some improvement next week.
Fairy, that's a lot of steps to tackle today, good luck with your list x0 -
YEY well done on being debt free his missus!!!!! - that is fabulous news
I don't think i will be doing all my steps today, but will see how i get on

Hey Guys!
Hope you are all well - I've been slacking at my stepping again, so thought I'd pop back in and say hello!! Will put up a list tomorrow as desperately trying to get myself back together. Work, college and mummy duties have been driving me to distraction. Never knew how hard working 15 hours a week would be.
Well it's taken me a month but finally caught up with all the college work so the next step is the house - well I think it's a house, can't really tell under all this carp :rotfl:
Would love to join the diet challenge too if I may - been getting very lardy since my hols and my docs have challenged me to get to under 13 and a half by my next diabetes appointment in August (currently at the top end of the 14's - will weigh and measure tommorrow!!)
