What is your leeway?
SW's is only 3 lbs.

Oooo I have my pedometre on today too, decided yesterday to average 70k a week!

I don't put my pedometer back to zero at the end of each day.It's nice to see the figure rising each day to 20 000/30 000 etc.:)

Mine has the time on it and automatically resets to zero at midnight, but I can see 7 days history so I can work out my weekly figure- today has been energetic over 12k already- bleedin knackered!

My pedometer is a weight watchers one which tells you how many steps you should take minimum every day. Then when is reaches that number it starts to count them again until you earn enough for an activity point. Activity points = extra food :rotfl:
So far I have another 850 more steps to do before I earn 1 point. I marched up and down my office every opportunity I got today Confirming everyone's suspicions that I have a screw loose

Beanie - we have a 5lb leeway at weight watchers before you have to pay. But I am happy to report I have been a ww angel :A today.

Good Morning

Yesterday I did 11,125 steps which equalled 4.63 miles or 7.45km and earned 2 weight watchers pro points Not bad for the first day. I have the pedometer back on today and that's my target to beat

Money into the bank this morning and the clothes for cash cheque came yesterday so I am going to take that to the bank at lunchtime (walking ) I have bills to pay tomorrow but it looks like I will be in credit for another week. It has been a challenge not using the overdraft but it will get easier as I build up my "buffer".

Finally, the person I have been waiting on paying for on ebay has made their payment so that's a tiny little bit more into the funds and I sold something yesterday and have a bid on something else There are a lot of things on there that have no bids and no watchers though so it isn't as great as it sounds, still, every extra penny is a bonus.

I have another bag for clothes for cash being collected today and I am waiting for the cheque to come from the old mobile phone I sold. Hopefully, all these bits and pieces will help keep me solvent for a while longer.

Meal planning and shopping list is the order of the day today. I still have my Mr T money card so that's not going to make a dent in the account.

I can't believe that we are into the last week of January already :eek: Looks like the year is going to fly by again. Hopefully we will all be a little bit (or a big bit) better off with every month that passes.

Stay warm everyone and have a great Friday Eve

All looking good freeby :j

Afternoon fifty,

You sound like you are doing great.

Good news of the cheque for the clothes. I would love to do that, but if I gave any clothes away I would'nt have anything to wear. I don't have that many .

I see you sold an old phone, does it have to be a working phone or can it be broken?. Sure I have got a few broken phones about .

Well done for still being out of the overdraft :T Fabulous.

Good Morning

Yesterday I did 11.589 steps or 4.82 miles or 7.75km and earned 2 weight watcher propoints Phew, glad I got that out, I've been remembering it since I took the pedometer off last night. :rotfl:

I paid two bills this morning (cc's ) and still have money in the bank Not much but it's there and it's mine. All is still going to plan and is looking good for staying out of the overdraft ubtil the end of the month.

Cash for clothes bag went yesterday and I am eagerly waiting their email to tell me how much it is worth.
I got an email from the people I sent the phone to telling me that they will pay me £17 for it. Not that much but it is better than it lying in a drawer at home.
Steph - my phone was working. There are loads of people out there who will take them, working or otherwise, just google it and you'll find someone who'll have them. It's worth a wee google
Something else sold unexpextedly on ebay yesterday so that's another few pounds in the paypal account. I might actually have something worth transferring into the bank account at the end of the month but we shall see I am not sure if it is a free listing weekend this weekend or not??? I hope so, I have loads of stuff to go on if it is.

I did my meal plan and shopping list for next week yesterday and then a stock inventory of my freezer. I need next to nothing in my shopping, just fresh stuff as I planned everything around what was in the freezer. Hopefully that Mr T card will last another week

And that's it for today. Things are looking not too shabby, I just hope it lasts

I think we are to get the worst of the snow today before it turns to rain :eek: I have warned them at work, the first flakes and I am off, I have quite a long (35 minute) drive to get home and I am not a confident driver at the moment so I'm being a big wuss and taking off early.

Have a great Friday everyone.

Not looking shabby at all.
It is a free listing weekend on ebay.
Safe home xx

Blimmin' snow :eek:
I had visions of me being on the news as one of the cars that were stuck in it :eek: Not a drive home I ever want to do again, but I got here safely. It is still chucking it down here (can snow chuck down??? flopping down, floating down, flumping down?)
Thank goodness it is Friday, I have no desire to go out in that again.

Hope everyone else is safe and warm
