    Aye, hardcore, or stupid as i like to call it :) I'm tired. My body is a little worn out but I just keep focusing on how good it will feel when I've done it. Something to tick off the list. And I've used it to prove to myself that I can do anything I set my mind to :) it's working!
  • Hi all

    Hi everyone!

    Oooo I'd love to be able to crochet. Knitting is more my thing but I always think crochet is more easy to carry around. Lots of inspiration to pick it up again.

    Thanks abundant1972, although I need to take a leaf out of your book now and get some exercise in as part of my routine instea of eating the leftover cake :rotfl:

    A SFD for me so now at 2/20...and took lunch to work and resisted real coffee again. Wedding tomorrow but I'm driving which will save on taxis and alcohol. Then bowling Sunday but will stick to the one game to keep costs down.

    Away from Mon to Fri for a break in the Highlands but it will be low spends usually just fuel and food to take up and enjoy the gorgeous countryside, read books, watch movies ...bliss and few shops do even better!

    Nighty night all. I won't be around tomorrow so look forward to catching up on Sunday!

    Did a post last night then lost it. Grr. So yesterday we went to the play area. Very good but very expensive! £24 for 3 kids and 2 adults. I'm going to sign up to their newsletter to hopefully get offers for the future. Then we had lunch there so another £7.50. They don't let you take your own food in - sneaky.

    Today there won't be a sfd either as bf still here And we're off into town. I'll try to get the rest of the clothes I need for the kids and use the rest of the pizza express club are vouchers. Going back to work will be a relief for my purse after this week. Should be sunny again today so intend another trip to the park later to tire the dc out. See you all later
    If you want to feel rich, just count the things you have that money cannot buy. :)

  • Hi all, yesterday was another Spend day for me and today will be as well. My friend is in town with her baby & I have to pick up my broken phone from the repair shop.
    All good though, I've already stopped myself from buying several things this month so am feeling that already I have cut back from my usual spend thrift habit!

  • Morning All,

    A spend day for me yesterday on the grand national sweep stake in work and then went for a few drinks at a local, not budgeted for but beats staying in on your tod and I had a good night.

    On a plus I've not bought any clothes or shoes in the past week, my trouble is I hate being bored so need to plan low cost things to keep me occupied!

    Eh xx
