    Last week was pretty much a spend free week due to the hideous 4 12 hr shifts in a row!

    This weekend, I was out and I made the most of it as 1. my best friend has moved back to glasgow and 2. im working the next few weekends. So i went to the pub on sat night and all in I spent £43 but that did include a chinese before heading out and my share of 2 taxi's. So I think that is pretty ok. Yesterday I went out with some of my ww buddies and we went to pizza express and that was £11.50.

    Im working nightshift this week and I need dog food so I usually get a big 15kg bag which is £30 but that lasts me around 3 months so not too bad, think I will go on wednesday and get it. Im hoping to tackle my jungle of a garden today before work as I have plans for it this summer. I didnt bother with it too much last summer.

    I havnt been to curves for nearly a month and im feeling really bad ...so plans to go on tuesday night, wed morning and thursday at some point!

    £342 left out of my wages and I get paid a week on thursday :j

    £13 in m+s...wanted to treat myself to some new gluten free chicken things and spent a wee bit more!

    £12 in boots ... have a verucca on my foot that needs blasted!

    I was working last night and I have started operation garden...managed to cut my back grass yesterday afternoon and im planning on cutting my front tonight after dinner. I want to make it nice and pretty this summer as I never really bothered with it much last year!

    Ive got one of the manual lawnmowers, takes longer but burns more calories and then I strim over it. I did my front garden yesterday as I was too tired after nightshift and I have to say it looks great :p

    I spent £16 in pets at home yesterday on dog food
    £36 in sports direct on new running trainers

    BUT I did return the boots verruca treatment as I have found a money saving way of blasting it thanks to these lovely boards! :T so £12 back in the bank that covers the dog food!

    I was out for dinner last night and spent £17 but it was soooo yummmmy!

    Tonight I am planning on starting the couch 2 5k programe and I am scared hehe:rotfl:

    A wee bit of an update needed me thinks....

    Ive managed to pay £100 towards my spending credit card which leaves it with a balance of £53 which will be paid off 2moro since its payday :j

    Ive been on nightshift this week but on monday morning after finishing work I started the C25K and i felt really good after it! I think I will take longer than most to complete it but I feel like its a massive achievement for me to even start something like this!

    Work has been really stressful these past few weeks as our ward is closing and being relocated but most likely the service will be disbanded between several wards so lots of rumours and horrible atmosphere around the place. Ive applied for another job outwith the nhs and I dont know if its for me but will just see what happens with it. Ive sent my cv away so what will be will be.....

    Im looking forward to this weekend as im off to manchester for some shopping with some ww friends! Will have to resist the urge to spend lots of money lol

    Happy Payday to me :j

    I ended the month with £19 and paid off debt too so very happy! Ive just cleared the balance of my Spending card so very happy to add that to my signature! Just one more big chunk to go. If I can I wanna be able to chuck as much money as I can towards the barclycard and get it gone! I know it will take a while but at least I dont have any other cards to worry about! :)
