    Sounds like you're already doing it :)

  • Here we are again, already Wednesday - this week is whizzing by!

    Had some more orders today for my second job and have a party booked in for next Tuesday, hoping it will get really busy on the run up to Christmas.

    Not able to swim at the moment as the pool is closed for maintenance, hoping it gets fixed soon as I need my unwind time! I guess I can still use the spa facilities but I really enjoy the swim.

    Today is another NSD with breakfast and lunch brought from home, dinner tonight will be from the freezer and with any luck hubby will have it cooked by the time I get home!

    We have a quiet weekend ahead with no plans, I always find that these can turn into spendy ones though so I will need to budget myself. Saturday will be the usual Tesco shop and I may suggest a movie day on Sunday with microwave popcorn :)

    Not much else to report, made my obligatory PAD this morning by rounding down the bank, £3.10... every little helps!

    Off to much lunch... take care and keep smiling!

  • Well done on all your orders for your second job.

    Hope the pool opens again soon. Perhaps if your really busy with other stuff then maybe it's a blessing disguise.

    I'm like you aiming for a fairly light spend weekend - mainly because I haven't got masses of money left so its going to be a tight week. Determined credit cards are not going to come out and I can survive on what's in the cupboards.

  • I have been invited to my friends house for wine and a natter on Sat night... Sounds ideal to me!

  • Another lunchtime update from me, keeps me away from the shops!

    Today is another NSD for me but it looks like I will have to fill the car up tomorrow so it will be my last for a while. 10 this month so far though so I haven't done bad.

    Another order bagged for my second job today :T I need to start planning stuff for my party as there are lots of things I need to print off like special offers and promotions. I have been taking tips from experienced consultants and I hope I do them proud!

    Home made lunch and breakfast today, a slight change in filling though, I'm living dangerously! :rotfl:

    Getting up with hubby in the morning is doing me good, I feel a lot more energetic, not so much at bed time though which is creeping forwards...

    Obligatory PAD made this morning, just £1 as there were no changes to the bank account.

    Hope everyone is well :)

  • Hi Hun.

    Another NSD well done. 4 in a row is brilliant.

    A different lunch filling you may have to have a lie down when you get home to get over the excitement :)

  • Haha! I enjoyed the change so much I've already made the same for tomorrow's lunch!

    ;)

  • Well today was so very busy that I had no time for my lunchtime post! I had back to back meetings so had about 5 minutes to eat my home made lunch, which was lovely though!

    Today has not been a NSD as it started off with filling up with petrol. I also nipped to the supermarket for a few bits tonight on the way home. PAD was made this morning to the PS4 fund.

    I'm well and truly shattered after a hard week at work so determined to enjoy the weekend

    Hope you all do too!

  • Missed your lunch time post. Don't often get chance to view it then but generally catch up on the commute on the way home. Don't normally respond as the iPhone is a bit fiddly.

    I noticed your massive PAD you are doing fab, bet your near your target now for hubby's ps4.

    Think you deserve a fantastic weekend.
