Thank you will head on over there and have a look! I would like to try to use what I have in my cupboards as I have bought so many things and not yet used them so that's a great idea!
Thank you

Mid week and this miserable weather is getting me down, all I need is a bit of sunshine and I have my energy back!! Anyway onwards and upwards!
Went to see a firework display last night but very money saving as didn't pay to go in as parked in a rd close by and got to see the big ones so was very enjoyable! It is a gridlocked area when the display is on as it gets so busy but where we went it was lovely and quiet!
A few items on ebay have biddings so fingers crossed! I did sell an item and it was collected last night, £8 thanking you! But I am having a dilemma, shall I put it towards my slow cooker?
Budget is awful this month as am just starting out and a little skint, decisions decisions!!!
Looked into the nail situation! Well because my issue is having my nails painted, I am going to get these ones soaked off, then I am going to purchase tips, 200 for £8 and comes with glue, I will paint them then put them on myself. Voila will save me a fortune and I will still get to keep my nails, I wish I could have lovely strong nails but even before I resorted to acrylic I tried vitamins, potions etc and nothing strengthened them!! It's ok I will save myself around £30 a month!!!
Diet - I have been so bad but I am joining a new ww group as Thursdays will be better for me so tomorrow I'm off and going to start fresh! Very exciting...
This week is the start of all things new and new routines etc. very exciting! :cool:A new year, new month, new focus and new hope - must stay on the right path for my dreams to come true![/CENTER]

From your signature I can see you've done really well, that's brilliant! I have a long way off but I am determined. How have you stayed focused?A new year, new month, new focus and new hope - must stay on the right path for my dreams to come true![/CENTER]

Not feeling too good today, bit under the weather, sorry for myself! Not a happy bunny.
just hoping a good night sleep will help me get back to me.
So today hasn't been a very productive day as all I have done is sit there, not good! But I have not spent any money and had all meals from stores. Still haven't picked my slow cooker up yet!
Anyway I have been thinking I do spend a lot of electric on the kettle! Between us all the kettle must boil at least 15 times a day which is ridiculous! So I need to think of a more cost effective way of having hot water? Any ideas?
Booked to have the nails taken off next week so will do them myself after that. Eyebrows also going to do myself too.
Ebay seems to be doing well the items I have on there. Just need to list some more so I have a steady flow of items selling.
I also started to go through my craft bits today, I have so many things all over the place and am thinking I am going to try to sell some of my creations on ebay as well as selling some craft supplies to declutter and make extra. It's all worth a try.
OH is driving me mad at the moment, he is so annoying and doesn't ever listen to what I say. Sometimes I think I am the only one in this relationship, men :mad:
Well off to bed early to try to get some rest and get my energy back and feel good again.
