The end of the beginning - chapter 2 of my MFW journey

EchoDelta

Thanks gallygirl

For the first time in absolutely ages I've done some One Poll surveys, better than the Bay of Fleas during the insomnia hours! On £17.80.

EchoDelta

Have just Tilly Tidied to mortgage op pot.

Going to make sure I check one poll and the online banking every day. The online banking especially is a really basic habit that I've been neglecting whilst being ill.

EchoDelta

£20.90 on One Poll now.

Insomnia has struck again! Freaky dreams. Currently camped out on sofa so I don't disturb Mr Delta . Happily I have tomorrow off so could be worse.

Oh, may as well check online banking while I am up. Bright side!

Watty1

Sorry about the insomnia. But love that you are using the time to do your MSE stuff.


And yeah managing on one salary is def worth bigging it up about

EchoDelta

Thanks Watty.

Have done some surveys and now on £21.

Mr Delta and I are looking at going on a grown up mini holiday in August when my folks are taking Small away to visit some family. Will be our first trip just us since before I got pregnant! Feels exciting and also a bit odd! So he is trawling the internet for deals

Aside from that it's pay day on Friday! :T

EchoDelta

It's that most glorious of days - pay day!!!


Things are a little tight as we have a camping trip to Longleat planned (and my word Longleat tickets are SO expensive! ) and a friend's 40th birthday to celebrate (a weekend away - committed to when we were a dual income household).


But have put a little in the emergency fund and a little in the OP pot.


I am out tonight for a colleague's leaving do but happily I am a totally lightweight so will mostly be on the lemonade having got pleasantly fuzzy on just a few alcoholic drinks.


Happy weekend everyone!

EchoDelta

June is being a good month so far.

I have just completed week 2 of the "Couch to 5 km" running training and I am loving it. Can really feel the difference in my legs and bum already, and the endorphins are fabulous. Definitely feel better every time I go. Have also been swimming weekly.

It's our anniversary tomorrow and we're having a night away in the posh hotel where we got married. Will be lovely

Well done on the c25k. I love running and started with that. Have been doing it almost 2 years. It's made a huge difference to how I feel about myself and my weight. I agree about the endorphins. I end up like a bear with a sore head if I don't get to run a few times a week now.

Happy anniversary for tomorrow.

EchoDelta

Thanks Welshlassie. We had a lovely time.

*whispers* we spent £140! BUT soooo lovely.

Good to hear that C25K really is a good "in" to running. I am loving it! Having a rest day and an early night today. Next run tomorrow.

Ooh *novelty alert* actual mfw update - we got our statement through and owe £68,500. Feeling determined to get the term reduced a bit more. With that in mind I am off to play with the op calculator!

Watty1

Congratulations on the anniversary....and on the Cto25k. been meaning to start that for over a year now - obviously not a girl of deep intention me eh???
