Cheery's buttling diary: tea in one hand, plant pot in the other, running shoes on

We're still neck & neck on the NSD's Cheery!
This will be where you overtake I think though - I need a haircut (no, I REALLY NEED a haircut! :rotfl:) and I know MrEH's car will need diesel tomorrow too, so that will rule that one out (Unless I go to fuel up after I've picked him up, when he can do it - mwahahahaha!)
Good luck with the clothes-hunting - I checked over my summer shoes the other day and surprised myself with how many pairs I'd got, so no shoe shopping for ME this summer!🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡

Well an epic FAIL on the NSD front for me!! :rotfl:
Bought a new pair of shoes - NOTHING like either of the ones I was looking for:rotfl: Just £7.99 though. And a black cardi (which was on the list) for £6
Also paid library fine of £1.60 the other day and forgot to write it down
Um, what else?? £11 for an emergency haircut... I'm sure there was something else, will rifle through purse later for receipts!0 -

More because I got so sick of my fringe on Saturday that I lopped it myself :eek:
and I'm presenting at a national conference for work on Wedesday and figured I'd come across more professionally if I didn't look like a drunk toddler had cut it
:rotfl:
So yes - as haircuts go, it was pretty much an emergency :rotfl: :rotfl:0 -
Well done on the race Cheery :T It must have been hard in the hot weather - i find both hot weather and rain hard to run in - the rain because i can't see without my specs! so it is hard going - as you will know 'flat surfaces' aren't all that flat and i've really got to watch my footing :cool:
Yeah :T To cutting your own fringe - i have been known to do mine and yes it doesn't always turn out the way you think it should:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: I can understand you getting it done professionally ready for a conference though - the thing of feeling groomed and presented is great for confidence - though i'm sure you've got bags of that
Well done on the weight loss :T I will be focused on this from the end of this week so if you have any tips that'd be fab
My Mr is treating me to having my hair done - and yes - it really has got that bad :eek::eek: He has booked me in a very nice looking place but i don't think they do the shaved / patterned head thing i was after - maybe thats his cunning plan :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: But having considered my design as much as i love it the pattern and colouring would just take too much maintenance i.e cost too much so wouldn't be very MSE
Ooh and some new summer shoes :T Totally understand after i've had boots on all day - with socks on so they don't rubphew! i was warm. Now i have bought a few summer shoes lately but they're not shoes, they're flip flops and i'm not allowed them in work and i can't just buy any slip on shoes as i have odd size feet - so 1 just slips off again! :eek:
Black cardigans - always needed - i love a cardi
I have no idea how you keep track of all your accounts - i remember years ago i had an account where you could have separately named savings pots - it was fab

:hello: hi all
DDFW, lovely to see youI'm not the one for dieting tips I'm afraid - it's taken me pretty much dead on an entire YEAR at slimming world to lose that stone and a half - and I've been within the same 3lbs and unable to shift any more for the last 6 months :eek: :eek: That's all I've done, just that and running - which I think has very little effect other than limiting the amount of hours I can eat cake! :rotfl:
Gosh, I never took you for a shaved designed head type!What were you planning on having done?? And what will you have done now?
I did indeed have another NSD today :j :j Number NINE this month, which considering I only made 8 in the whole of April isn't bad at all!! :j :j
Also remembered I sent £1.45 on a pen on Monday and didn't declare it:rotfl: Must add to signature
And... just had final bill from BT - which declares that we are in credit by £63.76 :j :j :j :j So as soon as that hits the bank I shall add it to my long term savings pot which will increase my May figure nicely:j :j
0 -
BRILLIANT on the BT credit Cheery - that'll be a nice little boost to the savings, won't it!
We're STILL neck & neck on the NSD's - how impressive are we?! :A

Will indeed EH! :j :j :j Wasn't expecting quite that much - we pay monthly but they bill every 3 months so I can never quite work out whether we're in front or behind
I could see we were in credit, but could also see there was another bill due so couldn't quite get my head round whether we'd have any left after that
:rotfl:
Anyway, turns out we did, so all good
No NSD for me here today so if you've had one you'll be beating me!
Mind you, I have only spent £1.35 on a 4-pack of sesame seed snaps (which I ate ALL of out of boredom on a very tedious train journey:rotfl: ) Pleased I didn't use it as an excuse to get all spendy
That should be it for today! Going to meeting tonight but I shall take a small bit from my little envelope so that doesn't count0 -
Poor sesame snaps to be snaffled so quickly.
I bought a cable today as a work spend so I'm thinking I'm in the clear but the day is far from over. And, I did buy some 'emergency' prawns as I'm feeling a bit down so a good chilli/prawn thing should sort me out.
Laughing at you lot on here.
Thank you for keeping the troups entertained.
I may indeed grow my hair like rapunzel - I have given it a wee snip but nothing too outrageous.
