Two votes ... its done! I'm off to do the banking now, before it shuts, so it'll be interesting to see what the end of day figure is

Cheery_Daff

Clip it on KC, you can always take it back off again later if you don't like what it says! :rotfl:

and :rotfl: at pippi being tired out - if I could do half of what you get up to in a day I'd be very pleased with myself (and in a heap on the floor from exhaustion, no doubt!)

Had a reasonably productive day considering... misty mysterious run this morning, then a potter round the charity shops, picked up my prescription, and, er, well, I haven't done a whole lot else since then

Oh, except discovered the MOT ran out last week :eek: :eek: Fortunately discovered it at 4.50pm and managed to get it booked in first thing on Monday. Still :eek:

One day I'll get some kind of life admin management plan that works

Spends... 90p on a local paper (not had one for ages!), 99p on some body lotion in charity shop (my favourite smell, and there's often unwanted gift sets being sold), and £1 for a book which I confess I can't remember if I already had a copy of :rotfl: but it was originally £20 and I figured for £1 I can always pass it on

Going to stick me feet up in front of the tv now and crack on with a never-ending sewing project! :j :j

Cheery_Daff

Well,i certainly did stick my feet up - friday night and pretty much ALL day sat, watched 10 episodes of Kojak (i think, lost count after a while...) :eek:

popped to the library and paid £1.80 fine, and bought a few bits of fruit (and treats) - let's call it £5 in total...

Today been to the community allotment, brought home some broad beans :j and about 5 blackberries :rotfl:

Just been to meeting, got a lift there but had to get 2 buses back (£3.60!!) and spent £3 on yogurt and choc too

Cheery_Daff

Morning all :hello:

Lying in bed looking at the sunshine peeking through the skylight blinds and trying to make myself get up for a run before work...

So cozy in bed though! :rotfl: but I keep telling myself 'discipline is remembering what you REALLY want' - and while i temporarily think it would be lovely to have a lie in, what I REALLY want is to feel like i've done a good job of marathon training so I never have to do it again!! :rotfl:

Quick catch up...

Yesterday just spent on work travel, then slimming world in the evening. Got so sick of myself in relation to that lately - spent MONTHS in the same 3lbs, up and down, and finally decided to declare the bottom one of those 3 as my target - took me another couple of months tp get back to it , and then i promptly put on 9.5lbs and spent the last 2 months trying to get back into target range again :eek:

So last night i decided i was sick of looking back and needed to do something drastic... I could leave, but i know from past experience that leaving when i feel like this just makes me feel like a failure which leads to more grumpy eating...

So i've rejoined, got a new book, and will go back this morning to have a new members talk. Cost me £15 all in, pls £4 on cereal bars - but now i feel like i have a fresh start, like i've only got 7lbs to lose, which feels managable in a few short weeks :j

Ludicrous for an intelligent woman to be kidding her own brain like that - but i know myself well and i do like a fresh start! :rotfl:

anyway, it's done now!

Car also has MOT :j :j £90 including the test which is ACE :j :j we take it to a little garage who give it a check over and fix any little things then take it to the test centre which works nicely. Turns out my tyre WAS leaking the other week - it had a screw in it! :eek:

So, today's plan...

4 mile run
slimming world new member talk
work at home
town for talk on urban agriculture in the cathedral :j

will pop back later and update sig, not sure i've had a single NSD :rotfl:

Cheery_Daff

Ok, sign updated to £194 spent and (and that's an approximate number because there were a few days in the middle where I lost track...) :rotfl:

And 3 is a pitiful number of NSDs!!

SO...

Let's see were we're at for the rest of the week and try to squeeze in a few more NSDs and a bit less spending!

Today - working at home, going to a talk about urban agriculture in town later, so just bus home £1.70 (unless I decide to walk?! Possible NSD??)
Wed - in York, then going to meeting so that'll be another £1.70 on the bus as I won't have time to come home and get the car, plus small donation
Thurs - working at a friend's house in the morning, then I've booked on to a hula hoop class in the evening :rotfl: Fancied a bit of a change from all this running!! £4 (Actually I've already paid online for this so I'll add it into sig and maybe Thurs can be another NSD...)
Fri - off work, shortish long run (if that makes sense :rotfl: ) then we're spending the day ferrying crap from the cellar to the tip.... Might feel in need of evening treats...
Sat - no plans
Sun - allotment then afternoon birthday party so perhaps a cup of tea or two

Cheery_Daff

Crikey, I'm such a plonker sometimes!

Got £8.50 in my purse - was trying to see if that would last til next week - possibly not :rotfl:

Checked envelopes - nothing left BUT I did realise we've not spent ANYTHING from the treats budget this month so that still has £50 in it :j :j

Also, bizarrely, found two cash bags - one with £100 in, one with £44.50... Both neatly folded and obviously put there deliberately - but what for?!

I have a feeling I was holding on to one for Mr Cheery (from CD sales, or gig tickets?!) but which one, and what's the other one?!

Oh dear... :rotfl:

Mind you, it's not a bad problem to have so I will quit complaining and get out the door on my run instead!

And NO MORE CASH FROM THE BANK THIS MONTH! :j

Karmacat

Ooh, that sounds complicated! Funny, mind you, but complicated :rotfl: and as you say, its a nice problem to have :j

Enjoy the run :T

starnac

Good luck on joining SW with 7lbs to lose. Hope it's a good one for you

Those cash bags sound complicated. Hope you work out what they are for. Would you have put money in a bag instead of an envelope? Assuming you do literally use envelopes for your cash?

Cheery_Daff

I do literally use envelopes yes, with things written on them, which is why it threw me a bit :rotfl:

Sadly we've worked it out, and neither of them are mine :rotfl:
