    crazycatlady1 I'm absolutely green with envy, i've been hoping to see Elbow for sometime, anyway have a great night.

    Spend day here as predicted but unfortunately needed much more than milk on closer inspection of cupboards.
    On the upside managed to drop 2lbs in weight this week, i don't quite know how as i've succumbed to treats on several occasions.
    Hoping for a couple SFD'S this week and will try extra hard to take lunch to work.
    Have a lovely lazy Sunday folks!

    I know that with my dd's activities, I put them in the budget for the month, so although I'm paying out on the relevant days, for me they are not a 'spend'. Other people put money in envelopes. Maybe do that for the pub quiz and dancing - so long as you don't spend any other money :).

    Thanks AppleMuncher I could do that with dancing/pub quiz as they cost a specific amount - that could increase my chances of hitting 15SFD!!


    Have a great night CCL! and happy Sunday all.

    evening all

    sfd today and another swim! listed all my stuff on gumtree and sold 2 items today for £9. Also had some free stuff collected as well. selling another item tomorrow at work for £3. will be listing the unsold gumtree stuff at work tomorrow as well.

    so i decided out of interest to sand a patch on two of my victorian floorboards. mainly as some are painted in thick red paint. good news is it sands off easily but the black one was splintered a bit. also found 2 nails and generally they need to be de-nailed to sell. its quite dark in the loft so i am going to get mum to help me bring them down next week for a thorough inspection. have been offered £8sqm for them by a reclamation yard as long as they are in ok condition. could get more on ebay maybe but not sure if i want the faff! can then get them to look at the massive joists i found and the victorian door to see if they want them as well. all the stuff is sorted in the loft now :) hoping to get at least £150 for it all :D

    Evening All,


    Not an SFD today as had to get petrol, I also gave in and ordered myself a book on Kindle £5.60, was book 5 of the game of thrones series. Wish I hadn't started reading them now as he hasn't written them all yet!


    Quiet day today as horrible weather so DD and I were pretty much stuck indoors apart from a brief visit to my Grandma. All the oldies at the home love seeing DD, pity my Gma is so far gone with dementia she barely acknowledges either of us :(


    Anyhoo, scores on the doors today:
    2/15 SFD
    £57.96/£100 food budget
    5/30 items decluttered
    2/18 Exercise 3x weekly

    £0/£3 food bank

    HAPPY <belated>

    BIRTHDAY

    KAT!!!

    Wishing you a year FULL of good fortune, love and happiness!!!

    Well done Fmess on clearing your card - awesome job!!!

    I've been in a real dip the last few days... argument with colleague at work... dull and dreary weather... no motivation to exercise... eating comfort food... NO MORE!

    Decided I just needed to get to the gym and kick start myself again... It's just a blip! One huge <don't tell me off!> but healthy shop later I'm restocked and ready to go... So - spendy weekend but shouldn't need to buy food for a LONG time - just things like milk etc.

    Having a relaxing night in and am going to start my week feeling positive come what may!!!

    Thank you :)

    luckystarr well done for resisting the takeaway, they are often my downfall!

    siannelaz sorry to hear your grandma has dementia, it's such a horrible condition.

    Today has been a spend day as I needed to pay for a taxi to and from the 10k race. Completed the race in 1 hour 10 minutes and I'm ecstatic with my time as I've don't really do exercise and I've been trying really hard to train since December :) I've never ran anywhere near that pace before :)

    The rest of the day I have spent on the sofa lesson planning and I'm now achey all over. Walked the dogs to try loosen up a bit but it didn't really help.

    Got one more super busy week this week before the Easter holidays and I'm so excited for a rest :) Also planning to further declutter the house and thoroughly clean, what an exciting life I lead ;)
