    - save £500
    - 2/15 sfds
    - groceries £200
    - 10 30 mins+ walks

    I also intend to clear out the freezer, do more crafting and live a healthier life in April :)

    Hmmm..I think I may have slightly poisoned DH. I found some stuffing mix in the back of the cupboard dated Apr 2012. He said it tasted ok last night when I made it up but feels a bit dikky after having some on his butties today. He doesn't know though whether it's just his brain telling him it's 2 years out of date :D

    SFd today but it was pouring at lunchtime so I haven't been for a walk.

    Another NSD in the bag.

    Dd has had a jama day, which was much needed. I've done 3 loads of washing, waved dh off to Paris for the week, completely cleared dd's room so I could take photos of her bed, then hoovered and cleaned it, and re-stocked it with her myriad of toys. At least she has some floorspace now! And 2 bags of books and toys ready to go out.

    With dh gone, the heating will be on low, and probably off early. And the tv will probably be silent. Bliss! That said, dd'll probably have trouble sleeping and will take up my evening anyway!

    .Another NSD.
    Too wet to go out and I didn't really need anything.
    I don't seem to have done much at all. :-(
    Hope people have had a more productive day than me.

    Evening All,


    Congratulations Fmess, on the cc and a fab time for the 10k xx


    SFD for me today as at work. Managed to get another 2 months of accounts done, only 7 more to do! Although I still haven't got feb and march from this year, despite lots of nudges.


    I've still heard nothing from my ex-landlord with regard to returning my deposit. I'm going to have to go down the small claims route, something I was hoping to avoid as he's aggressive, unpredictable and a general bully :( I was worried when I met him, but I was stuck for somewhere to live at the time and didn't have a lot of choice. He used intimidation and threats to get what he wanted from other tenants, and often used to have fist fights with people outside his property. He's got my new address, so I am a bit worried, but I'm determined to get my money back. I can't afford to loose £900, but am dreading it.


    Anyhoo, totals so far:
    3/15 SFD
    £57.96/£100 food budget
    5/30 items decluttered
    2/18 Exercise 3x weekly
    6/30 Meal plan and eat 3 times a day
    £0/£3 food bank
    Get all paperwork organised
    All a/c I do for others up to date
    7/30 Keep the flat looking straight, not the current 'a bomb's just gone off' look
    7/30 Update my budget spreadsheet daily
    7/30 NO TV


    Have a lovely evening all xxxxx

    Hi all
    Yet another spendy day today, left for work at 7.30am with a spotless kitchen and reasonably tidy house in general upon my return at 5pm i thought a bomb had gone off, dd(19) and ds(18) both had a day off today which they used to clutter up the lounge,use the bathroom without cleaning up, and finally decided to bake a chocolate cake, but they must have been exhausted (poor mites) with all that activity as they could not manage to load the dishwasher and tidy up the rest of the debris, they had also slopped all over the surfaces :mad:
    So dh and myself got changed and went to the local carvery and had a glass of something fortifying with dinner, upon are return the magic fairies had been in and tidied all the mess away.(must use silent treatment more often) :D
    Will try for SFD tomorrow.
    Night all

    Evening all,

    Hope everyone is well and had a good start to the week

    Today has been a spendy day as needed to get some foood in and petrol went to A$da for my shop and went over budget by £10.00 so very annoyed with myself !!!!

    I got another gym session in today so feeling very positive even if i can't walk :).

    My mood has been up and down today feeling very frustrated and annoyed with the money situation as well as other things and how we can't do the things we want but had a little nap and feel a little better .

    Not much else to report hoping the next two days will be SFD a long as i stay away from shops as i have my eye on a eye pallet from urban decay @ £37 and a lipstain from revlon @£7.99 so i have told myself i can get them next month if we stay OUT of the overdraft and budget :)

    Sorry for the rant sometimes it feels better to type it out as such

    Have a nice evening all

    NSD for me. Didn't get to sleep until 5am and turned off the alarm, so too late to go to the doctor's. Also have mouth ulcers - so probably the things I am putting to one side as I can't do anything about them are festering somewhere at the back of my mind.

    Trying to follow flylady this week - not aiming for targets, it's just a list and gives me someplace to start. Done 3 x 15 minutes and a bit extra, but sooo tired.

    Found a pack of part used foam pieces on the landing - well I knew they were there but they haven't really got a home - in the small bedroom with other odds and sods and then cleared out for the decorating. So may sit cutting out shapes for some craft type activities with the 4 year old next Friday. Thinking rabbit jumping jacks (vaguely remember how to do them but not sure I have butterfly clips) tulips on sticks (stuck in a plant pot or as a card with green foam wavy grass base and little baskets (used to make those every year at infant school, put straw in the bottom and then after final assembly would come back to find the Easter bunny had left us each a chocolate egg in our basket).

    Do we think Kat's theme for the month is responsible for today's weather - only ventured out since it stopped (don't have enough clean clothes to get another set soaked) and I only went to the pavement with the bin - really miserable weather (saves watering the garden - !**! should have left the top off the green bin - intending to use it as a water butt from now on).
    My mission in life is not only to survive,but to thrive and to do so with some Passion, some Compassion, some Humour and some Style.
