Hi Raindrops,
Another SFD and LTW today so still on target :T
Decided not to start on the decluttering until I break up from work next week so no progress there yet....but watch this space.
Almost the weekend :j
Hope everyone is well and spending as little as possible.
See you tomorrow.

Another spendy day - will they ever end!!!!!! Admittedly, today it was the weekly shop, so planned. But overall, there's too much being spent, so I shall rein it in and make better choices.
I've just done a workout with my sandbag. I thought it weighed 25lb, but I decided to weigh it and it's got heavier! It's now 26lb! The workout was hard - one where it is tough but doable at the time. but when I had to come down the stairs later, my legs were jelly. I love that feeling!!!!!!!! And the aim is to stop my legs looking like jelly, so worth keeping on with.NST March lion #8; NSD ; MFW9/3/23 Whoop Whoop!!!0 -

Not a SFD as I went to lunch with some friends, but had a lovely time so that helps, right?
I did manage exercise today with walking round town and also doing LOTS of gardening when I got home.0 -
Had a little spendy day today.
Start with the negatives: had to pay to post dad's present, and it won't even get there in time, spent a fiver on conditioner (normal stuff and an intensive one to rescue my dye-destroyed hair), and bought gin.
Good things: Dad's present was in the sale and got cashback on it, got a free cookie from Millies with my o2 code (actually second free cookie this week, took a screenshot of the code page to use again), half of supermarket shop was paid with points, and I got gin.
Day 8 of exercise done. Feel slightly bad for downstairs neighbours - we live in a first floor flat with very squeaky floorboards! Looking forward to getting home to parents this summer, going to drag my mum out for a walk every day!New graduate trying to get debt-free.

Oh my gosh, am I snoozy!
I haven't spent loads recently, but I haven't had an NSD since last week! And rather a lot of junk food has been consumed. Budgets are not totally busted but a fair bit of frittering has been happening, so something is going to have to give later on the month. That has to be the way...
Anyway, time for sleep!“Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goals.”

Hi all,
I just wanted to say I've been following your challenge (hope you don't mind) and think you're all doing so well!
I'm still very new to all this, and have just started a diary as suggested to keep me on track, but would love to take part in a future challenge if ok.
Thanks for the inspirationx

Oh Dear. I am sick! Just checking in to warn you I might be sleeping in tomorrow and not getting up for hours. I had a day sleep for three hours and am constantly sneezing, blocked nose, dizzy head - however so is Mummy so perhaps too much sugar all round last weekend? Whoops!
Booked tomorrow off work so intend on doing not a lot.
Case for my new MacBook Air arrived today and it's very pretty but perhaps a little too big to keep as travelling with it might become a nightmare which was the ultimate aim of getting it... so this is a proper case - the shell for it ( over protective much) shall arrive soon so I might be able to just use that and get a simple neoprene case instead of this hard backed one. Oh the decisions!. Lol!
So clearly my troubles are REALLY important at the moment! Ha!
I will read over posts tomorrow, comment appropriately and authoritatively question decisions (haha) if I am not dead.
Thank you and good night!!“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.
