NSK; The April Power Shower.

Fmess

I would definitely be up for a fitness/weight loss thread if anyone knows how to set one up? I feel like I could ramble on all day about diet atm but appreciate many of you may not want to read it :rotfl:

Spend day today, again, spent £3.05 on a drink and a cake and £4.25 on a new oven glove. Managed to use on old N4xt voucher to get some desperately needed new slippers and resisted buying the multitude of gorgeous dresses I saw :T

Hi everyone, hope your having a good weekend. I haven't been on lately, as have been feeling totally knackered by the time I finish cooking ect after work. Anyway, I've had two spend days since last been on, bin bags and toilet rolls. Cannot wait till Tuesday as that's payday, although I have that whopping gas and leccy bill from last month to pay now, so will very soon be penniless. Well enjoy the rest of your weekend all and keep going!

save £1025/£500:D
- 14/15 sfds
- groceries £245/£200:(
- 11/10 30 mins+ walks

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

SFD yesterday. Stayed in and watched films all day. No plans to go out today either so have claimed a SFD for today too. Popped into Mr As on the way home on Friday evening for bread and milk and managed to spend £22 - shopping with Hubby is like shopping with kids!

I've made a thread to challenge myself to lose this weight, would anybody like to join me?

Post daily: 27/30
Decluttering: 100+/100
Jobs applied for: 13
Exercise: 18/20
SFD: 15/15
Food: £125.09/£150
Petrol: £62.59/£100
Misc spends: £156/£160

Spends yesterday (all added to the pots above) were:

• £5.50 at Fat Club
• £27.31 to fill up the car with petrol. I used 4p off per litre at Te$co to get £1.06 off and also had a £5 fuel voucher from their customer research programme.
• £1.70 at Sainsbugs (two tins of tinned fruit) Good grief that stuff is expensive
• £14.12 at Aldi.

The reason my petrol budget was so high this month was because we were going to be going to visit family. That didn't happen but I still spent over £60. That's been an eye-opener so I'll need to budget properly for fuel next month. I think that by the 30th I'll be over my spends budget by about a tenner, but that could definitely be worse as I'm bad for small spends. This month I would have been in budget had I not decided to replace my foundation. (Which I haven't used since I bought it )

One thing I am really pleased about is that I'm under budget for food. My budget for next month will be weekly as I'm temping so that's how I'm being paid, but I know now that with careful shopping I can be under budget and still buy the occasional treat to stop Mr Mooo feeling so deprived!

Not declaring an exercise day for today yet or a SFD as I'm off to meet friends later. We're going to a free exhibition but that might lead to coffee

Morning.

I am hoping for a SFD today but won't count my chickens just yet. DS has football training then a cubs parade and DD is riding, they go back to school tomorrow so we will be getting organised for that too.

I spent yesterday but only £4.49 on DD's photos from her residential this month, there was a craft and food market on in our town and the kids asked for lots but were told no.

I cycled yesterday so clocked up another exercise session. I counted up my SFD's and had miscounted I am actually at 10 at the moment.

I have a big chicken in the slow cooker which will feed us today, tomorrow and lunch tomorrow too. The sun is coming out now so hopefully the washing will go out, I got 3 loads dry outside yesterday.

eek spendy day!

have spent-
£10.99 on paloma faith's album (will resell on ebay once its on itunes)
£61 on new kindle paperwhite (doubled up £20 nectar vouchers to get £40 off and used £8 off £40 shop)
£3.99 on cover for kindle
£26.50 in pah on collar, id barrel and furminator comb. the comb was £26 :eek: but it is absolutely amazing and cannot believe how much fur it has removed! i have a long haired cat and it is everywhere at the minute so hoping this helps to improve it!

the only things not budgeted was the pah spends but only need £16 for that as can get £10 out of the cats bank account (he has his own account named after him :rotfl:)

Hope you all had great weekends.


Spendy day yesterday but I managed my 6 SFD in a run! So proud of myself as I didn't think it possible at the start of April


Looks like most of my items on Ebay will sell just need to get on top of the exercise and assignments!! I have planned exercise and diet into May and the end of this month and will be checking out Fmess new thread!


Roll on payday!

Not an NSD as bought stuff from ice1and that weighs a lot and is the same price as aldee, but kept within set amount, so am happy, and my body will thank me on Tues when I go to aldee and it's not a back-breaking amount to carry.

Food total will go over this month as I'd like to use the £5 off voucher, but it's been a 5 shop month because of when my shopping day falls. May will be 4 so I hope to stay in budget...

Payday tomorrow :T.

March was rather stressful and stress-inducing and I was definitely a tortoise and not a hare; April has been more of a dripping tap than a power shower; May...? Ooooh, we'll have to see what delights kat lays out for us!

Evening everyone...

Like a few on here - I'm not going to reach my SFD target but not to worry - will set a more realistic one next month...

Got in another 2 gym sessions - think I need to change my circuit as I don't seem to be improving shape wise at the mo (nothing o do with the fish and chips I ate on friday night haha!!! - sabotage!).

Pay day has come and gone and I've done my budgets etc... Love the feeling of a brand new shiny month!!!
