Another NSD - yippee! :T
A good day at work; a good eating and moving day; a relaxing evening ahead.
Today was payday so tomorrow is money shuffle day. Tomorrow is also the last food shop day of April. Then it's just 3 days til the weekend! By which time we'll be into a new month, a new challenge and new enthusiasm to kick the debt monster into touch.

Evening All,
Have been MIA for a few days due to more family days out and me being too tired to get my laptop out!! But managed an SFD yesterday and today. Back at work today after 2 weeks, and already I don't feel like I was ever away!!
Managed to finally get my budget done, have decided that it's too complicated to try and work with all my bills as my bank hold back the money for them, so I can't touch it anyway. Have set up a cash only budget which is based solely on the money that I have access to, and May is going to be a lean month!! On the upside, my friend I do the accounts for has got a work colleague who wants me to do hers, so she is coming round on Wed evening to hand over everything to me. So that will be a small amount of extra cash coming in.
Anyhoo, totals so far:
14/15 SFD
£104.57/£100 food budget
6/30 items decluttered
4/18 Exercise 3x weekly
27/30 Meal plan and eat 3 times a day
£0/£3 food bank
Get all paperwork organised - DONE
All a/c I do for others up to date
28/30 Keep the flat looking straight, not the current 'a bomb's just gone off' look
27/30 NO TV

Congrats to Stewby!!! That's fantastic news!!!
Kat - please don't feel you have to apologise - that's big stuff happening in your life... and we always know you are never far away!!! Let us know what you decide and how things progress... They do say when one door closes another one opens... I admire your bravery and at some point I need to make that same call... but it scares me so much!!!
Wrapping up the end of April and sneaked in a crafty 1.5 hours overtime, and will be adding a couple in on 30th too which means I should hit my 20 hour target!!! Hoorah!!!
Night for now everyone x

Congratulations Stewby :j :j :j
I spent today as I was absolutely knackered when I got home. I bought a pizza. I don't feel guilty as I just wasn't up to cookingI did have a burst of energy this morning and did some exercise this morning. I have been feeling really out of sorts lately, so hopefully this will pass? Anyway, I get paid in 3 mins, so at least my totals will go down :T Take care everyone and keep going :T

Lunch out yesterday with work was fine but I was slightly annoyed at the end of it. I had tap water to drink and picked the cheapest thing on the menu (£4.95) so when the bill came I had £6 ready - my cost and a tip. They then decided to split the blooming thing - "Oh we can all put a tenner in" :mad: I did that (VERY begrudgingly) but one of the lovely ladies gave me £3 back later because she didn't think that was fair. One of the less lovely ladies had the cheek to say "Oh, yours brought the average price down" with no trace of irony :eek:
Still, onwards and upwards. It's a lovely sunny day so I have a load of washing to go out before I head to work and this weather will get my exercise done for today too as I'll do a load of walking.[STRIKE] It'll be another SFD too [/STRIKE]0
