Hi all...

Hoorah - SFD number 2 in the bag! Saved money by eating some of last months lentil curry from the freezer and some soya burgers I cooked up yesterday. Odd combo I grant you haha!

£1.50 Tesco voucher in the post received from points Every penny counts I reckon!!!

Loving the idea of eco therapy too mothernerd. Getting out into nature is something I need to do more of - it always makes me feel grounded and revitalised.

Have a nice evening!

Well lets get this over and done with.:eek:

Had a lovely afternoon off yesterday and did abs nothing, lay on sun lounger in garden with a rather large glass of wine. So chilled out it was lovely, then little dog walk and the naughty bit got an Indian takeaway on the way home. Shame on me 8.50 spent and lost a nsd. Starting on August naughty step hope it is reinforced as weighed myself this morning and surprise surprise yes put on weight, 13st!!!!!!!!!! Never been this heavy in my life even when pregnant. Going to make a proper effort now.:A

Well my nsd will reach 4/20 today.

Feel brighter but will bear your advice about Cruse on board folks, very true it is a couple of months down the line when grief hits you.

Going to get back to giving blood, always used to but was anaemic last few times. Years since I have done it hey might help in the weight loss:rotfl:

Hello everyone,



Friday, hooray!



Lovely to hear about all the people thinking about giving blood - L_D you have really started something!



Calling14 - your afternoon yesterday sounds like it was lovely and just what you need after a difficult time - keep looking after yourself!



I've done a grocery shop today and got some petrol, so no FD - and had to lose a SFD yesterday as had to pay the deposit for a Christmas do I'm going to - can't believe it is that time already!



Today I am grateful for an evening spent with friends last night, sunshine to dry the washing today, a late shift for work that has given me time to do the shopping and get a few things done.

Well giving blood appointment booked for Monday night - tad nervous long time since I have been. Thanks L_D for putting idea in my head.

Magic cat, thanks wine and sun perfect remedy. Love washing drying in just over an hour.

Mothernerd, you are so right, its not just loss of someone, but all the hassle that goes with it. Don't get me started about some family members but that has been the most stressful part doubt if I will ever speak to one of mine ever again. Think I just need to get out and about in the fresh air more, perhaps I should get your maps. Hope you feel brighter soon.

Hi folks!

VERY glad it's the weekend - tomorrow will be a planned spendy day, off to Pizza hut with a friend (which will do the diet no good at all) and then a book signing. In between I need to clean, do a lot of my dissertation and sleep. So a busy weekend but hopefully a productive one. Calling, I think it was well deserved - nothing wrong with a treat every now and then. Hope it helped.

SFD 5/12
Exercise 4/16
Food £43.59/ £80 (till 15th August)
Petrol £20/£20

Just did long thread and then lost it when trying to "go advanced" to get a smiley face, aaarrrgggghhhh...........!

So here's the short version - will be awol over the weekend as going to pick up my mum who has NO INTERNET - gulp! Have another exercise day & another SFD to add to my tally today though, and have sorted old uniforms for DS so another bag for CS - 4 items on auction site now and one has a bid, yippee! Fingers crossed for the rest, want the items gone now....

Have a great weekend everyone, will try to check in Sunday evening if I'm not stuck on a motorway somewhere due to the predicted rubbish weather!

Today I am grateful for a lovely chat with a friend, for a walk with dd where she just chattered away non-stop, for dh cleaning the kitchen light fitting, for the rain (love the smell of it!), for having cds, books and dvds to sell.

Hi all,

HAPPY FRIDAY!! (Hooray!)

Abundant I received my £1.50 Tesc0 voucher today, every little certainly does help!

Found 21p under the carpet of my car- another minor win!

Lil spend today on Birthday/ welcome home banner, cards etc.. from my Birthdays budget.

2 miles walked, very quickly so can finally say that I have had an exercise session for the first time this month!

Calling - Great to hear that you are looking after yourself! x

Hope you all have a great weekend! Watch out for that tropical storm, seems a bit uncertain as to where/ when it's hitting (if at all!)

N'night x

Hi Guys,

Another SFD for me today :j hope to get at least one more over the weekend but probably need to do a top up shop and get some pet supplies.

Totals so far

SFD - 6/12 :T
Groceries - £39.09/£100 :T
Pets -£30.65/£50 :T
Personal - £6.50/£30 :T

Really feeling good so far this month. Budgets are doing well.

Work situation is nearly resolved. I am being made redundant in Oct and have been given a provisional settlement figure to look over. This is a bit more than I thought as they have included 6 weeks in lieu if notice even though I have been given about 3 months notice. I'm not arguing

When I finish work I am going to work on some house renovations and plan to be starting our new life sometime in 2015. This will be debt AND Mortgage free :j :j

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend and that the predicted storms don't cause anyone any damage.
