Week 5 - Day 5

Evening diary.
Can't believe a month has gone by already since I started counting down the days and weeks :eek:
Where does the time go?
Been a bit naughty recently, eaten more choccy and biscuits than I probably should. Have a feeling my weight will go back up again :mad:
Trying to be careful with money. Was very impressed with myself earlier in the week. Made a sausage casserole using whoopsied veg. Never made one before and it actually tasted good

Week 5 - Day 7

Evening diary
I decided not to go on the wii fat today as don't really want to see the result it gives me :eek:
Can't believe another week I still over already, why does time go so much quicker when you get older :mad:
On the plus side I feel like I'm spending less money than usual, trying so hard not to buy junk food (not working too well at the moment as keep picking up cheap Easter eggs)
Need to give the bank accounts a once over in the morning, better check all the bills are being paid as normal
Night!

Week 7 - Day 3

Hello diary
Sorry I've not been on for a while, my head hasn't been in the best place for the last week or so
I'm feeling much better now though, so all is right with the world
So glad I've managed to lose another 2lbs :j not sure what my weight I sent now but it's still under 15st so that's good :j
Money wise we're still crawling along. One of the credit cards got up to its £1,000 limit :eek: so I'm currently trying to push that back down (car insurance payment for the year didn't help). Looks like the bonus coming in this month will be going on that.
Need to update on here more often, just wish I had better things to be adding every day.

Night diary!

Week 8 - Day 7

Hello diary.
Well it's been a busy week or so. We've been away on holiday for a few days.
I've been working flat out doing extra hours before the end of the tax year, because we haven't been getting tax credits I figured I might as well get in as many hours as I could (we know we've been over paid but they can't take back any more than the amount they overpaid us)
End of March was bonus payment month but it wasn't as good as it has been these last few years hopefully next year is better.
Can't believe Easter is over already, it'll soon be Christmas at this rate :rotfl:

Week 10 - Day 1
Shame on me, I don't seem to be trying to get on here as often as I should do.
I'm trying to be good, going to eat better starting tomorrow. Now the kids are back at school I'm trying not to nibble in the daytime.
Overtime has dried up at work again so ploughing through my online earnings instead to try and earn some extra pennies.
Credit card hass taken a bit of a hammering recently, am dreading the debt totals by the end of the year I know they won't be earth shattering but we really need to make headway on getting rid of it once and for all.
Better get to bed, can't believe the kids will be off school for a week in just under 6 weeks :eek:
They always seem to be on holiday!

Week 10 - Day 2

Evening diary.
I remembered to come back although it is last minute and I am in bed dozing off.
Just remembered my savings jar is still going strong :j can't believe it's been going nearly 4 months :eek: there must be a fair bit in it now.
Going to brave going back on the wii fat tomorrow, it's been a few weeks and I know I've been naughty
Better get to sleep, night diary

Week 10 - Day 4

Hello diary
Well it seems the hot weather has started (I don't cope to well with heat :mad: ) so tonight is going to be a second night of tossing and turning, struggling to sleep while I contemplate smothering OH with a pillow just to silence his snoring :rotfl:
Overtime at work is still on the low side think I need to find a new job!
Will weigh in on the wii fat tomorrow, better see how much weight I've gained :eek:
Bedtime for me, I'm super tired after last nights lack of sleep

How did weigh in go xx

Week 11 - Day 3

Hey diary, hi Abba :wave:
I did weigh myself and I was relieved to find I'd only gained 1lb despite being very naughty. Need to start being good! (Can't remember the figure on the screen but my bmi is still below 30
I'm still struggling to get on here more often, money is not going to great at the moment.
I am struggling a bit with depression at the moment (stress at work isn't helping).
A while back one of the kids had an ADOS assessment and has been placed on the ASD pathway. I think that's suddenly sunk in and knocked me back a bit.
Couple of people have mentioned DLA but I don't think we would qualify. We've never claimed anything beyond child benefit and a small amount of tax credits as our household income is quite high.
I'm going to grave writing down how much we owe in total (the credit cards have gone up by a couple of thousand which is making me feel bad)
I wish life was easier at the moment, I just want to feel motivated to get off this flaming sofa! :mad:
Going to weigh myself on the wii fat again to see if it's changed since last week.
