That's the best way, rushing only leads to mistakes, my ds2 is finally learning this after me making him rewrite his homework for years :rotfl:

Happy Friday and happy pay day!

It's frustrating when I get paid on Friday 24th as it's a day earlier (supposed to be 25th but obviously needs to be a weekday). It means I have to wait until Monday for the 25th's SO's to process. So I have made the payments I can which are manual and that leaves me tantalisingly close to sub 30k. The loan payments will wipe those pesky 3's out in one foul swoop but I must be patient. Not a strong point of mine. I'll also be making another £200 payment to the CCV however again, I need to wait.

I've lost 10lb which is such a motivator to lose the rest and I even actually feel like doing a bit of exercise. Maybe that's because I am loaded with cold and couldn't do it at the moment! I'm toying with the idea of doing some strength training and building up some muscle. I have the figure that would look good in that sense as I'm of the athletic type and I think I would like it.

Meals next week consist of lots of soup and chicken/rice to try and continue with the weight loss/healthy eating way.

Looking good and congratulations on the 10lbs! I seem to have gained that over the past 2 months!

I am now £89 off sub 30k. I could use my savings to make this happen today but the loan payments are due in the next couple of days which will take £660 off so I'm not going to be silly and use savings just to see sub 30k when it will happen of its own accord anyway. As much as I'd like to....!


Well this weekend I've been up and down due to a bl00dy cold. One minute I don't feel too bad, then next my sinus' are killing and I feel like I've been punched in the face and the teeth. So today I'm working from home trying to stay warm and keep myself dosed up. Despite the sun shining gloriously, it's bl00dy freezing so I've resorted to putting the heating back on for a bit.


Last night I made a Thai Green chicken soup as they do a gorgeous one at work and my goodness it's spicy. It should do my sinus' good too! I've also made a pasta soup which is delicious. So food wise I'm well stocked up and hope to make it through the month without overspending, obviously!


DH bought DS a new bed cover and curtains so I'm going to get them on ebay as he no longer wants them up. Also a couple of canvasses that cost a fortune can go on ebay too.


Hopefully a nice, quiet week with few spends and healthy vibes.

I nearly forgot. I managed to get my tv, bb, phone service all upgraded for cheaper than what I pay now. I haggled the one off fee down from £50 to £20 which I'm much happier with.

Amazing! Cannot wait to come back and see how you are doing x

So close! I'd be just the same wanting to use the savings :rotfl:

That Thai soup sounds delicious!
