  • Lately you have sounded so positive. Nice :)

    It's cutting the day at work I'm sure so a lot less stressed, ill all the time but just have that "me" day so I think it really helps to take the pressure off. :D

    I have managed to get some home things sorted/ repaired as well so suppose I have a tidy place, tidy mind type thing going on....;)

    Plus I have been thinking what can i splurge on with the savings .. not that i did splurge but its good to think about splurging lol

    You've come such a long way. Well done. It must feel nice to have savings like that.

  • Jeans a disaster - although wearable potentially hands not blue so something at least. might do a second round of dye if only to learn from my mistake.

    Need to make a plan to better look after self.

    Need to have a tidy up and look at what is in the food cupboards for stocks. Freezer very much empty now apart from some spicy wedges but who knows they could form part of this weeks meal plan.

    Still have a lot of stuff - from god knows where - Thought about deleting the 3bay account app from phone actually so i don't buy anything.

    So a to do list is on its way.

    Get rid of washing machine
    Throw away the old handbag
    Build my burning bin / Fire bin and burn paperwork
    Sort out for selling if i can be bothered.

    Keep up with the beauty cream regime a week in and i'm bored of that.

    I have a mini break with friends end of the month so look forward to that.

    Have a lot of work to do so hoping to get rid of the lurgy so I can crack on and get that out the way.

    Thought about using dried milk as a saving an been thinking of other ways to save more.

    Spicy wedges with a nice HM dip - yum!
  • Oh red - I never thought of that !! you are clever. I could even do a pulled pork mexican style thing. Suitably inspired lol thank you .

    I NEED to start cooking more and looking after myself better so i think food will be my starting point.

    I have had a major financial setback due to personal reasons relating to family.

    So I need a SERIOUS re-budget, I am not in a position to go back to work full-time so I will need to tightly control my expenditure.

    it's doable, but i'm gutted so back on the major scrimp now. I guess it was lucky I did the spending and fell of the wagon when i had the money :-)

    I have been listening to motivational video's but I need a plan when I can think straight.

    Here's to a good weekend for all.

  • Re-budget done last night and it very strict so am bit concerned about that.
    I am going ( i hope ) to clean and try and get some focus from somewhere. I feel incredibly down today so will do what i can to lift myself back up to where i need to be.

    Not sure if I should start 3baying again although I currently have a complainer trying it on so that's put me right off :(

    Lets see how today pans out.

    Oh no, just when everything was going so well.

    Maybe a bit of cleaning but then a treat.

    Take care :)
