    I saw my Virgin phonebill this afternoon and nearly died of fright- £71 for one month!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1


    I rang them and explained that I transferred to this system assuming that my free weekend and evening calls are going to continue not that I would be charged for them. They were really nice and moved me onto a new plan where I pay for weekend and evening calls and I am only charged £19.50 for broadband, tv etc too. Thank goodness! I then sorted my notes and mowed half of the grass and also cleaned my window sills.

    8 of my items fleabay today in about 3 hours. I am keeping finger, toes and everything crossed as I could do with some money for savings as am poor this month. Please, please please let me make some money.

    I really could kick myself for buying all this tat years ago. I just used to spend money like it was water. Now I watch every penny and really am upset at how much I wasted.


    3 items have sold I have made £38. Hooray. Remind me, never ever to waste money on tat EVER again.

    So far I have completed several of my tasks for the holiday:


    Put all of my upstairs notes into order week one and two Done
    List all excess clothes on fleabay weekend one and two Done
    List v expensive clothes on Aesop's recommended sites Done
    Make garden lovely week one and on going Done
    Get healthy and go for a few walks Done


    Today rather than going to work and tidying desk area and bringing folders home I decided to declutter my kitchen. Blimey it took ages and is so minimalist now. A horrid job but glad I did it. It's something I have been meaning to do for ages. Lots of stuff has been packed or binned. Clear counters are important. A tidy envirnonment is a tidy mind and all that.:j


    £7 from fleabay sales. I am giving all unsold stuff to charity to declutter. No faffing about if it didn't sell I can't be bothered to list it. Surprised as I had 5 watchers on the item but hey ho.

    Right I have been inspired by Stereochild to get off my butt and get some healthy food in and then start tidying inside of kitchen drawers. A fate worse than death but I will give it a shot.

    Actually I did. Yum. Thanks. I crawled into shower and was just thinking of being lazy then remembered that there is no nice food in house.
    I wonder if Daniel Craig ever has a lazy day?
    Do you think he minds having so many pictures taken?

    I'm sure he has plenty of lazy days :)
    I imagine hes used to all the photos but probably doesn't appreciate the paparazzi ones :cool:

    Are you going to out to buy nice food? :EasterBun

    For the first time in my life I am going to stick to a diet. I am fat now (9.5 stone when I have been under 8 stone for most of my life) no idea how I got so large so I am going to be healthy and avoid fat. I have to get a healthy food shop. Yuk. My life is over. I bet Daniel Craig doesn't have fat days.

    Unless you are 3 feet tall I very much doubt you could be called actually fat :cool:
    Have you heard of myfitneespal?
    You can use it to log everything you eat and drink and any exercise you do. You can find out how many calories etc you should eat everyday if you want to lose (or gain) weight.
    They have a forum which is very supportive too :)

    I bet he does have fat days. He has people looking at him all the time afterall :eek:
