sarahevie's single quest to mortgage freedom

sarahevie1

had a mooch around our city centre with the girls today. Cheap option, browsing the window displays. Experiencing the last of the Christmas lights etc.

I keep thinking of a spending diary but I know I wont keep it up and get bored with it. I dread to think how much Ive spent on takeaways last year
I am going to try and walk more. (used to run but hurt my knee)

Good luck with it, I'm doing really badly. Still have loads of Christmas food in. For example lunch today consisted of Christmas pudding for dessert. I've been having Cadbury miniature heroes with every cup of tea. Think I'll wait til Mon when I'm back at work.

I dread to think how much I've spent in the cafe, I'm not one for takeaways as I honestly never enjoy them. I don't mind a Chinese but they are soooo expensive and the pizza, burger type takeaways make me feel sick.

I've had two mince pies for lunch. Not my finest form of money saving!

We've got a bit of chocolate left, but I've bagged it up for the food bank rather than open it.

I always think best to eat all the chocolate asap to get it out of temptation's way

It's terrible isn't it. I'm amazed I've only put on a couple of pounds to be honest the amount of rubbish I've eaten this last fortnight.
