I did not manage to go to the gym I felt unwell and I had an early night. I feel better than I did yesterday today but still not 100%. I will be going to the gym today, also going to work to collect something. I have a coffee voucher so I will use it to treat myself in town.

I have no eggs left so a grapefruit, hash brown, a piece of salmon and baked beans will keep me going through a workout

So those are all my plans for today so far.

Happy Sunday everyone

I went to the gym and did my 30 minute workout.:T I felt better afterwards
Tomorrow I am doing a boot camp 45 minute class. :eek:
I booked a programme session for September

I saved my coffee treat for another day. I got a free supermarket coffee and drank it on the train instead :money:

The £8 credit I was chasing came. I appreciated it! :money:

I had a really good yellow sticker haul today. I have a love/hate relationship with YS shopping but today it was love as this haul will see me through for some time. Just over £56 of shopping for just over £16 :money:

Chicken Jalafrazi £4 to £1
Fresh cod fillets £11 to £2.75
Sundried toms £3.25 to 85p
Chicken burgers £3 to 75p
G/F sausages £3.20 to 80p
Organic sausages £3.25 to £1.35 X2
G/F sausages £3.20 to 60p X2
Corn on the cob £2.20 to 39P
4 pears £2.20 to 60p
Strawberries £3.20 to 80p X2
Baby leeks £2.10 to 49p
Asparagus £1.95 to 49p
Chicken thighs
(filleted) £3.70 to 99p


I used my coppers jar to buy chocolate

I also bought a stainless steel travel cup for £12.99 in TKma33. I don’t like the idea of using paper lined with plastic when I use a takeaway cup. It was £20 and is lovely. Also if I use my own cup in Ner0 I receive a free coffee after 5 stamps instead of 9 :money:

I like taking cold sausages and raw veggies as a packed lunch so that will save me money too. :money:

Tomorrow I will set new goals and review this week’s goals.
Happy Sunday folks

Looking good

That yellow sticker haul is seriously impressive. I never succeeded when I lived alone with it because I think I was too stuck on my meal plan. I wish I would have tried harder.

Well done on the £8 cash back. I may have missed it but did you get you PPI claims in. When I did it years ago I had to fill in forms then print them off and post. Now each one I have done has been an online form. So, so much easier.

Have a good week.

doingitanyway

Thanks guys And parsniphead is there a link to online PPI claims?

I have squirrels back in my loft. :eek: I saw one on my roof and then it disappeared. I was right all along. They are not mice. I think I saw the entry point today so I am going to have to deal with them this month, so my £100 to spend on my appearance cannot happen. In addition it might zero the whole of my Credit my Union savings. I don’t know how I will pay if it more. So be it. I will just have to find a way.

I will not panic!

For my appearance I will be doing the following:-

Heeling and cleaning my boots £15
Doing my eyebrows 0
Facial scrubbing and face mask 0
Buying a swimsuit (20), cap (5) flip
flops (5) so I can swim and steam £30
Facial wax strips £3
Wearing basic make-up 0
Pedicure (100) but reclaim 85 15

TOTAL TO SPEND ON APPEARANCE £63

I will also be having a yellow sticker (YS) month, setting myself a budget of £20 a week. I always budget for £150 a month on food, but easily spend £180… So if this experiment is a success I will save £100 here too.

I promise not to moan about having to shop for YS food too. I won’t.

Goals this month

Frog of the week
Get someone in to quote for removing squirrels and find a new roofer
Call my sister
Steam clean something!

Investment in health and wellbeing
Go to the gym 4 times for 35 minute workouts
Hospital tests

Financially fit in the future
Obtain a pension forecast
Phone NI line to discuss making up S/E contributions

Written correspondence of the week
Applying for PPI on 3 cards

Treat of the week
A medical pedicure and paying extra to paint my toes

I had a bad week last week. I’ve carried my failures forward. I am not going to review it or dwell on it. I just want to move forward

My mood is lowish but I am determined to have a good week. I hope you have a good week too

Hi, it might be worth trying your local council to see if they have a pest service? Our local one is £85 plus VAT if that helps with planning - a painful amount of money.
