    Thanks debtaghh my healthy eating is still going ok. Can't say I haven't been tempted to eat junk but I need to stay on the wagon so to speak lol.

    Yay payday and I've made some more payments :D

    Have now moved into the next thousand down. Not a massive deal but another step closer for us. Little things like this give me a boost. Only 2 more payments on our short term goal too. Then this money will be added elsewhere and speed things up a little. It won't make a huge difference but a difference at least. :D

    Back to work and more rain but I'm happy right now so that's a good thing.

    Evening all

    Back to work and it's been manic. The year 11 students are like :eek: at the moment. Their behaviour is atrocious. I think it's mainly down to the amount of stress on them as their GCSEs are fast approaching. I actually feel sorry for them as the pressure from every angle is enormous. They are also worried about the move onto post 16 education.

    They see us as a bit of a safety net and it's better the devil you know. They will be fine I'm sure as every year it's the same scenario. It's hard not to get attached to a lot of them as ive seen them grow from the age of 11 and very innocent and shy. My how things change :rotfl:

    I'm still positive this end and still on the healthy eating wagon. The wheels haven't fallen off yet :rotfl:

    Debt wise we're still plodding. So it's onwards and downwards with the debt :D

    Hope everyone is well

    Great news on the weight loss and debt busting. :)

    Moisturiser: I use Bio oil, which I thought was a bit on the expensive side when I bought it but it goes down very slowly so a 'large' bottle costing about £18 last autumn is still 3/4 full. I use it about half the time as a night time moisturiser, or of the weather's going to be hard on my skin I use it under daytime moisturiser as well. You'd need something with SPF as well but it's really helped my skin which gets dry and had decided to start looking older without my permission.
    I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)
    The sun's been out and I think I’m solar powered (Onebrokelady)

    Fashion on the Ration 2025: Fabric 2, men's socks 3, Duvet 7.5, 2 t-shirts 10, men's socks 3, uniform top 0, hat 0, shoes 5 = 30.5/68
    2024: Trainers 5, dress 7, slippers 5, 2 prs socks (gift) 2, 3 prs white socks 3, t-shirts x 2 10, 6 prs socks: mostly gifts 6, duvet set 7.5 = 45.5/68 coupons
    20.5 coupons used in 2020. 62.5 used in 2021. 94.5 remaining as of 21/3/22

    :rotfl: Definitely relate to this :rotfl:

    Hi Cherry and thanks for the heads up on the Bio oil. Will definitely be getting myself some and giving it a try.

    :o Wow I've just realised how long since I've updated my diary :o

    Been sooooo busy it's unreal work and Home life have been hectic to say the least. Had an MOT at the GP and he flagged up an issue with a mammogram result :eek: Off to hospital today for further investigation. Please God it's nothing sinister. Will think positively and fingers crossed I will be smiling when I return. Had an issue a few years back and all ended well so that's a bonus.

    A whole week off now so a nice chill out time for me. No chance of sitting in the garden it's thundering and lightening.

    Debt wise we're still chugging along, slowly growing forwards instead of backwards at least. :)

    Need to update figures although I doubt it will make too much difference to our totals.

    Will update on how I get on today :eek:

    I survived. I've been pushed, pulled and prodded all afternoon all ended with a lovely biopsy :eek: Absolutely shattered now. Need to return next week for results but mustn't panic in the mean time (she says)

    Anyway we still have rubbish weather, raining but very muggy.
    I plan to do nothing now for the rest of the evening. Have a cuppa and the TV remote. Been looking for something decent to watch but am struggling.
