  • Morning peeps,

    Oh it is freezing today!! Had ice on the inside of my car this morning, a quick good search shows that this may not be as major an issue as I thought. Apparently I might just need to clean my car and drive with the window open more than I do :p

    I'll give that a go, going to look for a good valet place to take the car. Also need to clear out my boot, it is a disaster in there :rotfl:

    Will do that tomorrow!

    In work today from 8am to 4pm.

    Today I need to;

    * Do some work
    * Check SBCC
    * Check funds
    * Post Harris Tweed bag I sold on Facebook
    * Visit my besties wee boy, he is 7 today
    * Get a birthday card and £20

    That's pretty much it, will pop back on later.

    Dxxx

  • Wow I have really been neglecting this diary, 12 days since my last update!

    So whats been happening with me, not much really :p

    Been waiting on payday so that I could sort the funds out, now that that's done I have no money haha!

    Well I do have a little bit but it's all budgeted for.

    This month I have saved;

    * £400.00 - My Home Fund (total £800.00)
    * £300.00 - Mallorca Fund (total £313.00)

    Been spending a bit too much on the SBCC again so that needs to be reigned in, although the Boots sale is apparently this week so if I can get some bargains I might just pick some up and pay them off at the end of this month. I only buy stuff I will use throughout the year so it's more of an investment really :rotfl:

    Diet wise I've been sticking to my Exante plan, have 3 products a day with water, black tea and coffee. Only managed to lose 7lbs in the last 3 weeks though so not overly happy with the results of that :mad: Hoping for a much better loss this week. Some others have had the same with this diet, my body is holding on to all that fat but soon it will have to let it go like Elsa from Frozen - cue the singing!

    Falling behind with my surveys so need to do better there, I have no excuse really I just need to set some time each day to keep on top of them.

    Hope you are all well.

    I don't know 1/2 a stone in 3 weeks doesn't sound too bad to me. I'd take it.
    Well done with the savings!
    If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

    Emergency fund 100/1000
    Buffer fund 0/100
    Debt Free (again) 25/072025
  • Thanks doingitanyway.

    I need to just be happy with that, not giving up that's for sure!
