Working the numbers 2019 style

mark55man

you could argue the same about all ready meals - but I agree the vegan meals are particulalry not great yet. however DS1 is turning out a series of lovely meals - cooking largely from scratch (with help of Mr L pasta sauces) plenty of veg

5,200 steps today - most in IKEA
a HSD (high spend day) - shopping at IKEA
not veggie - meatballs
paid for alcohol (went out after IKEA with DD1 who lives near IKEA)

clean something - sorted out back of the car which had got a bit clutterd and did a full load dishwasher
make/save some money - YS shop on way back from DD1 - completed forms for DS2
junk something - threw away some old books

but has to be said, mainly watched tennis and cricket

3,100 steps today
a HSD (high spend day) - Morrison's and Petrol
veggie until supper - ready meal

clean/junk something - small tidy up of some work stuff in my home office
make/save some money - completed claim forms for some health insurance I'd been putting off (frog eating), more work on PIP and UC for DS2 - nearly there 5 days to go

doingitanyway

I like clean/junk something AND
make/save money as categories.

Well done on chasing the health insurance. I did this last week and the money is in my account already

2900 steps today - just at my desk then sofa - busy day)
NSD yay
Packed lunch all week so far
Not veggie again

clean/junk something - Bins and recycling. Nit much but all I got
make/save some money - finished rounding up numbers for tax returns but don’t quite know if money saving or costing!!

Early start tomorrow may not report back as got an evening do

The tax returns avoid fines. I’d take that as a save

mark55man

very true - although avoiding £100 fine 8 months in the future is a stretch for yesterday's accomplishment, but I'll take it :-). TBH yesterday evening was a washout otherwise. I'll need to do better to try for freebies/proper extra earning/saving activities (like ebay ...) not just taking diary credit for stuff I was doing anyway

just catching up! haha. Love the whole clean/save idea, seems to be working well for you. I see the steps target is still prominent in the daily updates I managed to do 3000 steps in the office yesterday which meant I was walking about back and forward to the desk to let people in coz my work pal was been lazy! haha.

mark55man

Lol thanks Dan.

10100 steps - yay always do more in the smoke without really trying
HSD - work do so only just heading home
Veggie until 3pm Greggs and 8pm tandoori platter
Not alcohol free either

Clean something not really been at home so I’ll pass today
Save/make. Well although I’ve mentioned before today OH and I between us closed down all outstanding actions on for DS2 PIP and UC. Only time will tell

mark55man

3100 steps - its early but I'm not moving!!
NSD - except for OH to go the cinema
Veggie planed until OH came home with some YS curries, and I was tempted
alcohol free today

Clean something - cleared the surfaces - my job which needed doing all week
Save/make. - DS1 GF has now been employed for a month and of her own volition offered to restart paying rent - I was going to give her a month to build up her savings, but she says she doesn't need it and I'm not going to argue - a real result and I'm very grateful
