    ha ha yes indeed. I might (just might) have been exuding vibes that I needed a little attention before losing my will to live

    steps today - 5100 - managed a lunchtime walk
    veggie - no - same hotel same burger
    NSD - literally nothing to spend on
    health - bit worn out - I hate being away

    saving:no
    cleaning:no (although I did message home, and there was a rush to put the bins out)
    I think I saw you in an ice cream parlour
    Drinking milk shakes, cold and long
    Smiling and waving and looking so fine

    steps - 6100 - had a walk this morning into town - autumnal and lovely
    LSD - just some croissants and pastries from the shop
    Not veggie - had left over ready chicken curry to
    weight - feels like a bit over - but not surprising as have not been good

    save/make - was pleased I walked into town in the morning and got a free coffee from Mr W at the cost only of £2 almond croissants - so not really MSE but not totally spendthrift

    clean/fix- just lightwight kitchen cleaning

  • Love how your diary is going Mark with your big monthly update and your daily 'life' updates, such a simple approach but keeps you posting regularly. I'm a pain for updating my diary and then not coming back for a couple of weeks.

    Thank you. Yes me too. It’s definitely helping with the NSD and don’t be stupid type decisions. Not really helping with veggie/health. But they are the victim at the moment of a really busy patch at work and I will get to them. Just they need an injection of effort and time. Whichever way works for you

    thank you BCNS - I would but its a bit plagiarised - I think the original was
    "To do is to be - Plato
    To be is to do - Sartre
    Doobie Doobie Do - Sinatra
    Scooby dooby do - well doh!!

    Thank you Alicia - yes wearing it down month by month. My mid month check is showing all good against the budgets - but couple of things running a little high, but not yet over

    I updated my signature to show progress through to middle of this year (early July) and knocking away at it a chunk every month - although I am a bit variable on the OD but I'm netting that off against regular savings balance so looks worse than it is - when those mature should take a chunk out of either the CC or the debt - my heart says the CC, my head says the debt as that would save £100+ interest next year
