    Evening NMC. These weeks are flying by aren't they. Well done on the no chocolate/biscuits/sweets days. Do you walk most of your steps just going about your daily routine or do you go to the gym? I'm sure you've said but I can't remember :o xx
  • Thanks Tea.

    When I was younger I couldn't wait to be 18, my mum always said don't wish your life away after 21 it goes quick so true.

    I am trying, could do better I do have a raging sweet tooth. Mostly through walking, its quicker to get to places and I am lucky to live near the school, train station, supermarkets, retail park all no more than 15 mins walk at the most.

    I do enjoy clubbercise and pilates but not been to clubbercise for a while with work and girls but need to get back I miss it. I would like to join a gym but they are quite expensive and not sure if I will get my monies worth, something to consider once I know about my job.

    Have a fun Friday

  • Morning Friday,

    Really must get going and start to organise and clean the chaos which is my house. Washing to catch up on too and to sort my budget out for March pay. Need to call at morribobs for some bits. My weekly entertainment budget for this week is £24.00 I have £4 left over from this week but need a new sweeping brush, mine has snapped in half. Living the dream ...

    2 sleeps till payday. I plan to refresh my budget for the month ahead and need to consider mothers day and Easter school holidays.

    Booked Sunday lunch at a local pub for mothers day, I also need to send a sponsor to a friend who is doing the three peaks before me, so will sort this on payday.

    Bank account stands at a rather miserable - £3.79!

    That's it another busy day at work tomorrow and suspect I will have to do some over the weekend too to catch up.
