So it begins... Change of lifestyle needed

It is, but we are reliant on technology so it'll happen sometimes.

Today I made little trousers and bibs for the two new babies in the family for their Xmas presents, and finished a practice pair of mitts. Which worked well so off to get wool tomorrow to crochet them again for a couple people tomorrow.

Been down with parents this weekend catching up with family, being fed lots of food so got to also go to the gym tomorrow!!

Keep a look out in your local CS and also on Freecycle as often wool appears on there. Very impressed as to how you sorted your car out!

I know what you mean Lemon Tree. I seem to be better in the summer when I can take cous cous and salad but in the winter I like warm lunches but with no access to microwave I have to buy.

Have you thought of trying a food flask? They're fab at keeping food hot, last one i got from poundstretchers was about a fiver

Oooh no, I used to have a flask but never really took to using it.

Quick update as it's late.

I'm annoyed with myself! Been a spendy weekend, trip to family with bf and his kids meant money to entertain and lunches. It was too expensive (took £50 had 23 left in purse, but some of the money I was meant to pay nan with and I didn't write down exact figure do my buying balance is not going to be correct so will need to keep a very close eye this month.

Had to set up dd for car insurance and car tax as Iv not hot savings to pay in full, this I want to change for next year.

Also due renewal of professional status do I can keep doing my job.

Good news is I have taken 3 nights of gaby sitting over next two weeks so extra cash I'll use towards paying off debts.

Also as I got my results for masters degree (distinction) my mum and nan have given me some cash as a well done. So Iv paid debt to bf off a bit more which is flights to NewYork for his special birthday next year. He didn't want to take it as he said it was for me to treat myself with, as I explained new York is a huge treat!!! Any Christmas money and birthday money will be used for this trip too. Nothing is going on credit card!
