    And we are at Friday again :smile: 
    So good news, managed to get to the £10 on a survey site so that has gone off to the target loan (forgotten to update my signature before I typed this, will do it in a mo) so that is now £25 left (also realised in Tuesday post I put £30.....I may have been over excited :lol: ).  Also have around £3 waiting to be confirmed so will keep plugging away. 
    Will be a bit of a spendy day today :disappointed: horse is having shoes and its a team night out tonight, double :disappointed: However they are both budgeted for for this month and will try my hardest to get away with minimum spends tonight, the old trick of get an early round in and then try and avoid any more will be deployed :lol: 
    Also weighed this morning as, due to mentioned night out, diet is on hold today (possibly tomorrow.......depends on suffering levels) so I wanted to have a good point to refer to on Monday, I'm really hoping I don't do too much damage and plan to be good tomorrow but also not too hard on myself if body craves carbs, Sunday back to strict! 1lb off from Monday so hopefully will maintain that at least on official weigh day.......
    Weather is looking bad again this weekend (getting bored of typing that now!) but will be trying to get as much done as I can, having built momentum on everything over the last 2 months I don't want to stop now. 
    Hope everyone's week has been kind to them and that you all have nice plans for the weekend, if you're getting the bad weather too stay safe :smile:
  • Hi, 

    Just caught up with your progress, well done on both the 'fiend' loan and also the weight loss. It comes across so clear how happy you currently you should be so proud of the progress you are making. Enjoy the night out it is very much deserved

    Happy Monday! 
    The sun is shining here with me (albeit had a little bit of ice on the car this morning) which always sets me up nicely for the day. 
    Friday was good, I didnt overspend, came home with £20 out of my night budget (and that includes the taxi fare, did contemplate getting a train back to my town and then a much smaller taxi fare but trains were mostly cancelled due to the weather :disappointed: ) so I was happy with that.
    Didn't spend all day Saturday hungover, win, although it was too windy to get out on the horse but did play with him in the arena, Sunday was much more productive, finished cutting the massive bush in garden and started on the front where all the weeds and moss have been growning on the paving slabs, did my shopping, cleaning and out for an hour with ponio before a nicely relaxed evening. 
    Money wise nothing exciting to report I'm afraid, although other than £13 all my direct debits for bills have come out which always relaxes me.  I have not had my £15 from V*ry and the 21 days that I should have received it in are up so that will be a chase up to them (hmm wonder if they will increase their gesture of good will now .......).  
    I did see my first lambs this weekend (yippee!") so to me spring is here!  Hope everyone had a nice weekend and got everything done that they wanted to :smile:
