Keep calm and carry on....

Yay for free pizza!! We went to my parents for tea and they also did pizza!

I LOVE pizza 😍 It's my food achilles heel.... I have it every Friday night, then if we're eating out I'll almost always have it during the week just in case I don't have it on Friday 😀 BF and I went to Rome a few years ago - pizza, pasta, risotto, gelato....I was in heaven!

And I wonder why I'm bursting out of my clothes....😯

Omg that sounds amazing!! Pizza is also my fav, we have it once a week too and maybe a pizza sub for lunch at the weekend.

No pizza lunch today 😢 Did think about buying one for dinner but gave myself a talking-to and had something with actual vegetables instead

Not a bad day, didn't get much work done though. Tomorrow will be hectic to try and catch up. The OP's from the car insurance savings have hit the account, so balance now £30,135.64. Very close to a balance beginning with 2 now!

Finally made it into town to collect my hairdryer (long story, but I ended up having to re-order it - which worked out £2.75 in my favour). It's looking more run-down than ever (the town centre, not my new hairdryer), Subway and H&M have both closed since I last was there, which I don't think was THAT long ago. We can definitely afford to drop a Subway (there were 4 😮!), but I'm surprised by H&M. 

Thanks to the tip-off from newgirly, I also went into Primark to look for a hairbrush but they didn't have the type I need. Boots did, but it was £6 (£6 for a hairbrush 😮 and I need 3!!! - and that wasn't even the most expensive) so back to the drawing board on that one 😦

I have been gifted a load of random (and mostly opened) alcohol. So I don't go mad with it, I've assigned a value to each bottle based on what it's selling for in Sainsbury's and how much is left in the bottle. If I want access to one, I need to "buy" it by transferring that amount into the mortgage holding account. Have just paid myself £7.20 for 60% of a bottle of Tia Maria (it's on offer at the moment 😂) and may just enjoy a glass in a bit, after doing the washing up. But first job is to transfer the money into the correct account, as typing this has just made me realise I've sent it to the wrong one - idiot! Once it's in the right place, that should allow me to make a £25 OP 

Today I am grateful for internet banking....😂!

Wilkos or Superdrug for hairbrushes? x

Tried both of those, also more than I want to pay 😢 Just need to suck it up I think....

You did make me laugh selling yourself booze, the lengths we go to sometimes in order to op, normal people would think it crazy 😆

I figured I'd be buying it anyway, so I'd be no worse off! 

Right, have ordered hairbrushes from eBay. Not quite what I'd normally get, but £2.34 each, 1% TCB and 7 Nectar points 😂 Also a UK seller, so should arrive this week and I can stop thinking about b****y hairbrushes!

Struggling this morning, there are lots of things I should be doing but don't have any motivation to do any of them.

Drew up a list of little bits of work I wanted to do to get a head-start on the week, but realistically this is about 4 hours' work (which means probably 8 hours in the office by the time all the distractions are factored in, but even that's not motivating me). There is one person I emailed last Sunday when I also shouldn't have been working and promised them an update "by this time next week", so I absolutely have to do that, but beyond that may just do a couple of tiny tasks. Might feel more enthused once I've logged on. 

Beyond that, I have some bits of housework to get done, I really have to finish trying on the rest of that clothes parcel and send the rest back (I already know the skirts are too short to be decent for work 😯), and just need to try and motivate myself a bit. I seem to spend Monday-Friday powering through work with too much to do and not enough sleep, Friday night celebrating that I've made it to the weekend, Saturday not wanting to do anything because it's the weekend, then Sunday trying to catch up on what I should have done on Saturday and pretending I don't have to go back to work the next day. Think I need a holiday 😦 Have requested the 4 days after Easter, but that's almost 2 months away 😯 Do have some odd days booked in March, so trying to focus on that. 

Sorry, it was better when I was talking about hairbrushes....
