Must try harder!

Hi WW am I right thinking you purchased a purple organiser a while ago - I am looking at the cf budget pro financial one - I have tried a note book, am no good at excel and dont do internet banking (far too old/stupid have enough trouble when I use automated telephone banking)any thoughts please.

If it was me I would never spend another penny with the hobby place, I would also unsubscribe from their emails so they couldn't tempt me in the future.

Their behaviour has been all about themselves and not about any compromise to accommodate the customer which is appalling.

I did. It was a clever fox one and very beautiful, but I confess that I didn’t get on with it. I wanted to use it as part diary, but the motivational bits and the way it was laid out just didn’t work for me. I’m now bullet journaling in a plain, but very gorgeous notebook instead. I like to add stickers and sketches and it just didn’t work right and the weeks were separated from the months, it just felt a bit odd. 

I think if you try internet banking you’ll find it’s much easier than telephone banking and won’t take you long to get into it. 

For budgeting on paper, have you watched YouTube budget people? There are lots of examples of how people do their budgets, with lots of coloured pens and highlighters, but plain paper that you can make work for you. They are often American, but have some good ideas. The budget mom is nice. And rainbow budgets (which mf recommended). It might save some money? You can watch YouTube without logging in (I never do) and find them from a google search to start with.

@jokono, I told them…wish I hadn’t now. I just expected them to apologise and say keep it 🤣
This morning I tried a get fit with Rick step class, as recommended by SA. My steps were nothing like his and I swear I nearly died! Honestly! The dog was bouncing around, but then she got tired and lay down to watch her mum killing herself. It was only 10 minutes and felt like an hour 🤣🤣🤣

I’m tempted, but I also like their fat quarters 😖
They sent me a link to review my experience…I did indeed 🤣

Thanx WW will watch the you tube you recommended. have a good day.

Complete the link telling them exactly how you feel and opt in to be contacted about your feedback, someone might try to make it better.
I subscribed to Rick after reading about it here but didn't got to do any of his work outs yet.  I like playing just dance when I have 10 minutes. If you do 10 minutes every (other) day it will soon start feeling less hard 👍💪

I hope so @jokono. I have to time it for when MrWW isn’t here to laugh at me floundering about like a very tired earthquake victim 😁

I keep contemplating online fitness videos but I would want to do them when my OH is not home. He very rarely leaves the house without me since he started full-time working from home at the beginning of the pandemic.

@Baileys_Babe I’ve always worked from home here, but had a few years of MrWW being here too. It took ages to get used to ‘my house’ being invaded 😬 he is now on shifts, so I do have random days of freedom and then blocks of days when he’s everywhere. Some things you really need to do in private (like cry, talk to yourself, die doing exercise, etc. ). I feel your pain.
