Well done on your lists , it's inspiring to cross things off . Porridge sounds fab but I'm curious to know if the bacon and eggs yesterday filled you up more ? Restarting my own diet tomorrow and feel breakfast will be key to success . Have you tried the baked apple skyr yoghurt from M+S that's free on SW yet ?

Thanks @Newstartforme I find a list very motivational. I think I am hungry now and I was hungry yesterday, but I probably prefered the bacon and eggs, very tasty! Although the porridge was still good. I find yoghurts have very little filling power, and yes I have tried baked apple skyr, and I am not overly keen tbh. 
 I have just ballsed up my day also, I ate the fat off the gammon joint because I was that hungry! I am not sure I am cut out for dieting tbh but I will keep trying!...also I made a cake lateron too! I just want to add that I am sure most people find bacon and eggs and porridge filling, I am just too big, so whatever I eat on plan makes me extraordinarily hungry!

Today I am defnetely Off Plan, I have baked Blueberry muffins and bread for a bunny chow tonight. I have also done about 6 surveys this morning from 5pm earning >20 odd quid I cashed out £14.90 this morning from prolific, originally this morning it was at 15p then after the survey I quickly picked up, it is now at £4.41 with £13.05 pending , MD agreed to give me the £200 as it would help me and I now have Zero officially on my credit card. I did do some silly spending this morning, however I will have a lovelly meal from it and lovelly cakes plus an apple crumble another day. My cash is lower then I would have liked but still I have had some lovelly things from it (for cooking/ swim and take out) The cash pot stands at £25.13, there is also about £30 excess in current account but I am leaving it there for now as I think there is a mistake?! I am baking right now, muffins done and bread in the oven, I will take over some bread to MD and SFD for their lunch then I will come back and have a shower and relax before dinner tonight with my roomie. 

Lifes goodXX

Women have the potential to be really unkind, my own mother said, when I told her I invited the lodger to go swimming with me, she said
"He probably doesn't want to come because he doesn't want to see you in a swimming costume" When did she find it acceptable to be cruel? I brushed it off at the time, but actually it is quite an unkind thing to say to someone. Although I do actually feel this way about myself I think is unacceptable to say it to someone?! Especially your own daughter or anyone really!

Hi CrazyBee, that's the kind of thing I would say to my size 22 daughter. We old ladies just don't think. I would say I suffer from foot in mouth syndrome. I think you have an interview tomorrow? Fingers crossed it's the one

Thanks @Chieveley I just thought it was a bit of a nasty comment to make to someone. She knows how many times I have tried to lose weight, and I actually think it is impossible, so I am giving up on it. Which means I will never look good in a swimming costume! I could do without being told this. when the world wants you to lose weight and you actually can't change your situation you don't feel wonderful anyhow. Anyhow I am likely to let it go, I just wish she could hold back from saying crap that hurts.

Don't be disheartened CB , one day something will work for you diet wise , it's tough though and your mum shouldn't be making comments like that. Hope all going well with surveys and job hunting

Thanks Newstart MD said she couldn't remember saying it, then she said she meant lodger probably doesn't want to see you in that context is what she meant, but it really didn't sound like that. And she regularly says stuff about my size, but I put up with it because I have no one else to hang out with, sadly.

Today I have been out to the shops with MD thinking I would get myself a pick me up, but in the end I didn't spend any money so that is something. I need to get my focus back on the next thing, it was motivating saving for the chairs, but it is not motivating saving for car service if I am honest. I probably shouldn't have spent the money I did on the recent round of baking but I did it and I can't take it back as most of it is now baked.

I have put a savings goal of £300 by 30.06.25 but really I am not as enthralled at saving but I do need to do it, maybe I should put £1000 by the end of the year instead? No smaller steps, lets stick with the plan for now. I do need to do a few chores this afternoon, so I'll put a list together. I think I will cash out prolific now I can and add it to the pot. Done! £6.49 so that is a cash pot total of £8.62/ 2%.

To Do List:-

1) Wash up

2) Put washing away

3) Put washing on

4) Clean office desk

5) Hoover

6) Look over application ready for tomorrows interview

7) Surveys.

sometime later

I have moved some money around after a couple of transaction I now have £29.10 in cash pot which is 9% of £300! and I am glad I did the chores!

Today in less then 3 hours I am due at an interview, I am really needing to succeed at this, I have prepared, but is it enough. I don't feel particularly amazing, Like I am going to wow them or anything!

I managed to nab a high value survey last night, I am just waiting for it to come in, I have £6.64/£25.81 pending! 

This morning I am going to preen myself and get ready for the interview by preparing Qs&As.

Have a good day allXX
