    Afternoon.

    today is going really quickly. Well I have tucked into my hm soup and very nice it was to, although my head of department laughed at me! it's all about saving money isn't it!

    I have added my lunch logger number to my sig so I can keep track of things there. I am making it my aim to not go to Sainsbury's at all this week. I am getting much better at this, considering I was going in everyday I am now down to once or twice a week. So if I can cut this out I will be really happy.

    Right I have to make a phone call now and try to do some work this afternoon! :rolleyes:

    Morning all!

    Well I went and weighed in last night. Now bare in mind I went and weighed in on Thursday so only have 4 days to try and lose something. Well I managed to lose 2.5lbs!!! :D Which means I have lost 3 stone 1 lb in total :T Needless to say I am feeling really happy about it all and raring to go this week. I don't weigh in now until Monday so I have a nice run at this one.

    Money is fine I only spent 85p yesterday and I am aiming at a NSD, although I did leave my book voucher at home today so I can't go and get a book :rolleyes: as I really want a new one and was give some Waterstone's vouchers for christmas. A job for tomorrow I think.

    Another busy day in the office today, I'm not sure in my boss is in or not so I will get me head down and enjoy it! I finally feel like I am getting a grip and control on my life again which is a very good feeling and one I hope continues!!

    xx

    I feel so much calmer about it all as well, which is helping as I don't want to spend money and I am happy to spend time at home, although I might have to talk OH into some games of Monopoly! I am feeling a board game or 2 coming on!

    Afternoon!

    Been really busy today, although I have developed a splitting head ache, I'm not sure if it's coz I've been busy or I am suffering chocolate withdrawal!

    Not making me feel very good this one, but I have got loads done.

    And I am still on track for my NSD :j

    Morning

    Well I managed a NSD yesterday, not going to do so today as I need to get lunch (£1.15) and then some cheap paints for decorating my piggy bank, but they will be really cheap ones.

    Checked online banking today and I'm doing really well, I have £185 left of my wages and I get paid in 10 days :D which means I am well on track to pay a nice lump off my laptop!!! :T All my dd have left the account so it's now just petrol and spends and I've been really good with spends and still have about £8 in my purse which will last me until the weekend at this rate. So all very good.

    Made very yummy sw pizza last night (although I ate half :o) and will be having the rest reheated tonight, so it was MSE to! Although took over an hour to make! I was very hungry by the end.

    I have a couple of things to list of Amazon today which will hopefully raise some cash for me. And I remembered to bring some of my vouchers with me so I will be spending my Waterstones ones on a new book and £6 of my boots one (pigsback not christmas) on a new hairbrush as mine is SO old it's frightening and as I'm growing my hair I think I could do with a new one.

    I think that's about it for me today, oh yeah get loads more work done and try not to spend hours here (but that never works :rotfl: )

    Have fun xx

    Afternoon.

    Well I have listed on Amazon and made a sale today :T so that is £7.50 coming my way. I really need to sit down and list some more tonight. It really is easy money isn't it. So the challenge is to list all of the terry pratchett books I have at home and never read, it's all money off the OD at the end of the day. And they are currently taking up space under my bed which the cat could use to hide and jump out at me. Which is what he did the other night :rolleyes:

    I am going to try and finish my piggy bank tonight as well and put in my £2.50 from my weight loss. I don't seem to be getting much done today, but then yesterday was so busy I think I burnt out (well that is my excuse!)
