MFi3 & before I am 40 + my MB journey

TallGirl

Morning, thanks for the encouragement about the Weightloss and the MFi3 Challenge. Not done so great on the diet front too many sweets and nuts but not much wine. Since Friday I have had 4 glasses of wine which Im OK about but still not been the gym which is bad.

Not quite out of Gamebookers yet about £48 left which I hope to bust out off. Then I am going to sign up for a new bookie I think ready for the weekend. I also beat Victor so got £5.

Good meeting with the manager yesterday in Covent Garden she was running 1 hour late so I got to have a look around. Lots of rubbish but I found a London umbrella in the Disney Shop £2.89 down from £10. My friend loves Disney and London although it is not her birthday until November. Gave her a hamper this year (load of ideas from the Special Celebration Thread) so will try to do more this year for other people.

Still haven't used it:o Kids have, Mr SMF2 has - I haven't.

I keep saying I'm too busy:rotfl:but mainly I don't want to be told I'm fat :eek: by a Wii machine LOL

Tesco points addict you really should have a go at the WiiFit really easy to set up and use. Setmefree2 I fully understand that. It doesnt actually tell you how much you weigh it only gives you the BMI.

Well I have still not been to the gym this week going out for lunch so cant do Pilates this morning. It is work not for pleasure but still nad isnt it.

Done a bit of a tidy up in the house this morning, dishwasher, washing etc all done so now must do some work before Lunch. Have to go to London tomorrow again which is a pain as it is only for a 1 hour meeting maybe even less. Never mind can play DS lite on the train.

Mortgagewise it is a bit tight at the moment. DH is complaining about having to pay £300 a month towards our interest free loan of £4500 for the Bathstore stuff we bought. His last payment is in May 09 so I don't think it is that bad. He just hates not having any savings. Well this means I need to start paying for the food shopping etc and I a bit broke myself due to having paid £1000 off my bathroom loan the offset one. I still really want to do this MFi3 but if DH moans too much it may be difficult.

We have not booked any main holiday this year. I would like to go to Denmark to see the family. My niece and nephew grow up so quickly I don't want to miss out. I would be tempted to take the car and go for 2 weeks but that means no nice long holiday at Christmas. Ah well better get on with some work and worry about that later.

Morning wine count not going too well as I have kind of lost count. Had 2 glasses last night so but be up to 7 glasses already and have 2 days left. Also had some carrot cake yesterday when I took my mate out for lunch (it was all work related so free). Had lunch in Costa Coffee £19 and this is what we had, 2 coffees, 2 bottles of water, 2 cakes, 1 packet of crisps and 2 sandwishes. What a rip off glad I don't have to pay.

Got my bankstatement for the account I use for all my cashback, ebay, Amazon sales & loose change. Worked out that last year I have earned £1175 from this type of income. I pretty much get money from Quidco every month and have had some from MoneyBackMadness and Topcashback but the bulk is Quidco at £256. Amazon and Ebay has also contributed but a lot is from loose change. Not bad as it paid for most of out holidays. MB obviously helps for cashback and the bookies pay well so here is to hoping this year will be just as good. However just hope DH continue to chuck his loose change into the box, I tend to use mine for parking so need it however bought a new Radley wallet with some Christmas present money so now I can't fit that much in.

Right after all the waffle lets try and see if I can beat that figure of £1175 this year. I will change my signature and then update it as things gets paid out. Currently we only have £145 in this holiday account so I need some more money in it.

Good earnings from those alternative avenues. Do try to get a holiday sorted, the cost is far outweighed by the benefit in being away from the stress of work. Good luck in hitting that total or more this year.

TallGirl

Thanks Stuart I totally agree holidays are important and we will go away this year however I do think it will only be to Denmark in which case I we need are scheduled fligths. Might have to wait a while to book those as I need to know what holiday plans my sister have so we can fit it all in.

Actually we do have a freebie weekend break coming up curtesy of my work. I need to do some work on a Saturday in Plymouth so DH and I can go down on the Friday stay overnight and work can pay for most of that. I don't think I need to work all Saturday so will have time to chill out and even better I get a day in lieu which I really could do with. There is also a gig I need to do the day before Easter in Truro so might bring him with me as well.

Friend came around yesterday to look at replacing my front door. He had two types some white ones for about £750 and some coloured ones that look like wood for about £1250. Guess which ones we liked the best. Will have a good think about it as can't really afford to spend that much even if it saves on heating so might have to go for the cheaper option.

Nice little earner on Partybets and Gamebookers on the no loose Icehockey I always dutch it instead of laying it and made £34 profit this week. I have 4 accounts so I think it works out better than laying it as I believe that can make you about £7 per account. Now I have more wagering to do so better get on with it.

Flippin' heck - I had no idea front doors were soooo expensive:eek:

TallGirl

They aren't SetmeFree ist just we have expensive taste but I have not going to pay that no way.

We are thinking about having the stained glass replaced on our front door. We currently have the orginal glass which is over 100 years old. However, some of it is broken beyond repair and alot of the rest is cracked and chipped. We have yet to find out how much it's going to cost to replace.:p Bet it wont be cheap
