MFi3 & before I am 40 + my MB journey

TallGirl

Finally came back from the west country yesterday last hotel had wifi but ofcourse my laptop would not work. Anyway did manage to get to Long Tall Sally and spent £157. It was all in the sale and this is what I got.

2 pinstripe suits
1 pair of tweed trousers
1 white shirt
1 pair of tights

I think that is pretty good spent £55 on a suit that would have been over £100 full price. Now I own 3 pairs of size 16 trousers but I am still determined to shift the pounds. I do like the suits though and they will be handy for our conferences this year. Need to start looking smart at work I think.

Got 50 free spinds from Ladbrokes on ToomRaiders. Turned it into £10 which I have now bet on the horses. They have their refund offer again this weekend so have 4 horses on for £160 so hopefully 1 will win. If they don't I will not loose any money though.

This is not really MB but got an offer of 200% reload at BingoCabin deposited $20 and got that up to $70. Withdrew that and then got $30 bingo bonus money to play with. Lost it all. Not risk free but a nice profit.

Got a friend of FIL coming tomorrow to look at door quote. He did our windows and I now have the leaflet from the other place so hopefully can sort something out cheaply.

Did not get the quote for the door yesterday they are coming today so will update you when they have been.

Did the Ladbrokes offer yesterday but did not pick a single winner. Did not have enough money in my MB account to really go for it so hopefully it will be on next weekend and I can do it again.

Ordered 3 bags and seed potatoes from Marshalls so we can grow our own this year. They are different types so we should have potatoes for most of the season. Just need to find somewhere to put them in the garden when they arrive. Might try to tidy up out there today if it is not too foul.

Thinking of going over to France in early February as I am in Kent anyway. DH can hopefully move an appointment and come with me (I did tell him the date but he does not use a diary). I see from Tesco's website you can now use clubcard vouchers for the Eurotunnel. It is £54 and I have enough to get £50 worth of vouchers. So even if the Euro is high at least travel is virtually free and diesel is on the company car so there will be a saving at least for DH on the ciggies.

Went out for a drink last night and a snack only £17 but feel really broke this month. Roll on payday. Also got my nice new GHD hairstraighters so I can use the old one for travelling. They are lovely but so expensive best ones though.

Quick hello from me. Off to an appointment in 1 hour and need to find out if the appointment I have on tomorrow is still going ahead. I need to stay overnight if it is. Going to be a bit of a week this week with me travelling most of my area but hey ho that is life in sales.

Bought a wine fridge from Sainsbury's yesterday. Reduced to £25 from £89 and it hold 8 bottles. Might take it over to Denmark as my mum won't let us have beer and wine in her fridge it is just too small. Or we can use it at home although we already have a spare fridge for drinks and the garage is hold enough not to need to keep wine in the fridge.

Done rubbish on my wine challenge this week and forgot to weigh myself before I had breakfast and I am not doing it now after a huge bowl of porridge.

Signed up to Jaxx for DH yesterday but they may refuse the free bet as I already have an account. I will have to wait and see. I did get an arb on the qualifier 46p profit and you can earn point to play casino with and even get freebies. Also £20 cashback with Quidco and it has tracked. Actually if anyone is thinking of starting Matchbetting Jaxx is not a bad one to start with as it is stake returned so you don't need to have much of a float to place the free bet.

With regards to front door FIL friend showed us some doors, £1000 for the composite ones and it was exactly the same ones as the ones I found on Ebay. He will give us a quote next weekend. Emailed my friend the detials from Ebay and hopefully he can give us a quote to buy and fit the door.

Will get £109 out of Quidco if all that has tracked pays out this month as it is scheduled to do. That would be nice as my signature looks pretty rubbish.

I thought I was doing well with my diet (I haven't had any boozy drinks for a week - was good all weekend). Got on the scales this morning feeling happy and hadn't lost a pound But I won't give up.....

Don't give up Setmefree I lost 100 grams this week how rubbish is that. Not having a very good day today off to Cornwall again just for 1 meeting tomorrow. Trying to print a load of stuff off and it is taking forever. Need to write my sales reports too but I really can't be asked.

Anyway better get on with it as I am sure you don't want to hear anymore of my rants.

If it's any consolation my Blobby challenge is not exactly breaking records, however I did at least not put any weight on whilst on holiday so that's good ish.

Enjoy Cornwall. I'm staying in a crappy £10 Travelodge tonight near the office to have a rest (journey home last night took 2 hrs, and 2hrs in again today so good timing). Hope I can get internet on laptop and will enter comps & be on here.

Hi Gally thanks for cheering me up I needed it. SOunds like you have serious trafic problems where you are.

Well Im in a Premier Inn tonight without wifi but I have finally got my laptop sorted out thanks to the lovely Bt Business team. Turned out if was my work that had changed the proxy settings so I could not use internet explorer. Now I can log in as Admin so all is well again. So nice to be able to use it again on the road.

Better hit the road as I have about 4 1/2 hours driving ahead of me.

Ooh sounds a bit of a bargain, I'll have to nip down to try and get one, might come in handy over the summer at bbq's ( if we actually get asummer this year )

That is good I think;).

I have a really cheapo pair of scales tbh (less than a fiver from Argos) They look nice, however, if you lean forward you can loose half a stone - move back lose another half:rotfl:.

So they are not what you'd call accurate, but they are good enough as I want to loose alot. I'm still going....
