    Hello All,

    Its bright and sunny here, hope the sun is shining where you all are :j.

    Today I...
    • Spent £9.95 on a starter pack for WW (I have 10 st to loose, and I need all the motivation I can get) and £1.75 on a WW magazine.
    • Went food shopping, budgeted £100, spent £93 (it was a big monthly shop, mum does the top up shopping through the month) = £7 in my terramundi
    • Re-used bag for life's so that was 15 carrier bags not used (I am trying to refuse carrier bags for a month)
    That's about it, am about to have lunch (rather than buying out), and sit and read my magazine with a low fat hot chocolate :j.

    Take care all.

    Afternoon all, will not be doing much dfw today as have to get on with my assignment for O.U.

    -Need to sort out documents and certificates for job interview tomorrow and decide on what to wear.
    -Have got my partner to agree on picking me up from my current job and taking me to my job interview, now got to work on him either picking me back up or seeing if work will let me have the whole afternoon off instead, otherwise it will be at least £20 for a taxi.
    -Working on assignment
    -Cooked a store cupboard meal.
    -Need to go to cash machine and get some money out so i can pay for my weekly bus ticket, thus saving me at least £8 for the week.
    -Do some work for massage course

    Have a good day everyone and hi to all new posters.

    There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man.
  • Well today is the first day of the new me. I finally plucked the courage to post my SOA yesterday and feel so much better for it. I have sat with partner and we have looked at his finances as well and have a plan of action, so even though there has been a lot of tears it has been well worth it.

    Today I have / will:

    Sold another item on ebay
    Going to scrub and sort the house so I can find more ebay bits.
    Write a list of items in the cupboard so that I can make some meals this week.
    Got some receipe sheets from Sainsburys to make some food from scratch.
    Been to look at tiles so we can finish house to get it sold.
    Will wash clothes on 30 degree wash and line dry
    Iron weeks clothes so that I can have more time in the evenings to cook properly.
    Do my clicks and surveys.
    Look on MSE as saves me spending money and find some more money saving ideas.

    Good luck to everyone else for this week. :j
