there deff seems to be dont there miz (hope you dont mind the nick name) i reckon a virtual butt kicking has been going on have you seen hypno's thread? boy that woman has plans going on (where does she get the energy i stand in awe)

Absolutely! Came back this evening and was exhausted just reading it!!

Miz is fine - mizmir is short for mizmirabelle - which is a rather long nickname for one of our dogs.... but you probably didn't need to know all that.....:o miz works fine!

elantan

sounds like a nice name to me ...mind you i did have exodia for a cat so maybe i am not the one to ask about names lol ....

well i have been pondering about this new idea batted a few things around played with figures and it seems that between alcohol(decided to give it up) work diesel(for second job) and food spends (for 2nd job) i am £2340 a year now i earn £7731 a year in job no2 but i pay br tax but eventully when all is said and done i am £65 a week worse off if i pack in job no2 so basically i have £65 a week to find


this i intend on doing by cutting back i spend far to much money on rubbish i really do i think i can cut back the food bill by approx £20 a week and i know i can cut back my rubbish spending by £20 a week or so leaving me £25 a week approx to figure out so this looks do-able to me not easy but do-able

also i have decided i need to get my health sorted i cant go on the way i am so i will be looking at increasing my excercise now to look at ways in which i am going to do that ...

mizmir

Yay! More big plans - definitely something in the air this weekend! :T

£65 a week is just about the £10 a day challenge - definitely doable. And it sounds like it would give you much more "space" for other stuff. No brainer methinks.

quite strange i just got a text from the boss (job no2) asking if i would work sundays instead ...i'm like no i aint working weekends for you no more ...then she came back saying i cant guarantee your hours then (she has said this already) so i said fine cut my hours.... i think i would prefer them cut anyway as i will get the chance of gradually getting used to the less money she then informed me (yeah 3 texts on my day off) that there is an important staff meeting on wednesday that i have to attend ...

ok just chatting to miz there we have a new challenge starting from wed i will loose 1lb by the following wed....

inorder to do this i will be excercising very gently to protect my knee maybe swimming or something ....and will be careful about what i eat....

work wise well my wages come in on friday i think so i will have a new debt/spends list planned worked out by then and will bring back in the spending diary very good tool for keeping my finger on the pulse of my spending ..

Hi elan, how you keeping? Mi mother has a bad knee, she is 76 and refuses to go to the doctors about it. SHe plays darts and I told her that if she doesnt get it seen too she will have to stop playing. She's got an appointment next week :rotfl: Hey you going to the Glasgow meet?

Lenny i'm gonna try and go i owe work no2 a shift as i have been off on thie first aid course for the last few weeks so if they choose it to be that day i will need to do it otherwise i see no reason why i wont be there ...are you going? who is going all together?

well there is deff something in the air i have just done house work ...for me that is a strange ...i sorted out the bedroom it now looks like a bedroom i sorted out the mail that has been gathering dust for oh i would say two years or so (mail from first car accident) and got rid of now that it is finalised so spent believe it or not an hour on the shredder ...have taken the tomatoes out of the kid on green house they were just too big had to dismantle the thing to get them out ...still dont actually have any tomatoes yet dont know if this is normal or not though maybe i will ask on the green board....hubby made a cake with the breadmaker cant wait to try it ..i cleaned the bathroom as well so while i still have tonnes to do i have made a start...

i gave hubby £25 £10 for his work (will also buy bread meat cheese yooghurts etc) £15 for his drink for the week till next fri
he doesnt seem happy with this at all to be honest but i have explained that this is how it needs to be if i am to get away from job no2 and he knows i cant go on the way i am for much longer infact he has been saying it for years ...so expect alot of tantrums and screaming in the months to come

That something in the air is the wind of change Gorgeous. Once it starts blowing, there is no stopping it.

He'll get used to it.

Oooh another plan :T :T :T :T

OH will get used to the changes -and as Mizmir says, the shortfall can be made up easily by joining in the £10 a day challenge.

But housework :eek: I cannot compete :eek: My plan is still to get in a cleaner (although the cost does put me off!):o
