    Morning everyone!

    Well today is diet 100% day! (again :rolleyes:) but this time I am ready I have everything set and I am going to get it off!

    Other than that very little happening today, off to my salsa class tonight as part of my get fit attempt. I am only going to do one class though as I am a little rusty.

    Listed 6 of Mum's cards on Ebay last night which she is really pleased about, still loads to go on, but we thought we would see how these go first.

    But I think that is about it at the moment.

    Right will I have been away 2 days and I have learnt a lot about myself.

    1 - I love this place, but feel better cutting back a little.

    2 - the 25th was NOT 100 % diet day :o :rotfl:

    That is tomorrow.

    But I am good, ticking along nicely. Not going to my uni reunion in Sept as my mate's Dad died over the weekend and so she can't be there and the rest of us are a little flat about it. So we are rearranging for next year.

    Aiming for a weekend of housework and organising. I hopefully I will be all sorted for Monday!

    But I have also realised that I love myself enough to lose the weight and battle the debt and I am worth all the effort in the world!

    so :T for me!!

    I feel it actually.

    It has all been building and I needed to suddenly make the effort for myself as no one else was going to manage these things but me.

    Ok day 3 of diet and I am doing good. nothing 'naughty' has passed my lips ;):D since Friday and I feel much better for it.

    Aiming for another good day today and i have aquafit at 7 tonight :cool: Although out with work all day tomorrow, bbq lunch and then indian on the way home :eek: :eek: Not good for a dieter, but it is only one meal (the indian) I can cope with the bbq, but will not use the Indian as an excuse to fall off the wagon. :cool:

    Moneywise, Saturday was a £1.30 spend, took Mum shopping and paid for parking, where some f*** (delightful person) in a silver sports car, hit my car with his door... :mad: nice silver mark on my drivers side :mad: If you can't drive them and get out of them, don't own them!!!!!

    This is why I will never own a Lamborgini, I fell out of the one I drove :rotfl: and had a 3 inch bruise on my thigh :eek:

    Anyways I had better go do some work :rolleyes:

    Morning

    Was back at Aquafit last night. We are thinking of getting one of their leisure cards, £10 for a year, but it would reduce the class price from £5.50 a week to £4.00 and we think that is worth it. We would save the cost of the car in 2 months.

    And then if we are ever brave enough to try anything else, we will get money off that to. So I think we are going to pick up the forms next week.

    Should only be a £1.40 spend today. Out with work for most of the day, team building and then a indian afterwards which work are paying for :T I have suntan lotion with me, so I don't burn :cool: and hopefully it will be good fun.

    Mum is away with the school for 3 days so I have the house to myself tomorrow to. Looking forward to watching what I want to on tv, and generally having some real me time!

    Oh and one of my aunts got a job yesterday! Which we are really pleased about, she has contact dermatisus (?) from her last job and has been through it a little with incapacity and job seekers, so she will be getting out there and earning a little again now. She didn't think she would get anything, what with her hands (the skin literally falls off :eek:) and the fact she is 59, but Clarks wanted her! So I need to get a congratulations card at some point to :rolleyes:

    Anyways have fun today people!

    Morning Guys.

    I've been taking a little break and concentrating on other things, which I do feel better for.

    Nothing much has been going on really. Was ill most of last week so eat loads of bread and scrapped the diet. Back onto it now and I will win!!!

    Money is looking ok, I am paid 10 days from today, and I have about £150 left of my wages which is really good for me. So I am going to try to keep spends as low as possible and use the car as little as I can to make my petrol last and then I will split what money is remaining off my CC and then some into savings.

    I still need to pay my £60 birthday money into the bank, but I swear they all seem to shut around 4pm here :mad: So need to get out of bed early on Saturday and drive to the next town to pay it in before 12 :rolleyes: Then that can start earning me some interest.

    So yesterday was a £1 spend, and so far today has been 85p and hopefully that will be it.

    No aquafit yesterday as I wasn't feeling very well, but we have the forms to join at £10 a year which will drop the cost of the class to £4 and save us £1.50 each :D

    So that is about it from me for now.

    Take care x
