  • So Monday's update!

    Money
    Do not borrow from small saving pots Hmm I called into Sainsbugs for Polos shirts for the boys and bought 6 tops for myself which were badly needed and most were in the sale. I spent £36.50 which I think is a bargain and £8 on two lots of polos which were £8. I only had £15 in the clothing pot so took £20 out of house pot and £10 out of holiday pot.
    There is nothing in these pots now. I have made the decision as I don't need that money at the moment that I won't repay.


    Check for surveys on a daily basis. Fail - worked all day and evening

    Health
    Lose 3.5lbs per month Tuesday is weigh day and I have smashed this target. I have lost 4.5lbs this week

    Step target of 60,000 Yesterday I did 8,889 steps out of my 60,000 target so I am 14.8% of the way there

    Follow SW and record everything I eat Done

    Have a 12 hour eating window Was doing well until I decided to have a slice of bread and butter on my way to bed - not needed at all but a massive downfall of mine

    In bed and lights out by 11pm and up by 7.15 on weekdays This target is really important to me as I take ages to fall asleep and my littlest hobo can be up anytime from 6 so then I doze with him in bed next to me. Last night lights out was 11.30 and I got up at 7.32 as I am working from home today I knew I would save time not having to put my make up on:rotfl: It makes a massive difference to all of us if we are not rushing in a morning

    House
    Finish decorating the Hall, Stairs and Landing by 31/10/19 Need to buy more gloss paint so this can happen

    Deal with all post and letters from school on the day it arrives.Some forms to fill in for school and after school club so fail

    Do one thing a day towards getting the house to where I want it.Need to write a list for this

    So a mixed bunch really but this will make me focus!

  • Other money news. Work is going really well and we have won lots of new business in the last 4-6 weeks. This means I will need to increase my working hours for the next 6 months but I should get paid for that. However a couple of invoices haven't been paid so we can't pay our usual salary this month. It's only a small shortfall but i need to find the money from somewhere though - more side hustling!!

    That’s a great plan you’ve got in place, it’s always good to have one. I love working from home because of all the time I save not putting make up on/doing my hair. Plus the walking to and from time :)

    I do find SA that if I have a plan - money, weight etc it tends to happen and I do love a list! I have two loads of washing out today too - you can't always do that on a working day can you at this time of year as it gets damp earlier!
