More Plans

I have some more plans.  Today we finally got some ink for our printer and I can finally get some things done that I have been meaning to do for at least the last six months.  First up I want to reclaim hopefully the ppi on two of my credit cards.  I am going to get the forms printed off ( I got these from www.moneysavingexpert.com).  Hopefully I will get my money back,  I did it a couple of years ago on my loan and managed to pay off the loan and get some extra money.  I'm hoping this will pay off the credit cards or at least get them way down so it is easier to get rid of them.

The second thing I would like to do is make a custom recipe folder for all the recipes I have tried and loved.  I have started typing them up, so some are ready to go.  I'm going to add a picture of the finished product then file them into my new folders.  I am going to start these projects next week.

Today I have another night at college, which I'm really looking forward to. It's just a nice little break where I get to do something for me and hang out with people who want to do the same.  Were just doing french manicures again tonight and some theory.

I am struggling today with the temptation of something sweet.  I really want something but I haven't given in yet.  I just want a big bite of chocolate but I'm going to try to be good.

Bye for now

A little Shorty

Only a short one today I'm afraid. I haven't done much today as it was my eldest ones first day back at school.

I have kept to my diet today though, so I have had no pop or sweets today. I did way myself this morning and I have only lost half a pound. I'm going to try harder this week and see if I can lose a little more then this next week.

I also started back at college this week which I'm really happy about. We are doing manicures and I'm really enjoying it. I love learning all these new skills bit I'm unsure whether to start a YouTube channel with what I am learning.  It's just a thought at this point.

Bye, bye for now

Furniture, Career and Kandee Johnson

I haven't been on for a couple of days as I have been busy.  It was my partners two days off so we have been doing all the things I can't do when he is at work.

First on Wednesday we went to Ikea and the Metro Centre.  We need some more furniture as we moved in February and our last house had a lot of inbuilt storage where as this house as none.  So we have pretty much started from scratch.  We had previously got some chest of draws for the bedroom but we still needed to get the glass tops and a wardrobe.  The wardrobe we got isn't one I would of chosen but as far as my partner was concerned it was cheap and will do the job.  There is still a lot to be done but I'm sure we will get there eventually.

Thursday was just going and getting the main food shop.  Then my partner must of taken two hours to do his fish tank, which I must admit to be very irritating.  It's time he should be spending with the girls and my eldest always tries to get him to stop and he gets quite annoyed by this, but i mean she is three years old.

But while he has been home I have been able to take some time for myself even if it was only for an hour.  I have also been looking at the courses the local college is doing as I would love to become a beauty therapist.  This will I know take me a while as I can't do it all in one go, but luckily the courses at the college can be done as and when and they but them together for level two and then level 3.  I originally started a hairdressing and beauty therapy course when I was 16 but friends at the time kept telling me it wasn't a career and what was the point.  I got so disheartened that I just stopped going and did office work.  Then one day whilst watching you tube I came across Kandee Johnson and my passion for make up and beauty reawakened and its now all I want to do.

I know this blog will not be interesting to most but I am finding it enjoyable to write somewhere where I will be able to look back at and see what I was doing.

Bye Bye for now and remember everybody is beautiful and always encourage your family and friends in what they want to do.
