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

Getting There

So I woke up this morning with a plan.  I wanted to get the girls toys organized, so I wanted to get some boxes to put them all in.  I thought I would only need 4 boxes, but by now I have realized I am going to need a few more then that.  I went to the shops this morning trying to find the right size and colour of boxes I wanted.  I only came home with two in the end, so I could see if they were the right size, they were 75l boxes. I found out they were and have them filled all ready.  One now has Puzzles and games in and the other has my younger daughters Happyland toys in.  I now need boxes for the musical instruments, dolls and barbies, electronic toys and then miscellaneous.  Hopefully I will have these done by the end of the month.

My healthy eating is also going well, although I am craving pop, but I'm not giving in.  I haven't done any exercising yet, although I was helping my daughter with her Xbox kinect game Once Upon a Monster, which meant I got a little bit of activity done today.  Also walking round all the shops help too.

I am really looking forward to tomorrow as I am getting a new tumble dryer.  This means I can get all my clothes washed and dryed and hopefully see the bottom of the wash baskets this weekend.  Then I will need to organize all the clothes back into the wardrobes and draws.  I am sure I have a lot of clothes that can even be thrown out or donated.

Ok, see you tomorrow for more of my daily chores.

Going Stong

Although it is only my first day on my goals, I think I am doing pretty well.  This is considering that right about now I would have drunk a pink of coco cola and had a bar of chocolate to keep me going.  Let me explain  why, my 2 1/2 year old daughter does not sleep well and hasn't since she was born so I have become accustomed to drinking either coco cola or lucozade to keep me going.  I haven't touched either one yet today and I do not intend to for the rest of the day.  I am now calculating my calories on the myfitnesspal app to help me along.  I am going to try and get some exercise done later, even if it is for only 10 minutes or so.

I have been working on my third goal to be more organized as well.  I have whittled down my unread emails down from 1500 to 250, hopefully by the end of the day I will of gotten rid of all of them.  I have also downloaded some PDFs to go into my new organizational folder.  Next I need to set myself a budget and put it into effect.

I haven't really made any progress on any off my other goals yet, but hopefully I will do that soon.

Sorry this hasn't been that interesting of a day, but I have pretty much stayed at home all day.  I will get out of the house tomorrow.

I will see you tomorrow
