Mid December Recap

The ribs are starting to feel better, still can't wear a bra or sleep on that side but they are definitely improving, 4.5 weeks in now.......can't believe how long these things take to heal!! And whilst I have been able to get to work the last couple of weeks I haven't managed much else, must, must, must get some some housework done!!

Kick Arse December is not going toooo badly, I have only managed 4 NSD so far, so that's a bit pants but I haven't spent much and am well within my budgets for the month so that's gotta be a good thing! Well except when I went to my friends in Lincoln last weekend, I had a little spend up then in Primark......best work out the damage later: I didn't have a budget for that though so......... I can't go over it, haha.

Kick Arse December

Thanks to the ribs “These last 2 weeks I have mostly been working from home” …..which has saved me a packet in petrol money!! Other than that I've not really managed to get back into the extra money earning :( Sssooooo........

December I've decided to really kick arse and go for it!

I've cobbled together some ideas from various sources:

20 No Spend Days (NSD)
£270 food budget for the whole month (Joint Account - JA)
£200 for presents/food/social outings (My Account - MA)
Must take packed lunches – no food from cafe's etc
£250 petrol allowance – (JA)
Apart “from fresh food” use up what is in freezer/pantry
Pick one of my piggy banks and fill with change, do not open until the end of 2013, once full pick another piggy to fill.
Make a Christmas decoration per day for my own version of an advent calender from items I have in the house


Yesterday was December 1st and the 1st decoration was made :) I also has a NSD :)




Today I had a MS and have made 2nd Decoration – will show photo later as it's still “cooking”

Dinner's for the last 2 days were venison and pheasant from the freezer with veg.
