Just had a phone call from children with cancer uk about joining Linda's lottery for £1 a week which I did in an instant, then he said about doubling my chances for £2 a week, I did that too and I've already decided that if I win the lottery then it's going straight back to them to fund more research into childhood cancer.
I think I've said on my blog fairly recently that cancer and children are close to my heart so CWC and Dogs Trust are the only charities I support now 'cos I lost my dad to cancer back in 2010, I love children and we got the pup from the Dogs Trust so I want to support those two charities as much as I can!

Just paid the Namehog stuff, so...
That's it done now until the end of April/beginning of May for Namehog stuff, so I can just put the money into B without worrying about it now.
Means that I can potentially spend £130 a week on groceries and put any that I don't spend, like this week, straight into B as soon as the shopping comes every week, which is, potentially, an extra £120 a month as well as the £40 which is £160 a month that I can keep saving up for things like the wheelchair insurance and SCBWI membership and stuff like that.
£160x10 is £1600 yeah. Take off £600 for insurance and membership and expensive groceries and gifts and things like that, it's still a lotta money that I couldn't have even dreamed of saving a year ago.
I can so do this!!

Got paid again this morning, so...
I did a quick calculation - £315 for March's bills and £130 for the shopping next week makes £445 yeah?
That leaves me with £100 spare during March which I've moved into my other accounts 'cos it's easier to move money from there to my current account than it is from a completely different bank, move over the £50 for Namehog things when I need to... that'll leave me with £50 to put into my secondary bank at the end of March plus the £40 is £90 into B by the end of March.
This is where my maths potentially goes wrong, but 2x£90 is £180 yeah?
I get paid again in 2 weeks and then I'll go back to just the tenner a week into B then move any spare over at the end of each month so that I'm not tempted to spend it.
Does that sound about right?

£90 in my back-up bank account now!
Just moved £30 into my back-up bank account and checked the balance.
There's £90 in there now, which means I'll be starting March with £100 in there 'cos this week's tenner will go in by the end of this week, then I can aim for £150 by April and I'll be well away then!
Hopefully I'll have £500 in there by the end of the year and that's without denying us anything!
Thank you to my Gods, Goddesses and online support for helping me get to this point... a short 6 months ago, there was no way I thought I would ever get to this point, and I'm not going to pretend it was easy, but I've pretty much cracked my spending addiction now!
Yaaaay!! 🙌

Blimey, they were quick tonight!
I booked the 6-7pm slot, same as every week.
The shopping came at literally a couple of minutes past 6pm and gone by ten past!
Marie and Steve are now in the kitchen, putting the shopping away and finishing off their mugs of tea/coffee!
Means I'll be able to have another early night tonight! Yay! 🙌

Took my prescriptions half an hour ago and...
I'm usually snoring my head off by now when I haven't taken my supplements, but almost 12 hours later and I'm still going strong!
I'm ready to head to bed whenever my body and/or mind tell me it's time to sleep. I've started yawning a small amount but I'm not feeling tired at all!
I'll have to take my supplements every morning from now on... I've spent all day living in HD instead of grainy B&W!

It's definitely worth...
...taking me three supplements every morning. I haven't yawned since I took them, I'm still wide awake and I'm not even thinking of taking me prescriptions yet which is pretty much unheard of for me!
It's 6pm and I'm usually curled up in bed by now, listening to the top 40 and I rarely make it to 7pm.
Not today though! I'm wide awake, more positive, loads of energy.
Gonna leave it until 7pm when the Top 40 finishes then take me pills and head to bed... still an early night, but late for me!

Go for it... you won't be disappointed - I never have been!

That's me supplements taken
Hadn't taken the calcium, iron or multivitamin for several days and was really feeling it.
Just taken them and I'm already feeling better than I was 10 minutes ago!
Gave the pup her spoon of coconut too - hadn't given that to her for even longer!
Also found a few more packets of treats for her in the bottom of the drawer, but didn't give them to her in case they'd gone off... got no idea how long they'd been in there, so didn't want to risk it. Better safe than sorry and all that jazz!
