Dan and I both had today off work because of the snow, which means so far this week I’ve worked a total of half a day!! Not so great from a financial point of view but it’s always nice to get a little extra time off. I’ve decided it’s time I seriously started saving. I’ve had a full-time job for about a year now and I’ve just turned 23 so I need to start beng a little more mature with my money. Dan and I don’t want to have to carry on living with other people forever, especially once we’re engaged and married. If we both get a good amount in savings and if I take a job oppourtunity I have later in the year, I can see us being able to afford a mortgage.

Most of the day was spent relaxing, we didn’t want to risk going out anywhere because the roads are still really icy. I walked to a mini-supermarket near us with our flatmate Big Dan in the evening and we bought loads of delicious food to cook for dinner for the house. Dan, Big Dan and Hayley all had steaks and I had my favourite- enchiladas! It was delicious but I’m sure I went over my allocated 1200kcals for the day. I’m going to have to restart my two week challenge tomorrow. I have decided I want to lose 11lbs so I’m starting with the two week challenge from My Big Fat Diet Show to kck-start things (and to get me to reduce my portion sizes) and then I’m going to try to just eat healthy, normal sized meals and up my exercise!

Dan’s in bed already and has been for a couple of hours. He hurt his back earlier :( I’m off to shower and then give him some much needed sympathy!

[ps]nI was finding blogging hard to get back into as I hadn’t done it regularly for so long, but I’m starting to find it much easier already and really thereaputic to write :) [/ps]
