Oh well. It is what it is. I decided not to track last weekend and just took a bit of a break, which is now reflected in my weight. Or it could be that slice of toast I had last night at 10pm - just had to have it!:) We also had a huge roast dinner on both days last weekend as well as chocolate cake and Doritos. This weekend will be much the same, but this time I'll track it all and see if I can reign things in somewhat with portion control and some healthier choices. If I can get back to 67kg by next Friday I'll be happy.
Not much walking this week except for an extended one on Wednesday to work and I went for a jaunt on Saturday too. Google Fit is not tracking on my phone again and royally annoying me! Might need to ask Santa for a fitness tracker watch me thinks.
At this point I'm not sure I'll get back to workouts until January so if I can hover around 67kg for the month I'd be happy. Might do a bit of walking this weekend too if I can just get myself out of the house. Hubby will be working both days so it's a good opportunity for me to explore some local places I want to check out. Will just be a bit crappy if I end up completely soaked so I'll have to think carefully about my public transport options. I am in danger of going nowhere and wallowing in my own stress and worry and I really don't want to let that happen.
I have a habit of letting work stuff creep up on me and build up to seeming impossible to handle/tackle and I'm at the point where I really need help so I'll have to make those phone calls and send out those emails to see who can help me next week. Really worried that people will be closing down for Christmas and unable to help me until the new year and then I'll be even more stressed until then, but I need to bite the bullet and just get on with it. Also majorly worried about the costs of it all. Just still trying to learn as much as I can and work out the questions I need to ask over the weekend.
Hopefully there is a tax savvy guardian angel out there just waiting to take all my troubles away and make it as smooth as I hope it will be one day to do on my own once I know all the ins-and-outs. But for now I think a few more grey hairs are popping out as I write.
Anyhoo. Have a lovely weekend y'all!!!

With tax I don't let it pile up. I do it as I go along, write it up and file receipts etc daily or weekly at most. I keep notes to remind me of the tax reasoning behind what I have done to justify it to the accountant (or worse. HMRC!) My old Dad also taught me to split my income into 3: living expenses, savings, tax!
Enjoy your weekend! And get ready to address your concerns first thing next week.

Thanks Anne! I am usually on top of things and I managed without an accountant in South Africa and thought it would be as easy here in the UK. But just found out last week that I can't submit online so that already makes me late and it just seems alot more complicated to me having foreign income as well. I'm sure once I've gotten over this first hurdle it will be fine from next year onwards, but still daunting because it's rushed now as well to minimise the penalties.
I have only myself to blame because I should have started the process months ago. I won't make the same mistake again though.
Hope you enjoy your weekend too! xxx

if it makes you feel any better, N, the federal govt didn't break me on doing my own taxes - the state of california did. so you're not alone.

Aah Kat! If only there was an easier way. I'm not glad to hear I'm not alone, but hopefully you got through it and fingers crossed I will too. 🤞💕

Oh Nikki, I hope you are not over-stressing. You can work this all out and asking for help is wise. Break off little pieces at a time and it will all get done. 💕👍

I outsource at this point. it's too hard and I can't keep up and do my actual job. totally eliminates 90% of the stress though.

Thanks Becca! Over-stressing comes naturally to me these days, but I'll do as you say and break it into smaller pieces and I'm hoping to find someone great this week that will help put my mind at ease. Thank you for your advice! 🤗💕

I hear you, Katsolo! Life is too short to be stressing about these things.
