NST Muddy March Marathon

Sorry have been absent for a few days but have just caught up.
Life has just been hectic but in a good way over last few days so won't complain too much. Up much too early for a Sunday morning but feet are killing me and needed to get up and try get them feeling better. Too much dancing in heels last night but since can't remember the last time that group of friends were all together the bit of pain this morning is worth it!!

Today am grateful for a wonderful night out, a lazy Sunday and a few unexpected hours to get myself sorted this morning.

Morning all! Moll sorry to hear about all the illness. Hope the storm passes soon. Fmess amazing on the NSDs mothernerd great post. Thanks all for your interesting posts, too.

I've been at 80kg for the last week (did go to 79 which was target weight). Have eaten only good stuff,portion control is good and no snacks whatsoever SO I can only assume that fat has converted to muscle (tummy almost flat now and I have the calves of a runner). Boobs WILL NOT GO! Still at least a G and only have 2 bras that fit around the ribs. Tricky with the amount of exercise I'm doing as I have to keep washing them.
Money-wise, all is well. One month to my wedding and most stuff is done and paid for. April will be a stretch but after that we should be able to save a lot more. I have £900/£1000 in my 'emergency' fund and about £400 in my ISA. Don't want to touch either.
Looking forward to a swim with little one in a bit and already had a run and did some arm exercises. Then meal out with my 'yoga baby buddies ' - some of whom I haven't seen for months.
Happy Sunday all!

Thanks everybody

Moll Wow that's a brilliant bargain! We're not telling names either, there's always someone who says something to put you off

I had a naughty day yesterday McDs breakfast as hubby didn't fancy anything in and I thought well if he's having brekkie out so am I. Then lunch at a carvery with mother & father in law and niece which was planned and not expensive. Next to mothercare where I tried on a few bits but am looking for them on ebay but we did buy a toddler carseat restraint thing ( needed - our little man is a houdini) and 1 Flash babygrow as little man has a Flash tshirt and we thought it'd look cute together. Then bobbed to a friends to share baby news and ended up staying for takeaway. I hang my head in shame!

We're out today meeting friends at the beach for a vw thing but have packed stuff to make our own brews, we'd usually nip to the McDs nearby. Will be having lunch out though so another spendy day

Lost my motivation for some reason this last few days so need to get my head back in the money saving mode.

Catching up on last few days challenges - have now cleared my bedside cupboard and thrown some stuff away and have a small pile for the charity shop. Also picked out 3 pairs of pants to sell. Need to do the wardrobe next. Round at my mum and dads tomorrow and their bookcase is always good for a raid of whatever's new to start reading.

Use it or lose it Unusual ingredients I usually see if my mums got before I buy, also if I've just one thing I need rather than go to the shop as she's so close by. My hubby, his brither & his dad all swap tools they need rather than all have them. My mum used to have an allotment and always gave us lots of stuff but has given it up now. Once the gardens done I'd like to grow a few bits we have a lot of - salad, tomatoes, strawberries, etc

Wellbeing We went for an hours walk with the dog yesterday and will be out most of today wandering around the prom. Nice bit of sea air is good for the soul. I always feel refreshed walking by the sea or rivers, canals, lakes

Ooh another NSD taking me to 5 for the month so far.

Thought I would spend today as really need soya milk, popped into Tesco on Fri but could only get 6 cartons, I usually buy 16 at a time. Had to go to rubbish tip with some metal but there was a queue while a lorry took away one of the skips so by the time we had unloaded and visited my mum and nieces the shop was shut.
Will try to get some in the week instead.

Today I am grateful for:
1. Lovely weather
2. Time spent on our field and allotment
3. The lovely village I live in - loads of people stopped to chat while I was on the allotment ( a public footpath runs along the front of them all)
