Lucielle's daring debt free journey

lucielle

Still hobbling but everyday its getting easier. Trouble is I want to celebrate with chocolate. Not eaten bread for over 2 weeks, which for me is amazing. Had a Splendips for dinner it was nice and makes a change from salad. Also had one of those grabits chicken things again that was filling and I've worked the points out and it was ok.

Haven't got a clue what we are having for tea, current thinking is sausages as they are left from the barbie. Better shake a leg and get going.

Has a bit of a wakeup call this week (apart from Taxi and her news, hugs). A little boy who is DS2s age (11) died on Tuesday. He did have special needs but he was such a lovely little character and his smile could be seen from miles away as it lit up the room. It was completely unexpected. His big brother, who also has special needs cannot understand where his best buddy has gone. My thoughts are with the family.

Today I have done a couple of hours work. Been to Lidl to get some fruit and veg and then I ran amok at the garden centre. I got 3 bags of compost, antirrinhums (sp), nicotina and some silvery bedding plants (can't be bovvered to go and look at what they are called). From a friend I have got some trailing Lobelia which I plant in old wellies and looks good. Some shallots and carrot seeds. So should be a busy bunny.

I have only got DS1 at home as the others are away at Scout Camp. They will be posionous by the time we pick them up.

Had a bad night last night diet wise as we had a take away and I also scoffed a packet of crisps. Toe is nearly there just a twinge now and again when I bend it the wrong way.

Paid £120 off the debt, hoping to whack a bit more off the debt before June 11th when I update again.

Horse is still lame getting worried as there is no obvious swelling and thinking it might be arthritis.

Thats so sad lucielle makes you realise how lucky we are to have healthy kids. I heard of a six year old killed last week when a marble fireplace fell on her as her parents were renovating an old house. I cant get it out of my mind.
Well done on the weight loss, my diet too has taken a back seat for the past week so hope to get back on track. More difficult when you have a poorly toe, hope its better soon. Gardening sounds like its going well though. Rain here today so no gardening for me, will have to pop up to the tunnel to water the toms and sweetcorn though. Enjoy your bank holiday weekend.

Got a lot of planting done and will try and post a pic later of the wellies. Still got some veg planrs to get out. I have been to work for 2 days this week and managed to get in for 6.30 a.m so I could do basic hours and finish at 11.30. Yesterday the chaps were absolute stars as I left the 15 yr old in charge. I came home and they had bathed the dog (needed doing badly as she had found something very dead and fallen in love with it). Cleaned the bathroom, hoovered the living room and lit the fire. DS1 had put the washer on and was in the middle of making bacon butties for lunch. Not very WW friendly but it would've been rude to refuse. I lost a pound this week that half stone is slowly getting nearer.

I am now off for 2 days and have got my niece and nephew for 1 day on a flying visit. OH is bringing them back from the station as I type.
