    Skint - dont worry as soon as I saw how nice it was today I was mentally calculating how many loads of washing I would be able to get dry - the thought of a barbeque didnt even enter my head!

    I have been looking at holidays to Sri Lanka today for 2 adults and 2 children - well we can dream cant we! xx

    Ooo, good point Bob, must change my clubcard vouchers for some days out ones.

    mmm, Sri Lanka would be lovely Penguin...one day...

    I think I have my final load of washing outside now although there will be more tomorrow!

    Gym was lovely and quiet and relatively cool due to the air con! just waiting for my toenails to dry as it's too hot for shoes so need to stick sandals on for the first time this year. Must remember the suncream before I head out again.

    Have managed to iron all the washing and put it away and remake bed. Lounge tidied, car washed and some weeding done. Just been for a nice swim and a sauna so all relaxed now and having a nice glass of wine - bliss!

    P.S. that's the first time I've ever washed that car by hand so very MSE!!!!

    Need to get my butt in gear as I've still got the kitchen and bathroom to tidy and DS bed to do. Need to go to the supermarket too for fruit and veg.
    First things first - off to the gym...

    Enjoy the sunshine everyone. x

    Kitchen and bathroom done, floors washed, front door cleaned and DS's wardrobe floor cleared. He promises to do the rest of the room over the next week.

    Went to my folks this evening and walked back so that was another couple of miles in addition to the gym today. Lots of tourists about cos it's bloomin lovely today - should have seen the chippie queue! (was passing BTW not buying!)

    soooo tired tonight but I think we might go down the beach for a bit - might as well make the most of the sunshine!
    I've started a wee tin and I'm sticking all spare money in there for the holiday spends, so £23 up so far (mix up with childcare helping out a fair bit there). caught myself looking at hols again - have resisted though.

    NSD 1 for June (not counting childcare as there's no choice there).

    Hi Skint, hope you are enjoying the beach and well done on the NSD's!

    There is a 'lose 7lbs in June' thread on the Health and Beauty board if you wanted some support. x x x x
