Thats allI can think of fornow but it will be added to I am also seeing some friends tomorrow and meeting Tigzem on friday. It needs to be a pretty cheap week too as I think I'm just about out of money this month now

I'm also making an effort weight-wise again. My friend has lost 5 stone and I saw her for the first time in ages at the weekend and she looks fantastic It was very inspiring to get off my !!!! once again I am going to break it down into fortnightly chunks and I really will / must start using the free gym at work as from next week. I've got no excuse not to as we will be finishing earlier when we go back, so now I will finish at 3.05 and ds finishes after school club at 4.15, so I have time to do at least half an hour, hopefully 3 times a week

Oh goodness! Thats a clean version of what I said when I saw the length of that list! :eek:

Mind you, you *are* organised. I have faith! :j

I went and did the first mystery shop no problem, but the second one wasn't so good :rolleyes: I browsed then as I wasn't approached I went and asked someone for help and he said he'd be over as soon as he was free ... 20 minutes later I gave up :mad: I've changed the date on the system and will re-do it on wednesday :rolleyes: We then went to mcdonalds and shared a happy meal (2.27).

I've also been to mums and collected the piglets who are running round my lounge squeaking away quite happily at the moment Mum is doing a roast tonight so we're going back over there for dinner at 5 I've got a couple of hours to mooch on here and hopefully cross something else off my list

Karmacat

Benben, doesn't that count? Thats a report on the whatever-it-is, surely? :mad: on your behalf.

benbenandme

Nope KC, its with Gap so they'd never pay as I didn't complete the shop :rolleyes: I just wasn't prepared to stay there any longer as there were hardly any staff in and loads of people bank holiday shopping :mad: :rolleyes: Its not far from home so I'll nip in there on wednesday before I do the other shop

Back from mums now, ds is in bed and need to crack on a bit more with the list tbh I have almost sorted Septembers budget now too

tigzem

Looking forward to Friday, hope will be a cheap day, train and ice-cream money only. Will spk nearer then to conf time. Are you taking a picnic? x
