    • Mums washing done and out on line, also fed the animals
    • Mum gave me 2 carrots to go in tomorrows dinner
    • Bought the kids drinks but bought bogofs

    • Caught up with a friend this afternoon, much needed at mo, feeling reallllly stretched :o
    And I will:
    • Job search
    • Submit 4 applications online
    • Compile shopping list for tomorrow and go via mysupermarket to get best deals, print it out

    I think thats it! Really must get an early night tonight, see if that will ease this exhaustion. OH thinks its cos I am really pushing myself, loads of walking etc, but not eating to sustain it. Must admit I am not eating any extra, trying to shift this last 1.5lb! :o

    Take care of yourself Cleosmum and don't overdo it.

    Mizzy, your trip sounds fabulous i am not jealous at all!! Sounds like a trip of a lifetime and if you can manage to do it why not.

    My exiting trip is going to be another day out in London for my birthday, planning on going on my own and visiting Victoria and Albert museum and the natural history museum, so a very dfw day!! Plus pure bliss because i can do what i want to!! I have just gone and booked the travel for £10 return, which i thought was great!
