Skint Spice's journey to being less skinty and more spicy
Comments

can't take my new boots out today cos of the snow - boo!!! I need to go to supermarket as DS has become keen on making himself fruit salads and there's one apple left now! Still he thinks he's Jamie Oliver and it's stopping him eating junk... I think we'll go for a swim too as the gym is close by so seeing the car's out anyway...
P.S. I am back in the 80s - just watched Old Grey Whistle test and I'm wearing a pink batwing jumper:D:o!Mortgage OP 2025 £6250/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

Went swimming (30 lengths for me and 25 for DS) and now have beef and ale casserole cooking which smells fab and all points are counted out and it's very healthy too. Should be plenty to freeze for another day and beef was whoopsied so quite MSE really;)...
P.S. had a peppermint tea after swimming while DS had hot choc - never managed to resist a latte there so rather proud of that:D.Mortgage OP 2025 £6250/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

Currently looking at hols - I know some people think they are a waste of money but I love them:D! Quite like the idea of having some sunshine to look forward to in six months time... I will still get the flat finished before hand so don't worry I've not given up on that just unsure of what is happening jobwise and if I'll be in a position to move:(. But flat will be much nicer and I'll be hitting the mortgage as much as poss if things do look to be going that way. Big uncertainty hanging over lots of folk at the minute so not letting it worry me.
Plus I'll HAVE to go on holiday as I will have a bikini bod by then:D...Mortgage OP 2025 £6250/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

How can a holiday be a waste of money
Lots of people here seem to think that but I think it's great to get away and see somewhere different. But it's my money to waste these days:T:T. and I like to eat lots of different food and swim tons! I was trying to convince DS to go somewhere they had a surf club but still working on that one!
Watching the diet show that was on C4 now - getting worried I'm becoming obsessed:o.Mortgage OP 2025 £6250/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

How long have I been on a diet? still doing ok but back to work tomorrow - will take soup and fruit:D. Can just imagine there being tons of cakes and sweets though... I am strong and shall resist! Took DS swimming again and managed to resist the yummy looking fruit scones afterwards but it was close!
I think I've chosen a holiday but need to have time off okayed before I book, all going well this time in six months I'll be sipping an after dinner drink some where warm. Can see DS driving me nuts looking for places showing the world cup but I'll survive and can't really fit in a holiday later in July so he'll have to cope! I like footie anyway so don't mind watching a few games.
I was about to declare a NSD there but just remembered £3 for drinks (and crips for DS) at gym:D. Have saved lots from not having to drive to work this week!Mortgage OP 2025 £6250/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

I still have enough points to have a wee snack Bob so going to have some ryvita and cottage cheese in a mo - I love that! I was a bit shocked what WW idea of a small portion of potatoes was but explains a lot:o...
Just read your diary and trying not to think about freshly baked bread:drool:....
DS wanted to go to Culzean today for a walk but just no point driving unnecessarily at the minute. Do love it there when it's cold and crowd free....
P.S. Tonights dinner was spag bol and have put half in the freezer so getting organised for back to work stuff!Mortgage OP 2025 £6250/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000
