    Oh I dont eat that stuff either Skint, it was dinner for the lads.

    I had a veg curry in Mozzas and OH had a chicken leg and a pork chop with gravy as he came home to an empty house:rotfl:
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    well I've had a few days rest from the gym and seem to have aquired a tickly cough now - boo!!!! Have worked out next months budget and despite HUGE credit card bill and holiday I should manage to save a tiny bit which is a relief. Need to sort out car breakdown cover though and getting close to needing new tyres...there's always something...

    whoops, breakdown cover still not sorted - found myself looking at clothes online instead :o but in my defence I managed not to buy any:eek:.

    Have spent most of the day tidying, shredding and filing...joy, deep joy:rolleyes:. Car is washed and most of the washing is done:T. Bedroom is now ready to paint so might start with an undercoat tomorrow - need to change it from deep blue colour to cream instead. That will be another one of my jobs on my list sorted.

    So list for the weekend:

    1. Go to gym three times.
    2. Start on painting bedroom.
    3. Look at blinds for bedroom.
    4. Ironing
    5. Bake for Sunday
    6. Menu plan and shop.

    Still lurking around with a hope of some salvation:cool:

    I feel like I do loads of ironing every week but then there's always more the next week! Glad there's only two of us in that respect...

    Well I got up to date with the ironing so far and went to the gym, I hadn't been since Monday and was a bit nervous about having left it so long (was feeling pants) but I ran better than ever before so I think I needed the break:j:j. Still utterly pants at lifting weights though...
