Morning all Sun is shining and it should be a lovely day again today, BUT ... we are having some flts refurb'ed next to us and the builders are here 6 days a week banging and stuff, and today *should* be our day off from the noise, but the council have given the water board permission to dig so they have their pneumatic drills going right outside :mad: :mad: I'm really sick of it, its all been going on since June and god knows when they'll all be done, I just feel like we live on a building site 24/7 at the moment :mad:

Other than that, today I need to get housework done, some food shopping done, collect the photobook I made the other day and then go over to Mums for dinner this afternoon

10p, 20p and 25p on the scratchcards today

The even worse bit is that starting tomorrorw the council are resurfacing the road. Being a main road they think it is better to do it in the evenings so traffic is less disrupted, so they will be working from 6pm - 1am every night (mon-fri) for 6 weeks :eek: :eek: :mad: :mad: :mad: It is ridiculous, I just hope ds can get to sleep as he has school obviously and bedtimes can be bad enough without that going on as well :rolleyes: and just to make it even worse, about 100m along the road thy have taken out the 4way traffic lights to replace them, put in temporary ones (for yet another 6 weeks :mad:) that only allow one way traffic so there is a constant jam and it takes me ages to get anywhere if I go out. Aaaaaagggggggggggghhhhhhhh!!!!!

That *is* carp, Benben ...I hope they hurry up about it all, for your sake.

You have my sympathies BenBen - why do workmen fixing roads take so long?......one of my pet hates

Just keep thinking - only 6 weeks to go....

By lunchtime I'd had enough of the noise, so we went out and got the photobook I ordered the other day, (its really cute and totally free :T), and some food shopping (£31). I couldn't face queuing up in the traffic to get back home so we went to mums instead for the afternoon and had dinner there. When we got back it was the usual sunday mad rush of baths / ironing / homework etc, ready for school tomorrow. I've really enjoyed this weekend but still feel knackered, don't feel ready for another week at all :rolleyes:

Other than the food shopping it has been a nsd today
Tomorrow I have a meeting at work after school so need to try and find some energy from somewhere

benbenandme

Another day at school done No money spent today either :T Nothing much else to report, early night needed here again

Morning £10 received in the bank from a mystery shop, duly moved to the mortgage pot. Scales are scaring me now, really must do something properly about my weight, will have a think today about rejoining WW, yes it is expensive but it does make me stick to the diet :rolleyes: Will give it a ponder during a dull lesson

Off to do the scratchies, have a good day

I restarted my diet yesterday - day one went well.........just hope I can see out day two and three to give me a chance of sticking to it.

My scales said 11st 8.5 lbs yesterday.......my first goal is to get to 10st 13......then to 10st 6, which is the upper end of my "healthy" bmi........then it would be very nice to see 9st 13, although that is going to take some determination and a severe amount of will power.

Right now, if I can get through day 2, I will be happy :rotfl:

Didn't get a chance to post last night, was on babysitting duty for my dad. I have decided to rejoin WW, am off tonight to sign up again, I'm not feeling hugely motivated tbh but I deperately need to do something as I look pregnant

Today I have spent £1.78 on lunch as I didnt have a packed lunch as I stayed over at Mums last night, I do need to go and get some food shopping too tonight so that will go up a bit too.

25p and 10p on scratchies today, nothing much else to report so far, will be back later after I've been to WW
