This is what I have to accomplish for the rest of the weekend:
(feeling slightly overwhelmed)
1. clean bathroom (it's minging)
2. iron (will do tonight while watching XFactor)
3. go for a run at some point-DH on nights tonight and going on a Harley ride-out in the morning...
4. I have been allowed 4 hours of O/T at work and have a load of renewals I can do on my laptop (and need the money!)
5. shop-no food in the house
6. Go to nephews baptism tomorrow at 3pm.
Can someone please organise me?Empty pockets never held anyone back, only empty heads and empty hearts can do that -Peale0 -
Best of all, I had the second social services assessment, and he's agreed to me having five hours a week - an hour twice a week for showers, and three hours at the beginning of the week for laundry, veg chopping and making sure I'm organised for the week. Hopefully there'll be the odd ten minutes left here and there to do bits of housework too, yay! It's still got to get past the panel who control the money, but fingers crossed.

It's normal to hit a plateau when you are close to your goal weight Sal-you need less calories now you weigh less. It will shift, keep at it and life is for living, not beating yourself up over a few bites of cake for goodness sakes!Empty pockets never held anyone back, only empty heads and empty hearts can do that -Peale0

Am feeling a little better than I did last night. All got grumpyfied cos OH had spend the whole day at Ascot (didn't get home til 11pm) and then decided to tell me he was going to the footy (wouldnt have seen him at all today either) AND he's got quad biking tomorrow. Didn't pitch a fit, was just grumpy and blue, so he phoned his mate this morning, told him he won't be going to footy so he can spend time with me.
Have only been back half an hour...went to the city, did a lil shopping (needed another jumper for when it gets cold) and watched District 9 - cracking if you like sci-fi and weirdness. Just waiting for him to come back from le pub to cook dinner and we're gonna have a snuggly evening on the sofa** Total debt: £6950.82 ± May NSDs 1/10 **** Fat Bum Shrinking: -7/56lbs **
**SPC 2012 #1498 -£152 and 1499 ***
I do it all because I'm scared.

Ok, Whilst the kids are in the bath, clean sink, toilet and hoover/mop, clean bath once they are out
Iron the clothes later
Get up early before DH goes off on bike to do run, come home and then shop at 10am once opens. Nip home do 2 hours of work (chuck kids in garden)
Baptism then home and do another 2 hours of work in the eveningI'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change And breakaway. I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change and breakaway ....
