    Hi wantabetterlife - no have only got Davina and Pilates for Dummies in the home fitness department! The rest of my repetoire is made up of running and yoga - though they have both slipped in recent months.

    BTD, if you have any kind of infection it's best not to anyway - so perfect excuse ;)

    The plan is to do Davina 2 nights and run 2 twice. Maybe if I'm feeling adventurous I'll throw in Pilates too. Yoga is £5 a class so is not very :money: - though the DVD Hypno mentioned looks good so I might invest, as I do love it.....

    *off to drink water to melt away the lbs* :D

    Right, I'm going to turn in early tonight. Either I'm worn out from all my early starts / not sleeping or Davina has done me in!

    No attempt at money making has been made today, so must try harder tomorrow.

    I feel like I've had all the moisture sucked out of my head - urghhh. Off to drink water and sleep - night all x

    Well done Hopeful :T My Sis rang from the States so I was on the phone to her for an hour instead :o

    I was awake again in the night. Since having little DD, sleeping patterns have been all over the place. She only started sleeping though the night about 8 months ago so I now get bouts of insomnia.......Thank God for the Winter Olympics!!!

    This morning I woke feeling like I've been hit by a bus :( - plus my botty muscles are killing me after the exercise :D

    Money making wise, Feb has been a washout, so I MUST get my act together for March. I reached payout on one scratch, so £5 requested.

    Still in bed, so must shake a leg and get them ready for school! Think we're gonna be late today :eek:

    Think of the firmness lol :p

    Did you make it to school on time? DS1 is off today feeling v under the weather with a cold, sore throat and headache. He is managing to play his DS though despite the ailments lol

    I sympathise with the sleeping. DS1 didn't sleep through until he was 2. I felt worse than the walking dead at times. I'm slightly more hopeful that the little chunky one will have it sussed quicker.

    Have a good day xxx

    Good Evening! :hello:

    It's freezing here today. It was lashing down on the way to school where I discovered a hole in my boot :( I felt like Neil from the Young Ones!

    Foodwise I've been "good" today. Toast for break, fruit for lunch (unintentional, as I was out and about) and the rest of my Golden Veg Stew for tea with a couple of Quorn sausages thrown in - ooh the excitement.
    (I did bite the bum off a Lindt Chocolate bunny though - so it's not been all bad :D)

    My bottom half is very sore today after exercising yesterday. I think the Davina DVD is aimed at pear shaped people - I'm an apple sadly, so I might do the abs and arms bit twice instead next time.....


    Moneywise, I will have to issue a refund to the Ebayer who did not receive the item - so that's £18 down. Hopefully I can claim this back from Royal Mail.

    I've received a £30 off if you spend £85 from Ocado, so I might use that for our big monthly shop this month. I know it's probably false economy as Waitrose is the M&S of supermarkets, but if I go for own brand it might be worth it???
    I need to seriously get to grips with the food budget and meal planning this month. It's one area where I can shave off some cash - so will look at that tonight.
