    Hi 40SM

    Hope life is easier with the boot. My Mum broke her metarsal before Christmas and was in a cast for 9 weeks, then the boot which she found much easier.

    Enjoy today, I remember when I made my first Holy Communion like it was yesterday. I kept gipping at the taste of the host. Then it stuck to the roof of my mouth and I daren't poke it down with a finger because it was the Body of Christ and I didn't want to hurt him! :rotfl:

    Have a lovely day x

    Hi ,

    Sorry not updated for a couple of weeks:o

    The communion went very well and I even managed to look Ok in the pictures:)

    I NOW need to get back on track as I have a LOT of tax to pay very soon:(.

    I go back to the hospital in a week so I hope to get rid of the boot then:)

    Ok , I need to get a plan of action re things I need to get done this week :)

    Work....... need to fit in 45 hrs ( this is going to be difficult as am sharing car with DH at the moment). DID NOT ACHIEVE THIS DUE TO BREAKING MY ANKLE

    Finances.... need to pay the following : ALL PAID
    Capital one £300
    School Dinners £22
    School Trip £13.20
    Tesco Cc £25
    Tax £400 ( I now need to be paying this every week :eek:) £400 Paid that week but nothing else since:(

    I also need to work out a cunning plan for the electricity bill. PAID



    Health & fitness..... time is running out for me to fit into dress so let the dieting commence. No alcohol, reduced carbs for the next 2 weeks:eek: No need to comment here;)

    The old roots are beginning to show so need to buy some hair dye and actually find some time to apply dye. Thankfully done

    Exercise ...:o Walk the dog every day..... energetically... will that do ? Can't even walk !!

    Housework.... Will get back to you on that one:o:o Very Frustrated that I can't do housework ( never thought I would hear myself say that)


    Me-time....
    I have started comping and am enjoying that so intend to fit in a few every day. You have got to be in it to win it. I am now sick of me-time

    Read a book every week. I LOVE reading so need to get back to that. Nope


    Now just need to find time for DH & the kids:rotfl::rotfl:(oh and the housework) Well I am at home more than usual:o

    Enjoy your day

    40SMxx


    Since breaking my ankle a few weeks ago I have lost my mojo as regards to writing my diary:o In an effort to get it back I thought I would Go back at look at plans just before my "accident". Not much achieved :(Now need to get on and focus on this month

    Sending you bearhugs, me darling :D

    Don't beat yourself up about what you haven't done, just look at the positive of what you have achieved, especially considering your current foot situation

    take care
