Afternoon Diary,
Thank you WF.
So the chicken is in and smelling delicious. Going to start writing down what I've eaten in my diary too as I did this at the start of last year and its been useful looking back for ideas.
Think I mentioned before today is NSD1, going to set myself a goal of 12 which should be doable.
We have all just been for a walk, its quite chilly out there when you're out a while! Nice to get some fresh air and steps in though. We walked just over 2 miles. Looks like we got back just in time for the rain starting.
Food today:
Breakfast - weetabix
Lunch/snack - small banana and 4 crackers with butter
Tea - chicken, stuffing, mash and roast potatoes, parsnips, carrots, broccoli, peas, leeks and yorkshire puddings
Totally looking forward to my tea!
Will have this early-ish and then have a nice bath and chill with DH. We will probably catch up on some more peaky blinders which we have just got into.
Tomorrow will be a spend day as need teabags (only have 4 left :eek:) and milk.

Your eating sounds good MTG. I gave DS1 the last packet of mince pies to take to his friend's house on new year's eve and he brought the whole lot back uneaten :mad:. With temptation in front of me I managed to eat four of them :mad: so you're doing a lot better than me. If DH doesn't eat the rest today then I think I'll bin them tonight so I can't eat any more.
Your walk sounds nice, I love winter walks.

Evening Diary,
Tea was absolutely delicious, I do love a tasty roast.
Haha HHOD can't believe DS brought back the mince pies. Everyones probably had enough of them by this point. I don't like mince pies so wouldn't be tempted in the slightest!
DH is currently in a stand off with DD1 about the state of her bedroom. DD2 has done her tidying and is in bed watching TV like some kind of angel ha!!!
I have had my bath and a facial and am now settled down for the evening.
I am going to start posting a couple of positives/MSE things I've done in the day, so will start today :money:
* had NSD1 of the month
* went out for a family walk
* whipped up some cream nearly past its best and will use on a hot chocolate
Signing off for the night now, catch up tomorrow xxMummytogirls x0 -
I like your idea of posting positive/MSE things each day. Enjoy your relax

Morning Diary,
Its my last day off today boohooooo!!! I do enjoy pottering about at home, however I do know that I would not have my life by pottering about all the time! Could not get to sleep again last night, this will change as soon as I'm back at work and gym ha!!
So today we need to nip to Mr T's for teabags and milk but will pick other bits I need whilst I'm there to save me going again for a couple of weeks. Ive put it into the app and it should come to no more than £20. We will also pop to the farmshop for the same road for pastys and sausages. Should come to no more than £10. Will report back later.
Im also going to fire up my old laptop and update my signature!
Other plans for today are to make spaghetti bolognaise for tea and go to body pump class.
Have a great day all xxMummytogirls x0 -

I also love pottering at home,but after 3 months off work I'm looking forward to getting backto work next week even though i'm only going back part time as I have to have a phased return.0 -
I know what you mean Pennywise, part time will be nice for you to get back into it. Plus not long before half term :beer: not that I'm counting ha!!!
I have updated my signature, must keep up to it now but the direct debits just go out and another month goes by!
Checked off the bank account, most of the direct debits have gone out now so just need to keep within budget for the next 3.5 weeks.
