Go on, what's 70 lengths in kms/miles?

About 3 hours on the sofa

Seems I'm not the only one with dodgy approved food items left knocking about!

Peonie GG Is right it is about 3 hours on the sofa I tried to google the length of the pool but no luck, I think it's a big width ish in length I still ache tonight , and have arranged to go again tomorrow, I don't think I can keep this up forever.

10p op made today, and tomorrow I can use the cc again :j

Shopping wish list:
Vegan chocolate if possible
Wine
That's all I need :rotfl:

Another 70 lengths done and still walking upright

I feel a bit lost on a Friday now as there are no wages to shuffle about now dh gets paid monthly. But the good news is I've done my online shop and got free delivery and £12 off from mr s. £112 spent on mainly store cupboard stuff so I will still have to buy "proper food " as well.

Off to the frozen food shop now and hopefully will be able to catch up on some diaries later.

Haha, I have days where I feel much better knowing there is wine in the fridge!

Well done on the lengths again, swimming really is one of the best exercises you can do so you should be getting super fit!

Well done on the swimming newgirly - definitely deserve the wine and chocolate!!

Sadly the chocolate does not arrive until the shopping get delivered on Tuesday.

I've done something a little frivolous this morning and bid on a bed for the new loft room. We have lost a few on fleabay already, and this one is unusual. It's a antique gothic style pine bed , I've put a max of £410 on, it's got four hrs left and is on £310. It's daft but I'll be pleased if I get it and also pleased if I don't if it goes over that as its a lot of money for a second hand bed. The frivolous part is I can't get the money to cover it for a couple of months

The budget for the bed, mattress , bathroom suite , and carpet will be £1328 saved over the next few months.

Ops made last few days 10p per day, weight lost on new vegan but still eat a lot diet 3 1/2 lbs since Sunday :j

Bed update, now £420 so lost , probably for the best

Off to a slow start today as we had a late one last night with friends for a birthday at a pub. We may be going to see Star Trek today if we ever get everyone up and ready and I can bring myself to pay a fortune for the tickets.

The house is a tip at the moment , I have washing and a mountain of ironing to do , and I really can't be bothered

Hope everyone is having a good weekend

Star Trek was FANTASTIC yesterday, and not too busy as we went "normal " not 3D

I picked up dd's prom dress and its perfect , plus the dressmaker has made a stole to match too. It's one thing ticked off the list , just the exams to get through now. DD is getting a lot of pressure from one particular teacher at the moment to attend all her revision classes , which means missing some other subjects revision classes. If she does not comply, she won't be able to re do some work and submit it like everyone else. :mad: DD has already had help from another teacher over the matter and is begging me to stay out of it, but I am itching to sort it out. The whole class did not go today, so I would love to know what she will do now.
She also has a much lower course work grade than expected, does anyone know who actually grades course work at gcse (science)? is it. Just the teacher or the exam board as well? I am so ignorant about a lot of what is going on during the exams, I feel like I want to sort it out , but not make matters harder for her.

It's so annoying as she is such a hard worker and is in early, out late and working through lunch every day,she even went in every day of the Easter holidays.

Argh, where e long post I wrote :mad:

In a nutshell:

Spent over half of this months budget in first 3 days :eek:
Tank of petrol
£112 sainsburys shop
Couple of small bits in primarni

I have all 3 kids birthdays in July and no money put by this year due to the loft saving. Dd needs a laptop for college so I am trying to have 3 super frugal months to pay for said birthdays.

Money left until 24th June:

£212 available on the cc
£150 in cash ( have squirrelled a bit away)

Aim is to just live off e £150 until the 24th June.
