Pay off mortgage and start having fun!

The waterslide one is my favourite! A lovely list and varied too. Have fun achieving them all! A friend of mine has just taken up rollerskating in her 50s and is really enjoying it.

That's a great bucket list. We watched a movie outside on holiday recently, it was great.

That's a really good list-some big things, and some smaller things too.

I think I've been thinking too 'big'. I need a mix of things.

I think I'll jot down things when I think of it, and then review it in a few months.

I can recommend a cruise though:)

When you have afternoon tea, make strawberry sandwiches.

Yum.

Strawberry sarnies :huh: sounds different, is it just strawberries or with cream?

A lazy day today, dh is at work, dd at the cinema, boys doing their own thing.

I treated myself to some new scales yesterday as the old ones shattered ( not with me on them ) Scarily though they measure your body fat :eek: 36% it's time to do something about it I think.

I need to cut out alcohol as it makes me eat more in the evenings, It's an easy way to relax when stressed out and busy still in the evenings. The plan is to try and get on top of as much as possible earlier in the day and then spend the evening if indoors doing a craft project , hopefully it will reduce the amount of wine and junk eaten

Strawberries. Thinly sliced. A little butter. Sprinkle of sugar.

Will give that a try thanks

Dh at work again today, stress is building massively at the moment but hopefully the battle with the involved parties will be resolved soon, we have been disagreeing over what to do decision wise as well which doesn't help, hopefully it will calm down soon.

A successful day yesterday, after three years I have finally used my sewing machine I worked out how to thread (it took a while!) I washed and cut up an old duvet cover and sewed some Squares together, it's a bit wonky though.

Now I just have to go to h*bbycraft today! I want a proper ruler as mine is too small and they have lots of pre cut fabric bundles in the sale for £6 , it would be rude not to

The kids are happy as all three managed to get into the cinema yesterday to see the inbetweeners although two were a year too young, dh took them last minute when he got in from work, I did want to go but was already in pjs sewing.

Diet going badly, reducing alcohol intake going well

I seem to be able to do one or the other but not both.

I need to get some when I move away and am thinking of getting the body fat ones...I need to look at what is out there.

Oops I've been so busy it's been four days since I posted :

Things are falling into place fingers crossed for dh at work, it's looking like we have a buyer for the old factory and they want to exchange at the start of next week, this means all going well that we can but the new place we are currently renting :T

Yesterday was spent running the kids around separately all over the place, today will be housework, maybe a swim and a curry out with the girls tonight. Tomorrow we are going to Southend for the day with a friend and her kids, I think I will need a rest after the holidays

The budget was going very well, except I splashed out on bits for dd as she is going to a festival next week, I then Got carried away in primarni and bought a new duvet , little sparkly lights, cushions and a throw for our bedroom - I love bedclothes the way other people like shoes or bags :rotfl: now I have an "autumn" set so I don't have to use my red tartan ones until December

I really need to balance the accounts now and work out the damage I've done. Also top of today's list is start a proper strict diet, cutting down is not working, so last night I made 7 portions of veggie curry for my dinners, I lost 2 stones a few years ago by having soup for lunch, curry for dinner it's repetitive but it did work for me, just wish I was not eating out tonight as it's not the best start

Oops also bought some £12 trainers that were much need thanks to martins email this week!
