Sorry about the ring newgirly

Thanks guys, you never know it may turn up in the future somewhere odd! I have not worn it as an engagement ring for years as it's yellow gold and my wedding ring (mark three!) is platinum which I wear with a platinum trilogy which I preferred, its silly but because of the three kids

Anyway, I've had the best nights sleep in ages , i ordered the new Amazon firstick from Argos and you got a £5 free voucher over £50 so I ordered some "hotel quality" pillows with a discount, I have slept for 10 hours -it's a miracle :rotfl: Next to use the £5 voucher , possibly towards a bottle of decadence perfume for dds birthday which has already got £14 off.
Mse stuff for today:
Take back black jeans for refund to cc
Ditto pj's
Draw cash out to live on (cc being used for many festival tickets!) £440 left after a little Aldi shop
Ask Dd when I can cancel her phone contract, she wants to take out a new one herself.

Hi vix, no I haven't forgotten as I have a little book with presents in so I don't forget

All odd jobs done except the meal planning and ironing, need to get back on track with my meals especially as I've overeaten this weekend. It's started off badly after buckets of booze at the leaving do Friday night followed by a 1am trip to a kebab van with the guys from work where I ate a huge bag of greasy chips. I have until Thursday to turn things round.
Back on the mfp today as still not doing WW points as I'm sick of all the free foods
also not excercising as it's cold and I can't be bothered. Strangely not doing too badly despite that though and lost 5lb so far this year. MFW 67 - Finally mortgage free! 💙😁0 -
Skipped the ironing again in favour of batch cooking for some of us for some of the week:
3x portions veggie tikka masala
3x quorn tikka masala
2x2 veg pasta sauce portions
3x veggie spag bowl
2x veggie chilli
3x veg soup
Roast chicken dinner for tonight
Pack lunch salad for me for work
Then popped round mum's to drop something off where is was told I smelt of school dinners :rotfl:
Came home and had a bath....MFW 67 - Finally mortgage free! 💙😁0 -

Food shop done-£66 plus petrol £36 , plus another £30 for a resit for ds2 at college as he wants to retake to try and up his mark. Not sure £440 will see us until march

Made some painful festival purchases today £510 and £93, just previously ds2 complained that I'd been shopping and there was no nice food - it's all fruit, veg, meat etc. some yellow stickered tea cakes and bits and bobs. Tongue in cheek really but "why do you buy cr @p food mum?' He asked me! er that will be so we can spend even more on your birthdays son, shall I stop? 'Nah your alright then' he replied :rotfl::rotfl:MFW 67 - Finally mortgage free! 💙😁0
