Sat & Sun 15th & 16th May - What small DFW things have you done today?

determined_new_ms

Morning ladies! So things have taken a turn for the weird ion my house (if they could get any weirder) and I have discovered my dd is not pregnant (no wonder she didn't want me at the scan). Not sure what to make of it all...

So today is a fresh start for me. I intend to learn as of today how to keep my head and not be consumed by the choas that surrounds her, be loving with her, generous with my time if she'll let me, and be firm with my boundaries. No mean feat!! If I want a change then I need to be the change!

So back with the DFW after being derailed there for a while... This wkend:

• finish flylady bits I didn't during the week
• dinner from plan, mmmm enchilliadas
• go for a walk and a drink with oh
• scrabble nd wine at some point
• more gardening/repotting - this could keep me busy all over the summer!
• check ebay
• go play tennis
• go to the gym & for a sauna
• check fridge/stores and make meal plan for next week

ooo lots of things to make me smille!

MORNING ALL!!!!

Determined - WOW - what a shocker.... Amazing news though for her - she can get on with her life now - would it be worth her getting on the pill asap - non of my business I know but just a thought

HAPPEY BIRTHDAY LOTTE - I'm 30 in a month !! looking forward to the BBQ we are having - although OH has decided it is also going to be a world cup party - Charming! HOPE you have a fantastic day!!

Good luck with the organising Milly

So for today for me..

Have worked this morning - overtime - just an hour from home.

Going to have a very low budget day in food as am going to make a real effort for the next month ( up to being 30 ) see if i can make a difference to my weight and feel a bit better for my party.

Have paid 300 off my loan yesterday - pleased with this - hoping to have it clear by july.

OH has just got a tax rebate and has offered to pay our flights to go to my parents place in france over sumer - i'm in two minds about this as I really want to go and get some sun and relax - and it will literally only cost us our flights and food... but then I'm thinking - what about the cost of dog care when we're away and could we use the £300 for flights in a better way... We had agreed not to go away this year. I just keep flitting from - I'm goijng to be exhausted and desperate for a break by summer, then to 'this attitute is exactly why i;m in so much debt' ...RAH

Well rest of today - tidy up and do a bit of cleaning, get some food in but not much - still using freezer stuff up.
Do some washing
go to next with OH he has a load of clothes he got for his birthday that he wants to take back.

out tonight but driving so very low cost night out at friends house. Will eat before so not to be eating loads of crisps!!

Doglets out for walk.

chill out after a very very stressful week of work. ( One half of my face looks like i have chicken pox!! Covered in spot outbreak as so stressed)

had planned to do the garden but its pouring here so maybe tomorro x

Hope you all have a fab day - see you all later x
