Sounds a good plan mart, why only fortnightly weigh-ins though not weekly??

Have to be realistic and say that most of the weigh-ins will be filmed and put out on the Player channel on the website. I'm hoping to get the assistant manager (who recently ran a half marathon in 1 hr 15 mins at the age of 38) involved but I have to be careful especially during the football season not to demand too much of him. Also, the ten fans may not all live locally to the club either so have to watch that too.

Well good luck with it Mart, I bought some Green & Blacks choccy tonight, have pointed it all and decided that I'd rather have a few squares of decent choccy than a bar of oily cheap chocolate.

Thank goodness its friday again tomorrow, its been a long week for some reason. Tomorrow after school ds has his school disco so I will be doing some exercise then, then on saturday we are going to a den-building session at his school ... not really sure what to epect but hopefully will be fun Then in the evening he's going to his dads for the night and I'm going to crouchys house for the first time, woohoo

Evening Finally its friday night, been a long old week ...

Tonight ds has been at his school disco, I ended up going to Sainsburys to do the shopping instead of exercising I have stuck to the diet again though today :T Spent £35 in sainsburys.

Tomorrow we're going to the den building session at school, then straight to meet muppet ex for ds to go to his and then I'm straight off to crouchys, for a walk / fun / night out at a bar / more fun / lazy morning then home to collect ds I have saved my weekly points for vodka tomorrow night and am looking forward to it already

Afternoon Home again, had a nice weekend, the event at ds school was good fun, we built a shelter in the woods and they tested them with buckets of water, ours passed :T

Then I took ds to meet his dad and he went off with him while I went to crouchys for the night. His house was nice but very blokey lol ... very comfy bed, may look into getting myself a new mattress as it highlighted how rubbish mine is. Went to Ikea this morning, got myself my new big green plant for the lounge which I've been meaning to sort for months.

Collected ds and surprise surprise ... muppet is out of work again ... which mens goodbye maintenance payments yet again :cool:

Spends this weekend = £9 lunch in Ikea, £21 plant and plantpots in Ikea

My isa payment has gone out today, another £50 into the mortgage pot

Spends today = £4.50 on bread, milk, cheese and ham.
The front trim bit on the car was hanging off today, I was very proud of myself for managing to tie it back on til I got home and then fixing it all by myself tonight :j

Tomorrow ds is going on a school trip so I'm hoping he'll go to bed nice and early tonight as he is very excited. Its only to the next village to look at the local area, BUT they are going on the train (only one stop) so he is utterly thrilled at the idea of going on a train with his teacher and his class

My new plant is settling in nicely, I gave him a nice big drink and he's perked up a bit already

So once ds is in bed (hopefully in about 15 minutes), then I will be having my bath, taming my eyebrows and having an early night myself as I'm really sleepy again tonight.

Reached £20 payout on a survey site :beer: Added to the pot although haven't actually cashed it in yet on the site.

After school today we went to the park for a bit then for a walk along the beach, was absolutely gorgeous down there tonight

When we got home I have cleaned the bathrooom, got the dinner, tideied up and hoovered, emptied the dishwasher, put the washing machine on, and am about to have a shower then do a few more pottering about bits

Spends today = £5 on bits and pieces in the local shop, really must go back to a proper weekly shop

Forgot to mention on monday that I spoke to the csa again and they promised to chase up the ex for this months payment. They said they would contact me with an outcome by tuesday pm, and if he hadn't paid they would be handing the case over to debt enforcement ....

So, as its now wednesday pm and I hadn't heard anything, I decided to call them myself for an update, to be told that they haven't had a chance yet to try and contact him and could I call again later in the week :mad: :mad: Sometimes they can be really on the ball, other times utterly useless, guess its one of those times again

Last night I had a webcam chat with my old uni mate in America. I was supposed to be having an early night but ended up swithcing off the laptop at about 12.30 so consequesntly today have been absolutely shattered It was lovely to see him though, hasn't changed a bit, and we chatted on and on for hours

No chance of an early night tonight either as I'm going out for a leavers meal with some of the year 13's. Spends so far today = £2.80 on lunch, £2.90 in tesco express on milk, bread etc.
