Today we went to tescos this morning and spent £42 which isn't too bad as that includes all 3 boxes of ceral as they had all run out, and a huge jar of coffee, all of which will last longer than a week so quite pleased overall.

After lunch we have walked to the local train station and sat there for an hour watching trains, well ds watched them I read my book , before walking home again. We both had our 'Walk with me' measure things in our pockets and so far today I've done 7,500 steps and he's done 9,500 :j Mine doesn't include shred obviously, so overall am pleased with todays activity levels Other than tescos (which comes out of the food budget) today has been my second nsd of August too :T

Been for lunch with mum and my sister and her kids, then nipped into Sainsaburys for a couple of bits (£7). Ds wants to veg and watch a dvd this afternoon, he's tired today so am happy to let him chill out for a bit

Well I could see my afternoon being whiled away on here so decided we needed to go out We went up to the park, I took my book and ds played happily for an hour or so, then on the way back we popped into the hairdressers and I have booked an appointment for tomorrow afternoon for a full head of highlights and a cut and blow-dry ... no change from £100 but am looking forward to it and it desperately needs doing. I only have my hair done about twice a year so its not too bad really, friend has hers done every month and costs her £37 a month and she doesn't have any colour on it and hers is a short crop so grows out quickly.

Just off to get ds tea and then bathtime before a lazy evening

Ds is in bed and I'm mooching trying to decide on my new hair colour; I tend to always go for the same hairstyle now (type Kelly Clarkson into google, press images and scroll down to where it says page three and its the b/w onw on the second row), just need to decide whether i want to go really blonde again, mid brown with chunky highlights or stay brown Am tending towards blonde ...

Morning all, day 4 of shred is done :j I ached last night but was okay this morning so got up and got on with it, I make myself do it before I switch the laptop on as otherwise I would never get round to it Scales are saying I've put a pound on this week though

No maintenance money in yet, the csa said they'd try and take it from his account on 1st and I should get it in a couple of days so thought it might arrive today, but no

So, today is haircut day, ds is going round to mums for the afternoon while I'm there. Not sure what else wew're doing yet though.
