Morning all, a late night in the end as I couldn't get to sleep last night, so not feeling 100% awake yet this morning. Toadys plans are very few, a trip to tescos for a few bits and some ironing. Other than that some pottering about and not much else Five days to go until we break up so I also want to try and get some bits booked in for next week too.

Oops, just remembered I've got a mystery shop to do today too, almost forgot!

Mystery shop all completed and submitted, that earns me £5 for doing it and £3 towards what I spent. I spent £4.24 on bread, milk etc, so will just put £5 in the mortgage pot and the other £1.24 (after expenses) will go into my spend diary.

Trying to persuade ds to get on withhis homework, he's not happy about it ...

Oh, and I also text sailor man and asked if he wants to go to a firework event on 30th Oct. I know its early for bonfire night but ds is away that weekend and also I will be taking him out on bonfire night anyway. He replied to say it sounds great and will check the dates and let me know

hi benben
wow what a roller coaster ride you have continued to be on since I was last on your diary.

Hurray for having the bail lifted, that must have been such a relief. I take it that means that they don't now think they are involved? Phew!

Also I am very impressed by your dedication to getting rid of your mortgage. I really wished that I had got a handle on matched betting, that is a great extra income stream you are generating.

Hope you have a great rest of the year, in case I don't get on again:eek:

Thanks Chev, yep they now know I had nothing to do with it, I'm just waiting to hear whats happening next, should hear in the next couple of weeks I think

Today was almost a nsd (just 75p on a snack at school). Today was a nice straightforward kinda day. Since coming home I've got the dinner, tidied it all up, we've both had baths and while ds was having his I whizzed round and made sure everythings still tidy in the flat, so its nice to know that everythings straight I'm in bed (with ds) and the laptop. Heating still isn't on, don't need it when its nice and cosy warm after a hot bath

Evening all, another fairly good moneywise, spent £2 on lunch. I need to get lunches back under control as I'm wasting far too much money on stuff I shouldn't be buying. On that note I have decided to have a mega blitz on my figure for one month. I am going to give Alli a go. I want to lose one stone in a month. I was doing so well before and it is gradually all going back on, so I need to do something about it now before it is too late. Its gonna be tough, but I reckon if I give it a go for one month and then I can see where I'm at. Tomorrow morning I will weigh in for the start. I haven't ordered the Alli tablets yet, but having read their website I need to start the low-fat diet for a few days before I take them anyway, so I can be getting on with that bit while I'm waiting for them to arrive anyway.
