  • I'm sure you will be on that credit card and wouldn't be surprised if it isn't done by Christmas. 
    That's good going with the weight loss.
    Have a lovely week. x

    thanks guys

    Been a active morning wee one crashed out on the couch poor wee mite is shattered.

    Got up did my crosstrainer this morning was hoping it would ease the muscle off in the right thigh which i think it has but squats have a lot to answer for  

    had to go collect a parcel from the post office so seeing as i only had one wee one i decided we would go for a walk to get it.  it was my utensils for the mud kitchen so just waiting on hubby's game I ordered last week which is for his birthday next week.

    I popped into the range and bought Peggy her treats £6 then it was off to asda for macaroni for the kids dinner tonight as requested by Kaleb.  ended up spending £14 on macaroni, toothpaste, potatoes and 2 ready meals quite expensive if you ask me.

    Walked home and made lunch.  then wee one grabbed his blanket and went to sleep

    Avon customer paid for her order yesterday so sent the money straight over to the plasterer pot so now just need to get the bathroom stripped so he can get in and get the job done.

    also booked the carpet cleaner to come and do my bedroom carpet on the 23rd so that's another job off my to do list.

    next job is to get a proper set up ladders and a loft hatch as ours doesn't have any ladders which makes is a pain having to get large larder out of the garage every time we want to go up the loft so need to get a quote for that.

    gym tonight at 7pm tonight hoping its not too much squat related as leg is still a bit sore couldn't bear weight on it last night to go up the stairs but i know that its just me pushing to hard too fast so i'll take it easy tonight and I've booked tomorrows class for 10.30am as I've got the day off just working before and after school tomorrow.  means I can go to farmfoods and stock up the chest freezer, they must have known I was thinking of going as received the vouchers through the post today 

    right off the research companies that do the hatch and ladders xx

    yesterday I did not stop, did my workout in the garage on the crosstrainer, then dropped puppy off to my gran, walked to the gym did my weights class then walked into the town to collect hubby's trainers that I ordered for his birthday.  spent £10 in the town on bits and bobs.  Came home grabbed a shower before a joiner came to measure up to install a proper hatch and ladders for the loft as this is the next job on my list.

    picked up the after schoolers and once they left had to wait for hubby coming home so I could get the car as decided to do a massive food shop, spent £96 in farmfoods should have been £106 but had a £10 voucher.  sent £66 in B&M stocking up on tins and other dry food items etc.  then went to the food warehouse and spent £144 so just over £300 and this should last us for 6 weeks so my aim is to do the next large food shop at the end of October.  Just need to replenish the fresh stuff such as salad items, bread etc.  This odes 5/6 people a week as abbie's bf seems to eat here all the time when he's here 

    so i was shattered when i got to bed fitbit says i did nearly 23000 steps so no wonder i was tired.

    This morning i didn't want to do my crosstrainer but got on with it and ended up doing 33 minutes on it getting up a good sweat.  Have my gym session tonight tomorrow night is a rest night but will still do my crosstrainer tomorrow morning.

    Nipped to the shops to get my mindee a birthday cake as she turns 6 today, she's been with me for 4.5 years so her necklace has arrived today thank goodness so its been wrapped and I got a card from my card stash so only £7.69 on a cake.  so a LSD today and so it should be after yesterday lol xx

    still not got the credit card from hubby starting to annoy me now will get it by this weekend i promise.

    right off to collect the birthday girl from school along with her brother.

    Wow what a lot you got done yesterday! No wonder you were shattered! Will be good if all that shopping does last 6 weeks because just over £300 is brilliant for 5/6 of you even if you have to pick up fresh stuff on top. Do you think hubby is worried about you knowing how much is on his card and that's why he's hanging onto it? Whatever the balance is I'm certain it won't be anything you can't tackle.

  • 23000 steps is good going. I'm lucky if I hit 8000 most days. 
    I think I remember you saying you had peeked at the card and it wasn't as bad as you thought. You didn't tell hubby though x

    He's gearing up for me flipping out on him because i know the roughly the amount but he doesn't know that.  His mum actually told me today to take his bank card off him, fill the car of fuel on the next pay day and give him £10 a day to spend during the week.  I think that might work but still kinda annoyed as I don't get £10 a day to spend but its better than him blowing his money and constantly being in his over draft.

    I've already set aside £300 for it once i get a hold of it xx
