Where have I been for 6 days........no one reported me missing
Been super busy only been to the gym once this week as saw my gran on Monday, Went to the gum on Tuesday, had a committee meeting on Wednesday and Thursday I couldn't go as had too much on and there is no evening classes on a Friday but I have been doing my cross trainer sessions every morning.
I came third in the gym competition for the 3rd most changed body shape since we went into lockdown just after Xmas so I won £50 in Nike vouchers, will wait til there is a sale or decent discount code as I need new leggings as mine are starting to get too big. Only lost 6.5 pounds but I've toned right up, will need to see if i can get a picture up
Wee one is sleeping right now so I've done my finances, The house improvement fund has went down again.....but that is because I've sent the difference between the new mortgage and the old mortgage. So my starting point with my mortgage is £59000 as of 4th May and I can see it on my app hopefully so i'll be able to round it down.
So far I have the re-rendering date kind of sorted, first week in July but I'm going to take the first 2 full weeks off in July, electrician has the dates available so I'm going to confirm my dates with all my parents and get them booked in for a full rewire. I've also organised a company to come and restore my cast iron pipes and replace my wooden fascia boards with white PVC but they will do the fascia boards when the scaffolding is up when its being re-rendered. I still need to get a plastered organised for eldest son's room and the living room as hubby's friend can only do weekend but he can do the kitchen and KK's room and I'll get someone in who can to the plastering straight after the electrician being in so I can then crack on with the painting and getting the boys stuff moved around so they have their own rooms. Wallpaper has arrived and it's lovely cant wait to get it on the wall.
Right I think little one is stirring for their lunch so I'll be back later.

Wow well done 👏 It’s inches not pounds that count at the end of the day, did you measure yourself before you started?I wondered where you’d got to but guessed you would be busy. We’ll call off the search party now 😆I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)4

Oh I went with elephant as learner driver and they count first 10 months learner as a years no claims. It was also cheaper as it was 10 months insurance not 12.
Don't know if competitive for Abbie but with a named driver on the policy shouldn't be too bad. Might be worth a look as don't know if comes upon the comparison sites x
It only gave me the cheaper 10 month option when you get a quote from them.
