well last night i brought in the washing from the line made the bed had a bath and slipped into my fresh bed ... i love it when you get to dry y our clothes outside and they have that outside smell ... it felt soooooo clean ...

have paid some more off my debt yay ... and have infact met this months total ... i get paid at the end of the month were still at the tight stage where we wont have any spare so i doubt it if i will be able to pay anymore off of the debt ... but next month i should have the overtime in

it was like 4 pieces of chicken in one bag ... 3 bags so 12 pieces ... think you can really think of them as 24 though lol ... the gammon steaks were two in a pack so four ... the bacon well that was a huge load in each one ... there will be no comparison to a farmers markety type of food ... which would be what i eat if i ate meat ... but hubby says he cant taste the difference

Oh yeah quality will be totally different - I'm just curious as to the actual difference in price, never really add up what we spend, but we do get things at the market like a big pack of bacon ends for about £3 which does us maybe 4-5 meals in things like pasta or risotto.

Well done on the debt payments :T

ahhh thank you every one ... if only hubby could see it the way you all do ... he doesnt understand the whole issue of boundaries ... i think that could part of the reason he is going through what he is just now .. he is learning slowly that he has value as an individual and that we just dont deserve to be disrespected ... i'm sure he will get it in the end .. if not he will continue to be treated like crap from some people ... his choice though ,,, his choice

you know it feels good to have done it .. i have wanted to do it for so long but have always made allowances ( as you do) for her behaviour ... but ultimately i am worthy of respect so i should be treated with respect ...

anyway in other news .. my good friend is coming home from Nica ( i am sure some of you know who this is) and between us we have hatched a plan ... if all goes according to plan she will fly into Tampa whilst we are in Orlando ... she will meet with a friend that she has there spend the day with them and get them to drive her to Orlando to our villa where she will stay for a few days before travelling to Miami and getting her connecting flight to London ... i havnt seen this friend for a good while now and both of us have been through some really life changing experiences so we are both different people .. it's going to be exciting to meet the new person she has became and to show off the new person i have became ... although to be fair we do talk ALOT so in reality she has met her and vice versa just not in person

i'm going on the treadmill for a wee run .. i feel energised and ready to stake my claim on my health ... watch out world el is here to play again lol
