    Hi BB no update today? Hope you're OK?

    Just reporting in for weigh-in - I've put on 4lb this week :shocked:

    Hi Poles, sorry was shattered last night, was asleep by about 9 :o Sorry to hear about your week weight wise, I have those kinda weeks too :(

    Today ds has drama and I have the dentist, then we are going to try some geo caching with my new phone, and probably go on some buses at some point :cool: The flat is a tip so that will need sorting too.

    Texted cutie last night just to say hi, he replied and we managed a text conversation for a change, woohoo :) He's up in London this weekend but said he's not so busy over the next few weeks :j We also agreed a night out in Bournemouth soon (usually meet in a smaller nearer town), although haven't sorted out when yet. Another reason for me to stick with the diet :D

    Glad you're OK. I am just having one of those weeks. Next week has to be better - right? :rotfl:

    Enjoy your weekend.

    Been to the dentist, in and out in 5 minutes :) Mum is taking ds on a bus this afternoon as she wanted to go to a different town and has a free bus pass, she said she'd take him for the ride too ;) So I have a couple of hours to get the flat sorted out and back to normal :)

    A bin just sold on ebay for £13 too, so will add that to the mortgage pot. Todays spends = £9 in Asda, £3 in Lidl (clear cellophane bargain for wrapping pressies :) ).

    Another £7 spent in Co-op, although I should get away without doing a big tesco shop this week.

    Flat is starting to resemble itself again now, bathroom all cleaned and sparkly, kitchen 80% done, lounge 90% done, my room 75% done, ds room not even started .... :o

    Ds should be home in an hour or so, the flat is pretty okay now, still bits to do but aren't there always :cool: :) I have also sorted various paperwork bits that needed doing, paid a couple of bills, submitted an enquiry for an untracked transaction on topcashback, so quite a productive afternoon :D
