Sorry for not getting back last night, had a mammoth night of catching up with emails / phone calls etc. I also got 2 loads of washing done so just one more to go this morning and then all the holiday stuff will be away / washed with just the ironing pile left to do

We had a good time, weather wasn't too bad, we made the most of what sun there was and did indoor stuff the rest of the time. I budgeted £100 while we were there and went over spending about £120, and I also used much more petrol than expected so will need some more of that today too Never mind, ds loved it and thats important

So, back to the normal stuff ... I sent off my phone redemption while I was away so that should be £60 on its way to me, going to add that to the mortgage pot now. Also my isa payment has gone out so thats another £50 in the pot too. This weekend is a free listings one on ebay so I must get stuff put on there. Other plans for the rest of the weekend include tesco shopping, ironing, cleaning the guinea pigs, visiting Dad, oh, and possibly drinks tonight with cutie

Woohoo, those two amounts have seen off June 2019 :j :j Hello may, almost down to 7 years now :T :T

I forgot to mention also that I have had a wedding invite from one of my dearest friends who lives in London. Its evening only and is on a sunday, but I wouldn't miss it for the world, so its going to involve driving there and back (never driven in central London before). It also involves getting this lardy bod into some sort of shape and I only have 6 weeks to do so. Now while I can get away with some huge holding in pants under a dress for this one, (and the school prom a month later), my proper holiday is now only four months away and theres nowhere to hide on that one, the flab needs to be gone

Drinks with cutie -yippee!

Bridget Jones pants under posh frock.....yup, done that many a time......6 weeks is plenty of time (she says hopefully,as I have my holiday in that time too eek!)

Thanks Kittikins, I have been saying for so long that I need to shift this weight but time is running out now before our holiday and I won't enjoy it anywhere near as much if I'm still this lardy

Drinks with cutie - well he text during the week to say he's free tonight so we're supposedly going out for drinks, but no firm arrangements made yet, I'm half expecting a "I havent finished my assignment" text at some point today which tbh won't be the end of the world as I'm short of money and feeling flabby anyway. But it would be lovely to see him if it does still go ahead

So, third lot of washing is in, beds are made, eyebrows have been decluttered, various defuzzing / exfoliating type bits done, fingernails painted, hair has had a conditioning mask, I've been showered and I'm feeling human again Time to get on with the day

good to hear you had a lovely time ben ben - where on earth do you put your washing to dry - i can only manage one load a day max to do !!!

Lol PL, I have no outdoors space but I am lucky in that I have 5 large velux windows, so everything gets put on hangers and hung from the windows, which are then opened slightly and it all dries really quickly Small stuff goes on a couple of those multihanger things from the 99p shop, bedding etc either goes to my mums washing line or gets stretched out over the dining room chairs
