    This morning we went to the local country park with our bikes, we only did about 6 miles as my back wheel kept rubbing on the brake pad so it felt like the brakes were applied every time the wheel went round, meaning I was knackered :o:o

    I took a picnic with us but still spent £3 on a sandwich as ds was still hungry. Other than that today has been a nsd. Home now, dinners on, tomorrow ds is going out for the day with mum so I'm hoping to get on with some ebay stuff while its quiet :)

    Morning, well allegedly it is; last night I was still awake at 3am, now I'm suffering for it :o Ds is off out with mum for the day soon, then I'm planning on getting some bits on turbolister ready to upload to ebay at some point. At least then I can have a lazy sofa day :)

    Well the ebaying stuff hasn't happened :o:o I've had a really lazy day, caught up with a couple of uninterrupted phone calls, and checked all my banking stuff to check I'm still on track this month, and it seems I'm doing just fine :D

    Off now for a quick shower then its ww after tea and then we're going bowling with some friends :)

    So having not counted a propoint for three months and not having been to a WW meeting for 2 months I finally ventured back there tonight, and I have lost half a pound since last time :j :j I have no idea how thats happened, although I haven't eaten much today, but it has given me the motivation to clamber back on board the ww wagon again properly :) I stayed for the talk bit tonight, which I rarely do, and the leader was telling everyone about this wonderful new thing shes come across called shred :rotfl: :rotfl: Shes done 2 weeks of it now and has lost 7cms from her waist, so I may even dig out my copy of it again soon ...

    I'm in bed already, shattered, ds is still playing with his buses in the lounge, he had a great day with mum today :)

    Spends today = £5.30 on ww treats for the week.

    We've been to a friends house this morning, had lunch and nipped into tescos for some bread, milk, fruit and veg (£16). Now ds is playing and I'm pottering doing bits and pieces indoors; I've tidied the airing cupboard and the cupboard under the bathroom sink, may start to tackle my bedroom drawers and cupboards this afternoon :)
