Morning Skint, looking at the weather forecast you're more likely to have a good weekend than us - I'll be needing the wooly dresses and you'll be packing them away :rotfl:

Morning, PT session done and boy did we work hard but I loved it. It's staggering to see how many people are up and working out so early.
Food shopping finished and scanned - I think I owe S&S an apology this week as I slightly boogered up the order. Only healthy things in the trolley, £42.16 - that did include 2x2 sirloin steak which were reduced 30% otherwise I wouldn't have been too far off my target. DD came with me and was chatting about how much food costs. It's good to see her learning about running a home as its only going to get more expensive I think.
Tins moved from the kitchen into larder (garage
). Now I know I don't need to buy beans, chickpeas, butter beans etc.
First load of winter coats/trousers in the machine - walking the hounds in the winter definitely leads to a lot of mud flying.
Looking forward to DS coming home late afternoon and then Mr T and I are off out tonight.
I need to take cash out which I forgot to do at L!dl - money moved from entertainment pot to cover spends for this evening.
Good job I made a list, I can't remember what I need to get done.

Morning, don't feel confident enough yet to do it all without a PT as I wouldn't push myself as hard. It was great to see so many people working out though - far more effort than when I walk the hounds.
I must admit to feeling a little weak - not sure that's the right word - but in a good way.
Thanks for dropping by.

I went and did another class at lunchtime and I'm well and truly Knackered

Slightly put paid to some of the jobs I was going to do but never mind.
Bag out for my travels, paperwork printed and passport at the ready.
Off to have a shower and pick DS up as he's due back earlier than expected.

Wow Tilly, you are really getting into the swing of this new fitness regime.
Congratulations and long may it continue.
TxStill striving to be mortgage free before I get to a point I can't enjoy it.

Just caught up. Your diary is always so busy

V impressed with new fitness regime.Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became
In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!0 -
Hi Watty, thanks for stopping by
.
Re fitness - I wish I'd started in January but with Mr T not working only necessities were on the cards. It's proving to be really good fun however tonight, I'm definitely feeling it. I'm hoping after a month or so my fitness levels have improved and there's less muscle ache
