    Morning, £3 PC arrived and OPd, 48p TT to MOS.

    Tilly Tidies will go to MOS, anything else (surveys, cashback) will go to capital repayment.

    Off for PT session in half an hour. Looking forward to it and scared all at the same time :rotfl:

    Jobs for today - clean DS bedroom ready for his return.
    Do weekly shop rather than on Saturday
    Walk the hounds
    Get 1P up to date for both of us
    Polish and vacuum our bedroom
    Wash winter coats-walking trousers
    Move tins from kitchen cupboards to larder in garage (it's easier to see what I've got then)

    I'd better get cracking

    Enjoy the sun, Tilly x

    Reminded me it's time to move all the winter wooly dresses out of the wardrobe and bring out the pretty summer ones:D Yes, hopelessly optimistic in Scotland but the sun is out today!

    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.

  • Good luck with the PT session Tilly!

    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.

    Wowsers good luck!
  • I went and did another class at lunchtime and I'm well and truly Knackered :o

    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.

    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 !!
  • 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 :o

    Sleep well, Tilly x
