    Hi again Lula

    just finished your diary and I hope you realise how far you have really come. Your mortgage balance is dropping big chunks and you a managing to have a RL too re home, family, holidays and building your business, go you :j

    A great diary Lula which also shows the ups and downs we all have with this MFW malarkey, as many others have said before me, it's a marathon not a sprint

    Have a fab weekend with your sis

    Regards
    ATT


    Awwww, thanks for your kind words, much appreciated, thank you. Xx

    I've had a wonderful few days with my sister, she's just left and I'm missing her....

    We walked miles in London yesterday and were exhausted by the time we went to bed yesterday, so much so that we did not wake up until 9 this morning!

    We enjoyed a great few days balancing having a few little treats with being thrifty. And, I still haven't bought myself anything. It's been 4 weeks now. Amazed even myself.

    Boys will be home any minute and my clean tranquil house will be transformed in an instant!

    Ds1 and ds2 spent most of last night being sick, as a result I'm feeling very tired today.

    Ds1 is feeling a little perkier now and ds2 is in bed having a sleep.

    Feeling so so myself..... Bloated crampy tummy and no energy whatsoever.

    Here's to us all feeling better tomorrow!

    Thx Mally...

    Boys are in bed and I'm hoping for uninterrupted sleep tonight.

    I've still got a poorly tum but couldn't resist indulging in a cornetto, oops. I hope I don't make myself sick.

    Hope the cornetto stays put ;)

    Well, I'm feeling so much better after a good nights sleep - I think the Cornetto was the medicine that I needed....

    DH however is another story, he spent the night throwing up and being generally poorly.

    In money news:
    -transferred £350 to Mortgage from the second bag sale
    -bought the boys some new clothes - paid for with clothes budget
    -generally being sensible isn...
    -received some money today - popped £100 in holiday saves towards our few nights away at the end of the month, some in to saves as I suspect we're going to need to dip in to it nearer to payday and then the rest paid off the mortgage. When I received this money last month I spent it all on handbags so progress is being made!

    Aquazumba this afternoon -great fun, love it!

    I really need to buy some sports wear for some of the classes I do - particularly those that are high impact, I need a sports bra and a couple of vesty type things...... I almost bought it from Sweaty Betty online but then closed it down because I was narked about the £4 delivery charge, plus I hate the idea of spending the money as I've been good for the last 4 weeks.

    Ho hum.

    Any suggestions as to whether I might be able to find such items any cheaper?

    I was buying it all in the sale and I think the total came to something like £60 plus the delivery charge.
