    Decathlon if you have one near you

    Awesome, thank you!

    I managed to get two tops and a decent looking sports bra for £39 including the delivery charge, so very happy with that. (No idea if we have a store nearby, just went online)

    OK, so I've broken my 4 weeks of not buying anything, but I really did need to make these purchases, at least it was done in a very MS way. I'd usually pay this amount for just one of the items - if I was lucky!!

    Thankfully I already have bottoms from years ago and they are still in new condition so no need to replace those....

    Catching up with diaries, enjoying a bottle of Corona and am just debating having a scone (goes off today so I really ought to eat it) with some lovely strawberry jam and clotted cream........

    Busy day tomorrow, boys are at nursery/hol club - I need to get some work done first thing, then "body blast" class at the gym, quick shower and sorted and then off in to London for a meeting at 3.

    I had homemade veg and egg fried rice for tea, nice but feeling slightly hungry, hence the need for the scone. Oh, and I had a few tortilla chips and salsa (both Aldi) just now too.

    We're making a big homemade rice pud at the moment too as we had lots of milk in the fridge.....
  • Hope you enjoyed your scone. :)

    It was lovely thanks, I went easy on the clotted cream - don't want to cause myself too much extra work shifting it again...

    Yes, thanks Tilly, all better although DH is still feeling "delicate"....

    I'm discovering that the trick with the fitness for me, is just to do the things that make me smile. The gym is a no go, I shall never do anything like Spinning etc. But, I adore Aqua Zumba - I smile from beginning to end and I really enjoy Pilates and Yogo - they just chill me out. Body Blast today prob wont make me smile quite so much, but it's just a quick 45 min class, so I can cope with that.

    Considering I haven't exercised for 9 years, I'm surprising myself by how much I'm enjoying it. :j - that's me to the left doing my jumping jacks...

    45p of Tilly Tidies transferred to my MOP pot this morning... everything seems to be in reasonable order with no unexpected surprises....

    I think I must log on to internet banking at LEAST once per day - usually more like 2 or 3 times. I'm not sure that this is normal behaviour??

    Hi Lula

    I also log into my accounts at least once a day, didn't used to mind but always do now. Not quite sure why as there are never any real surprises but I do like to check to see all is right with my money world

    I also log into my credit card account every day too, oh, might as well also confess to checking my other bank accounts (so different log ons) that don't really move on a day-to-day basis...

    Regards

    I check the bank every day - how else would I keep my spreadsheet in synch!
