I love your diary

You fit so much into every day!! I'm not sure how you do it.

Which diet are you doing? probably read it somewhere, but you know what it's like.

We are offically chocolate free now so have no more excuses if I don't lose anything

Ah thank you. But I only manage it as I'm on maternity leave! I can never be this organised normally! Maybe becoming a mummy also helps you learn to multi-task!

As for the diet it's slimming world. I've done it before and always been successful as you do get to eat so much and fill up on good stuff.

Weigh in day on Wednesday ... better be worth it! Only problem is we're eating so much I think we need to go shopping again. Healthy stuff always costs more money...

Right...Sherlock's on next so quick update for the day ...

Money
NSD :j Well kind of ... for me anyway! Sent DH to Tesco to buy some milk and he got carried away with reduced things... we have 3 loaves of bread in the freezer, a whole chicken (reduced from £10 to £2), some toasted tea cakes and a barmbrack. Told him off as it doesn't fit into the diet or the budget but he paid with him own account so will let him off. And he did remember the milk ...
PAD of £1

Diet and exercise
2 hour dog walk in the park! (Lovely morning out with DH, Sadie baby, our dog and some friends with their baby and dog)
Breakfast - 2 weetabix
Lunch - Leftover minestrone soup
Tea - Ham and mushroom omelette with salad
Snacks - Banana, apple, choc biscuit

General
Watched 5th Harry Potter film
Did no housework at all!!

Small DFW bits and bobs
Didn't have coffee and cake in the cafe at the park as usual! (Also helping diet...)
Watched TV by candlelight!

Pretty quiet Sunday ....

Morning all,

Sooo tired today...think it's having had such a quiet weekend that my body isn't used to being up and active again!

Sadie baby was awake at 12.30, 2.45, 6 and then 7.30. She's asleep now though! It's alright for some!

But I've stripped the bed, got myself and Sadie showered/bathed and dressed and am in the process of now of sorting through baby clothes. My niece is 1 so I'm lucky enough to get a bag of clothes a month that she has grown out of! Today I have 2 full black bags worth of clothes all aged 3-6 months and 6-9 months to organise. My sis has saved me hundreds of pounds so far in baby clothes so far!

Was hoping to have a NSD today but my DH has just phoned and asked me to go out and buy some flowers and a card for his best mates wife's birthday which is today!

Ok, list for the day (otherwise I know I'll sit around wathicng TV!):

Wash bedding
New bedding on
Put clean clothes washed at weekend away
Sort Sadie's clothes
Purchase car insurance - I take a long time to make decisions ...
Pop out to buy flowers and a bit of veg top up
Quick tidy of the dining room (Such a dumping ground!)
Clean bathroom floor
Try and get on the wii fit for a while

That should do.

Ha! Lists are easy to write...not so easy to follow! Remember I'm not bfeeding so Sadie only needs feeding every 4 hours, giving me much more free time than you.

I'm just checking back in to remind myself of what needed doing. I keep getting distracted with other jobs...

Just had last of the left over soup for lunch so going to have 5 minutes and then head to the shops before it rains as it looks pretty grey out.

I can faff with the best of them, don't worry! Just sometimes I'm in a motivated mood. Today is one of the motivated days! Though I am now shattered and ready for bed...

Well, still haven't purchased car insurance! Endeavour to sort it before the end of the week, I just haven't sat down really today!

On the subject, I don't have savings to pay the insurance in full and obviously don't want to pay monthly due to the crazy costs so I was going to pay for it on my CC (0%). Now, this CC will be paid off next month so I was going to just set up a direct debit to pay monthly as a normal outgoing. Is it cheating therefore to not count it as a debt or as it's on the CC should I?!?

Also didn't get on the wii but did two laps of the park with Sadie baby and Roxy dog and walked to the shops and back. Think that's enough exercise for the day!

Might do my update for the whole day in a min as need to sort out Sadie's stuff for first swimming lesson tomorrow and want an early night as I'm shattered.
