    Not me. I've just gotten home from a few days away and didn't realize how much I needed a change of scenery. It has put a little bounce back in my step.

    Hope the rest of your week goes well Biz and Lou! Life can sometimes be so draining. A lot gets crammed into our days. Wishing you sunny uncomplicated days.
    Overprepare, then go with the flow.

    Felt better today..think a good sleep helped. Fasted today..am sure it was slightly over 500 calories but not by much. Oven steamed white fish and veggies again for tea which is my go to I think. I made fish cakes chips and salad for everyone else and resisted even having one...it's early days of course but think this food strategy may work for me :)

    OH will be working away a lot this year..it will be hard I think. Maybe being part time will be a blessing then even if money will be tighter. I look at our block of bricks on try cupboard door and at the moment it seems like a mega high wall, daunting even, but every brick coloured in makes a difference I guess..

    DD1 trudging through exams. Less prepared for this one tomorrow unfortunately. Think her revision has been lumpy. But fingers crossed she is better prepared than she thinks..

    Have done a TT. Not spent anything today, will check with OH whether it's NSD. Have s PC survey to do, which will be £3. Every little helps!

    Hope everyone is good xx
