    So...on day 3 of May and all going well :)

    - frugal to the core, we have had a LSD and a NSD so far
    - last minute rush on decluttering meant that we decluttered 61 items in April..chuffed about that. Most went to good homes.
    - exercise class today and on Monday :D
    - laundry, meal planning and all things domestic going well

    Yep, feeling like we are getting back into the right psychological frame of mind. I like it :)

    Hope everyone is having a good week x

    All good. End of the working week for me... well in the office anyway :) Looking forward to a special meal out with the family as DD1 has a significant day today... can't quite believe it. She's definitely growing up :D

    All under control. Ridiculously excited about being able to do a money shuffle next week when the accounts fill again. Best time of the month for sure!! :rotfl:

    Thanks SA. It was a joyful evening and in very MSE style we came back for HM birthday cake and saved on dessert :)

    Looking forward to the weekend

    Glad you had a nice evening. Not such a good day for laundry here today though, very dreary.

    Sorry to hear that SA. Even better today so have done some gardening and braving a BBQ later. Currently having a cheeky G&T on the patio. Garden looking great - very glad we spent on it two years ago... coming into its own now. Girls revising... lodger watching TV... alls good really.

    On the MSE front - not bad. Some spends by OH but nowt by me :j Line dried yet more laundry and done a load of YNAB stuff.. waiting with bated breath for the money shuffle tomorrow.. bring it on :D

    Two more AFDs this week and a NSD yesterday so all going well. Tired this week, so looking forward to a proper relax this weekend. Hope the weather holds

    Love to all x
