Thanks for dropping by.
Have just done the big money shuffle and another card hits the dust :j :j :T
Also started walking in the evenings with OH - lovely space to talk and be together. We are also in a good place as we're not arguing or getting on each other's nerves. Less stressed maybe now exams are finished for DD1? OK so at our first attempt we ended up at a wine bar !!! Weds night he went by himself but last night we managed to avoid alcohol and have a good time (and not argue;))
Hasn't been much to Tilly tidy, but have cycled to/from the station everyday this week and done an exercise class. Plan to do one today as well. AFD are another 2 so will update signature. LSD yesterday as only bought mozzarella and aubergines for the Parmigiana we will eat today. Meal planning going well - only one meat dish a week too. Food shopping is pretty minimal, although as entertaining this weekend that will go up.
Very sociable weekend planned, including cooking up a feast for the Great Get Together.. although this street don't need an excuse to get together, eat or socialise
Have a good weekend folks, hope to catch up on diaries soon, hope you're all good xxMFiT-T4 Member No. 96 - 2022 is my MF goal

Have a fab weekend Brizzle. All sounding good in your world I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0

A wonderful weekend - full of sunshine, good food, lovely times with family and then dear friends and neighbours. My days have been in stark contrast to the utter misery of those affected by events in London or Manchester and now London (Finsbury Park) again. Feel very grateful and blessed. Cooked a huge feast yesterday - so leftovers for a few days which will be a relief given how much I don't feel like cooking or doing anything very much in this gorgeous heat. Also lots on at work so need to manage that too.
Exercise just didn't happen this weekend
and there were no AFDs 
Loads more decluttering though for a charity event. Will update my signature.
On the MSE front everything is tightly packed down so not much chance of Tilly tidies but 2 large TCB payments are finally in confirmed which is good. Chasing another though. EBay sales - some watchers and a few more items to sell have appeared from the kids rooms We are also thinking of taking on another student for a few weeks in the summer. Not entirely sure but think we probably should. Kids can bunk up and also for some of the time they are away on school trips anyhow. Having 5 teenagers in the house though sounds a lot!!! :rotfl: 
Shall I go for it?? The 5 would be for a max of 3 weeks
Have a great week all

Oh and a LSD yesterday - after spending a heap on Friday and Saturday on social events and food and alcohol buying. Yesterday spent less than a tenner on bits we needed - tomatoes, flour, garlic and pomegranates.. MFiT-T4 Member No. 96 - 2022 is my MF goal
