Morning guys! :wave: surprised that the thread wasnt started - are we all afraid after yesterday's double thread??? :rotfl:

so today is our 4 year anniversary & yesterday was oh's birthday. I paid for our couple of days away last week but felt really mean last night when I hadn't got him anything. So I signed up to audible.com and got a free download of a book I know he really wants :T felt much better!

So anyway today:

• [STRIKE]brekkie, lunch & dinner from stores[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]check banking [/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]check topcashback- still not payable...[/STRIKE]
• LSD tee hee scratch that! NSD :j
• [STRIKE]check onepoll[/STRIKE]
• take meter readings
• [STRIKE]free fresh coffee at work[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]stick to diet[/STRIKE]
• go to the gym & sauna (I didn't do this in the end yesterday!)
• [STRIKE]Mrs Flylady[/STRIKE]

ok that's all I can think of. Hurrah that the weekend is in sight! Hope you all have a lovely day x

ha ha! have done everything except the meter readings and going to the gym (which we are about to do after our dinner goes down!) :j very proud of myself!

As well as this I have found a recipe for the hallouimi that has been sitting in the fridge for months & discovered that you can freeze it :money: and have frozen some steaks that I didn't yesterday

We will be finally having those free glasses of wine at the gym after the workout/sauna extravaganza :beer:

And the weekend is in sight

Well done on your weightloss ziggy. You're doing brilliantly.

Thank you, have a lot to lose but I'm determined to get there and am already feeling the benefits. Slow and steady is my mantra

Evening all!!! I havent had internet since Monday!!!! It has been weird not going online but made me spend more time with the kids and also decluttering so positive things came out of it!

today

Round Mums for the day - kids feel like they have gone out and done something with their day and it was free! My bro and sis are the same age as my children so they all play together
Lunch at Mums
Kids to swimming club - wash hair there
Update MSE diary
Surveys
NSD
Dinner from stores - pork curry


Finished my Nan and Grandads present - it is their golden wedding anniversary tomorrow. My Mum and her siblings have bought her a digital photo frame and they told me as my present to do them a memory card with photos on. I have include tonnes of wedding photos and holiday photos. Plus i have scanned in my aunts and uncles wedding photos and pics of them as children and also most importantly my Nan and Grandads wedding photos. These have come out really well on the frame. The card cost me about £4 but the time doing it is my present. So a time consuming but very MSE present :-)

I hope everyone is well!

Happy Anniversary DNMS

I hope everyone had a great valentines the other day. Ours was not MSE. OH made me a lovely 3 course meal - though the fillet of beef cost nearly £20 :eek::eek::eek::eek: Told him i wasn't worth £20 but he said i was :A I made him a battenburg. Pink and yellow sponge and then i coloured the marzipan pink and put hearts on top

Good morning everyone, It’s a rather dull day here today but on a positive note dh and dd are both feeling better and dh has gone back to work, so not sure how I will manage today as trying to juggle too many things.
DMS – Thanks for starting us off this morning.

My list for today:
:)All meals from stores done
:)Work 10:30-4 done
:)Catch up with emails done
:)Superpoints, swagbucks, clicks done
:)Surveys – inbox, lightspeed and one poll done
Answer my phone and deal with the problem rather than hiding done
:)Check airer and move to ironing done
:)Flylady update and do as much as possible done
:)Make up bottles for dd (dh has been doing it whilst he has been off so will need to try and remember to do it) done
:)Read Martins email Had a quick read through it.
:)Sort out a rough menu plan for the next 4 weeks and add to shopping list
:)Check ebay done, Nothing happening.
:)Do some course work
:)Have a NSD done
:)Look into available work
:)Try and stay positive done but it was a struggle.

I think that is everything that I need to do today, have a good Thursday.

It's been a busy day and I managed pretty well to juggle everything although I could have done with a few more hours in the day. I managed to stay positive although it was a bit of a struggle.

Almost everything has been completed on my list which makes a nice change.
