  • Thanks beanie, hugs to you too Xx

    Not long in from work after my boss rang to see if I'd work tonight instead of tomorrow. It wasn't very busy so I think I got a good deal.

    Today we've been to a NT place that we must have been to 8-10 times before. DH had NO recollection of ever being there before :(. We had a good time though and it was good to be outside after what feels like days and days of doing indoor stuff (though it is only 2 days!!).

    Still sticking to the diet and I'm on track for a good weight loss. I've also been nominated for my class Woman of the Year :o.

    Hi Lucky, :hello:

    Am constantly amazed at how much you fit into your days. :)

    Very well done on getting nominated for WotY! :T

    Hope Grandma is getting better now; good news her condition can be controlled with meds.

    Well, good to have discovered a reason for the lads' bout of sickness - hope DS1 at least remembers the taste, so can avoid similar mishaps in the future :p).

    :beer: well done on your nomination! I go to SW but haven't lost as much weight as you have!

  • Cheers all! Pooh, so far I'm one of 3 nominations for class WotY and everyone will vote for the winner on Tues. I'm the only one of the 3 who isn't at target weight though, so I kind of hope one of the others wins as they can go further into regional and then national finals. If I win the buck stops there. Super pleased to have been nominated though and I resolve to be at target by next year so if I'm lucky enough to be nominated and win then, I can go all the way and be in the magazine :p.

    Yesterday the boys and DH had haircuts and then we met Mum/Grandma/Auntie for coffee. Grandma is looking really well :T. My Mum was going to have the boys for me while I was at work as MiL was at a function, but then my night in work had been changed and I'd ended up working Friday instead. Mum offered to still have the boys anyway last night so DH and I could have a night off :j. We went to the cinema and saw Inbetweeners 2 and it was great to be out together and have a laugh. It was much needed.

    This morning we went to the gym before we collected the boys. It's only the second time we've managed to go in in the last 4 weeks while the boys have been off school! We also called in to Morries and spent £20 on steak/chicken/salmon/prawns and got it for £10 using 2 vouchers from the paper :T.

    Hey Lucky!!!

    So glad Grandma on the mend though a bit :eek: about her being home alone. Hope she is coping well.

    Well done on the nomination. I don't care if it stops with you, what would you win at your group!? SA is right, you're our Woman of the Year every year ;)

    I really need to start looking into these vouchers for Morries. You can get the app, or go online to the mysupermarket website now and compare Mr M's now that they are officially an online service (even though they refuse to deliver to me, all off a mile away!) - some stuff is worthwhile looking at. 'Loss leaders' I suppose. But I might look to split my shop down a bit further and add them into the mix.

    Boys back to school in such a short space of time it seems. You've inspired me to add a 'Uniform budget' to my YNAB categories. I may genuinely start paying into it from January! Right now it all goes to the Jellytot future fund :D but thats for fun stuff and cars not uniform! Lol.

    Hugs to you as always!
