    Well I've come home and promptly cancelled anything this week that involves spending money! Next weekend I go up north for a 10k so that will involve spending anyway. I was also going to go for a run today but have come home with a hacking cough and the feeling someone has run me over with a steamroller!

    So rowing tomorrow and Thursday, and a run on Monday and Wednesday. That should be enough. I think I was 1 hour 15 last time so I should try and beat that, or just get in without collapsing in a heat maybe :T:T:T (My running number has the wrong name on it anyway so hopefully nobody will realise it's me!!!)
    I had a gorgeous dress arrive today it was in the sale...

    I did come home to a green boden beach hoody - it wasn't in the sale!

    so I am not entirely without clothes. Infact still have a major suitcase unpacking exercise!!! How long have I been in that house? Ironing tonight I think with a glass of wine :D

    No my size was on low stock and is now sold out. If I was buying I needed to buy at full price. It's a very rare event Beanie, me buying a full price on Boden.

    So I hope you are all well.....

    Seems I spent rather more than I intended last week in Belfast. Good job I enjoyed myself :beer::beer::beer: Getting through to pay day on the 15th will be challenging, doable but challenging.

    Then I have a trip to Paris :o in early August (yes...sorry about that!)

    Then I have August/Sept/Oct/Nov pay days to save :T:T:T:T Bloomin good job too!

    Mental note to self - more saving and not so much enjoying next year :cool:

    Right I'm working from home today so I'd better get back to it. Today's mission impossible is to fit kitchen units into a kitchen with three windows - Planners :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
    It'll be nice and light but with nowhere to put the beans.

    Still.....I like a challenge ;)
