I have a dream...to be a MFW

Just printed off £6.50 in unused clubcard vouchers to use today, I also have the latest set in my handbag. I am hoping I may be able to buy some reduced stuff for this week that can go in the freezer (I will take the stickers off and not let Mr AJM know) so I need to go and finish meal planning.

Busy today but I don't seem to have done much! Been to the gym today and have done the shopping, apart from maybe milk it should last us until Thursday. Shopping came in just under £30 so we still have 30 in the pot.

Dinner tonight is chicken with harissa and tomatoes, boiled potatoes and baby corn.

Submitted a meter reading yesterday, we are finally down on gas usage and have managed to back to normal levels of electric usage.

We have just had a lovely dinner - beef, pineapple and ginger stir fry, it was amazing. Crispy chilli something and broccoli for tomorrow, it was meant to be beef but yesterday's meal was moved to today and I don't fancy beef 2 days in a row.

Spinning session and a swim today. We go on holiday 5 weeks today so I need to knuckle down a bit on the exercise front.

My £5 fee has final been reached on £co so I am getting a small payment this week

Circuit training at work this morning, it made me so tired that I spent the last part of my day trying not to fall asleep.

The supermarket kind of made the decision of meat for dinner for me today as there was no pork that I could see, so we are having crispy chilli chicken and broccoli with jasmine rice. Seeing as we only have a couple of days together before I go away I cheated and bought dessert so we have chocolate tart and ice cream to finish it off.

A rogue £25 has found its way from our bills account to the mortgage so we have OPd £150 this month and Mr AJM has no idea

I love numbers, if we can stick to my planned OP schedule we will have paid off the mortgage 73 months early :j

Mr AJM is on his summer holidays now and I still have 4 weeks left maybe teaching would be the way forward.

I think/hope we are having a bit of a lazy afternoon while I get the energy to pack as I have a work trip for 8 days from tomorrow. I have already been for a run today and got drenched so I think I deserve the rest.

Currently trying to decide whether to start a distance learning A level as me and my mind are getting a bit bored. This is the longest I have not studied for since I started school (I finished my Masters 3 years ago). The problem is I am not entirely sure where my career is heading, whether I may end up on a course in September as my boss has hinted (although I feel he will have got my hopes up for nothing) or whether it will be September next year. There will be about 300 hours worth of studying which would be covered in a year if I devoted a day a month but I would need to time it all for exam time and need to see if it includes the coursework in the 300 hours. It is a subject I am interested in and would be doing it purely for that reason. I might do a little reading up on the course and go and see our education centre when I get home to find out how it all works as I can get most of it funded through work. On the other hand I could spend time learning more music stuff ready for my course at work when it comes round.

On my way home from my work trip away, luckily I haven't spent very much as I can claim most of it as expenses. I managed to run twice while I was away so I haven't undone my hard work.

It is our wedding anniversary on Tuesday. We have the next 2 days off together, can't decide whether to go away for a night or just do things daily.

Looking forward to cooking again, although Mr AJM is doing tonight's meal so I can relax.
