Twelve Weeks To Glow

Rainbow_Bridge

Day 36 of the 12 week challenge and 100/365 - 27.30%.

Morning world, it's day 100.

Yesterday, was great! The cashier kindly let us all in for a grand total of £12.75, we stayed for ages, and I sneaked in aqua aerobics moves, when I thought nobody was looking .

We then moved on to the fish and chip shop and it was CLOSED :eek:. Auntie knew of a nice little Italian restaurant, around the corner, and an hour and a half later we were £80.00 poorer :eek:. I say we, because dear auntie insisted on paying half, which softened the blow to my entertainment budget, which is now £20.00 in deficit.

The boys loved it though, and as an ex lady who lunched often, I appreciated the ambience :rotfl:.

I am going to draw a swift line under that blip, and deposit the boys with another mum this morning, who is entertaining the four of them, today, at her expense , while I work and try and redress the financial scales.

I feel like I am constantly standing in the middle of one of those see-saws, moving from side to side to keep it stable, with the constant threat of being pinged into oblivion.

This too will pass xx.

I have just found your diary and subscribed :beer:

It's nice to read something so positive, and I will look forward to being inspired if that's OK with you?

Hi Southernbelle,

This Northernbelle welcomes you to the thread xx.

You are making great inroads into your debt, well done! I admire anyone who can keep on this debt free, mortgage free road for the long haul, does it become natural after a time?

Day 37 of the 12 week challenge and 101/365 - 27.60%.

It's Friday!!

I have the four boys today, and I WILL have a NSD. I have a cunning plan ......

There is an Island, nearby, that we haven't visited in a long while. It can be accessed, via a long causeway, at low tide.

The boys are keen to trek out to it, so I have studied the tide guide , and we are heading off in a couple of hours. I am taking flasks, with hot chocolate and some biscuits, and my phone, with the coastguard's number on it, just in case! but my purse is staying at home.

I have burger's, chips and icecream in the freezer, that I stocked up on in Morrison's last week, while they were on offer.

I have already told the boys that I want to introduce them to my burgers which are miles better than Macdonald's, so let's just hope they agree :rotfl:.

TTFN xx.

..I imagine the other Mum would do that long before we heard about any difficulties!
