Good girls wardrobes clear out. Been meaning to tackle for ages. 2 sacks for bf daughter and 2 for cs. We do move loads of stuff around, so dd1 to dd2 then dd2 to dd3, dd3 to bf daughter. I also move stuff around as now between dd1 and 2 in size.

Dave's new jeans now hemmed, as too long, another job I dislike done.

Pay day!!
So it's time for that money shuffle:dance::dance::dance:
Marks 2 years to morgage free date if I can keep the op's at this level, which tbh is quite hard but getting nearer.

Nipping to boot camp then chores to do, as day off. Washing already on line but sure can find some more...

Hairdresser booked to come at 5pm. Plus a long list of little school hols jobs to do. Bit like homework, once there done I can get on and enjoy the time at home.

HDK, de-lurking to ask a question about how you track items you want to buy online and track any price changes until you get the best price, You have written about this before, but I can' t find it in your diary, is there any chance you explain in more detail how you do this?

Also, Congrats on The amazing weight loss, the fact that you have done this through sheer willpower and hardwork is inspiring.

Thanks

Sorry, missing in action. Got back 5.30 this morning from 2 weeks Majorca. Very rested but 4lbs heavier.....not putting on my tracker till end of week as hoping just bloated and hoping Will disappear quickly. Been to abs and gym tonight. Back on mfp tonight.

Back to work tomoz, so have done 6 loads of washing, ironed and suitcases back in loft. Only had a few hours sleep so wil be an early bedtime.

Ddd, I save to my wish list, then put in the comments the start price, plus anything else I want to remember, for example a price I want to pay, I add in every price drop. Then I check it whenever I go on Amazon. I save up my agc ready so when it dips in price I can buy. Hth.
You can track using camel camel but I find my way works for me.

Hi HDK, have been catching up with your diary and not sure why I hadn't found it before! This is clearly where all the HUTH fans are, thought I was alone in my love of it! Did get me a bit obsessed looking for cracks in the house at one point though.

Really enjoyed your diary, I also work for NHS but only a band 5 but have also just done my MSc (well half of one) and retrained so if find a post will be a 6! You sound like a fab manager who doesn't mind getting stuck in, how you juggled all those shifts was beyond me though. :eek:

Well done on your weight loss too, you sound like a new woman!

Well done on all your OP's too - nearly forgot that bit
