    Have sinned again, went back to day 2 of rummage sale, as I know they continue to stock up throughout. Can I confess £69 worth but that equates to 2 huge bags. Bought a jumper and a fleece for Dave for Christmas, dd2 for birthday (skinny jeans, tracky bottoms x2, a jogging top, pj jumper, t shirt, skirt, socks and pants) dd3 4x little bras, and myself 2 more bras, a fleece, 2 cardigans, a jumper, 3x t shirt, 2 gym tops. Absolutely bargainous as virtually all m and s. Very pleased with my haul.

    My ex boss is trying to talk me into trying a half marathon but that seems a huge leap from my current abilities.

    As soon as I upped my distance and comfortably did 5k a few friends encouraged me to sign up for races for extra motivation. I haven't run for a couple of weeks as 'shred' is enough but I do miss it.

  • Would definitely be something to work for. Feel ok this Monday post Sundays run which is better than last week.

    Have my new gym gear on, feeling snazzy and bargainous. Body pump and lbt later. Just had a big portion of chicken stew as quick to make.

    Sounds like a fantastic shopping haul and a fortune saves compared to if you'd have had to pay "real" prices, so well done you.

    Impressed with all of your exercise, you are putting me to shame.
  • Thanks Lula. Pay day tomorrow which is a relief. Also money shuffle approaches. Should get me under 30k which is very exciting.

    Australian relatives and parents for tea tonight. Plus a Busy weekend, have a wedding evening do Friday then parents golden anniversary dinner Saturday then everyone coming back here. Moved my days round to get today off so I can tidy and shop. Will fit a gym in too as won't be able tonight. Still woke up at 5.20, so annoying.

    Is that legal? I know we're all about saving money, but that's perhaps a bit on the extreme side? :rotfl:
  • Hopefully left over visitors for Saturday tea..:rotfl:

    Shopping done, combined my 2 me things.. went to gym in perfect and planned time for huth so watched whilst I cross trained. Every thing away, showered and now just need to tidy and cook.
