Had another asda click and collect last night, ordered dd2 b cake, was not impressed with sell by date (4 days so from birthday will struggle to eat in time) so requested refund and now my £10 cake is free. Result.

Ran 6.3mph for 60 mins tonight in gym. Was one of those starts where i didnt honestly think id manage, so pleased.

Off for 2 days now.

That is a great pace for the treadmill and one I don't think I would manage. I hope you are finding your health is a bit better now x

DD2 braces on.


Payday. So money shuffle commenced. December sees us below 8k.

I know I don't post much at the moment but I love coming on and seeing posts like this

Thanks AJM. I am enjoying the journey but would be lying if didn't say, can't wait to be MF again.
Pace is still hard. Definitely not remotely ready to go up 0.1 which never ceases to amaze me what a difference that 0.1 makes. Will be weeks before even consider doing last few minutes at 6.4! Nipped to gym this evening, but did a mixture of stuff, and just 10 minutes fast, managed a mile in 8:59 (unbelievably challenging for me) which I've been working on once a week. My runs outside are much slower than tredmill although now picking up a bit. Still get episodes several times a week but only for a few minutes. Wasn't able to run few weeks ago as didn't feel well (Could feel it in quite badly in my throat and felt too breathless) but generally just ignore and get on. I think my world felt better when I was told its frightening but you won't die.. That's all I need to know! Gave me the permission to ignore, rather than fearing it.

SHS - September is the date (over 14 years early). Was massively / cripplingly OP until August this year but now all but 1 policy complete and due to its restrictions and redemption date, I am cruising towards that date with much more freedom. Hence updating car last month. We have literally no savings, so hoping to achieve a saving pot by then as saving what the additional we OP'd (but using it for big stuff like the car upgrade). We are starting to look at jobs that need doing but couldn't afford now too.
I can't imagine ever changing my ways though..

Booked another Afternoon tea for me and girls on groupon, FLASH15 code for 15% off, but obviously TCB as well!

Another day off, dropped girls at school, we went for a run then dropped oldest off at college. Have wrapped all outstanding presents. Plus bought a few more bits online, including kindle fire 8gb £39. Nearly there, just need to come up with another present for dd2, who is currently £50 less spent than her sisters. Then will be done! Although I always say that then panic the week before.

Morning at recruitment event next to a frequently opening double door.. Freezing!! Got home then nipped straight to gym as need to get warm from inside out. All girls out, DD1 work, DD2 mates and DD3 with my mum shopping. Dave was in garage with christmas lights.

Everyone now home.. must be awful when nest properly empty.

I am dreading it already.
Even the dog doesn't like it when we aren't all home.

The biggest issue is there is no-one else to blame for the mess .

There is that!

Need to drop dd 1 at work, wondering whether it will be fit to run as a bit drizzley at the mo. Might be a gym instead.

Less than 4 weeks to Christmas.. eek!

Cheated and went to gym.

Relaxing, chores done, PJ's on. Wish had a few days off work as lots going on and its exhausting at times.

Was thinking.. we own more than 97% of our house now. Crikey.
