  • Plan for today & tomorrow:

    Chub club weigh-in
    Underwear shopping
    Return a few items of clothing for a refund
    Try not to buy anything else!
    Ask neighbours if they'll keep an eye on The Girls whilst we're away
    Pay CC bills :eek:
    Housework
    A couple of hours in the garden
    Laundry/ironing
    Start packing the suitcases

    Freezer update:
    2 lamb burgers + 2 wholemeal pitta (dinner on Monday)
    3/4 loaf wholemeal seeded bread (we don't normally freeze bread but we wouldn't have finished a loaf before Wednesday)
    2 x 80 g bacon lardons
    1/2 bag peas
    Mixed berries
    Blackberries
    Sloes (must buy gin in Duty Free)
    HG chillies
    Curry leaves
    Ice

    :T - it's never been so empty!

    Whoop!

    I suggested to DH we could have chickens when we move.
    He said "No. Just no."

    Do a Tilly. Pitch for pigs then settle for chickens dancing-chicken.gifdancing-chicken.gifdancing-chicken.gif
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    My fitbit clocks up some steps when I am driving (I do a lot of driving) so maybe you will still be 'walking' when you are 'flying' and still be ahead! I am a long way behind you in steps, I did lose my charger for a week so that's my excuse:o;)


    Well done on the weight loss.:)
