Parcelled up curtains and arranged for them to be couriered off to the buyer. Withdrew the money I made from them to top up my bank account.

I also listed a few more things on eb@y last night but scheduled them to start at 8pm Sunday.

Spends this week is just £36 on petrol but already budgeted for and a red nose for DD.

Just been for a run with dd! It was her idea. We did just under 3 miles and she absolutely loved it! We left at about 7.30 and were back by 8.15. Now all showered and having breakfast. Feel really set up for the day. We're going to go again next week.

Food shop last night came to £47.22 so have transferred over from food account to cover.

Meal plan

Tonight - Fish fingers and chips
Tomorrow - roast chicken all the bits
Monday - salmon pasta
Tuesday - pancetta pasta
Wednesday - lime & coconut chicken
Thursday - jacket potatoes
Friday - food shop night

I'm out at a quiz tonight so will need to take some money out for ticket, raffle and drinks - hoping that £30 will cover it. I need to get a few GF bits from sainsbugs today. Need to be a bit strict as our sainsbugs has a lovely homewares dept and I am always so tempted :cool:

You can take kids to parkrun with you, DD might enjoy that and it's FREE:D

I think I've been glutened not sure how it's happened but I have felt very rough and in quite a lot of pain the last couple of days.

Had a lovely weekend though. I went out Saturday night to a quiz and our team won :T On Sunday I spent a really nice couple of hours doing the front and back gardens. I have been itching to get out and do them for weeks but it has just been too cold. I weeded, gave the lawn a quick cut, did the edges and scraped the moss off the patio. It all looks much neater now and I am starting to think about what things I want in my tubs. Won't do that yet though as the early morning frost
could destroy them! Maybe towards the middle of May.

One week to go till payday and as usual I am hanging on by my fingernails There is a very slight chance that my maintenance will go in by the weekend but I'm not holding my breath. More than likely it will go in on payday again when I'm not so worried about it. It's all about cashflow. I have money in the petrol and childcare accounts that I could shuffle over if necessary.

I'm still de-choxing. Cannot believe I have got to day 17 with no chocolate! I have planned it badly though as I am off to a chocolate party on Friday......

Still managing the 100 daily stomach crunches and went for 5 runs last week including another one with DD on Saturday.

Another 2 items sold on eb@y not for great amounts but it's all extra for the pot.

Hang in there

Booo to the gluten and not even going to talk about no chocolate for that long (why? why? )
