    Final day of school hols hopefully spends shall go down soon - both on days/meals out and keeping the larder stocked!:eek:

    Need to get some things sorted out for work tomorrow, clothes sorted and a few extra pounds spotted so back on the healthy eating:o I ran yesterday but have been getting a bit lazy and only doing short runs so back to 5 miles yesterday and I really enjoyed it. I shall run again today and hopefully on sunday, should be like Twiggy by next weekend:p

    Off to meal plan from the freezer, hopefully can keep food shopping down this week as I've had a few extra spends and need to offset them somehow...:o

    Next week = return of saving spice! Uber frugality here I come:rotfl::rotfl:

    Hi Beanie, yes it went well thanks (if exhausting) and I've got a couple of extra days this week too:D met LM afterwards and had a coffee then went for a cocktail but decided a night in with some wine and a takeaway was the way forward - oh my poor feet:o:eek::o Folk were nice and so were most of the customers but soooo much to learn:eek:

    Went for a walk and a coffee with LM yesterday, nice coffee while wearing my fab wellies is a perfect date for me really:rotfl::rotfl:

    Today is first day back at school here and luckily DS was up bright and early so no need to drag him from his bed, I will be mainly doing laundry and cleaning the flat but going out for a run first once I've hung the first load.
