    Hello all

    Been outside in the sun all day today. It's been red hot. Finally had a lazy day doing not a lot except for reading and relaxing :) What a shame it's not Bank Holiday this weekend.

    Mr SA is a lot better, he was literally burning hot last night,he must have had a 24 hour bug.

    Just 13 more working days to holiday :)

    Can't believe it's been nearly a week since I last posted. What a change in the weather from sunshine to storms. Everywhere was flooded yesterday afternoon. Where I work we have a glass roof and the lightning was right overhead :eek: This afternoon has been better dry and bright and so muggy.

    Not a lot to report really. I lost the half a pound I put on last week. I'm really going to push to get another 1.5 off before I go on holiday then I'll be free at WW. Trying really hard to remember to write everything down and stick to my points.

    Mr SA has been ok mostly. He's done a few daft things but this is normal for him. We took the dog out just after lunch and he was crossing the road on his scooter and looking everywhere but where he was going and I had to shout him because a car was coming in his direction. He just called me a back seat driver! And this is why he's had his licence taken off him but he can't see it. Oh and he's got two England flags attached to his scooter now which is really embarrassing.

    I've been really busy at work all work yet again, the week has flown by. Now only got 8 working days to holiday :j

    Finance wise my credit card statement is :eek::eek: and I have £435.40 in my VSP :)

    Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

    Unfortunately the scooter now has a puncture and it's not going anywhere flags and all. Mr SA has been down all day, mainly because of the scooter. I told him to ring the shop first thing tomorrow.

    I got my suitcase out today and have partially packed. And guess what - I tried on those dresses I bought in the sales last year which were too tight and they fit now :) So chuffed.

    Today was going to be a no spend day until I started packing my holiday toiletries and identified what I needed, so I trotted off to our local Savers ..
    Weather has been dull and rainy today but still muggy.

    8 more work get ups.

    Yah for dresses :)
    I shoe horned myself in to a pair of jeans that have been too small for a while.
    Still a bit tight but getting there slowly.

    There's nothing worse than tight clothes. I love it that all my clothes are slightly too big now. Worth all the effort.

    It has done nothing but rain here since Saturday night. Torrential rain. Got soaked twice today. Mr SA's scooter has been fixed so he's mobile again, if it ever stops raining he'll be able to go out. Should've been just a low spend today £3.50 on Zumba but had to add £4 on top for bus fares due to rain and not being able to walk to work.
