  • Oooh never thought of TK Maxx for Sketchers! I'm a total convert to their memory foam shoes after the plantar fasciitis problems I've had.

    Hope you get a holiday sorted Xx

    I always get my trainers from there Lucky. I've had top brand ones for as little as £12. The Skechers were £34.99 but they're a lot more expensive elsewhere.

    A holiday in the sun sounds nice ;)

    Hope you and Mr SA agree on somewhere nice x

    Just been looking at holidays, total dilemma do we go before the building works or after? Found a hotel in Ibiza we've been to before and liked, it's a good price BUT I'd be happy to wait until October and go back to Lanzarote in a villa.

    I think the best thing to do is ask the builder when he thinks they'll be done by. If before October then the villa in Lanzarote wins. Don't think I can afford to do both - but would be very nice :)

    Beautiful evening here, best part of the day, has been a bit sunny one minute cloudy the next all day.

    That's Monday done :)

    Only just managed to sit down after taking Mr SA to doctors for a medication review. He's ended up with more medication than before! On top of anti-d's he's got stomach tablets, painkillers for his back and super strength vitamins. Good job he's got a medical exemption certificate as it would've cost a bomb! The doctor was really good with him trying to sort him out.

    This week I WILL:

    Track all my food
    Track all my spends
    Track all my exercise
    Track all my AFDs and NSDs

    So far so good - tracked my points, gym at lunchtime, AFD and NSD today too.

    NSD was unintentional as I was meant to go to Post Office to renew passports but didn't have time.

    I am MTG - tracking everything :) Glad you're keeping an eye on me.

    Walked to work yesterday and did Zumba :) Today is rest day "only" done 15,000 steps.

    Renewed passports today. Mr M small delivery. So expensive day but all planned for and tracked. Yesterday spent £30 in Mr S Tu 25% off on boring stuff - socks, undies, PJs for Mr SA.

    I think we've more or less decided to wait until the building work is done before we go on holiday again. Would be too much of a rush to go before.

    Weather is far too nice to be at work, hope it lasts for the bank holiday weekend.

    Do you know how long the 25% off Tu is on by any chance?
    They have trainer socks I like?
