    Hi Money savers,
    We are just about recovered from the norovirus - so ziggy you had it too......truly vile, isn't it? Let's hope we've all seen the last of it for a good long time! we simply couldn't believe just how quickly it came on!
    Today, I've:
    *Done next week's meal plans.
    *Done shopping list, as Mr f volunteered to get the shopping on the way home from work tomorrow.
    *Updated grocery budget which had started to get into a muddle. Worked out a 'refund' for Mr f as he'd bought groceries from his 'personal spends' budget without thinking.
    *Started chitting our seed potatoes on windowsill.....doing a blight-resistant variety so hopefully a good crop.
    *Dug over one of my big borders & divided some existing plants up to fill gaps.
    *Started the first nettle bucket of the year.....it makes really good free plant food, but smells sooooooooo rank......
    *Did surveys
    *Did a challenging job list for tomorrow now that I'm feeling better.
    That's it for me.....Oh & finally (what a caring partner am I?, lol)... because I was a bit worried that Mr f might try & go in to work this morning before he was properly better, I hid the car keys!
    Cheers,
    foxgloves x

    update: had an internal struggle from 4pm until just after 6 re going for a workout but forced self and even though it was spending £7.50 I feel SO much better for having gone and more motivated to lose weight.

    In fact, been v inspired by Welsh Woofer's diary so going to start my own but not tonight as too tired and want to get up at 6 to do a workout before work!

    I'd like to lose about 2 stone if possible and feel really motivated now. If only I could feel similarly motivated about work!
    I want to be a writer
