Excellent news on the cc deflating Hope your weekend is a good'un with Mr Pippi

Mr pippi left on Sunday for an adventure on his bike, he's a kind soul, he left me his cold. he's not here for around six weeks but I will be down near mid and end of month in the lands of scotlandshire.

I'm collecting the manchild from uni to the summer :T

Hey kc I hope the head gurgling is ok now? Be careful out there gardenings an extreme activity don't you know.

Well work yesterday made my head hurt so. Came home 1/2 hour early as things were winding down. Had a long few walks with mutts, had a bath and snuck out on bike for 20 mins.

I'm loving the new phone app thing for walking I walked a goodly amount last month (64 miles) but I guess that's only around 2 a day. Given my food consumption, I've not lost any weight but it's spurned me on to try and walk more this month. Free exercise is always good. I can't find a decent pair of trainers (I walk in boots) so must see if I can find something.

Any recommendations fo frugal yet supportive footwear? My walking boots are fab (and free from a pal) but a bit heavy for this time of year.

Ponders

Will do the post match analysis on food/budget spends and meal plan for this week.

Yesterday was real comfort food leftover tAtties and cabbage with cauli cheese. Just what a cold needs

Only bought milk yesterday, not a NSD but a LSD

Off to work, have a good un!

Its fine, thanks **hangs head sheepishly** my head was practically upside down because I was picking up the dratted pea gravel :rotfl:to put it behind the drainpipe where the slate chips are, then just a few pretty slate chips on top to finish it all off.

Coo! That sounds really good! The average, not so much :D but you do a lot else. I still haven't smarted up my smart phone

I'm appallingly ignorant about what the right footwear for any one situation should be. Can't help you there, sorry.

Can I ask you something though, Pippi? My chili seedlings are successful! And I'm very happy :j They now have 4 - 6 leaves each, and I'm sure I should be starting to do something.

And just to let you know, 2 lupin seeds have come up! I collected them from the garden of the holiday cottage I went to last year with my mum and my sister - they've been planted for ages, but they just came up two days ago. In fact, they're lucky I hadn't chucked them out, they've been sitting there for more than 4 weeks!

You're at work now, of course, but 'speak' later - hope your day's gone well (and sorry to hear it was Mr Pippi that gave you the cold, but glad to hear you're getting the manchild back soon!). :T

:kisses3:

We had a takeaway over the weekend so eating out is now at £49.00

Need to do another meal plan as aside the takeaway which we had over three meals we've not done too badly!

Ok so the post match analysis for May is about to happen......

Groceries came in at £230 - Limit was £200 so we were over budget but I had a late month slurge due to hormones:rotfl:

Petrol £115.74
(work petrol expenses were £97, so the net of that is £18.74 :T budget was £150

Treats/takeaways £49

Budget was £50

Well that's OK isn't it. Not great but OK.

Off to find out what I think we'll spend in June.
