    Evening all

    Another 2 NSD to declare and my last 2 of July. Taking me to 10/12 NSD so 2 short of target.

    I know exactly where my money's been going. Supermarket shopping. :( popping in here and there. Particularly when hubby's home, which he will be again for most of August.

    Will def continue with the menu planning, but I think the answer is also eat less then I'd have to shop less. :D

    See you in August

    Hi Kerri, I have to agree with Red - it sounds like you have been bitten by a cleg!! (I think they are also called horseflies???) They have a truly nasty bite and it takes several hours for your body to react. I have a friend who actually had to go to NHS24 at A&E last weekend after being bitten by one. She's on a course of anti-biotics now. If you start to feel unwell at all phone your GP. Sorry to be such a happy chappy :(

    Kerri please get it checked out, I got bitten 3 years ago and ended up with an ulcerated leg :(

    Thanks for your concern guys, thankfully (touch wood) I'm not feeling unwell, and luckily I don't tend to react badly to most bites / stings etc so I'm hoping that might be in my favour. Certainly if it doesn't improve / get any better in the next 12 - 24 hrs I shall toddle off to a doc (although trying to get an appt round here is like trying to meet the Pope...it's either an emergency appt or they have nothing for weeks) Annoyingly I have the dentist tomorrow so double time out of work is not fitting well into the schedule. :(

    The field where we do boot camp doens't have long grass or a lot of water, but it had been raining so I can only think perhaps it was that. Argh - who said exercise is good for you :rotfl:

    Achh I'm fine really, just letting life get in the way a bit. Thanks for being concerned :A

    Now we have to worry about Spoony - has anyone seen her around????

    Helloooooooooo Freeby :wave:

    I'm here, honest, just struggling to keep up with NSDs at the moment, [STRIKE]life[/STRIKE]crap is taking over :o:o

    I logged in to do my usual Tuesday update but I see you've beaten me to it:o.... How about I do tomorrow's instead and do the first update for August on Thursday?

    I'm not sure I'll be able to keep up with NSDs for August and September so I may not set a target but I'll do some updates as and when I can if that's OK?

    And I still haven't totalled up my NSDs for July, will have a look at that tomorrow.

    I had noticed you hadn't been posting, so I'm glad you're OK :A

    Me too, life is just crap sometimes, there is bound to be good things for us just around the corner :)

    Ah well I was going to p.m. you and Sazzie about the updates. I think we should see how it goes without doing them annd I will come and total up most evenings/mornings. We can all keep each other motivated and encouraged. What does everyone think????
    And I still haven't totalled up my NSDs for July, will have a look at that tomorrow.

    Just dandy :rotfl: I just need to be a bit more on top of things than I have been recently :)
