    I'm with you on the family thing;)

    I did a leaflet delivery job recently and had to smile at one of those jokey plaques that someone had placed by their door which said:

    Friends always welcome
    Family by appointment

    Thank you for your birthday wishes...

    Lunch was underwhelming.. shame but on the upside my brother paid for it...:T

    Then had Chinese for tea... also underwhelming... OH paid for that one..:T

    Felt knackered over the weekend, probably too much food.. but then was out again Saturday night.. very late night and felt quite poorly yesterday so went back to bed at lunchtime... Still feel a little odd today but will cope I'm sure..

    Birthday gifts.. £140 gift cards and £220 cash...:T

    DMP payment gone from account, creditors don't get paid by me until the 3rd so my other bank account always looks nice at the beginning of the month.. Takes me to 31.1% paid and into the £41k's..slowly slowly.....Will hit the 30's in the Autumn.. can't wait...

    All quiet otherwise.. have booked a long weekend off work so a 4 day week this week and next.. :D

    Got a crop of runners to pick for my tea tonight, looking forward to them..

    And the exercise starts today.. I have dusted off the wii and that will be put to use this evening...

    Have a good debt busting week..

    Its Friday.. and I have a long weekend.. No work till Tuesday..lovely...

    So have bounced on the wii, much to the amusement of my dd and my neighbours through the window..Even done a walk on the treadmill.. Not stuffed my face with any food and drink I could find on the basis obviously that I was starving.. and have managed to lose....3 LBS this week..:T Now just got to keep going.. but I am on a roll and will get rid of my roll....:rotfl:

    Money news.. well bank account very healthy as I was paid my overtime for the last few months.. Just left it sitting at the moment.. I like to look at a nice bank account...:D

    May go into London with dd on Monday, I won't be spending mind, only lunch no doubt and topping up the oyster cards... Tomorrow visiting my niece for her b.day, otherwise just chilling..

    I feel really happy that I have finally got off my large bottom.. well its not that large really.. I have 3 months until my holiday so should hit my target..(although I haven't really decided on one..) by then..

    Off to poke dd as she is still sleeping as per....

    Have a lovely friday..

    Morning....

    Sunday again.. the week's are still whizzing past..

    Weigh day Friday.. and managed to lose a 1LB... so 4lb gone.. not sure how many to go... My roll doesn't look any smaller mind...:rotfl:

    Not much to report.. its A level results day Thursday.. so will be back to update what's happening next after that...!

    No money news... Still hanging onto my overtime from last month and have still got most my birthday money and all my gift cards, not really in a shopping mood at the moment which can only be a good thing..!!

    Did lots of work last week, I am determined not to get to the end of the month and still have loads to do.. hoping its not too hot this week so I can crack on with it..

    My tomatoes are ripening everyday so I am picking and eating many a salad... Peas seem to have died a death but runners are still growing and I have 'harvested' them this morning... got all of about 6.. :rotfl:

    dd still asleep.. OH gone to play go karting and then he has promised he will sort out his clothes the bedroom has been taken over and he never puts anything away or throws anything away and always buys new when going on holiday... I have cleaned the bathroom, done more washing and will pop into town for a whizz into my fav food shop in awhile... (M & S..) just for a few bits, not a weekly shop....:eek:

    Hope your all having a lovely weekend..

    Morning Puzz :)
    Fingers crossed for some fab results on Thursday, and :T for losing those 4lbs. My rolls have got rather fond of me and don't want to leave, they don't realise they have overstayed their welcome:D

    Have a great day
