not been on for a few days. Been a bit of a horrible week. Busy and a friend of mine passed away suddenly on Thursday night. I knew she had been ill but had no idea it was so serious. She just turned 50 last week and I am gutted she is gone. So so sad.Funeral is on Thursday and I will need to go to that.
I'm also into my overdraft :eek:. I was going to use cleaning money to stop me going into it but I didn't as I want to physically pay money from a debt with that. I will try and use the minimum I can from overdraft. I got 2 payments from CSA but was expecting more. I'll see if it arrives on Monday or not as that would put me back in the black. Very annoying. I will plod on though.
Just spending today tidying around as nothing else on. Mothers day tomorrow though so I want place tidy so I can chill until I need to go to cleaning work.
Was at a night out last night and ate a fish supper. Not had one for months and it was so so good. Feel guilty about it mind you but I will work it off before Tuesday.

Taken far too young.
Glad to see a bit more CSA money coming in, shame it's not consistent and not enough! Hopefully you'll be back in the black soon though.

Happy Mothers Day folks xx
I'm home alone today as DD has a dancing competition and DS is working. Both feeling guilty about leaving me but I am delighted to have a nice peaceful day before going to work.
My SW leader was on phone last night asking if I would be interviewed by telly crew :eek:. They want to speak to people at different stages of their journey. I have to take a before picture with me. The thing is I don't really see any difference in me but with a 3 stone loss there must be. Folks keep mentioning it so it must be noticeable. Better make sure I have 'my face' on .
Just going to footer about today and do some washing, a wee bit of ironing, a wee bit of tidying but tbh not very much as I have a 5 hour cleaning shift ahead of me tonight. As I've said before though I treat that as a paid workout so no biggie and I get £50 for doing it. I might go on bike for a wee while later as well and just spend a couple of days really going for it and try and get my 2lbs. 5 weeks yesterday and I still have the dress to get in to. It zips but still way way too tight. I'm actually now starting to wonder if it will actually fit me. I really hope it does though as it will save me money on an outfit :rotfl:
Heading away to do my ironing now and enjoy my 'me' day. Lovely gifts of flowers and a new sewing box from the kids so I am a happy Mummy today5 Year plan. April 2020 to June 2025- CC and mortgage free by time I'm 60

So sorry about your friend - it puts life into perspective......
Sounds like you were spoilt for Mothers Day - me too
I bought a jacket today - reduced to £35 and I paid for it from the fiver a week I've put away instead of paying at chub club.........made my day. I do LOVE going to check in at sw and not have to hand cash overBut I'd better pull my socks up.....I'm creeping up a half pound each time I go and only half within target range, I've decided I'm never going to pay for someone to tell me I've gained weight again.

Happy Mother's Day MiT! Glad you were spoilt.
So sorry to hear about your friend. My Dad was 50 when he died too, it really is no age at all.

Don't think it will be tv but will definitely be on the SW site. EEK !!
Cleaning shift done. Lovely guests who left place in good nick so we were finished half an hour early
Going to an open evening at the uni DS is considering tomorrow and the whole week is crazy from then on.
Got all my clothes (except 1 pair of trousers) that are too big either for recycling or for the girl in my work. Huge big bag for her. Could have sold them for a few pounds but would rather give them to this girl as she is such a lovely person and so generous to everyone that it'll be nice to do something good for her.
Tired tonight as has been another busy weekend. I ended up clearing out cupboards today as I had peace and quiet to do it and I just can't sit down ha ha
Anyway going for a wee catchup and then bed xx5 Year plan. April 2020 to June 2025- CC and mortgage free by time I'm 60
