So today is holiday minus two days. Called into the office for a few hours yesterday so have constructed a major to do list. Just need to be distraction free and to get through it. Also need to sort out the assisted boarding mother finally agreed to. Right, gotta go.

So after a hellish day, I'm heading for bed. I left my mobile at home, spilt tea on a cream blouse, got soaked at lunchtime and had two afternoon meetings. I'm sure the clients were impressed! We leave tomorrow at ten past eight and I still have to pack and get some work done. Alarm is set for four. Take care everyone. I'll hopefully get the odd chance to check in while away. Send frugal thoughts my way to protect me from the vices of my shopaholic sister.June 2026, Mortgage free, Emergency fund fully funded & £200/200 cash maximum pb holding .:jWeight 12st challenge 11st 2lb

Well I'm currently waiting to board our flight for four days in ny. It's been a bit hectic since we got to toronto. The flight over with mother was everything I expected but it's over. I now won't see her til I get back home on 26th. And now for the updates. First the sugar. I haven't been as good as I should have been but I have resisted quite a bit such as no dessert at the wedding. Second, the wedding. It was good but unlike any other wedding I've been to. Third, the shopping. Omg, could any of you really have resisted a cherry red kitchen aid on sale at approx £125? Plus ridiculous reductions on shoes and clothing though these are mostly for the offspring who both have July birthdays. In fact, first tranche is en route to ny where I will be meeting my daughter. Also, I'm not sure how but four handbags appear to have crept in somehow. NY is gonna be a sugar detox with few spends as we are hand luggage only. Now, gonna go and catch up on the diaries. Hope everyone is doing well. Take care.June 2026, Mortgage free, Emergency fund fully funded & £200/200 cash maximum pb holding .:jWeight 12st challenge 11st 2lb
