    Thanks ani :D

    A low spend day, £5.60 spent on milk and fruit. Still not feeling great, if I'm still feeling like this by the end of the week I'll make a doctors appointment as I haven't been feeling that good for a couple of weeks.

    You poor thing. If it's any help, there are loads of bugs around at the moment that are lasting a really long time, three weeks and more, with symptoms like no energy, dizziness, upset tummies and sore heads. I had that and a chest infection too. :( Not bad enough to be off work but pretty rubbish.

    Take lots of medication and hope you feel better soon.

    Thanks ani. I've had recurring stomach issues since my early 20s so not sure if it's a flare up or a bug. Either way I hope it clears soon. Hope you're now feeling better :)

    A NSD yesterday, today should be the same.

    It has indeed been a NSD :D. I did a shift for 2nd job after my work so just meandering home now. Absolutely shattered but I have a day off tomorrow, looking forward to having a lie in :)

    Thanks monz :D

    Had a nice lie in, thought about going for a run but decided against it :o. I've booked myself in for a kettlebells class on Sunday morning, I haven't been to one for months so looking forward to it.

    I took a carload of stuff to the charity shop/tip so the flat looks a bit clearer :). I popped round to see a friend and her daughter which was lovely and also picked up the stuff for doing the doors. Spent the evening planing the bedroom door so now we have a bedroom door again :D. Only 5 more doors to go! I also popped to the supermarket and got a wee top up shop to do us over the weekend - £13.23 spent.

    Ended up waking up 5 minutes before the kettlebells class started so didn't manage to go to it :o however, since I've been planning doors all weekend that is a pretty good workout ;) I'll have a look at the gym's website and book myself into another class. Most of the doors are now done, just 2 more to do tomorrow night after work.

    NSDs yesterday and today. Looking forward to payday tomorrow :)
