crazycatlady1 I'm absolutely green with envy, i've been hoping to see Elbow for sometime, anyway have a great night.
Spend day here as predicted but unfortunately needed much more than milk on closer inspection of cupboards.
On the upside managed to drop 2lbs in weight this week, i don't quite know how as i've succumbed to treats on several occasions.
Hoping for a couple SFD'S this week and will try extra hard to take lunch to work.

Other people put money in envelopes. Maybe do that for the pub quiz and dancing - so long as you don't spend any other money

Thanks AppleMuncher I could do that with dancing/pub quiz as they cost a specific amount - that could increase my chances of hitting 15SFD!!
Have a great night CCL! and happy Sunday all.0 -
evening all
sfd today and another swim! listed all my stuff on gumtree and sold 2 items today for £9. Also had some free stuff collected as well. selling another item tomorrow at work for £3. will be listing the unsold gumtree stuff at work tomorrow as well.
so i decided out of interest to sand a patch on two of my victorian floorboards. mainly as some are painted in thick red paint. good news is it sands off easily but the black one was splintered a bit. also found 2 nails and generally they need to be de-nailed to sell. its quite dark in the loft so i am going to get mum to help me bring them down next week for a thorough inspection. have been offered £8sqm for them by a reclamation yard as long as they are in ok condition. could get more on ebay maybe but not sure if i want the faff! can then get them to look at the massive joists i found and the victorian door to see if they want them as well. all the stuff is sorted in the loft nowhoping to get at least £150 for it all

Tomorrow will be a spendy day as need to buy some more food and get petrol.
I will be fitting a gym session in and also meeting my friend for a catch up. wow tomorrow will be busy
have a lovely evening all will check in again tomorrow0 -
Evening All,
Not an SFD today as had to get petrol, I also gave in and ordered myself a book on Kindle £5.60, was book 5 of the game of thrones series. Wish I hadn't started reading them now as he hasn't written them all yet!
Quiet day today as horrible weather so DD and I were pretty much stuck indoors apart from a brief visit to my Grandma. All the oldies at the home love seeing DD, pity my Gma is so far gone with dementia she barely acknowledges either of us
Anyhoo, scores on the doors today:

Evening everyone...

HAPPY <belated>
:bdaycake:
BIRTHDAY
KAT!!!
Wishing you a year FULL of good fortune, love and happiness!!!
Well done Fmess on clearing your card - awesome job!!!
I've been in a real dip the last few days... argument with colleague at work... dull and dreary weather... no motivation to exercise... eating comfort food... NO MORE!
Decided I just needed to get to the gym and kick start myself again... It's just a blip! One huge <don't tell me off!> but healthy shop later I'm restocked and ready to go... So - spendy weekend but shouldn't need to buy food for a LONG time - just things like milk etc.
Having a relaxing night in and am going to start my week feeling positive come what may!!!

Thank you
luckystarr well done for resisting the takeaway, they are often my downfall!
siannelaz sorry to hear your grandma has dementia, it's such a horrible condition.
Today has been a spend day as I needed to pay for a taxi to and from the 10k race. Completed the race in 1 hour 10 minutes and I'm ecstatic with my time as I've don't really do exercise and I've been trying really hard to train since DecemberI've never ran anywhere near that pace before
The rest of the day I have spent on the sofa lesson planning and I'm now achey all over. Walked the dogs to try loosen up a bit but it didn't really help.
Got one more super busy week this week before the Easter holidays and I'm so excited for a restAlso planning to further declutter the house and thoroughly clean, what an exciting life I lead
