    Well done on the weight loss - always good to have an incentive :)

    Good news the holiday pot has been started and how lovely DS2 has started a 20p collection project :)

  • Today has been NSD#2 :D.

    Absolutely horrendous rain here all night long, so everywhere was a mud bath today. Took the dog to the beach (to avoid the swamp) which he adored, and it certainly blew the cobwebs away!

    DH is getting on my nerves but to be honest I’m not sure if it’s him or me. Could be my hormones!

  • Well done on the NSD. The beach must have been cold, but I do like being by the sea :).

    Could be hormones Lucky, hopefully the sea air will help.

    Our dog got covered in mud, everywhere is sodden. Beanie I find the beach hard to walk on since I broke my ankle but it's getting better thankfully.

    Don't go there with OHs and getting on your nerves - me too :(

  • They are so similar SA. DH was asking me earlier if he had any Christmas money left. That’ll be the money he spent all on himself while I used mine to pay the bills :mad:. He’s like Mr SA for always moving on to the next thing :(.

    Beanie, it’s certainly hard work walking on sand.

    Hairy, it was freezing on the beach! DS2 said he thought we’d gone to Antarctica!!

  • Boys went back to school today - not gonna lie, I enjoyed the peace! They have done nothing but bicker the last few days.

    Currently at £49 with P0pulus, only £1 more until they send a cheque which *should* be doable well before the end of the month pay date.

  • DH has literally just had a partial seizure. He kept saying “sorry for laughing” but he wasn’t laughing?? It looked from the outside like a ‘normal’ partial seizure, but it obviously felt different internally :( Xx
