    Is it do-able price wise? You might not get another chance to do it but don't skint yourself.

    Good idea to focus on something positive. You have a lot to cope with that you can't do anything about so it's good to focus on something you can xx

  • Thanks SA. Wise words.

    As if by magic, the tickets for swimming with dolphins (and SeaWorld/Busch Gardens etc) were on flash sale, so I’ve booked them. I’ll think about the rest at a later date.

    5.5lbs on at chub club :eek:. Luckily someone has already eaten all the chocolate.....

    DS2 is coming down with the flu now :(

    Big boo to the 5.5lbs :( Still time to rein it in for the holiday though, all is not lost :)

    Brilliant that the swimming with dolphins tickets went on sale :)

    Boo to the flu hitting DS2 :(

  • Evening all!

    DS2 is nowhere near as bad as I thought he’d be today. More of a cold than anything. We’ve played it safe and stayed in though, which at least means it’s been a NSD :T. 5th of the month so far.

    Have been angelic with my eating yesterday and today :A. Hopefully will lose what I gained this week. If my eleventy billion trips to the loo are anything to go by, I’ve lost most of it in water already :rotfl:.

    Evening PLMBL,

    Good news that DS isn't feeling bad.

    Well done you on your eating too xx

  • Glad to see my diary is still here! Awful business with all these diaries disappearing :(. I use mine to log DH’s dodgy days and would be gutted to lose it :eek:.

    Today was almost a NSD but we ran out of a couple of things and I picked them up from Mr A’s on the school run. We took the dog to the beach so nice free exercise.

    Couple of other money related things from the last couple of days;
    Saved £2 using a voucher for diesel.
    Found 5p roadkill :p.
    Won 5 free SW meals from Iceland worth £15 :T.

    This diary malarky is just getting out of hand :(

  • I'm glad DS2 is better than you expected :). NSDs are hard to have when you keep running out of things :mad:.
