    Lucky what a roller coaster you have had the last few days :grouphug::grouphug: for you pet.

    well done for Slimmer of the week.... I must get back to chub club but I fear the scales of doom will be more than I can handle right now!

  • Nice quiet day today (if you don't count the noise of the wind!). Went to the gym this morning as DH was back to his 'normal' self, but then have been in the house the rest of the day apart from school pick up. Wind has been really strong and I was almost blown off my feet which is no mean feat for a chubster!

    NSD#6 today :T. First time I've exceeded my personal target for many months, though I still have a few more to go to achieve the 10 I told MiT I would get. Won't get any more for a few days though, as we are going to a party tomorrow night in a social club so that will be a small spend on soft drinks, and then it is DS2's party on Sat which we pay for on the day.

    Utility company still haven't claimed the direct debit that none of the staff knew if they would or not, and it's now 2 days after the timescales that the letter gave for reclaiming. I would ring up and ask what is going on, except I really don't see what the point is when their @rs3 doesn't know what their elbow is doing!

    Windy weather charges the positive (or possible negative) ions which causes the energetic activity


    Just popping up again to say I just saw the last moments of a report on our local news station that I thought might be of some interest or help to your family

  • Hi Lucky :hello:

    As always, a few days away from your diary and soooo much has happened! My thoughts are with you and DH after his seizure. Fantastic news about your NSD and SOTW! I am super jealous as my NSDs are going really badly this month! Gunna have to work a bit harder to catch you up!

    How is Grandma?

    Enjoy your time out and I hope DS2's party goes well. :)

    October xx

    Enjoy DSs birthday party tomorrow. I'm celebrating DSs birthday, also Monday (but he's 27) on Sunday with a trip to Nand0s. That way I can stick to my diet.

  • Morning all! Quick update again as it's all systems go this morning.

    Yesterday consisted of gym, lots of little jobs, food shopping at Mr T's and my Auntie's Birthday party. I have been [STRIKE]naughty, sneaky [/STRIKE] clever and changed the day my new shopping budget week starts, from a Saturday to a Friday. The only reason it was ever a Saturday was that was the first day I went shopping in 2015. However, changing to a Friday makes sense because I can get shopping while the boys are at school. Taking the boys shopping always costs more. Plus, today is DS2's party and shopping today would have been stressful. Anyway, I shopped yesterday and I'm at just over £62 of this week's budget.

    Party last night was ace. It was in a social club so only spent £6 all night! Got home around 11.30pm and thought everyone would lie in, but DS2 was still up just before 8am.

    DH is a bit vague today. Hoping it will get better the more he wakes up. Epilepsy nurse rang yesterday, Consultant wants him to try another new medication. They have put off trying this one because it can make people angry and depressed and we already have problems with that, but it the words of the Consultant we are 'running out of options so we have to give it a go'. Batten down the hatches, it'll be a bumpy ride!!

  • Thanks Granny, sorry forgot to say hope you enjoy Nandos too. I was super good at my Auntie's party last night and didn't touch the buffet etc. I had my tea before I went and then it didn't bother me at all. I'm not so sure I'll fair the same with DS2's birthday cake later though!! Xx
