    Great news into 3 figures on the CC, coming down nicely :T

    You're ahead of me, just about to put the w/m on and then I have to consult the DIYers where on the line I can hang it whilst they're working on the garden. It's like a site meeting!

    Better get a wiggle on, they'll be here soon and I'm not ready :eek:

  • Lovely day yesterday and the sun shone, littlies were shattered after a day at the coast and a beach visit!

    Load of washing on (you'd be bored if I didn't update up on my washing status) and just waiting our house guests to awake before setting out for another day!

    Did spend a little on food yesterday, but not too bad, trying to be good today not only from a MSE point of view, but I've lost 12 pounds in the last weeks and still have another 4 stone to go, so really want to continue the momentum there!

    Happy Sunday all!

  • What a glorious weekend, the sun has shone and we have had a lovely few days. DH back to work tomorrow :-(

    Now all the guests are done for the Summer, I'm looking forward to having full control over expenditure again on days out and will enjoy the last two and a bit weeks before it's back to School / work again!

    Pay day is about 10 days away and I'm more than ready for it.
