    I made a list yesterday of the things I need to do/catch up on.......sadly it is too long to put on here - might crash the server!! It was 3 pages of an A5 exercise book :eek:

    I am pleased to say, though, that I have crossed off......ooh......at least 3 things so far :o :rotfl:

    Weekly food shop is done ... I spent too much but I don't feel guilty as it was all good stuff this week not loads of junk food as I'm eing good on my diet again ;):D
    We went to the farm shop first and spent £13 there which included 4 sausages, 5 chicken thighs, cooked roast beef, eggs and tonnes and 2 carrier bags full of fruit and veg :D:D:D
    Then we went to Tescos and spent £35 :eek: (weekly budget is £37.50 in total for the farm shop AND Tesco :o ), but this included 2 boxes of smoothie cartons (£6) as its the only way I can get ds to have fruit, he won't touch any kind of fruit otherwise. I also stocked up on sweetener as I only had sugar at home and that spray oil stuff ;) Now ... just need to lose some weight this week and it'll all be worth it :rotfl:

    Morning all ... yet another wet and miserable one here :confused:
    I sold an item for £2.50 last night on ebay :rolleyes: and they have paid already, and when I checked my paypal account I had £15 in there :j :j so that is now winging its way to the mortgage pot ;)
    Just off to sort out the meal plan for the week as I didn't get round to it last night :o It looks like we might be having another indoorsy type of day today, so hopefully I'll get some more niggly jobs done and I need to do some ironing :o
    On the diet front ... I was good again all day yesterday and I weighed myself again this morning, and I hav elost 2.5lbs since I started on thursday :j I know I should only do it once a week but I'm rubbish like that :D Think I might add it to my signature ...

    Wet and miserable here too. My next job is the week's meal plan - starting with a roast joint of pork that is mahoosive so will do us more than one meal.

    Have a good day x

    JUst got back from the swimming pool ... decided I couldn't face another day stuck indoors so we went swimming (£3.30), although swimming is not quite the word for it; more like an hours splashing :rolleyes: :D Made me feel like I'd done a bit of exercise although really I didn't do much at all :o:o At least I managed t dig my cossie out the back of the cupboard, first time I've used it since I moved house :D

    Now I really ought to get the hoover and the ironing oard out but I don't have much oomph at the moment, just ejoying a cup of tea first ;)
