    Today's stepup skimmie is £9.28 to savings :D

    Not a lot to report today; my spreadsheet is looking pretty good. I'm expecting a good sum from the holiday let this month, so am hoping to do a bumper OP at the end of the month. We'll see what happens between now and then! Got a spendy w/e coming up; DH's got relatives over from the US, and I'm cooking for them on Friday night, but we're all going out for Sat lunch, and then on Sunday we're taking my grandma out for her 85th. I've got the money set aside, so shouldn't impact on things too much.

    Bootcamp tonight, so I'm a bit broken. The leg stuff I can do, and I :heart: squats :o but I hate anything to do with arms, mine are so weak :( and today was all about arms.. I do wonder if they'll ever improve. Day 2 on no wheat/grains etc and feeling good though. Oh, and hayfever sucks!

    xx

    Have a great weekend step up! Fab news re bumper overpayment that's coming your way :j

    Enjoy your lunch with grandma, sounds lovely :)
  • Thanks DFB35 :) today's lunch was delicious.. Steak and salad, very paleo! It was lovely to see DH's relatives, although it might be a costly visit, as DH now wants to visit them next year :o Not sure he's being very realistic ...

    Today's OP is £7.40 :T hope everyone is ok out there? xx

    Squuueeeeh hello!!!

    I am back. I have been reading :o 'the primal blueprint' - a gift to read from lovely apple and it is funny you mention the paleo diet as he is rather into the similar thing ;)

    Yikes at visiting DH's relatives!! Show him the budgets ;)

    Well done for the OP and woop for big payments at the end of the month. I just got my payslip yesterday and contrary to my usual jam it in my bag then file it right away, it is by the bed and I keep looking at it :rotfl:

    Big hugs!! xxx

    It is basically the diet I am following only currently I am not having more that 20gms of carbs :eek: - but that is to get me into a stage of ketosis for 6 weeks and then I can lift it bit by bit and see what fits and if anything prompts a migraine. I am feeling excellent on it today though, and day 6 and my thighs are already noticeably slimmer and I wasn't even doing it for that!! :rotfl: xx

  • I had 60g today and yesterday.. Haven't weighed as yet so we'll see. I've bought some 85% chocolate, and so far one square has been enough.. ;)
