    Morning all. Up early here but laid in bed for a while as the sun came out and the birds started singing.

    Just having breakfast, have a chicken to cook for dinner today. Other plans:

    Gym
    Bath
    2 dogs walks
    Hoover and mop through house, still haven't used mop I bought about 2 weeks ago
    Gardening

    Have a great day everyone.
    Spend less now, work less later.
  • Morning everyone - wow Lynne that sounds like fun - have a great time. Happy hols to LW and anyone else going away soon.


    Brill weight loss Valli - shows what can be achieved when you stick to it! That was my intention this week - however I "f" worded and hit the biscuits!! Should be OK as I am at a target so have a bit of leeway.


    Welcome to more newbies and returners.


    Plan for today is
    breakfast
    sc pork casserole
    washing on
    Garage sort - as soon as it is a little warmer - it was far too windy yesterday!
    Dust and hoover through
    More decluttering.


    Have a great day everyone. x

    Morning everyone.
    Been a bit MIA but was working Friday and met up with friends yesterday.

    So today is a bit catch up before the new week.

    Skinty Welcome back.
    Valli Well done on the weight loss.

    Sure there was other things I wanted to mention. Memory has gone.

    Lynne- that sounds like a great holiday. Hope you have an amazing time!

    Bedding is in. Breakfast made and eaten. Just chilling with my cuppa while hubby is out for a run. There is a rumour that he may take the the boys out to soft play so if it happens I have decided I will do some crafting and make some cards as a) the house is looking ok b) I never do anything like that anymore and c) I will be decluttering/sorting crafting stuff out. But as I said we will see if it happens! Lol!

    Morning all

    Been flying so far:
    WM on
    Downstairs hoovered
    Washing up done
    Kitchen sofa hoovered and clean cat towel put on
    Terrace swept

    Just going to hoover the chair in DH office, kittens sleep there at night, throw from there in the wash, and then have a shower and I need to go food shopping, not fun on a Sunday but needs must (may still see if I can avoid this)

    Morning all

    thanks for the 'well dones'. Breakfast was 41g all bran and half-a-grapefruit.

    Sprouts have been blanched, open frozen and bagged. Benny is now eating the peelings. I suppose that makes me a freegan (well a bit) lol

    I have washing on the line, am about to clean out the hutch then go to feed my friend's cats.

    Hope all those about to be having holidays have splendid ones.

    Morning folks. Have been MIA this week, but have survived another UTI (getting to be the normal state of affairs) and a dental extraction. Got really lucky in that there has been virtually no pain from the tooth. Still got a blocked ear and raging tinnitus, however.


    Out to lunch with OH and the small peeps and their OH's today. Looking forward to it.


    then more ironing. And maybe some reading...

    Afternoon all
    Lynne and Lw hope you both have lovely a holidays
    Been to the first carboot of the season, didn't buy much and stayed clutter neutral. I bought two new lampshades which are already hung up and the old ones thrown out. Bought some wrapping paper two rolls for £1 after having to spend £1.60 on a sheet yesterday, new bike lock for DS2 to replace the one he lost the key for which can now be binned.
    DD2 and her fella have come round, he went through the pile of computer discs and books I'd found in the puter drawer, he has declared them all too old to be of any us to anyone so they ae all ready to bin. Will offer the disc to the school as bird scarers for the allotment. Two old digital cameras that have no leads have also been declared binnable.
    Table looking so much better now the puter stuff has gone, I have a carful of stuff in the hall for them to take with them.
    Just started drizzling here so no more washing will be done today. Just made a start on food so will go and finish peeping.

    Hugs good wishes and posi vibes to all who need/want them. Have a good Sunday all
