Thanks Elephant. You too.
Today is tidy up and get ready day. No going anywhere in the car. This afternoon we are hoping for a film with hot chocolate and a new routine for the new house which is church on Christmas eve.0 -
Sounds lovely.Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became
In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!0 -

How have I gained six pounds in two days?!
Going to help DD poo pick in a minute to try to work some of it off.
Confession time. Overspending and food waste have got out of control here. Time for a fiscal fast and a new regime.0 -
It's probably the type of food you ate... Although quantity might have something to do with it...
Am off to stay with big sis for a few days. They are veggie so I eat much more rice, lentil, starchy stuff than normal, which always has an impact...
Does 'poo picking' have a category on mfp or fitbit for calories burned?NST March lion #8; NSD ; MFW9/3/23 Whoop Whoop!!!0 -
Ooops - although the 6lb won't all be 'proper' weight gain, I guess? - more of a Christmas-food-baby gain? Sadly (in some ways) my presents included a voucher for afternoon tea, lots of 'posh' chocs, a Hotel Choc deluxe dipping experience (some bits are 'interesting' (not opened it yet - just from the box)), salted caramel hot chocolate, shortbread and a 'taster menu' dining 'experience'..... I fear I am staying round for a while longer!
