How was the class Lilmiss? My new top for the gym arrived today, I love it so hopefully that will motivate me to get my fat butt back in there soon

Today ds had a friend round for tea and I had forgotten so had to nip to Sainsburys for a few bits, spent £14 but got £2 worth of nectar points from vouchers I had. I also spent £38 on petrol which will hopefully last quite a chunk of this month. No other spends today.
Really tired again tonight, this first week back is really taking it out of me

And what a Friday that was! Wow, that was an utterly mad one at work - to the point I may need to crack open the Baileys tonight

This weekends plan looks like this so far;
Saturday:
Housework
See Mr S
Some schoolwork
Sunday:
See Mum
Roast dinner
Chill out
Hopefully there's some moneymaking happening in there too somewhere

Morning, well the only thing that got done from yesterdays list was seeing Mr S, ds and i ended up staying over, I had a tickly throat (often a first sign Im getting a cold) and felt quite bleurgh, Mr S made us a gorgeous lasagne, Bournemouth won and all was right with the world

Today we got home about 11 and I have spent an hour and a half whizzing round doing some washing, unloading and reloading the dishwasher, sorting the rubbish (being good with recycling stuff), cleaning the bathroom, dusting and hoovering. I also put the lamb in the slow cooker for dinner later. Now time to catch up on here for ten minutes.
The rest of the day involves more washing, roast dinner, schoolwork, ds homework, meal planning for the week ahead and hopefully finding some more pennies
So far today is a nsd and yesterdays spends were £7 in co-op - all their chocolate was massively reduced so I got ds and Mr S ds a huge tube of jaffa cakes each (reduced to £1.25), 2 x matchmakers (63p), 5 x selection boxes (reduced to 25p each), 4 large tubes of smarties (reduced to 25p each), 2 big bags of choc coins (reduced to 50p each). Not going to do the diet much good but should keep us goinf for snacks for ages. The selection boxes have all been opened and chucked into a tin ready for afterschool snacks, the jaffa cakes got left at Mr S's flat so they will be probably all have disappeared by the time I see him next

Sorry I've not been here for a couple of days, my sore throat has turned into a stinking cold
I've had a bath and am tucked up in bed already, my nose is sooo sore 
Never mind, not much else to report as I haven't really done much this week, I did go to kettlebells followed by aerobics on monday but have felt yuck since tuesday so it has been early nights in this house this week.
Work has been very hectic again, so I'm preserving my energy for that. At least its Friday tomorrow
