I have spent £7 and £10 n3ctar points on food tonight, including
£3 on 2 big bags of quorn mince which is now GF :j Not been able to eat quorn was what stopped me being veggie when I became coeliac and I cannot stand the taste of beef mince. Expect lots and lots of spag bol and shepherds pie on the meal plan. Honestly, its daft but I am :j.

I am the opposite to you - react to all moulds, fungus and micro-proteins. I also have to be quite careful of cheese (minimising blue cheeses that cause really sore mouth at best and blisters when the intolerance is worse) - it's what stops me being vegetarian really. I also react a bit to soya so even Tofu is a bit of an issue. I used to like raw mushrooms too!

Lovely day with DM and DSD, showed them our new house and they love the location. Fingers crossed they decide to move up here. Ate a big lunch and do not need to eat again until tomorrow :rotfl:

DH and I need to lose some weight before our hols. Not that we will be getting our bodies out in Somerset in March but the Christmas excess is still hanging around and we have a half marathon to train for starting tomorrow for me:eek: DH has a chest infection starting and will not be doing any exercise until that is cleared up but can still watch what he is eating. I will start using MFP from tomorrow and try and eat more protein and less carbs, that and exercise is what works for me.

I need a bit more focus on getting some stuff done at home so my list for next week is:

• Up to date with washing
• Up to date with ironing
• All laundry put away
• Pick up DH top from the dry cleaners
• Meal plan and complete Sains order for next Monday
• Run x 3
• Swim x 1
• Cancel DH Exp3r1an
• Spend less than £10 on weekend food top up
• Mop floors and vac upstairs
• Change sheets
• Confirm if seeing DB and DSIL at weekend
• Take up DS new school trousers
• Email mortgage broker to advise no news on house purchase
• Finalise March budget on YNAB
• Update MFP every day

DH will help with the laundry and do the ironing but we are both away some nights this week so have a fair bit to get through. Thank god for DMIL helping us out with childcare :A

I have achieved absolutely nothing off my list so it's going to be a busy weekend

DH is at work this morning and we are at the theatre tonight.

If we can concentrate on getting the laundry done, the sheets changed and the on line shopping sorted I can catch up with the rest next week as I am only away one night.

Must run tomorrow too.

Good news is we have almost reached the summit of the laundry mountain.:)

Bad news is we have lost our buyer

Oh no! Sorry to read that

We have had another offer on the house from the buyer who didn't get it last time. It is too low and the EA has gone back to them. We are not in a desperate situation as our vendor isn't ready to move so either they up the offer or we market it again. That means mucking the house out :eek:

Savings are looking healthy, the only plus side of the sale been delayed is we can save up more. Deposit is all in place we are now saving for the remainder of the costs.

Added up my change pot and with some TCB that has paid out I have added another £60 to the savings.

I have put our SO back to the normal payment as we will be saving not OPing until we move.

Hey Xspender, have read your diary and am very impressed at how focused you are! Sorry to hear about your buyer, hopefully you will get another one before it impacts and the vendor from the house you want will find something too!

Thanks for reading jodles16.

We have had an offer from a buyer who made an offer last month but we went with someone else and have 4 viewings lined up for this week.

I have had a busy evening cleaning up and still need tom vac and mop the kitchen tomorrow. DH will do the bathroom tomorrow night as I am away overnight.

Getting the house ready tonight means I have not had chance to do my first run of my 12 week half marathon training plan so will do it in the morning and then Wednesday's in the evening. They are only short so can manage both easily.

Fingers crossed you find another buyer soon xx
