Morning all, so a nice long weekend to look forward to Ds is at scout camp until tomorrow afternoon, so I am having a chilling time, housework and bits and pieces this morning followed by an afternoon of footie.

Today is also day one of getting back on track with my weight - I have put on 1.5 stone over the last 2 years (I lost 2 just before that). So, as I am down to literally 5 or 6 items of clothing that still fit me, enough is enough and it's time to get back to it. I will be reading up lots on the myfitnesspal forum later on to get me motivated again. I am going to do it in stages this time, not rushing, and the first goal is for week one - I aim to stick to my calorie target every day and do my 10,000 steps every day

The washing is all done but ds will bring back a new pile tomorrow from camp

Bournemouth got another 3 points today, all but guaranteed safety now, in fact we've even moved into the top half of the table again :T

I have got 700 steps to go to make today's target, just got back from taking the dog round the block a couple of times. I'm going to potter and get some housework bits done tonight and may get the banking stuff done too. I've cleared some surveys but there are more to do tomorrow.

The food shopping is ordered and being delivered tomorrow afternoon. I'll update the list later on tonight.

We went to the forest instead and seemed to time it right as it started raining on our way back. 7,500 steps done, some pottering this afternoon should see me hit the 10,000 later

Tesco's have been, only one substitution and it's all been put away. Some housework done, money moved around for the start of the month and signature updated.

I will peel the potatoes etc for dinner in a bit, first I'm having ten minutes on the sofa Ds needs picking up in about an hour and a half, I'll make sure the hot water is on as it is chucking it down with rain and he'll be soaked

So, just over a month from moving in day and this feels totally like home. I want to start thinking about some longer term plans, nothing major, but things like decorating and the costs needed for that.

I had a cheeky £5 bet today, I needed Chelsea and Spurs both to win, anyway that's another £17 chucked in the overpayments pot :beer:

Glad you won your bet - not glad that Spurs won!
