    Had half a pizza for tea & saved the rest for tomorrow. My weight has been up and down between 11st 5 and 11 st 3. I’m back down to 11st 3 at the moment & would like to get below 11st. Must stop buying Icecream ☺️

    Yum, don't worry. I am refusing to weigh myself. I don't even know where I put the scale. I haven't seen it for 4 months.

    Haha SW I can just imagine you hiding the scales. Nope don’t know where they are 😇

    Its pouring with rain here.  Hopefully it will clear the air it’s been very muggy. Just about to get up but feel tired this morning. 

    Breakfast will be egg on toast. Have a good day everyone 😊

    Mine are in the bathroom, I've not got the confidence to get on them, I'm eating properly at home compared to when I'm at work.

    The changing weather doesn't help with tiredness levels.

    Have a lovely day.

    I think you are right about the weather MF. It’s cloudy & cool here. No more rain since this morning but we have had a few rumbles of thunder. 
    Food today 
    breakfast egg on toast, banana 
    lunch - leftover pizza 
    dinner - gammon & cauli cheese 

    I took the dog across the road to the park after work & took some glass jars & bottles with me & dropped them in the glass bank next to the park. Bin day tomorrow so I will sort the rubbish & recycling a bit later but apart from that have had my foot up resting ☺️

    A productive, but not tackling too much day with yummy food and rest, what more could you ask for!

    We had torrential rain morning and afternoon. It has saved me from the watering hurrah for time saved.

    Went to post on the Arms & MSE have in their wisdom closed it down ! I will miss the lighthearted threads like “I see faces”, “funny things you see on Facebook etc” & “lolcats / loldogs” 😔 At least we are all still here 🤗

    Had a text from british gas today to provide my meter readings. Took photos of the meters & posted online. Hopefully gas & electric switch will go through soon & cashback will follow in a few months.

    The Arms was popular. I wonder why it was closed? Where will the posters go? I hope our area is ok. We are quiet but I think we follow the spirit of MSE. Well done on switching, the cashback will be useful. .

    A few sections have been closed to free the team up due to assisting with Covid questions etc. The debate house one was closed and the content has just been posted on house buying instead 😬 feel for people trying to ask questions 😔
    Arms have moved to old style, quite a chatty lot they are 😁 should all open back up when the new normal appears.
