  • Morning,

    Monday :( but on the upside it's pay day :j

    Not quite August but starting my goals from today, I'm determined that this month will end on a high :)

    DS got his new bed yesterday, initially complained he couldn't sleep and spent all night tossing and turning, I can hear him through the wall. He'll be fine after a couple of days, it's just because it's new.

    Lunch made for work today.

    Back to my £10 allowance, aiming for some NSD's this week.

    Non-alcohol wine bought, going to work my way through those, I've aimed for 10 AFD's as I'm holiday at the end of the month, I thought I'd go easy and anything extra is a bonus.

    Dinner has been made for tonight.

    Three weeks until I'm holiday, can't come soon enough!

    Back later x

    I can recommend the Hairy Bikers Mulligatawny soup, made a few times now:)
  • August goals - thanks for reminding me! I need to get those down on paper before another months slips by with little being accomplished.

    I can't remember if you already said - are you going somewhere nice for a holiday?

    You have just reminded me about getting the August goals down on paper too.

    Hope DS gets used to his bed soon.

    No, DD has her Guide camp weekend in between the two weeks. So we are just going to stay at home. Contemplating visiting the parents next year, even if its only for a few days.
