Thanks you two lovely things but I feel anything but organised tonight I'm literally chasing my tail:eek:

In my experience Tuesday's are often like that. One mad rush without the enthusiasm of a Monday or The adrenaline of a friday. Tuesdays
Are the worst days.

A very quick one from me tonight as I'm in need of my bed!

Work has been good although we had a moderator turn up which is always a bit :eek:. We are half way there now tbough:D

Ds had a good day and in an attempt to get some balance he agreed to two hours revision after school if he could indulge in some sport. It meant for a busy (read frantic) turnaround this evening but we managed and he enjoyed it.

Today's successes included;

Laundry line dried, folded and away

Walk with my work pal at lunchtime

Drank enough water

Spin class done

Lo for lunch and hm gammon quiche, wedges and coleslaw for dinner

Lunches ready for tomorrow

Watched ds doing rather well in his current favourite sport

A nsd

Happy Tuesday:)

Hello :wave:

Today has been a less hectic day:p. A few niggles at work but nothing to get excited about and things are reasonably calm at home although ds looks tired and worried. I hate seeing him under such pressure, he seems so young

Today's successes have been a little limited but did include;

Drank enough water

Lo for lunch and gammon (lo) and mushroom risotto and salad for dinner

Whites wash done and on the line and a darks wash is in

Got my free Shopmium granola and milkybar

Small grocery spend of £3.48 on 8 pints of milk and a pile of 10p ys bread, breakfast stuff, ciabatta rolls and panini. Should do a good few weeks breakfasts, lunches and picnics:money:

Lunches ready for tomorrow

Did a 77p tt

Off to watch an episode of Innocent before bed.

Happy Hump day :)

Caught up on your diary today PP and your achievements to date are so impressive!

Will (hopefully) be embarking on my own MFW journey soon and it is so inspiring to read everyone's stories. Best of luck with everything.

8 pints is a lot of milk. Will you drink it all or freeze some?

You sound really calm about everything that's going on, PP - I'm glad it seems to be working. Shame about DS - but you just *know* he thinks of himself as nearly adult, I bet (I remember very clearly thinking I was almost grown up when I was ten, because I was in double figures )

Welcome to mfw . It's a lovely supportive place to start your journey.

Good luck with your future plans

Hiya Karma :wave: He seems better today so I hope it continues but 4 weeks of exams feels like a lot bless him xx

Evening :wave:

Sats are done :j which is a relief for the kids and the adults

Today has been a good day. The weather is lovely and work is going well. I've got a fairly hefty list of things to complete before the end of term but it I keep at it I should get there.

DS seems better for some extra sleep and looks less stressed too so that's good. DD is on really good form and has hoovered the house and mopped the floors tonight which was lovely to come home to
She's off for a weekend away with friends and ds is with his dad so I'm aiming for a weekend of indulging me

Today's mfw and well being successes included;

A spend of £1.51 on M's wonky veg and a massive on offer pineapple and a 7p bag of onions which had one mushy one but the rest were perfect:). The didn't have wonky avocados or grapes though which was a shame.

Getting my free chicken sausages from Shopmium :money:

drinking enough water

Doing a spin class and showering at the gym

A walk with my work buddy at lunchtime

Meal plan and shopping list ready for a small food shop tomorrow

Laundry line dried, folded and put away

Ironing done

Lo for lunch and cheats healthy carbonara (using the last of the lo gammon) for dinner

Tomorrow's lunches ready


Off to watch another episode of Innocent before bed.

Happy nearly Friday :)

Woo hoo to the end of the sata, I'm assuming a calmer day tomorrow and the. A huge focus on those dreaded writing assessment s for the next few weeks??

I hop you have a lovely, indulgent, feudal weekend.

Wish.

Ooh PP, what a lovely list! :j I've quite got out of the habit of making them, forgetting what little things I'm doing all the time out of habit and feeling like I'm not doing *anything* because I'm not doing the big things... I shall go and make a list too, thank you
