Have a lovely pottering and relaxing day HHOD. What is this talk of sun? All we have is cloud!
Boooo to the gain, if I have naughty food before weigh in I always put on or STS if I've been extremely good. Try upping your water/squash in take as that will help too xxMummytogirls x0 -

This is what I'm supposed to be like! I don't think it sounds like me at all and I should be married to a Libra not a Cancer :rotfl:. I am energetic and I can be impatient, but I don't think I'm vain or egoistic :eek:.
- Aries Traits: Enterprising, Incisive, Spontaneous, Daring, Active, Courageous and Energetic, the Aries are the proverbial infants, guileless and optimistic to the fault. However, they also are impatient, impetuous, vain, proud and egoistic -Finally Debt Free After 34 Years, But Still Need to Live Frugally

Well the windows are washed :T. I got the cobwebs off with a broom, then used a floor mop and a bucket of soapy water, followed by a squeegy and some dry cloths. It looks a lot cleaner and brighter :T.
Now I need to rest for a bit before I put a wash on and clean the bath and sink.Finally Debt Free After 34 Years, But Still Need to Live Frugally

I've been planning my food shop for Wednesday to try and make sure I don't overspend. I've checked what we have plenty of and what we're running out of, gone through old receipts, made a list and priced it up on the Mr T website.
So far it comes to £66.45 which is much less than I normally spend :T. What have I forgotten? :huh: Well if I can stick to my list it will be a good underspend because my normal target is £74 and I've been going well over that for the past few weeks :T.Finally Debt Free After 34 Years, But Still Need to Live Frugally

I know, I've got to be disciplined and stick to my list Wannabe

I have a Fitbit Charge 2. It's the first one I've had but I love it. I like the fact that it tells me the time as I don't have a watch. My favourite features are the step counter, the stairs counter and the fact that I can track how well I sleep. DH got it from Argos.

Don’t think I’m compatible with any sign , the one I would like to be compatible with is a Pisces , I am a Sagittarius.
You have been lucky to see the sun today , it’s been plain cloudy here all day.
Hope you stay in budget with the shopping Hairy. Cleaning windows is my most hated job and I only have four ! Luckily we have a window cleaner for the outside.This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0
