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.

Thank you there's so many to choose from :rotfl: x

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.

I don't really like cleaning windows but felt so embarassed at the grime. It's done now anyway and it will be ages before it needs doing again .

We watched John Wick in the end, DS2's choice, (although only DS3 hadn't already seen it) but they seemed to enjoy it .

Your step count puts me to shame. I must try and improve. I'm thinking about a fit bit too, but I've been so spendy recently I can't justify it.

Keanu is gorgeous, drool .

I love my Fitbit, it 's money well spent for me because I wear it all day every day. I wouldn't have bought myself one, mind you, because they are expensive. Maybe for your next birthday? Or use survey money to treat yourself?

DH and I have decided to use our survey money to buy ourselves clothes, unless we're really strapped for cash. I love buying clothes .

Well I've had a slightly dull day . Sat in front of the computer most of the day and not left the house, mind you it's been raining all day so may be just as well .

But I did a PA survey and two YG surveys and I put a wash on :T.

I also wrote a letter to my niece to explain why we couldn't come to her wedding in Scotland . My parents reckon it will cost them £1000 to go and there's only two of them :eek:. I hope she isn't too offended . It's not near an airport so it's a 12 hour drive, which mean mean a stopover, or fly and hire a car. Either option is not cheap when there's five of us .

DH collected a prescription for DS1 and posted my letter (second class of course :money:).

Apart from that we just worked.

I hope everyone has had a good Monday .

I wear my Fitbit like a watch. It does encourage me to move around more .

I've got the Charge 2 and bought a gold leather strap from Amazon so it looks just like a watch now. I use it as a silent alarm to wake me up in the morning too.

Good luck with your grocery budget, I'm trying hard to cut mine down too.

HairyHandofDartmoor

Thanks SA I need all the help I can get with the grocery budget .

Can anyone recommend a good place to sell a suede jacket by the way? I've got one that I've had for about ten years and only worn it once, so I'd like to sell it. Would ebay be best or Facebook Marketplace for selling it? and how much should I ask?

I did my daily walk today so that's 5,503 steps, 21 floors and 29 active minutes so far :j.:j:j It always does wonders for my mood and how well I sleep too. The park was lovely this morning with the sun making rainbows in the puddles .

Today I'll be sat in the office in front of a computer all day again, but it's a bit gloomy and showery again so maybe it's just as well .

Just boring work today. DH has to drop DS1 at the doctor and will get milk on the way back, so it will be a low spend day rather than a NSD.

At least working keeps me away from the shops .

Have a good Tuesday everyone .
