    Sounds like a great shopping trip, Valli. May try something similar myself tomorrow (I need a facial scrub and stationery, obviously ;) ), but without the cheese, as we still have lots. Meat would be good, though.

    Well spag bol made and decluttered, washed up again.
    52 week challenge bank found and pennies put in it.
    DD now messing up the bathroom in the name of beauty :rotfl:
    Sandwiches made for work tomorrow
    Work bag out of the cupboard emptied of gibble just about to refill it with stuff I might actually need.

    Piggers I've been trying to keep things friendly for the weans sake but it's just not going to work. It was my deluded way of thinking so I'm just cutting him completely off. Unless I need to speak to him regarding the wean I'm not answering his calls and I'm not letting him back in this house. The full point of me leaving was so that we felt safe and secure and I'm sure as hell he's not taking that from me. Can you tell I've gave myself a talking to? :D

    Not sure if the baked Camembert is in the diet plan. But YUM. Great YS haul today.

    Listed 1 more item. Any tips for photographing clothes when I can’t model them?

    Tomorrow I go back into routine mode. Even though I’m not working I need to keep to a routine or it all goes to hell.

    Well done ladies good work :) I'm sort of getting the hang of this! Diet is none existent as I'm still 'decluttering' the mountain of chocolate the kids got for xmas. Think I'm going to end up doing all the lists a day late as I only really log on in the evenings

    Back to work today. Productive there but not so much at home. Dogs have been idiots and made more mess for me to clean up. They like to protest at me. I’ve managed to get in at nearly 8, deal with the mess they made, make teas then collapse in a heap. I’ll get the washer on before bed. Oh I did the bins. Need to suss which bin is due tomorrow. Might see if a child can help empty DW. Tended to OHs greatuncle, I think his dads been on the phone to him as after ‘I’ll see you tolorrow’ He’s phoned to say he’ll muddle on on his own and have a ready meal to save us the hassle. Well I’m no good at doing as I’m told!

    Large hugs where needed .... I’ll be back later if I don’t nod off on the sofa
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Went to zumba.
    Continued decluttering piles of paper in the lounge; a considerable improvement.
    Continued deleting emails. A way to go, but improving.
    Nearly finished another report.
    Watched an acrobatic rat climb up the bird feeder and get a mixed diet of sunflower hearts, peanuts and fat blocks. Fairly cute really as long as he doesn't come inside and start chewing stuff.
    Put all today's meals on mfp and am 5 calories inside. That includes devouring some of the Xmas goodies.
    Checked bank account and filled in a few invoices/receipts.
    Remember...a layer of dust protects the wood beneath it.
