I've realised that I miss my health/wealth/life well-lived ponderings. Thanks for the reminder!

Tuesday night already! Sat waiting on ds1 and pal in football training. I've had a good few days.

Stuck to diet, exercises every day, need to up water intake.
Have some major things almost complete at work - lots of effort in yesterday.
Have booked kids activities for summer, £2 library dinosaur activity, £3 country park fossil activity x2 so £10 in total for the whole summer Ds1 is getting a football camp for birthday from my mum, ds2 a golf one, and the rest of the time I have free things planned.
Need to get on next week printing off colouring sheets for them, they love these!

Looking at ways to reduce foodbill and still be healthy, sandwich thins can go in place of whole meal bread, big tubs of yogurt cheaper than individuals, will come up with more.

Housework uptodate

Haven't been down to the shore yet- so busy! No excuse!

Hope DS settles, I guess it's even hard for us as adults at first when things move around. I'm sure he'll make lots of new friends.

I love your list for the holidays and have stole some ideas to fill in gaps on ours :rotfl:

Lovely to see holiday plans moving forward too

Holidays feel like a real extravagance, feel like I have to work super hard before I can "earn" them.

Quick update:

A lot ticked off my to do list. I think I need to set myself daily tasks and tick them off every day. That way I wil make myself more accountable and put more effort in.

Exercise still going well, eating has been amazing in comparison to how I was, bypassing free donuts and cakes etc in favour of hitting my goals. Goals and accountability work for me!

I've recorded lots of films for the DCs for holidays and am still finalising the minutinae of the holiday activities. This will make things a lot easier. We have a week left of school here, so that will be spent getting ready for actual teaching of students.

So I had a lovely walk with the DCs to the village and along the side of the beach so I am counting it as a beach visit.


To do:
- finish summer checklist
- buy milk and cards 10 for £1
- finish baby book (been on my to do list forever)
- clean out hen hut and rub DE on them
- haven't been able to garden much outside lately, so I have been planting basil, coriander and watering inside plants as my daily gardeing tasks, but I need to get outside now and:
weed veg patch
water veg patch
weed rockery area
plant trees
