    Now that would tempt fate SSG. I've had so many bad things happen over the past 18 years that I get suspicious when something nice happens.

    Amazing weather here today - loving it :)

    Back to WW this morning and miraculously have only put half a pound on! Still half a pound under goal. This is a miracle after pizza, wine, sangria and mojitos. Still shocked. However, need to be focused this coming week or it might catch up with me.

    So far this year I've got back to my goal weight and got my promotion. Next on the list is the budget and savings. I think I might be £200 a month better off when I get my new salary rather than the £100 I thought (used the MSE calculator then took some off for pension payments). Of course I won't let on to Mr SA or he'll compile a pester list. It will probably be July before I see the difference properly.

    Today has been all about doing the garden and we're getting there slowly. It's looking loads better already, still along way to go though.

    Hope the sun has been shining for everyone today :)

    Boo Beanie :( It's been hot and sunny since 5am here. Sun's still shining now. Weird how we're such a small island but the weather differs so much.

    Managed to get Mr SA to jet wash the patio and it looks much better. It hurt his back though and he slept for the best part of the afternoon. Early evening he was talking about going back to roofing. Sigh!!

    Gorgeous weather here too!

    Hope you've got not too much planned so that you can sit on your newly cleaned patio and enjoy the sun. Very wise to not let on to Mr SA about the extra money. And :eek: to going back to roofing!!
