    Don't tell me that Joey Jimbles - football/rugby/cricket :eek: I can tolerate rugby at a push, cricket is the worst of the three. Mr SA also likes Wimbledon....

    I've never been interested in watching sport :(

    Gym at lunchtime today. Spent £11 in Lidl. Still on track to have a surplus at the end of the week.

    Happy Friday folks :)

    I like Wimbledon - though find it hard to watch if the sun's shining as I'd rather sit outside and read a book. We have to appreciate this gorgeous weather whenever we get it - especially up here.

    Rugby is already being watched in the other room as I type btw.

    No WW class this morning as the leader woke up to find her husband dead in bed this morning :( What an awful shock for her. Really brings it home that life is so precious.

    Will be doing finances tomorrow and hope to report that there'll be at least £20 left over this week to add to the holiday fund.

    Not sure how old he was Lucky my guess is early 60s. However, we had someone at work who just died overnight aged 29 - Sudden Adult Death Syndrome, it was awful :( I really feel for her she must be devastated to say the least.

    Today has been spent cleaning the house - OMG noticed the cobwebs in the lounge today in the sun :eek: All gone now.

    All spends today have been cash, not spent much just fresh fruit, veg and loo rolls. Still under budget - no one has suffered and Mr SA got his England sweatshirt. Need to keep up the momentum :)
