That's Monday done yet again
Spent just over £10 in Mr S this lunchtime. Tonight is AFD3, aiming for at least 1 more this week, preferably 2 more. I've got some Becks Blue alcohol free beer which is rather nice, to say I don't like beer normally, and still feels like a treat.
And yes I'm still determined to stick to the budget I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0 -

Tuesday done and dusted
Another AFD and gym at lunchtime. Was aiming for a NSD but had to pick up bread, milk and fruit - less than £5 though.
Made arrangements to meet up with one of my old team for a drink on Friday lunchtime, looking forward to it as I do miss her I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0 -

And here we are at Friday :j
Still on track with the budget
WW leader's husband was 62, not even old enough to have retired - so sad
Met up with old workmate this lunchtime and had a lovely catch up. She wants to meet up once a fortnight which is ok with me
Money for holiday balance went out 12 June off the cc but miraculously missed the cut off point of 13 June and I won't have to settle up until the end of July which means the pressure is off :j Will easily have the money by then - I was expecting to have to pay it off at the end of June. Happy days
But the aim is still to stick to the budget, this hasn't changed, the determination is still there.
Had to go to Leicester yesterday at the last minute (literally had 10 minute's notice) to a workshop so was out most of the day. This meant I missed my planned gym session though and ended up eating lunch in Costa rather than my planned home made soup. Forgot to get a receipt so can't claim the money back.
Mr SA has become completely obsessed with the World Cup and is watching every single game He went mad earlier today because I walked in front of the TV at the moment Iran scored a goal!!!!!
DS and family are coming tomorrow. They've been on holiday this week to Norfolk and had a good time. Going to try for the local park again but rain is forecast. I'm not joking it rains here every bloomin' Saturday. It's unreal!!
Need to get Mr SA a card for Father's Day from the dog - he got me one for Mother's Day
Hope everyone is well xxI get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0 -
