Well done on going back to the gym. I haven't done any walks yet this week but things have been a bit hectic.

Morning Diary,
After a hectic day and evening yesterday we made it to half term :j. DD2 has just annoyed me by announcing that she hates weekends as we never do anything :mad:. Promptly reminded her that we had the school disco and dancing last night, she's at football with grandad this afternoon and then she's got her first competition of the year tomorrow. It really infuriates me when she comes out with the statements like this, especially when not only is it a drain on the bank account but my time aswell. Ive sent her to a room with the threat that any more of these mindless comments and she won't be competing in the next competition we haven't paid for.
Struggling for no spend days this week. Had no 2 on Monday and haven't had one since. Today I need to buy a card for DD1s friend as she's going to a birthday sleep over there tonight. Tomorrow will be minimal spends on a cup of tea or something but spends all the same. I will take as much as I can packed up to save on spends. Another mum is driving which means my car will sit on the driveway saving petrol... downside is I'm driving next weekend and its further away :cool:.
Food:
Breakfast - weetabix and a slice of toast
Lunch - scrambled egg on toast
Tea - hm chinese chicken curry with fried rice and prawn crackers
Positives:
* its the weekend and week off
* small spends today
* earned 20p on a survey :money:
Think thats about all from me. Hope all ok xxMummytogirls x0 -
Fish and chips? Chocolate? Looks like I missed out lol
Kids eh MTG.

Have a great half term mummy. Give your DD a couple of years and she will be like my 2 teenagers, getting them out of bed at the weekend is a nightmare and they are overjoyed if I say we are not going anywhere and can stay in PJ's.0
