Good morning all
Hope everyone had good weekends.
Figures stay the same for me please Shaggy...I had to go to the shop teatime last night as had run out of something I needed for dinner. Absolutely fatal as a bottle of wine fell into my basket. Should have sent Piglet instead
Really annoyed with myself but going to try and be AF for the rest of the week.

Morning!
Managed 5/5 on last weeks school night challenge but only 1 of the weekend days unfortunately. Had a few drinks with dinner on Saturday. We had the unexpected offer of a babysitter for a few hours so took advantage of it.
This weekend we have guests coming to stay Fri-Mon so will be having a drink with them on Saturday and possibly Sunday too.
Also lost another 6.5lbs this week at Slim Wrld which means I've lost over a stone already!
15/26 AFDs
16/26 TAFDs

We've got three big and beefy plumbers replacing our boiler which is majorly disruptive - they've taken over the kitchen (obviously), the dining room, the yard, the back alley and the sundeck. We're using a bit of money from the sale of a tiny holiday chalet to pay for it, so part of the budget was eating out in the evenings, rather than trying to cook in the chaos. After three nights of fabby food (the best pub food ever) I got the Co-0p meal deal which was all ding cuisine apart from the steaks OH dealt with. Best workmen in the house strategy ever but it wouldn't work for seven months!
They left copper pipe stains on the carpet, CH radiator gunk on the new carpets in the two letting rooms and have yet to finish the boxing around where the new boiler is and where the old boiler was. HOWEVER, we really, really like all three of them, and as long as I keep them charged with buckets of tea and coffee, with packets of biscuits coming out of their ears, they've been a pleasure to have in the house. The lodger has settled for a fan heater and hot water bottle in his freezing cold room with a cheerful attitude and that helps a lot.
OH locks himself away in hid eyrie which means I get to make all of the decisions, and I do work that can be interruppted every 15 minutes and accept that I won't be able to concentrate on anything for a week. The male cat and dog both think they're plumbers mates, and the guys have been great about them. The female cat settles for supervising the lodger's washing up. I kid you not - they're the most sexist animals I've ever come across but they're having a great time.
15/30 please.
I know right! There have been points where I have felt like we were losing more than we were gaining.....nearly at the end now....it's just getting them to finish off....What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.0 -
