    So..not quite started Dry January yet. That starts on Saturday but have run every day and just spent £22 on the cinema for me and the kids. Took our own drinks and snacks. Other than that some quiet reading and some work. Nice balance. Also started watching Luther :eek:

    Have a good day all x

    Great work on the running Brizzle I've done 3 in the last week. Was hoping to do red January but knew it would be difficult as I can't get out if DH isn't here and that was the case yesterday. Did kettlebells instead. Aim to do some exercise everyday instead. We've got lufer recorded :)

    DD2 will ever travel in the evening on the top floor of the bus again

    I said it at the time...why would you travel alone on the late bus on the top floor !!!!!!! That was before the crawling bit!

    That Hermione Norris is a nasty bit of work nothing like her Cold Feet character!

    Yep we are gripped....and getting through the Christmas chocolate and alcohol whilst we watch:D

    :rotfl:I was shouting exactly the same thing at the TV, that you always sit downstairs near the driver and certainly wouldn't be nodding off.

    Guess I should add Luther to my watch list now :)

    Glad you are having a restful time.

    A good day so far. Sorted some tricky things at work and ran 6k. I am on a roll ladies and gents.. I am trying hard to make exercise a habit...and so far my runs this week are up to 4. I’ll take that.

    About to have another mindful spend with the family, but all expected and to offset it I have booked me and OH into a free movie screening in a fortnight. Should be fun. Haven’t done that for ages. Also done a TT and sorted some YNAB reconciliation to check nothing was slipping through.

    Have a good day all x

    Productive day Brizzle. I've felt rough so haven't run as planned for the last couple of days as I know from history that would be just daft. I am going to do kettlebells though and hope for a run tomorrow. Enjoy your evening.

    P.S. Big Luther fan here as well. Although am I imagining it, but has Hermione Norris has some very weird work done to her face?!:think:
