Did someone mention only 17 days til you are off work?

Houses are hard work when they are all down to you.

As Beanie says , that's all.

I had blood taken and I was weighed today. I have lost over a stone. :j Most of the weight has gone from my middle so it is especially pleasing. That said I am still far too heavy. The next stone off will help me feel and look so much better, so I am even more motivated to get it off.

I am due back to the GP in a fortnight to go through the blood results. I will aim for another few pounds in the next fortnight.

I took my own cup when I went out and had a free coffee from Waitr0se and a 49p coffee (because I had my own cup) in Pr3t :money:

Bargain of the day was a M and Cole mixing bowl reduced from £12 to £1.20 and 2 pudding bowls reduced from £2.50 to 50p each, nice and deep and round and perfect for soup :money:

I am working from home this afternoon. Still not putting on heat until it gets dark but it is cold today! :money:

Hope everyone is okay

Excellent news on the weight loss and the motivation that it's given you to carry on Slow and steady wins the race, and it sounds like you're making some lifestyle changes as opposed to hitting a quick fix diet that will fizzle out after a couple of weeks. Good for you!

Wowza to the bargains too I got some swimming shorts for my son (with his favourite character on) for £3 this morning, which i was pretty pleased about.

I'm not as restrained as you in keeping the heating off - mine has been on and off all day...

Thanks Homegrown. Diets fizzle out for me I want it to be a lifestyle change that focuses on health first

I chose not to sort the house out so it is still a dump. It would have taken my whole day off. Instead I went into town to see if I could find the kettle I had set my heart on.

I spent the majority of the day searching for a kettle that has been discontinued. In the end I found a branch with the kettle in their discontinued stock in a drawer! The good news is it was the last one and I got it at a 50% discount. :money: I now have more counter space. I should be able to reduce my electricity bill now as I boil the kettle multiple times and gas is cheaper. Plus I LOVE the kettle. Very stylish and Japanese

I found the boots I wanted in my size and there was 25% off. :money::D

I bought more undies so I can wash clothes less often and save electricity that way too.

I chased the window quote

A spendy day but very much planned spending. I am exhausted. I find shopping tiring plus the squirrels are disrupting my sleep :mad:

I hope you are all having a good day

That's great news on the kettle, boots and undies :T. All very sensible purchases I think.

The kettle is the thing I am most happy about. A kettle on the stove makes me feel happy
