    NSD No 11 yesterday.
    I was feeling a bit stressed yesterday as well, Mothernerd. Well, maybe not stressed exactly but a bit despondent because I can't see how I am ever going to get this place straight. I shouldn't feel like that because, at least I have a roof over my head and food to eat. It's not really that bad. I'm just being selfish.
    Today's another day and it's another week so on we go.
    Have a good week everyone.
    Have adventures. laugh a lot and always be kind.

    Right, I think I am on 12 NSDs today (18/30)

    Have done all sorts already this morning, including finding out I have mislaid 3lbs.

    Need to prep food so that I get to watch as much football as I can, whilst picking up kids from all over the place at different times.

    We are now the house of MOCK EXAMS!!
    So I am expecting brotherly arguments and frayed nerves (yawn).

    Off to meal plan.

    See you later!

    Hello, banked only one more SFD over the weekend. Somehow I can only stick to so many changes. If the eating, no drinking/smoking, or IF is going well the spending is not and vice versa.

    Today was also a good example or how to focus on the positives. No, 4 little prices of quality street at 10 am DO NOT ruin the rest of the day's efforts and let them slip too. I CAN STILL not smoke, not drink, go to the gym and eat well etc. 3 or 4/5 is still better than 0/5.

    Well, today I was in a much better frame of mind. Last night the Boy spent the first night in his flat and Himself and I slept in till 10.00 am. Not something we are intending to do on a regular basis but it was so nice. The Boy even sent me a text at 11.00 am to ask if I had enjoyed my lie in which, I think, indicates that he appreciates what we have been doing for him (but that's just what you do, isn't it?. He's still coming for dinner here for a few weeks so he can move his possessions (Oh, there are an awful lot of them) in a bit at a time. All going to plan. so far.
    So not a NSD. Bought him a milk and sugar bowl. Not that he knows what to do with them but the lovely wives of two of his friends will appreciate it. I suspect that all his other friends who are not married don't possess such things. The wee one's Mother has just brought in a great Bodum Coffee set (Cafetiere and two cups) which her daughter bought for 95p in Tesco ages ago. She has no idea what to do with it but thought maybe he could use it. He won't have any idea either but I bet the girls will. Just have to buy him some ground coffee.
    One of the wee ones was four today. Such excitement when you're that age! Suspect there's another bit of cake coming my way.
    So all in all not a bad day. Had salad for lunch and having baked potato for dinner.
    Have a nice evening.
    Have adventures. laugh a lot and always be kind.
