Hey everyone
We had a lovely day yesterday, went down to Exmouth on the train with the kids and met up with my bestie and her son. The kids had a whale of a time playing on the beach and loved the train rides too.
At SW last night I lost 3lb and got slimmer of the week :T :T I also found out this morning I've been nominated for woman of the year inmy group which is a huge surprise! I'm 1lb away from 2st loss now and 5lb away from my club 10 award as well. It would be nice to get them both before I go to Orkney.
Been shopping this morning and chilling for the rest of the day now. I got sunburnt on my legs yesterday when I rolled up my trousers and forgot to put suncream on! That was hurting last night, and combined with the heat, meant I had a really rubbish night's sleep so am shattered.
I'm glad it's not so hot today, it's funny to think I'm craving feeling a bit chilled :rotfl:
Glad you all had a lovely day at the seaside :cool::cool: Well done on the weight loss and the nomination - thats great. Good motivation to keep going and get to the other milestones0 -

Today we are off to Plymouth for the day. They've got an elephant trail down there so might try and see a few while we are there.
I did a few listings for DH yesterday and he's sold a fair bit last night so lots of packing ahead. More stuff going!
I need to get my stuff listed that I prepped last week, I think next month is going to be very tight with our trip away so could do with some extra cash.
I'm getting close to cash out on One Poll (still on £40 as I last cashed out the week before they changed it! :mad:) and You Gov, so must complete those surveys as quick as possible to try and get that extra cash in!"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do".

Thank you both"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee0 -
We had a lovely day out in Plymouth, the kids walked miles!
Yesterday was quieter, I managed to get all of mine and DH's listings done, 45 in all :j
I also got all of DH's stuff packed and so he's taken that all today.
Fingers crossed for some sales before we go away!
We walked to nursery this morning, and little jwil had a bit of time in the play park on the way home, so just a bit of pottering about today planned.
2 more days til payday, can't wait!
I've just booked the cat into the cattery while we are away, I'd forgotten to budget for that :eek: I really need to have some quiet times when we are back to try and get my finances back on track
We booked the kids in for the 30 bounces for £30 offer yesterday. That's a bargain as it can be used for both of them (and us) and at least gives us something to do that will be essentially free now for the rest of the holidays."Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do".

Well done on all those listings - hope you get lots of sales0
