Morning all,

Thanks PF, I've only been using the app intermittently, I'd stopped taking my mobile into the bedroom on a night but it did help with sleep so I'll give that a go again tonight, thanks for making me think! and holiday booking is always something to smile about
Dnms, hope your first day back goes quickly
Clf, I think I need to follow your lead and go and done some stretching as I feel like I'm stiffening up after this mornings gym class. Do you do ones from youtube?
Ccl, sorry to hear that things didn't get sorted yesterday, I can't imagine just how frustrating and stressful it must be for you.
Trialing, what a palaver! Wishing you a relaxing day today!
Ditty, its so annoying when you lose a post, I seem to go ages without a problem then seem to lose several in a week.
Brednall, good to see you back on the wagon
Ziggy, glad your dh is feeling better then he was.
HK I bet it'll be nice having your dd home with you
:wave: & :grouphug: to all.

Todays list is a bit of a boring one but keeps me organised
:lovethoug ys bread for ds1s breakfast with eggs as usual!
:lovethoug ds2 to free school breakfast club
:lovethoug gym session done and refilled water bottle there, I'm glad I made the effort as I knew my gym buddy was away and going on my own sets my anxiety off but I worked through it and survived! (albeit a little sore now!)
:lovethoug popped into m&S foodhall, as dh loves their perc coffee, no effect on the bank balance as we have a gift card from them for setting up our current accounts with them a while ago.
:lovethoug cook two chickens at once in the oven, will also prep salad for tonight to go with it
:lovethoug run the washing machine on quick 30 degree wash if there is a full load (I asked the kids to tidy their bedrooms so it could be overflowing now!) not as bad as it could have been! one load on the xpress wash setting 30degree and only 20mins so will see what thats like
:lovethoug run the dishwasher on the quick wash
:lovethoug check banking/update spreadsheet end of month lull, but waiting on dh's expenses to be paid, hopefully tomorrow
:lovethoug make familes lunches for tomorrow
:lovethoug take energy readings and submit
:lovethoug order a new computer monitor from john lewis, will go through dh's work cashback site
:lovethoug water the pots in the garden tonight
:lovethoug listen to my headspace app - thanks PF
:heart2: did a yougov survey, I've not bothered with these for a while but I'm 3/5 of the way to a payout so must get back to it!
:heart2: following on from ^^ checked onepoll and had 3 surveys to do on there and am at £19.20/£25 so must remember to do those too.
:heart2: also get back into swag$s as its another I'd fallen out of doing, not far off a £3 amzn voucher which is better then nothing
:heart2: washing out on the line, looks like the even shorter wash did ok, its warm but cloudy so should get dried
:heart2: checked isay surveys too.... 85/490 points


Thats enough to be getting on with, take care all.

Hi 1LL - yep I like the fitness blender ones on youtube. If you just search "fitness blender stretching" all kinds of them come up.

I especially like the 35 min one where she's wearing jazzy blue leggings and a black top. It's a good full body flow.

Evening all
Didn't get on here to update yesterday as I had a late (for me) cooking session, made a huge mushroom quiche and a slightly smaller sweet peach quiche
Not a particularly MSE day today:
Dog to groomer for a haircut, he can see out now :rotfl:
Shopping in Mr S - mainly things to take away for the weekend, plus some boring regulars such as chick peas. Used a £6 off voucher, and OH found some bargainous beer :rotfl:
Updated spending diary
Renewed camper van insurance

Called in to sales unit and tidied up - my unit is quite small, just a set of floor to ceiling shelves, not very wide, and the space in front of them, so if a large item sells, it leaves a big gap. And people do tend to move things around and just dump them anywhere, so it can get untidy (and unattractive, so people don't tend to stop and look) quite quickly. It literally pays to keep everything tidy and nicely arranged!

Made a batch of yummy fish cakes to use up some leftover potato and sweet potato mash. Also used the end of a pack of smoked salmon trimmings, parsley from the garden, some chopped capers, a small egg and some breadcrumbs
Listed what we need to pack to take away :eek: We are going to a family thing, a small festival that DD1 and her husband do every year for family and friends, and will be there for 4 days. Hmm, festival loos and no EHU :eek:
Very poorly neighbour's dog has gone missing, so better go and help with the search Found the little horror, she had just gone about a hundred yards down the road and invited herself into another neighbour's house :rotfl: OH and neighbour's daughter had set off on a marathon search, so then had to go and find them, to let them know we had got doggie back. Phew!
Hope today went ok at work DNMS
Boo to not having made much progress yesterday CCL - but you will have made some!

PurpleFairy - impressed with the home work out. What do you do?


Bit of a nightmare yesterday.
The day before, my credit card provider had rung me to tell me of suspicious activity on my account - I rang them back from a different phone, to confirm. Had I spent 78p and then £300+ in Vietnam at 3am? Well, no, actually, I hadn't. So - they've had to put a stop on my card and I'll be getting a new one in a couple of days.

In the meantime, the car that we're wanting to sell was booked in for its MOT, with strict instructions to the garage to just do what needs to be done to get it through. Total bill £375 (which was less than I expected, to be fair). Normally I would pay with my credit card, but...
So, no worries thinks I, I'll stick it on the debit card for the joint account that OH and I still have, as we'll be splitting the bill anyway. But of course it's a debit card - won't work on amounts over £300. Never mind I think - there's a cashmachine just round the corner, I'll pay £300 on the card and then the other £75 in cash. Cash machine not working. So I ended up paying the £75 out of my sole account. And now I'm very confused about who owes what. Add in the fact that we used some re-conditioned parts and I need to take the old ones back to the suppliers for a refund, (so OH will be entitled to half of that too), and I think my head might explode. Still, once it's sold we'll divvy up the proceeds, so that'll be nice. And I get my garage back!!
Today should be much more straightforward - doing a guided tour this morning, and a meeting this afternoon!!

I just used an interval app on my phone and did different weighted exercises (weighted squat, bicep curl etc..) with some cheap home weight we bought last year.

I like j0e w1ckes stretching video on YouTube 1luckylady worth a look

Also yoga by adr1enne is great on you tube for stretching/core.

just checking in to see what everyone's been up to and this thread made me smile and brought me some joy. We are a lovely lot, aren't we?

Work was ok, no big deal at all and makes me wonder why it has been such a massive thing!
