Reality hit hard ......now i'm hitting back

Glad everything is ok with you. We are ticking along, slight delay in house sale 🙄 and hemorrhaging cash. Kids are bloody expensive, they keep growing!

morning all! 
I don't know if its the time of year, the whole virus situation or that fact that I am just pootling along with the finances but its been hard to summon the enthusiasm to put an update on here, mainly as there is no update. Everything is normal, just waiting for payday to pay more debt off on the financial front. 
weight wise after a bad 2 weeks im back on track and have lost 2 of the 6 lbs I put on, seriously bad couple of weeks where I mainly ate carbs and biscuits oops!
Otherwise I don't really have anything to report, walking about 4-5 miles a day to make up for the fact that im no longer doing the horse, working and did think my hallway was being painted yesterday but the chap didn't turn up so im now thinking I had the date wrong and its tomorrow......soon find out tomorrow haha. 
hope everyone is well, will be trying to read some diaries today.

I know how you are feeling regarding updates. Our sale has stalled for a couple of reasons and while it should get back on track, it's just so frustrating and I am trying not to dwell on it.

Know what you mean by trying not to dwell on it, I think that's the problem when I try to update all the time but theres nothing exciting to report it makes it feel a bit meh.

Morning MSE land. 
Not much to report sorry, pay day this week though so will see some movement next week. 
After being let down by the painter I arranged to do my stairway (when I got hold of him he said he had tested positive for the virus but had been better the last few days....so why hadn't he rung me to say he couldn't do the work on the day that was arranged which was 3 days prior to my call!?) I decided to see if I could do it myself with an extension pole, turns out I could! So have saved myself over £100 which is good  
Had a long weekend off work and went for a couple of walks with my friend, a few walks on my own and had a lazy day on Sunday so very enjoyable all in all. 
We are back in full lockdown from Friday evening but cant see that other than not seeing my friend it will make much difference to me, its autumn and I've already started hibernating behaviours hahah.
Hope you are all good, will be catching up on what I've missed this morning,

Well done you for doing the painting and saving money!  Can't believe the clocks change this weekend, really wish they'd leave them alone

@lucielle I know, it only occurred to me yesterday that the clocks change! That's going to narrow my walking choices in the evenings, and I'm already wanting to sleep as soon as it gets dark

Morning all!
Very quick check in as been a bit busy this week. 
All is well though, pay day had come and gone, just waiting on a few more payments to come out and then all stuff is covered. Decorated my living room on the weekend so I now only have two more rooms to paint and then I have over hauled the whole house plus half of my garden this year  
Will try and find time to catch up on everyone at some point this week.
hope everyone is good
