A fresh start on the long and bumpy road.

Oops, council tax reminder arrived this morning. Will sort that in a minute! Need to see what DH spent this morning too, I've spotted beer in the fridge and chocolate oranges for the children in the pantry so know its about £10 at least.

Quiet day yesterday, I did get loads of washing out as knew it was the last dry day for a while. Also dug a path to the girls wardrobes so I can sort what actually fits before we go away.

Struggled to sleep again last night and DH didn't wake me when he came in this morning. I woke up at 11.10 and now feel like I've lost half the day.

Need to do tomorrow's online shop but other than that I have absolutely no plans for today. I really should sort through the children's clothes though, we go away 3 weeks today and at the moment the weather looks absolutely rubbish.

After the scales not moving this morning and feeling a bit rubbish as I thought they would after a mid week check, I gave in to DH and ordered a takeaway. The panini was lovely but now I feel awful and fat!
£37 spent but other than DD2, that has throw a huge paddy and refusing to eat, they all cleared their plates (I usually regret it as throw so much away).
I've been that lazy today my watch says I didn't even wake up until gone 2! I was looking at my deep sleep though, I don't manage more than 15mins a night, was 3 mins last night, I know they're not accurate but could explain why I always feel rubbish. 

I've done the shop for tomorrow but will go through it again, I don't think I've ordered anything different but it's so much more than normal.

I wouldn't be surprised if the bank blocks my card after today 🤣
£292 spent on car insurance 
£300 spent on a new trampoline 
£267 on council tax and direct debit finally set up.
We have been trying to get a trampoline since last Aug when the mat went on ours again. As it is mainly for DS (fantastic for his low muscle tone and his exercise) we've been looking for a higher weight limit one. We could only find them at £7/800 but spotted one in a big toy store the other day with only 1 in stock so sent DH on his way. DS currently bouncing around on the garden in his PJs.

Still need to pay my credit card off and been looking at breakdown cover. We've always had it with the insurance but thought I'd look at it separately instead. Can't believe how expensive it is now. Will look at those tomorrow before the bank thinks there's to much activity. 

Nothing else done. Had a long phonecard with my auntie,  then with DH (he's taken DD2 to gym and just sits outside for almost 3 hours) and then another long call with DD1.

DH will be back soon so going to put him some chips in and they can have pasty and chips, I'll have soup or something.
