Time to Face The Music

Get well soon.

Your savings will soon be topped up again - you're 100% in a different position now. Suspect you're similar to me in that you're looking forward to being credit card free and able to just save up for things you want to buy rather than juggling money around continually. I likely may take advantage of 0% offers in the future but only if fee free and make sense if my money could be working harder elsewhere. 

Lovely weather today, suspect you're in the office but I'm taking advantage of it whilst we can; working in the garden ha. 

Can't wait to be credit card free. Hoping to clear the balance within 12 months of our next balance transfer 😀

Been stuck in the office all day. Just enjoyed a nice walk with the dog though.

Mid week already. This week is flying by.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be from stores today. Breakfast was cereals, we have both taken our packed lunches to work and dinner tonight is chicken with wholegrain and wild rice and vegetables.

Tonight's jobs are:

• walking the dog
• cleaning the kitchen
• nipping to the vets to pick up the dogs worm and flea treatment
• weigh in Wednesday

Will drop the dog on the scales while we are at the vets see what he weighs in. We don't think that he has put on his usual winter padding this year so we will have to watch he doesn't lose too much while we are out and about this summer.

Another two pounds lost this week.

Not sure how because we were not as careful with what we ate and drank last week! 

It's a bank holiday this weekend though so expecting a gain next week.

You're doing well with the weightloss mate.

Getting there. We are both getting towards our target weights now.

On the homeward straight this week. Thursday already.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner are from stores today. Breakfast was toast, we have both taken our packed lunches to work and dinner tonight is jerk pork loin with lime and coriander rice and vegetables.

Tonight's jobs are:

• walking the dog
• load of washing
• vacuuming the house
• cleaning the bathrooms
• packing bags for the weekend
• plugging in the van and turning in the fridge (must not forget this one!!)

This odd "cold" bug is still clinging on. We both have a sore throat and feel like we have a cold with a blocked nose and tight chest, but randomly no snot. Hopefully we can shift it in time for the weekend.

Well done on the weight loss. When you make your mind up to do something you don’t mess about do you 🙂 I’ll be finding out my holiday damage on Saturday 😬

Me too!  Suspect it’s going to be a big one after 2 weeks all inclusive!

It helps that we are both super competitive so we egg each other on 🤣🤣🤣

Friday is here. Almost the long bank holiday weekend. It is within touching distance now!

Breakfast, lunch and dinner are from stores today. Breakfast was cereals, we have both taken our packed lunches to work and dinner tonight is southern fried chicken with chips and coleslaw. Something easy to chuck in the oven after we have had the drive up North and a few beers.

No jobs to do tonight. We are going to get showered at home, give the dog a quick walk and then jump in the van and hit the road. It is all loaded up ready. I just need to pop some food on there before we set off.
