    Ooh pink sparkling wine, right up my street 😍 

    I’ve just discovered a fabulous website called the busy club and really need one of their planners and stickers 😎

    @Sun_Addict that’s harsh…now everyone will go and look at notebooks and stickers and blame me (I also fell down that rabbit hole 🤣).

    Me too, but I’m lacking motivation….and the chicken and bacon salad with pink Prosecco was delicious! 
    I may have a galaxy caramel bar for supper (whilst resting my coffee on my overhang) and consider being good tomorrow!

    Congratulations on getting rid of the horrible debts :) , I sort of regret going to Uni because now I have this massive debt cloud over me, and the final year tutors left us high and dry for our research projects.

    Uni debts are awful. When I left school it was expected that you would get a job and pay board straight away. People only went to uni if they were very clever and aiming to be a lawyer or a doctor, or if they had a well off family to help them through. I don’t think sending nearly everyone to uni was a good idea. The debts are awful and making degrees the norm means uni leavers are on a lot less pay than they used to be 😣 Dave Ramsey has a lot to say about uni debts (and paying them off) and although it’s American it still translates well. How far do you have to go to get rid of them? I wish you lots of luck to get rid of that nasty cloud 🌧

    Today the 24 cans of American cream soda arrived (£7 from my goto online shop) and a box of galaxy caramel bars we will share this month (along with plenty of last months left overs). Not a spend though as the were bought last week. I did go to Lidl and am now the proud owner of a cheese salad bowl, a chicken and bacon salad bowl, some cans of sparkling wine (2 pink, 2 white), some nice malted bread and various MrWW bits for his shifts. As this is classed as ‘food shopping’ (which I hadn’t), MrWW is sending me the money back…so I can declare today a no spend day (no.4) and still have goodies 😁
    This is living the dream! 🤔 Maybe I should get a BF? 
    Nah!
    Love the wine in cans idea. Why have I not seen this before? It's been said before but you really are a terrible influence WW, but of course that's why we like you so much 😂
    Off to Bath tomorrow to visit friends, the petrol was eye-watering but will just be hanging out when we get there. Have lovely weekends! 🌄
