    Off the road. The engine is fine, but a spring has gone, so it’s almost touching the tyre…and does touch it if you turn the wheels. Most annoying. On the plus side I’m getting the pair done again, so springs will not be an issue for another 9 years πŸ˜…

  • Good morning and happy Tuesday β˜•οΈβ˜•οΈβ˜•οΈ
    Pay day today so I have done a small shuffle, but nothing like normal as I’m having to keep back savings for the car repair. I’ve been quoted Β£700 as the top price, so I’ll keep that back and move anything left to pb’s if it turns out not as much is needed. Of course I could win the million tomorrow and then everything would be fine πŸ˜…
    Our timeshare boy cat came flying across the garden for breakfast this morning..it must be our visitation day. He wasn’t there at 7am so I hope he slept at home.Β 
    My Ziffit first set of boxes have been checked and approved overnight, so that should hit my PayPal in 3 days. The second set got collected yesterday. I ordered a few kindles in celebration 😁
    Just work for me today, nothing exciting.
    I hope you all have a great day β˜•οΈπŸŒŸ

    Happy payday!Β  Hope the car bill doesn't turn out to be too expensive.

    Morning and happy March and happy Wednesday 😁
    Most of the dd’s will be gone by Friday, but I can’t add to savings until after the car repair, which is frustrating. I won’t be adding much this month, but what a privilege to not have to use credit for these things.
    My weight stayed the same as yesterday, but some sz 12 sale jeans came yesterday and they fit! I own up that they are soft and stretchy, but even so, no breathing in was necessary to do them up, so that’s a step in the right direction. I was thinking they’d be an incentive, but that backfired a bit…however I’d like to be less β€˜lumpy’ in them 🀭
    I don’t have much else to report, but I’ll log on to pb’s in a bit to see if that million is there 😬
    I hope you have a lovely day 🌟

    Our roads are dreadful here too. Some are so deep you expect flames. I had to replace 2 tyres last year from having to choose to hit the shallowest of 2 strategically placed pot holes with oncoming traffic stopping me swerving into the other lane. If I don’t know the road well enough to know exactly where the holes are then I have to creep along…and most others do too. There’s a fb site dedicated to naming them and reporting costly accidents πŸ˜–
    Staying the same is really frustrating and unexplainable. I went up one week! I have no idea how. All we can do is keep plodding until we get there. I wish you lots of luck for the next weigh in.Β

    Happy Thursday everyone β˜•οΈ
    I put a chicken stew in the slow cooker before work and have given it a stir and added pearl barley (possibly too early, but we shall see). I will add dumplings after work….it’s just a Tesco packet mix, so very easy.
    I logged on to my pb account this morning, but sadly there was no announcement of any winnings 😒
    I had a very nice extra chocolatey milk chocolate round biscuit with lunch (counted of course). They came in an m&s gift bag At Christmas. I am trying to work my way through Christmas things before the dates expire.
    I have just 0.2 of a pound until I get the 9lb badge, so I’m fully expecting to mysteriously go back up tomorrow πŸ™„ This is the way of my dieting…slight excitement and then a smack down πŸ˜…
    I received an email for m&s sale and had a look through while eating lunch…then I gave myself a talking to and closed it down. I do not need anything! What is the point in decluttering and then recluttering? I haven’t even finished the first yet, without filling the house up again!Β 
    I hope you are all having a good day 🌟

    Well done on shutting the M&S sale down. Like you say no point re cluttering when you haven’t finished decluttering. It would be different if you had needed something….it’s so easy to buy on line. πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘
    Hope you get your 9lb badge. I lost it whilst away last weekend and need to get back on track. I know it won’t be a loss just hoping it’s not too big Β again πŸ€ͺ I can’t keep the momentum up.

    Good luck @milann.We all need to keep plodding to our goals while enjoying things too, we’ll get there eventually.Β 
    It’s painful, but crucial to be absolutely sure that I need something, rather than just want something, before ordering. That will help with money saving and decluttering, I just need to train myself better.
