Well done on that lost stone, @WinterWarrior. Step away from sale-price Easter eggs, though. The clue's in the name....they're for Easter. Instead of concentrating on a tempting reduced price sticker, try & visualise standing on the scales & a lb has jumped back on because of continued chocolate eating! They are reduced price stickers masquerading as weight-loss sabateurs.

Well, happy back to work Tuesday…sob ☕️☕️☕️
I’m going to have a harder time getting the steps in, but I’ll make sure it happens.The oil people kindly delivered less than I bought and paid for…upon ringing them they say they ‘ran dry’ and it’s not worth it for them to come back and deliver the remaining 100 litres of my order 😡 So now I’ll get charged for what they delivered and not what I ordered! I really wanted the full order, so I’m not best pleased. Also the marker on my card shows the full amount, so I need to make sure the actual amount that comes out is £70 less. What a pain! They said they’d still charge me at the 500 litre rate, like they were doing me a favour..grrr. So that’s kind of money saving…apart from I put it on my cc for safety and pay it straight off, so I’ll end up with credit sitting there until I can use it for something else.What a palaver!
Anyhow, that’s it for me apart from work and another 0.2 drop on the scales.
Hotel C have lots in their sale, surprisingly! Maybe stock from shops as they weren’t in the full price bit yesterday….anyhow, I am resisting….I have loads of chocolate!
I hope you all have a great day 🌟Not all who wander are lost - J.R.R.Tolkien

Well done for resisting chocolate buying and for a little more loss. Could you just do the grocery shop on your card and swap the money around?2

Happy Wednesday ☕️
it’s very muddy again so I’ll be sliding around the garden at lunchtime trying to get my steps in 🙄
@CRANKY40 I don’t know the pin for my cc as I only use it on line for the protection that gives and then pay straight off. I think a pin could be dangerous 🤭 However, it is linked to prime so the extra will be gone in a flash. I’m just waiting for it to come in properly on banking so I can check it’s what I’m expecting and make a call to the oil people if I think it’s not right. I’m not trusting them right now!This morning my weight went up 😖 The scales are just plain mean 😪 Hopefully tomorrow they will sort themselves out, or there’ll be a tantrum 😁
MrWW has finally agreed we need to call a plumber in to fix the bath. He’s been insisting he can fix the leak for ages, maybe a year, but finally had a look and admitted defeat. I wish I’d just called one in straight away when I wanted to …that will teach me 😁

Well done on the stone WW and well done Beanie on 2 stone. I’m hoping fingers, toes and everything else crossed but I’m not holding my breath. I enjoyed my food at dds and some Easter chocolates but didn’t go mad.Hope the oil money goes back quickly for you.The weather has been awful- it’s absolutely freezing, like the depths of winter again. It think it seems worse as they promised such lovely weather over Easter and it just didn’t happen.January spends - £587.583

It is so muddy! I was sliding about in the garden, so I think I may have to walk the streets 🤭 I wish we had some ducks ♥️ It’s so chilly here that I put my gloves back on when I was out with dog.I can’t wait for the weekend…or even just for my tea…this day is never ending 😬Not all who wander are lost - J.R.R.Tolkien
