Must try harder!

That sundae looks most lush

Mmmmm sundae and I’m afraid it has to cheese and onion crisp butty 😂😂

I can remember when I was at school 200 years ago, the lads used to buy uncut loaves at lunchtime, hollow them out and fill them with crisps - the ultimate crisp sandwich 🤣

Oooh! When I was at school 200 years ago the ultimate dinner was a trip to the chippy. I like the sound of a loaf crisp sandwich 😋
Today we went to a different local beach we haven’t been to before. Really lovely, but I swear I almost died climbing back up the dune to get to the path to the car park. Walking on soft sand is hard work so my muscles were not ready for a climb at the end of it! I was beetroot faced, panting and wobbly at the top 🤭 I’ve managed over 10k steps 3 days running and 4 out of 5 days now. 8 or 9 hours at a desk clearly gets in the way of my step targets 😒. I’m hoping for a lunch out tomorrow as we had a spend free day today.

Well done on all the walking, great to be visiting different beaches too!

Got beach envy here 👍 
I thought you’d been running 3 days - rather than …..3 days running 😂😂😂 
Well done on the exercise….you’ll be running before you know it 😉👍

🤣🤣🤣 @milann if I’d tried running for 3 minutes I would be hospitalised 😅
Today we had lunch and then a trip to the local castle gift shop. The place was heaving! MrWW bought me a raspberry soap (smells delicious), a tiny pack of fizzy cola bottles and a pen….we know how to roll on our holidays 😁 Unfortunately it started to rain so I didn’t get the beach steps I’d hoped for. 

I hope you have all had a good day ☀️

Sounds like you’re having a lovely week off exploring your local area. You’re very lucky to be near some lovely beaches.

Good morning and happy Thursday. I overspent last night by ordering all the pet food for next month as it was in stock and an ok price. Over £200, but I have ‘borrowed’ it from savings and will pay it straight back on pay day. It seemed sensible last night, but then I was stressing about the extra drop in savings. I have compounded a bad month by being extra bad 🙄 It’s all real money, not ‘borrowed’ money, but I worry more about emergencies that haven’t happened when the savings go down 😬🙄. Next month I will do better. 

Today is rather wet and overcast, but we’ll go out a bit later (get my steps up) and have lunch out.
I hope you all have a good day 🌞

Happy Saturday. We didn’t get the sunshine today, it’s been mostly grey and a bit muggy with rain thrown in. We went to the big town and did the food shop in big t*sco and farmf00ds. I stocked up on filled potato skins which I find really good for work lunches. Quite low calories for a couple and very easily microwaved in a hurry. We saved money by bringing the spoils home and making a nice lunch instead of eating out. I had a cheese and diced red onion panini with a few air fried fries 😋. 

I’m sad that tomorrow is my last day off work as I’ve had a lovely week with lots of walking and fresh air. I’m hoping not to spend anything over the minimum until payday in a week and a half. As you know, this month was terrible at the beginning and I will need to recoup my losses next month and be extremely good. I have written up my June budget and (touches wood…smack, smack, smack) should be back on track at the end of next month, barring disasters.
I am still waiting for my dungarees to arrive…the tracking hasn’t moved since the early hours of Monday 😞
I hope you are all having a good weekend 🌞
