Must try harder!

Glad you enjoyed your week off. Have also been in the same shops as you today - shopping twins 🤣

Filled potato skins sound good 

WinterWarrior

They are so good beanie! They are called loaded potato skins and have 2 flavours…cheese and onion and bacon and cheese. 2 skins are about 170 something calories off the top of my head. I do tend to have low calorie mayonnaise to dip the potato in once I’ve eaten the filling bit 😬
Shopping twins SA 🤭 Did you also pop into b-and-emsies? I may have got some mini packs of cookies there…just for emergencies 🤣

Emergencies 

Sun_Addict

No @WinterWarrior we sadly don’t have a BnM nearby 😞 However there’s one near work so I can still get my fix 😆 I tend to go for cleaning stuff rather than edibles.

WinterWarrior

Ours is a good 60 mile round trip so I don’t pass up the chance while I’m anywhere near it 😁 I always look at the cleaning stuff too, but they haven’t had the normal pink stuff spray in the last few times 😞
I need to make the most of my last day before being back at work. I will ask MrWW to check my tyre (as he has a fancy compressor and I only dare use the foot pump 🤭) and then take my car out for a run….I doubt dog will want to jump in. I’ll aim to get some decent steps in as it will be tricky on work days and I’ve been enjoying moving more, although the time it takes away from other things is frustrating. My weight has yo-yo’d around the next pound all week, but we’ve had a few nice meals out so that’s not too bad. I’m hoping it will get back on track next week and I will stick to the calories religiously every day….as mrs Doyle says ‘maybe I like the misery’ 😁
Have a wonderful Sunday 🌟

Enjoy your day

Hi @WinterWarrior, 👋 

It's taken a couple of days and I'm all caught up. Aren't you doing well on the weight loss. Almost made me want to sign up to mfp again 🤣

Enjoyed the Strictly chat you had back in Nov. I get annoyed with the Sunday show. They could just do it all on a Saturday so I cheat and Google who's gone on a Saturday night and free up my Sunday evening. 

Also like the tales of spare cat and glad to hear his has his bits removed. 

It sounds like MrM is similar to MrWW when it comes to being poorly. I'm another one who has zero patience. Luckily he will take tablets etc but drives me mad on a daily basis asking me questions. I'm not Google! I'm also lucky he only has one hobby of football. He is the chairman of a youth league and his u18' team that he's coached since age 11 have just finished their last season. It certainly keeps him busy! 

Bit jealous of your PB wins. I've only had two in a year totalling £75. 

Keep up with the savings you're doing great 👍

Hi @Naomim, strictly seems a long time ago now! I’ve never thought about cheating, but only because MrWW and my mum need to watch and discuss the results…I’m all for peeking at the back page if I get a chance 😁
oh the tablets…sigh! It’s a wonder they don’t rattle 😅 I feel your pain.
The pb’s I add to each month, but I’ve just had one £50 win in December and one £25 this month. I think in total since I started it’s been £150, so not life changing, but more than I’d get in interest in my regular saver, so I’m ok with that. Plus it’s the one place that seems hard to access so I’ve never pulled any back. People with maximum holdings seem to do much better, but I’m definitely a very, very poor relation there. 

In todays news dog made the jump into my car and came for a nice ride around the coast with her window down. She’s sleeping off the fresh air now. The sea was calm in town, but wild and turbulent further up. I expect the surfers were out as the car park was busy there. There were lots of camper vans and cyclists too (and pot holes the moon would be proud of) 😁

Happy Monday everyone ☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️
First day back from leave and everything is imploding - lovely! 

I checked my finances and am going to try and manage to not spend anything between now and pay day. This will reduce my losses from this month and will mean I can have more left for spends next month even with the claw back. I have a full tank of fuel and don’t need anything, it’s just the mindless spending I need to keep a track of. 

This time last year I had decent pots for everything, but this year they are rather empty 😖 so I won’t have any saving capacity in July as that’s the month for my repair, mot and service. I should be able to cover it all, but won’t have anything to save…so June needs to be a good savings month, then back on track in august and also back to filling the pots properly again. When will I learn? 

I will need to get plenty of steps in after work as I only managed 10 minutes at lunch…dog is not best pleased. 

I chased my dungarees….white stuff have raised a request with evr1 😖

I hope you are all having a good day.
