I haven't watched Bridgerton but the HT has. His verdict was "There's an awful lot of s h @ * ging in it mum".
I'd have bought the cat food too. £20 is a good saving.Follow here for the daily life of an ADHD mum with 2 children and a new mortgage to pay

It's picnic weather - Frank and his friends will be busy. The seagulls here wait outside the HT's old school in term time and steal lunches off the kids.2

Happy Wednesday 🌸🌺 it’s still warm, but not heatwavey or sunny in the far north! I hope you are all surviving out there.
Well I was bad and spendy yesterday! I think it’s the dieting, it’s seriously like I can only work on one thing at once. My head says ‘you can either be slim or be rich WW, make your choice!’ 😢 So I didn’t cheat food wise and then bought some stuff I don’t really need (I need, but don’t need, need). Some new wine glasses and some lovely little oblong patterned side dishes (that I think will work perfectly as soap dishes as I haven’t been able to find any nice ones anywhere) are winging their way to me now.So now I have (coughs shiftily) minus £3 to pay day if I don’t raid….wish me luck!I really must, must get a grip in August! By Christmas I hope I will look back at these blips and laugh 😏
Have a wonderful Wednesday, it’s all downhill to the weekend now ⭐️Not all who wander are lost - J.R.R.Tolkien

Happy Wednesday ☺️ I honestly think that budgeting and dieting go hand in hand. I find if I go off the rails with one the other follows suit. I guess it’s all about discipline. Stay strong 💪I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)2
