Thanks tryharder 🙂
This morning I’m driving mum and dad to collect her new car, she won’t drive it home and it’s exactly the model as the one she it’s sold just two years newer. I’ve said I will but she needs to drive it a bit as lately I drive everywhere and she has lost confidence, she’s only 71 so it a bit early for that. This doesn’t go down well of course.I’ve decided to do a bit of a bit of a diet for hopefully at least two months, we are away on 30th April for an 8 night cruise and it would be good for my clothes to fit a lot better, I’m a stone heavier than a year ago 😩 no idea what went wrong, but I lost weight after stopping drinking at the end of 2018 without trying and have stayed the same (not my idea weight of when I was 20 but a size 10-12) until now anyway! I also do no walking or exercise anymore.I think I’ll start with aiming for 10k steps a day, usually I do this most days but some are way less. I found a Wii in the garage, I think it might be my son in laws but I’ll see if it works and I can borrow it and buy Wii fit second hand to use.Food wise I’m going to just play it by ear and eat three meals without snacks, at the moment I’m eating probably breakfast then many snacks and no meals 😆MFW 67 - Finally mortgage free! 💙😁3 -

Thank you sc, it’s actually today 😊
Went to see cocaine bear last night, a row of cretins sat behind us taking loudly and swearing 😩 when the feet went up by my face we moved over the other side, never had that before there, we drive to the dear one that’s out of town so there’s less people and idiots supposedly, still at least ds2 refrained from standing up and telling them to be quiet as they are ruining it for everyone as he has done before 😂
I used some colour remover on my hair last night, the colour has been building up and getting darker, it’s worked a little but I might give it one last go, I want to grow my hair longer and have it my natural colour, but maybe with a semi permanent to cover the greys, a bit scary and I would normally go the the hairdresser, but last time that cost hundreds.
Had to take little kitty to the vet this week, tried the new one up the road who were brilliant, she had a watery eye, which turned out to be a tiny scratch and conjunctivitis, so she has drops and is already much improved. Will need to pay for her to be spayed soon, it’s dearer than my old vet which was in a big shop and always busy.I fell like I’ll pay the extra and take her to this new quite one instead, although there is no savings pot for this while we are on the 33 month mortgage challenge, so I’ll need to work that out, luckily she’s and indoor cat so it’s not so urgent.
