Let's get this sorted then!

I absolutely love your diary!

This made me lol 😂

I'm also eating far too many carbs for someone who will be in a bikini in public in a few days time but I don't really care. I'm just trying to survive the week.

Once the car has been cleaned could you put blankets or covers over everything so the dogs has is not going all over the car? That way you would need to dehair (surely that is a word 😃) the car less often.

@FootyFanDan reading your reply as I tuck into mac n cheese 😂 it's one of the few coping strategies I have left so I'm keeping it. I think sometimes I just let off steam in here and there's no filter between what's in my head and what I type! I'm glad it entertains people though, and I like not having to present a perfect version of life 😊

Oh @Baileys_Babe I have two purpose made covers that clip on to the headrests and tuck in between the back and the seat and are long enough to cover the whole seat. I have 2 so that I can always have one on while one is in the wash. I also have a white German shepherd and a fawn greyhound who's hairs seem to find different ways to attach to upholstery and carpet 😂

The poor man just spent over 3hours cleaning the inside of my car. And then only charged me £70 coz that's what he quoted before he saw it. He did have one of those brilliant bog brush on a drill things though and showed me which one to buy on tinternet.

Not very mse but I'm going to have to pay him a bit extra. There were 2 of them so £70 probably works out as less than minimum wage 🤦🏻

Oh I totally agree, I think your diary is just very authentic. It showcases the ups and downs of the journey perfectly, as well as the humour elements. I think sometimes it is so easy to present that everything is smooth and it rarely is. I also think that it shows you can still make excellent progress whilst also riding a curve of good days and bad. You are doing amazing.

All the Carbs before Marbs, going on holiday is meant to be a relaxing treat, not a reason to stress yourself for the patriarchy for months beforehand 🍻

I’m sorry to hear that work is taking its toll. I can relate to the ‘it’s making me feel ancient’ effect for sure. I’ve also just drowned my sorrows in a bowl of mac n cheese 😂

I agree with the others that your honesty humour shines through your diary.

You know I just paid to have my car valeted for the first time ever? And how it took 3 hours????

My dog just spewed in it.

I've poured myself an alcoholic beverage.

For me it's treating myself to some nice sushi. I'm a sucker for good sushi.

My friend suggested they might be allergic to a clean car 😂
