    Going to take my car in and get them to drop me off at DH's work. I can then borrow his car to do the Mystery shops which are in the same town as where he works. Got 1 on Sunday too so nice little earner.

    Went to BodyPump last night but forgot we were due to go to ASK afterwards. Ended up cooking for neighbour instead which cost next to nothing but was really nice. Ache a bit today but lifted more weights than I usually do.

    Right execise for the brain will I think Brain Training will do that and I read that Tetris is very good for brains so I think I am covered.

    Just been looking at home insurance and I am not inspired really. Renewal is £242.98 which I think is £50 more than last year. Confused.com has homeinsurer.co.uk at £192.18 which is the cheapest by far. I want cover for our golf clubs so that is why it is quite expensive and the excess is £150 and £200 for contents a bit more than what we currently have. Not claimed for many years but you never know. Morethan had a good deal on Quidco with £80 cashback but came nowhere near.

    Working from home today so can do Pilates which is cool.

    Having a very chilled out weekend. Done the food shopping went to both Sainsbury, Asda and the local farmers market to get everything. Cooking a lamb shank I had in the freezer with a load of veg for dinner. Should be nice.

    Asda had some fab rose and white at 3 for £10 so had to have 6 bottles of that of course.

    Got my ring enlarged (got to small on my finger) so I can now look like the respectable married woman I am. Got it polished really nicely looks like new. Cost £10 but worth it.

    Went to Homebase for some soil (needed to top up my potatoes bags) they had 30 pansies for £4 which I think is cheap. Will now brighten up my pot and hanging basket for the winter.

    4 of my 6 Ebay items are selling. I hope DH's driver goes for more than 99p but we shall see it is quite old.

    Lager/wine challenge out the window again as it is Saturday night and I am already at 9 glasses this week. Not too bad and I dont think I shall have anything on Sunday.

    Got a mystery shop tomorrow and a game of golf. Hopefully it does not rain. Need to put the pasta hoops in the soup, take care and enjoy your weekend.

    Morning
    This is the week I shall be away for 3 nights so have a heap of things to do and a lot of packing. Flying to Newcastle on Flybe so can only take 10 kilo so need to get organised. I am going to miss the gym this morning for the same reason.

    I just wanted to update you on my ebay sales I got a total of £65.36 not incl postage. I am pleased with that as it was all stuff that was just lying around. I need to post 3 things and DH is posting the two golf clubs. I feel a bit sorry for him that he only got 99p for his club but they did pay £8 postage which will see him make a bit of money. I shall put some of it towards my holiday fund and I am keeping the £55 I made on the previous golf club I sold last week.

    Mystery shop went fine yesterday just got in before the shop shut so that is £30 this week in Mystery Shops. Will also add that once I get paid.

    Well better get on with it, tons to do.

    Back from my long trip with work. Started off on Monday flying to Newcastle from Southampton to attend a conference. Then down to Leeds to get back to Southampton at 8pm Wedensday evening. Jumped in my car and drove to Plymouth for a meeting the next morning. Left Devon at 6pm last night and got back home at 8.30pm. Must have done at least 72 hour this week and currently I am sitting at DH's office to help him with some excel spreadsheet. Would rather have been at Pilates but he needs to get this sorted. Not going anywhere today but have got a stack of work to do.

    The weekend is taken up with golf both Saturday and Sunday so hope the sun stays out.
