pottering & reading sounds a perfect day. Belated well done for you & little miss. And a huge well done on the weight loss. I am in awe of you continuing after little blips…. They always permanently derail me and I give up xx

Thank you 😊
Thank you 😊 I'm really pleased with the weightloss, I feel like I'm actually making progress now. I've been derailed many a time, but for some reason this time I'm not giving up. My head's in the right place! Long may it last.

A very productive afternoon organising the books on my kindle 😁
DH has sold another item so that's good. He sold a large bundle yesterday which was great - someone bought several lots. It's not a huge amount of space gained, but a load of items gone!

Hope you've found acceptable dressings for the foot!
Brilliant news on someone buying a bundle, so nice when that happens

I have found some! It is nice when people buy bundles, it's so much easier.

What did you end up getting? I expect it's a rather difficult area to protect, especially when all of us are rubbish at being told to rest but young 'un lads even more so!

A non stick dressing, and then a finger/toe tubular bandage to go over it, with some micropore tape to keep it in place.

A little extra pad this morning from an old ebay balance.
I've prepped a roast using meat from the freezer and veg from the easter deals.
Another relaxing day planned. I've withdrawn some of my PBs to cover last month's overspend. I'll have to focus on putting them back. It wasn't all frivolous, as our NT membership renewed and it included new trainers for me and the kids, but there was also a lot of eating/snacking out and about, entry for swimming and bowling, parking, and general unnecessary spending.
I'm back focussed on the financials again now!
