    Talking about naps, one of my New Years resolutions (in fact me only one) was to snooze more. I'm currently failing in this regard as at best i think i've had one snooze in 2018.

    Reckon i managed a paltry 10mins snooze! DS2 wouldn't leave me alone.

    Fingers crossed they!!!8217;ll lend you enough this time Michelle. He is a lot better thank you, eaten well and temp 37.5 when I!!!8217;ve checked. I let him fall asleep downstairs though and carried him to bed as he was worried about the noises he was making when he!!!8217;s breathing. He!!!8217;s pretty self aware and was obviously worried. Fingers crossed he!!!8217;ll be back to normal soon.

    Cat naps don!!!8217;t count Jimmy!

    I think the apostrophe is a windows issue. Also think that karmacat has a page of entries about it, along with a solution.

    I had a look Apple but think I might need to go back a few more pages. Thank you for that.

    He's not needed any days off school thankfully, temp fine now but still coughing. He didn't go to his swimming lesson after school though. DH has started with a really sore throat now and didn't look well this evening. £2.99 on str3psils on the way home will hopefully keep him from having a sick day!

    We have £14.81 to last us 7 days. :eek: DH reassured me it was achievable but then mentioned his petrol light came on today! I personally don't see it lasting. :eek:

    50p on y0ugov so up to £42 on there now. Workout done after work (endorphins needed after a stressful day) and mfp has kept me on track today although I did have some interesting combinations of food to try and hit my macros. Have drunk at least 3 litres of water and hit my 10k steps. Not a great deal of reading happening but I can't do it all :D

    He was an irresponsible grown up Jimmy and put half a tank on the cc! I used to put £5 a week in my first micra, petrol was 79.9p a litre then.

    Everyday food spends currently going on cc to keep current account in credit, £12 left in there. We are not too far off payday so not too worried.

    It is our wedding anniversary today and we kept it cheap! No cards exchanged (dh refused to do this on Valentine!!!8217;s Day) and I got him a ticket to a local event he wanted to go to so he is really pleased with that and only £15 spent.

    Will try and mostly eat from the freezer this week. Need to get some steak out for dinner tomorrow and there is plenty of other stuff in there. Will just need a top up shop of fruit and fridge items.

    10k steps hit each day and finding it easier each time. Just need to make more of an effort to get up earlier to get plenty done before work (5k would be ideal).
