Onwards and downwards...

Sounds like a good plan to me.

Thank you


Did my new walk this morning, not quite 5K so will have to look at where I can add a bit on.

Paid the childcare bill yesterday, but didn't get a chance to do any listing.

I'm up to date with surveys etc.

Not much else to report really!

Well done on paying the childcare..you've just reminded me..need to pay the tax.

Its hot and muggy to be thinking about exercise so don't beat yourself up x

Thanks Brizzle

Today I completed my first round of couch to 5k :T :T I added some extra on this morning, but still haven't made it to 5k yet.

I shall restart it now next week and see how I get on.

I'm in long meetings today and tomorrow and also next week, which means not a lot of time to get anything done.

I think we are heading up to Brizzle-land at the weekend to do some Gromit spotting

Roll on payday, it seems like a long month!

It's been a while since I last posted. I am missing making payments!

It's been quite hectic. Work has been very busy and we've been out at the weekends, so not much getting done.

We went Gromit spotting last weekend, the kids loved it, and little miss did a lot of walking without needing the pushchair once. It won't be long before we can get rid of that now. Our £25 car boot bargain has lasted for 2 children so well earned it's money.

DH has a week off with little jwil now and apparently has some great plans. He's sorted a lot of stuff to take to a relative, so that will all be gone next week and the kids will enjoy the day out too. He's also taken a car load to the tip including a bookcase which has been empty for months waiting to be dismantled :T :T I've been through all the kids clothes and a load of outgrown stuff has gone and I've got an idea of what they'll be needing for winter now.

INOD inspired me yesterday finally to get my painful toe checked out. I rang the docs to see if I could get an appointment for next week as I won't have to worry about the school run etc, and they said if I could get there in the next 20 mins I could have an appointment then. So I nipped off and I don't have an infection thankfully, but have been given some cream to sort it. So thank you In Need Of Direction, that's been bothering me for a few weeks now :T :T

I've continued with my first new week of couch to 5k. I've done all the runs and it hasn't bothered my knee so far. DH commented that I got round Bristol last week much easier than the last time, so the exercise is obviously helping. :j

I took little jwil swimming yesterday. Who needs a personal trainer when you have a son! He kept saying to me 'Mummy, I want to watch you swim to the other end and back'. I was shattered by the time we came home :rotfl:

I can't wait until payday next week. I was hoping that next month would be easier but I've already had to book some additional childcare to cover yet more meetings at work.

Better update the declutter list in the hope of lots of things been added in the next few weeks
