    Here here! I feel horrible as well.. since the wedding and honeymoon we've been so bad, just eating whatever we want and not really trying to be healthy at all. I feel gross for it - getting back on the wagon this week. Will be walking the dog more and taking him on longer walks for a start, and I want to start doing my dvds again in the mornings before work, trouble is I find it soo hard to get motivated in the mornings.

    I know the feeling.... Mornings I just find it hard enough to wake up lol.... Couldn't do a DVD too!

    I don't eat as much at home so I'm glad I'm off this week.... Pull it back a bit.

    OHs mum got made redundant a few weeks ago and bless her, she's given all of us £250 each..... I tried to get her to take it back but she says I have to treat myself! Unfortunately my car needs a new tyre and I could do with some new bras so it has helped no end xx

    Same here.. the thought of getting up earlier and doing exercise is horrendous but I know I'll feel loads better for it. The mornings are the only time I can really fit it in as by the time I've got home after work, walked the dog, made dinner, washed up etc it's practically bed time anyway and I just want to chill out at that point!

    I often think about doing an express spin class before an early shift/long day as its done by about 630 or 645, shower at the gym and then straight for work. It's only ever been a thought.

    Morning, I do my dvd before work and feel great for it. Its hard to get started but once I've finished it I feel great.
    Moms doing it too but isn’t good at doing it every day. Yesterday we went out and we were talking and I told her I do it before work every morning and she said about me going round to do it with her. So this morning I didn’t do it first thing but went round to hers at 7:30 and we did it together then shower and to work from there. Will do it earlier again tomorrow as shes working.

    I've been tempted to go back to doing online shopping but I hate not being able to pick my own meat and fruit and veg. It is so much quicker but sometimes find the quality of the products they pick isn't the greatest, along with shelf lives, and I don't always like the substitutes they do which means I have to take a trip to the shop anyway to re-buy the product. Although it's such a chore I feel it is easier for me to physically go and do the shopping!

    I do like being able to see exactly how much you're spending though, then if it's a bit too much can go back through your basket and delete stuff that you don't reaaaaally need.

    Yeah I'm like that Flossie.... The dates are rubbish I find but its just convenient sometimes.

    Got school uniform sorted

    5 jumpers, 5 trousers, 6 T shirts, shoes, 10 pairs of socks, PE shorts, 2 PE T shirts & jogging bottoms £84

    Not too bad really and his dad goes halves with me so £42.

    I'll get him a new coat nearer winter as his current one still fits fine

    Had my tyres done too..... 2 tyres, tracking, alignment etc, £100

    Oh well, it's done.... It's been an advisory on my MOT for months lol

    No it doesn't take me long as I have all my favourites set up on there so add all them first and then decide what we're having for dinner each day and add all that. I have the app on my phone so I start it on a Saturday with all the basics and add stuff that I think of right through the week and then place the order on Thursday for a Friday delivery.x

    It's all from the green supermarket cos you can get away with it whilst they are at primary school lol.....

    Good thing is as well, my ironing lady isn't coming til Wednesday so I can wash it all and send it to be ironed ha ha ha bonus!

    I only have budget tyres cos I only do about 5000 miles a year. I don't think it's too bad to be fair. Luckily I've been able to use the money from MIL so it's not actually cost me anything x

    Why not, there's no point spending mega bucks if you don't need to! To be fair the supermarkets have really nice clothes these days anyway, I buy a couple of things from @sd@ now and again. Got a nice pair of jeans from there the other week that were only £14... they fit like a glove as well.

    I've got my second interviewee coming at 2.. I'm feeling a bit nervous for some reason, not sure why as the interview last week went well.

    Yeah, I buy work tops from the blue and green supermarkets and for what I use them for, it's ideal....

    Uniforms from @sd@ are good and I've bought them there since he started!! He loses jumpers more often than not and has the same style shoes every time..... He has about four pairs a year cos he wrecks them so buying expensive ones just isn't viable! We've tried Cl@rkes, N3x7 and other branded shoes which are double in price and last less time than supermarkets so I refuse to do it!

    Don’t blame you Emma, that’s a good price for all that!

    Tyres are a good price too for all that. OH pays £45 per tyre for us. We tested by tread depth the other week and was 3mm… need to get them don’t in the very near future.

    Feeling shattered this afternoon. Need a pick me up. Have my fan on to keep my eyes open!

    I just ordered 2 pairs of jeans from the kids range on B0d£n. Arrived and fit perfectly. Not bad for £22!!!

    Just blitzed the flat and no waiting for OH to get home from work. Did the good shop as well en route. We were thinking about trying an online shop. My sil uses Oc@d0 and says that they are good, but think they're expensive. Just a bit concerned that you can't choose your use by dates as we usually shop for a whole week.

    I've fallen off the bandwagon too with the dieting! Scoffed nearly a whole bag of D0ritos last night. Need to get back onto it too, but haven't been feeling wonderful - have felt sick on and off the last week. Did a test earlier as we are trying for a baby, but it was negative so guessing I've just had a bit of a bug!

    Definitely an option, might be more cost effective to pay out a lump sum to hire a villa rather than pay per person for a package holiday. We stayed in a villa in Portugal a few years ago and it was lovely being able to have our own space, private pool etc. The only downside really was having to buy our own food and cook for ourselves, clean up after ourselves and wash up etc... sometimes it didn't really feel like a holiday.
