[Not2bObvious]

New thread as old one nearly full

Thanks for the advice life, I'll try give it a go. Sorry the move didn't happen this weekend - just a slight delay I hope. I haven't had a sausage roll for so long, so tasty

Gen great that you can start the drug therapy everything crossed for you lovely
Life that is a bgr, hope it goes through ok
Not it will kill but like Life said it will help
Nice day here but not going out am recovering from being up MumBobs. What is it about EP and their obsession with keeping cash in the house ? they have over 5 k in the safe there between them l counted it all and made them put it in the safe themselves so l can't be accused of nicking/moving/hiding/losing it !

What is it with EP's keeping EVERYTHING is my question mrs, I've a low level hoarder on my hands and guess who'll get to deal with most of it when the time comes....
Had my takeaway in the garden, and 3 glasses of wine, meh. Did 40 min body pump, 20 body combat, 30 min jog, 15 min walk on treadmill, then walk to shop & back - around 25 mins. Legs are hanging off me! I need a stairlift

I totally understand Not my Mums house is chocca as is Bobs , l have no intention of having anything to do with either of the houses when they die. I have given enough.
You did yourself proud re the exercise!

Well done not
mrs we are the only ones from 5 siblings and half siblings of DH who do anything and some of the others have made comments about wanting this or that from PILs house, they’re already stripping the place bare!
We did a 12km walk and I had already done a spin so feeling well exercised.

Well done not.
Walked loads today 15k +steps. Ice cream though.
I might get back to pump tomorrow. Did it help the Dom's?

God my DM house is chocca. Loads of stuff everywhere and ornaments Sheesh.

Gen well done on your exercise !
The house & the things in it don't hold any good feelings for me . I had a terrible life there and my family have treated me so badly, my whole life , that l will be glad to see the lot of it gone , they can do what they like with it !
Wow Life great work

mrs that’s so awful, I’m really sorry to hear that. Who could be horrible to you?! You’re such a lovely person. It makes me feel really angry!!
DH is a mega hoarder so I defo don’t want anything from PILs - when we got together he had twice the amount of stuff I did, and when we moved into together he refused to get rid so we ended up paying for storage for 12 months, £150 a month, then at the end of the year I said do you realise we have paid out thousands for this crap, come with me to see it and, lo and behold, he’d forgotten what most of it was so threw most of it out. I was raging!
I used to be on the minimalist threads here about 7-8 years back, I think some old frugaleers were on there too. I really cba with stuff, I just Chuck things ruthlessly. Sometimes I mildly regret it but hardly ever.

5029 steps so far. 45 minute walk.

6103 now. just pottering round the house, making sure the dc are ready to go and have been to the shop

Morning everyone 😀
Ah that's so sweet and caring of you Gen don't worry about me l have the very best DH and DDS l could ever wish for ❤️ they make up for everything 🤗
That's mad re the storage charge too! Sometimes l feel ppl have extensions to store more rap in! 😂😁
Well doneEm great start to the day! 👏

6300 and a few with barely any weight

Happy Monday all. I don't think the weights made the doms any worse life, and I felt like a warrior so it was worth it! I'm jealous of all your early steps, I lay in bed til 9 then dragged myself to the kitchen to work. It's a dull oul day here, and my steps will be probably a walk at lunch and one after work so nowt exciting. Hoping to get back into the every second day workout plan, so tomorrow would be weights/jog-walk.
Scales sts today which is good after my takeaway yesterday

Woop woop not.
I'm joining pp today as no move has occurred. Think I'm going 12 months. Need to go food shopping today..
9100 steps

Good for you life! It's very encouraging there and there's definitely help if you need it. I'm chugging away nicely, but know I can reach out if I need. I'm in that nice headspace where I believe I can, long may it last (and that I actually do it!)

Well done on steps so early, everyone! I’m only on about 1,500 - I did a 40 min spin though, my longest yet. Hoping to get a walk in later after fertility acupuncture and working on my presentation for the open day next week. Even tho it’s only 25 mins plus ten for QA I am bricking! Will defo use the tips I had from lovely people on here and the main thread.

Wow on the 40 min spin gen, that'd be at least 7,000 steps I reckon? I'm sure you'll do great at the presentation, hope the acupuncture goes well too.
Got a walk to shops, so just over 6,000 now, I'm trying for 12,000 a day so halfway there. Best try do some more work

Well done on the exercise everyone 🤗
Gen you will do fabulously well in your presentation. l Just know you will 🤗👍👏
Enjoy your fertility Accupuncture l imagine it to be so relaxing☀️🤗
Have been good here porridge and nothing else 😀
Not you will do it love 🤗👏
Bought myself some daffs for a cheer up. Best 60p l have ever spent . It's the little things ❤️

Bah. Stress eating but now stocked up with good food

Beautiful daffodils mrs, I adore flowers, some of my mother's days ones are just about holding on so I cut them shorter and re-vased them. I should treat myself with flowers not crisps & chocolate.
Sorting your food environment will be a big help life, I've menu planned the next 2 days, made good choices that should help. No big events this week, apart from ep's visit but that's not til Friday so I won't have a 3 day weekend starting Thursday for a change. Be nice to get a loss. Just under 1,500 cals, and 14,500 steps. Aches improvement too

Did not sleep well as hips hurting. Attempt to restart to day now move stress is done

Sorry to hear about your hips life, delighted you're moved, must be a relief (is this the final destination? Or a rental?)
Only slept 5 hours, got up just after 6 and did body pump/body combat/35 min jog. I wish it was always this doable, it was hard but I felt able for most of it. I'm a complete mess at the body combat though, feel like a warrior but look like a womble😂
Down .6 today, 163 again. Next goal in happy scale is 162.

We didn't move. Glitch in chain.
Not moving until may now

Oh that sucks, sorry to hear that - roll on May.
Veggie sausages for lunch, out of ideas at this stage, easy option will do. Doesn't need to be exciting, though it would be nice if it were!
