I have spent most of today at my mums house with the girls. We usually go there every Sunday for our dinner and for the girls to play. Also so I can get a little break, my mum does all the chasing around instead of me. We had a lovely Sunday lunch today and I was good and didn't over indulge, especially with the crackling. I usually finish the whole plate but today I only had two small pieces. Healthy eating for the win.
I also want to talk about my little addiction to Pinterest. I have already mentioned that I use the site in previous posts. If anybody is a member I am sure they will understand. Let me start by explaining what pinterest is, it is a website where you create boards and you pin pictures to them but if you click on the pictures they will send you to the link where they came from. I have a few boards, from recipes I want to try, crafts, animal photos, words and art. I find this website so useful, especially all the recipes. In fact I found so many recipes that I had to buy some extra equipment so I could try them. This is mainly a slow cooker or crock pot in the USA. I have tried a few already and they are fantastic. The thing is you find so many things to try that you need to find time to try them all. Please let me know if you use the site and what your thoughts are as I have only heard positive things about.
Goodbye for now.

To Do, To Do, To Do
It seems at the moment I have loads of to do lists and there is no end in sight. This makes me quite happy actually as it is giving me something to do. I have lists for things that need organizing, lists for chores to do, lists for personal goals and lists of ways to make some extra money too.
Today I got another two big boxes two add to the other two that I got yesterday. They have now also been filled up. Hopefully I will just need two get another two and all the girls toys will be sorted. There bedrooms will then need to be moved about and adjusted until I am happy.
Also today I finally have my tumble dryer, so I can get all my laundry done. I have put it all in piles although I know I won't be able to get it all done today I can get a good chunk of it done.
One of my goals this year is to save more and I came across this article which I think could really help. Well I'm going to give it a good go anyway. It's called the 52 week plan and all you do is put away the amount of what week it is, so for week one I am putting away a £1.00 and week two it will be £2.00 and so on. This should accumulate nicely and hopefully I will have saved quite a bit by the end of the year. Here is a link to the article http://www.allthingsmw.com/52-week-money-challenge/
Still doing well with no eating of chocolate or drinking of pop. I am however struggling to ger any exercise done. I think I will take the dog for a long walk tomorrow.
Take care

Motivation, Motivation, Motivation
This is what I need right now as I am feeling very lost. I need this for my beautiful girls as my relationship with their dad seems to be falling apart slowly and I need to be able to stand and be strong for them. You see for the last six years I have gone around the country for him so he can follow his dreams and now it has come to a point where I need to sort mine out. For this to happen I need to have a hella a lot of motivation and money, which I don't have much off. But it the next few weeks you will see that I am going to be more motivated and more determined then ever.
From today, I am setting up four of the most important goals for me and them.
Number 1. Make a five year life plan, so I know where we are going.
Number 2. Get some money into saving, so I have some back up money.
Number 3. Go back to college so I can have my dream job and prove to my girls that at no matter what age you are you can live your dreams. (I'm 30 by the way).
Number 4. Learn to drive and get a car, so I can have more independence.
So for now I am thinking positive and off to make my five year plan.
See you tomorrow and keep motivated in whatever you do.
