NST June 2017: Jiggle Free June

Yesterday was not NSD - woke up unable to open one eye much, as it was all sore and red and the eyelid was swollen. Went down a bit when I bathed it with cooled water, but I thought a trip to get 0ptrex or similar was probably in order as it kept puffing back up. Trip to Tesc0 with smallest ensued, where I got some eyedrops from the pharmacy and also some shopping (we were out of 2 sorts of cereal anyway and I had baked scones and had no cream!!)

Budget spending so far this month now looks like this:
Personal care £32
Gifts £1.50 (bday card for boss)
Toiletries & Cleaning £11.94
Groceries: £42.24

OH is out for the day with DS1 at a uni open day - which will involve lunch for the both of them. They have taken coffee in thermal mugs for the journey down.

Today should be NSD for me at home with smalls - some housework and homework are on the agenda, together with making sure school bags are ready for Monday morning back to school (thankfully I'm not back in at work until lunchtime, so it won't be a rush on Monday morning) I also want to get some meaningful exercise achieved today!

Today hasn't been a NSD as the OH declared he couldn't possibly have a BBQ without beer! So £20 spent on him (decided he'd have to test BBQ with lamb steak and burgers too! I'm just having usages I defrosted this morning.

So, it would have been a NSD otherwise.

I've not done any exercise today - been cleaning the house and sorting out the washing (hoping to get a big chunk of it done). On the plus side I cheekily stepped on the scales and I'm two pounds down from last week (official weigh day is a Monday) so it's looking good!!!

Did our big shop today so not a NSD. Spent more than we intended - £79 and our weekly budget is £50 :eek: but we did need a few toiletry bits, got lots of fruit and veg for smoothies and I've got enough stuff in to make a few weeks worth of meals. Next week should be just a top up of more perishable stuff so should bring us back on budget. Will go shopping without hubby next week to make sure no extras go in the trolley.

Spent a lot of this afternoon in the garden watching hubby dig a trench for a fence and supervising little man building a "big mud mountain, the biggest I've ever seen!"

Got parents coming round for tea so unfortunately will be no leftovers tonight to freeze. Planning a few batch cooking meals to do Tuesday whilst little man's at nursery.

Not much exercise today as hip is killing me but will have a gentle walk after tea this evening as usual.

I haven't achieved a NSD yet. Small shop at Aldi for a few toiletries and food to keep DH fed when I am away.

I am all packed for my trip and the taxi is booked for very early in the morning. DH is out this afternoon with a friend and will no doubt fall asleep when he gets in so we wont see much of each other until next Friday!

DS and I have walked the dog but no other exercise done.

I hope you all have a good week without much spending and will check back in next week

1st planned shop today. However, only Thursday was no spend. Black dog is lurking and I've spent £25 I don't have in the budget on crap. Even worse I'm racing tomorrow and that's all my great prep out the window.

Seriously hacked off with myself.

However, Gratitude:

1) DH has had his next post confirmed. He'll be at QE, the new hospital which is easy to get to, and he likes. Also, because he passed they've given him a 'grace period' of six months from November to bridge between his training contract and his finding a fellowship/consultants post.:j

2) My friend Jill. Doesn't care that I may have ruined our speed chances of tomorrow. We are just going to enjoy the fact that we both CAN run.

3) Focus. I have a plan. Which is at least a start and better than having no plan.
