Earthgirl gets back on track!

earthgirl

Due to customers changing their mind, our collection was moved across the country -very impressed with p-inn, able to cancel before 1pm on the day of arrival!! Anyway OH went on his own, and I stayed here, and did jobs!

I managed to get two beds dug over at the allotment, and got rid of loads of end of season summer veg - a little bit more to do, but it looks quite tidy now. For winter Ive got enough I hope - cabbage, sprouts, spinach, beetroot, j. artichokes, caulis.

Going to cook a lovely spinach and potato curry now with a huge naan!

My extra thing today has been washing my car and making a radish relish.

Hi all,

Just catching up on everyones diaris really! The lady that does breakfast club with me wasn't well, so it was a bit of a mad dash to get it all done this morning, but had a good day afterwards. Did a tutoring and got Octobers cheap toiletry shop on the way home. Have a beef stew bubbling in the slow cooker, trying to madly use up loads of veg that I picked at the weekend - stew should last a few days.

I've also got a good crop of golden del apples, and a punnet full of strawberries to eat - I'm definately getting my 5 a day, but I know OH is a bit sick of veggies all the time!

My extra thing today would have been to make my september OP, but RBS have changed systems and I can't transfer money, but I've overpaid £550 cash and cheques in for starters - tutoring money and breakfast club expenses.

I've got myself organised for biking tomorrow, fingers crossed for good weather

Hi All

Not posted for a few days as I've been really busy with work and tutoring.
I've got one or two tutorings booked in every night, and another new customer to start, so I'll be able to overpay all that in. I just need to make sure I am very organised!!

I will make my OP on Monday - I 'owe' £450 that I didn't op last month cause I needed a thingy for rbs online banking. So this month I aim to OP £1450 minimum.

As I am so busy and feel so tired all the time compared to how I felt last year, I need to make some more lifestyle choices (Don't I always!). Although I have been making loads more extra cash by working until 8ish I have been neglecting my diet and exercise and I am craving sugary foods - the cold weather doesn't help!

I have enquired about joing a gym again, as it seems the only way I get regular exercise when I cant bike to work (as I need my car for tutoring afterwards). I have managed to organise a corporate membership at the nearest gym for £25 per month for everything incl. pool, gym and classes, so I think thats quite a good deal - for the winter anyhow!

Hate making big spends - I always feel guilty!

Having a relaxing weekend, OH is away. Out for tea at p express tomorrow with voucher - should be good and MSE at £10!

Wow that's a fantastic op! It's great that you can do extra work but why not compromise and do alternate days work, excercise, work etc then you'll get a nice balance of the two.

I really admire your running Eva, even if I did cut down on the work I couldn't do what you do!

I don't think I could keep up the OPS if I cut down the tutoring - I would be down £100 a week, so I think paying £25 a month for a gym is a bargain, as long as I go! But having a nice pool and jacuzzi after a workout will be lovely, and I can still go before breakfast club if I can drag my sorry self out of bed one of these days!
Think I'll go and join tomorrow - start as I mean to go on!!

Right Action Plan for the weekend I was going to watch a film and stuff but have ended up spending most of the night on MSE! Never mind
