    Very chilled out pottering not doing much day

    Decided to leave the cleaning for today and did some very slow work on the assignment approx halfway there now for first basic version.

    NSD 15 today and target reached! Yeah!

    Nice going on the easy day - you seem to be so busy every weekend, it's definitely time you slowed down a bit :D

    That's just what I thought today, it was nice lounging about on the settee with the snooker on, attempting to write some answers to my assignment

    Anyway have written 7/10 answers now at 572/1000 words. 3 more to go but some are quite poor so need some development. Will answer them tomorrow then have a look to see how I can improve them with probably less words to get in on the wordcount! Hoping to get it done before the weekend so I can have the weekend off again as all the ones in May are going to be full on with revision for the exam which is going to be rock hard I expect!

    Wed plan
    Eye test first thing
    kitchen and whichever list is up for tomorrow
    HHI only a bit to do
    Finish off last 3 questions then see if can make a bit more sense of other answers
    Nice walk with the dog
    Facemask (didn't have one today)
    Hairpack again

    Mealplans sorted for the next few weeks after went through the freezer and cupboards to see what I had in as I really need to reign in the food spending for next month and also increase the NSDs and try and save some more money.

    Discovered 8 frozen egg whites in the freezer - looks like meringues then and to use up the cream in the fridge. Also some wraps to use up the tuna and salad in the fridge. Also usual stack of pasta to start working through and tomorrow is pasta with squash and blue cheese (all had for ages) and will make up 2 meals so will be enough for Thurs lunch or tea with salad leaves. Then thinking might make a biryani on Friday for a treat. Will see how I feel then.

    Pleased to have made my targets for this month

    NSD 15/15 :jcould still be more :D
    Grocery Challenge - £124.70/£130 :D
    AFD will be 26 as not having a drink until the exam is over and done with at the end of May :cool:

    Challenges for May
    NSD 17
    AFD 29 at least
    Grocery Challenge £100 = £25 per week to make me really think hard about what I need and what I will buy and if I stick to this I'll have brought the budget down by £50 since Jan. Feeling up to this challenge especially as my salad leaves are doing well at the moment and I'm hoping they continue to do so to keep me in salad over the summer.
