Hi Jellie, I just found your MF diary, so,will have a catch up.

Morning, woken to a glorious blue sky - fingers crossed the good weather really is on its way.
NSD, I am not tracking these but we are stacking quite a few up, and it would be good to know how many.
I had intended to look at the menu plan last night but completely forgot. I do have time this evening, so will compete and print.
Work is as manic as ever but overall is going well. The team is supportive and good fun, which makes life easier with so much to achieve. However, I am spending more of my own time deciding what next - taking my age, pension age and career aspirations into consideration I need to decide whether I want to change direction. I have had this on my mind for a while, but no quality time to consider.
Have a good day and it's Thursday - DS is delighted to finish school tomorrow - year is fast disappearing. Hopefully the good weather will stay with us.
I am having a little bet with Mr T about when our daily interest will get down to £10 - may have to cheat and work it out. Two years is his bet

NSD achieved, although for part of the day I kept thinking it was Wednesday
. I did wonder why people weren't dialling into con calls on time - that'll be because it's Thursday you idiot
We are off for a dog walk shortly - miraculously the rain has held off although it's threatened most of the day. I did manage to dry two loads of washing on the line and have made my shopping list for tomorrow evening.
No money updates

Very early dog walk achieved today, but I think I was probably sleep walking. Dogs had a ball but Mr Tilly and I were rather zombie like.
NSD achieved - Friday night, we need to challenge the booze cupboard, so Mr Tilly is investigating cocktails using limes - once they are gone we can move to something else. What fun:T
I have a tiny amount of Br@nston pickle in one jar, and then that's another jar decluttered from the fridge.
Nothing else to report except we are doing all the right things, (for Morecombe and Wise fans), not necessarily in the right order...... (sorry I am showing my age)

It may as well be Christmas with the weather we are having :rotfl:.
I was very organised last year as I was on Maternity Leave, I think I need to start preparing a list . . .1 -
Morning SD, I used to be really organised but as the kids are growing up, their 'wants' change and I find it far more difficult to plan
Have a good day - I hear the sun may be out today :T

Morning, just having a cuppa before a long dog walk. They are looking at me, very expectantly at the moment.
I didn't manage to get my shopping yesterday so will pop in to town today, and buy a few bits off the market. I don't need much so may have a little extra to OP.
Another jar from the fridge will go today - I am finding this therapeutic and gaining more space. Plus will clean the fridge out this morning which I probably don't do often enough.
I do need to spend some time in the garden but will do that late tomorrow. I want to spend today doing some fun things with the kids.
Dog food - I tend to trawl the Internet looking for best priced dry food - but it disappears quickly, even using a measure for serving. Definitely gave to order some today.
Have a fab day in the sun which hopefully will shine on us all.
