Stop being so hard on yourself.....and smell the roses

Happy Hump Day

Nice that you didnt have to waste a days leave because of the strike. Luckily our kids are grown up so it hasnt affected me school wise.

I'm just beginning to wonder if the buses are running here to get to volunteering? Or if I shall have to walk :eek: (it's about an hour) So will have to phone....

Had no roses moments yesterday - forgot .....

Just paid off debts - and then it rained and I got cold....though am enjoying doing my crocheting etc ....

Pinch and a punch 1st of the month!!
24 days and it will be Christmas, Hurrah!!

Not much to report MSEwise yesterday but 'smelling the roses wise' I sat and watch a whole Christmasfilm snuggled with my DD.
It was lovely to actually not keep getting up and down to do things, bliss.

Smelling the roses wise - I got my new radio yesterday and I slept in my own bed and it went really well...:)

And also started some new crochet so that was fun too (even thought it went wrong ) ...so a little hyper now ...Only got about 5 hours sleep :eek:

Slept better and my roses moment yesterday was putting an extra blanket on the bed and putting the duvet cover on :j...

Slept for 9 hours - in the bed which am well chuffed about...

So onwards and upwards

O2b where are you hun?

Here I am Erme.
Sounds like you are having lots of lovely roses moments.
Well done.

Bit of a mad dash for me this morning, so no diary entry just a quick check of accounts and a money shuffle.
Not much happening money wise just waiting for statements to arrive so that I can make minimum payments and then overpayments the day before I get paid.

I have decided to give myself a Christmas bonus next year. I have got a sealed pot in my office that I have been putting money in for a couple of months. I have decided not to open it and keep adding to it next year and see what I have in it.
Smell the roses - writing Christmas cards while watching a Christmas film.

The weekend is here!!
That is a smell the roses moment alone.

This weekend there is a HUGE list of jobs to complete!
So where to begin - probably by getting off here

Clean and tidy whole house - believe me it needs it!
Make room for the Christmas tree - looks like a major reshuffle this year
Washing
Ironing
Catch up with paperwork
Wrap presents
Put some items on eBay before I miss the Christmas rush
Food shopping

Don't know if I am going to smell many roses this weekend.

Erme

I've got 101 things to do and feel soooo sluggish

Just opened the window in the hope that that helps

Och I can imagine 02b....I've also got probs with my e-cig so praying I don't need new kit ...I can't get one till early next year when the mighty is due out. I've had this one for about 2 months. Or it could just be a leaky tank going into the battery or the batteries being dead. I don't know. They were just mega cheap ones I got a while back. But then I'm not vaping as much as I was. Maybe take the battery out overnight or something and see if that helps? let the whole kit dry out as much a possible. If it needs a new tank (had probs with the tank leaking for a while) it will be £30 next pay day and if it's the e-cig it'll be about the same. Don't know what to do

Obviously I could just try the plastic inhalators...that's an option now I'm down to 32mg/ml a day (and about 1-2ml a day) cos I've worked out you actually absorb about 10mg or so of that...

Don't know

So where did that weekend go?

Seemed to spend most of it spending money :mad:
Must stop now.

I have booked a slot for a Christmas shop delivery- a bit late doing it this year and the nearest to Christmas I could get was the Tuesday. So I will get all the basics and non perishables delivered and then do a mad dash very early on the Friday for the fresh stuff, I think.

I have to get 1 Christmas card and then I am completely finished with the Christmas shopping so I shall get that today.

From now I shall stop the spending and get back to the MSE way of life.
Just shows how easy it is to slip but at least nothing weny on the CC.

Have a good Monday

Erme

Well it's either carrots or starting my change pot. Bearing in mind the milk lasted till today (just when I broke Sabbath getting some ) I think the carrots might last till tomorrow. And I have celery for boosting lunch (cous cous, veggies and mayo)

Anyhow I have to go hunting for a jigsaw for Ma later in the charity shop but it's sooo cold. Don't relish going outside. Don't think it will snow down here but still

And study...Can't be bothered to do housework...it can wait
