Making chicken feed of my mortgage

Good morning

A quick update from yesterday:

Eggs IN 5
Eggs OUT 0

I went to a sushi making class yesterday evening. It was fun and even better it was subsidised by the S&S club £12.50 instead of £25 :T

I've also signed up for walk to work week... not that I'm actually going to walk to work as it's a 25-mile journey along a dual carriageway :eek: however I will walk around the park at lunchtime instead - I've already received a free pedometer and there's the promise of a foot massage

I need a huge kick up the backside

I achieved very little at work today as I just couldn't be bothered - I'd like to say it was a one-off but that would be lying

I'm also tired all the time so I'm going to have a soak in the bath and an early night and hopefully I'll be in a better mood tomorrow

Eggs IN 7
Eggs OUT 12 (2 boxes sold @ £1.50/box)

Dinner was leftovers from the weekend... and there's still some left in the fridge...I think we over-catered :rotfl:

I refuse to kick your tired backside today. Go have a bath, relax and get a good nights sleep. I shall return some point tomorrow to see if you are feeling less tired. Then I'll kick butt!

Thanks MM

I'm feeling more positive this morning

In bed at 21:30
Awake at 05:00
Dozed until the alarm went off at 05:45
Jumped on the scales and they actually creaked not the heaviest I've ever weighed but not far off (especially if I don't stop boredem eating at work)
Made my lunch/snacks for the first time in over a month - raw veggies, marmite rice cakes, a 50 kcal piece of cheese (tiny!), fresh and dried fruit - I will not buy any cookies or chocolate today
Left the house at 07:15
I will go for a walk at lunchtime rather than sit at my desk
I will review at least one report today rather than put it off again
I will not get distracted by the internet when I should be working (well after this post!)
I will drink 1.5L water

And if I manage all that I will treat myself to some plants from Sarah Raven

I was much less tired today than I have been for weeks (there have been numerous days when I could have rested my head on my desk and fallen asleep mid-afternoon!) and as a result I was much more productive

I need to up my game at work as they are hiring someone on a fixed term contract in the same role as me. He has much more experience so I don't want to find my job at risk in 12 months time...

My free skincare gift from a magazine subscription arrived today - just in time as I have run out of my normal brand and have been using up free samples this week :T

Eggs IN 7
Eggs OUT 10 (1 box sold for £1.25 + 4 for dinner)

Dinner was poached eggs on a toasted muffin with ham, chargrilled asparagus and portobello mushrooms

Today would have been a NSD but I'm off to treat myself on the Sarah Raven website before having another early night

Glad you are feeling a bit better and I don't need to kick butt.

Still take it easy though - it might be time to slow down for a few weeks and chill. Don't want to find you collapsed in a messy heap one day!

PS. Very green eyed over your Sarah Raven purchases. What did you get???

muddywhitechicken

Thanks MM

I bought:
Hydrangea macrophylla 'Merveille Sanguine' x 1
Tithonia rotundiflora 'Torch' x 5 seedlings
Angelica gigas x 3
Polyanthus 'Don Keefe' x 1
Scabiosa ‘Ace of Spades’ x 1
Crimson pot collection x 1 (Hibiscus ‘Mahogany’ x 5 and Dianthus ‘Sweet Red’ x 5)

I spent:
£63.80 but I did get free P&P and hopefully it will track through TCB at 10.1%

Hi MCI

Good to see you

It is indeed... as tasty as the eggs are I'm so happy that I don't have to eat them all!!!

Take care

Yesterday's spending spree yesterday reminded me that I ordered some seeds from Sarah Raven in the Autumn. I've hunted high and low and finally found them this evening So tomorrow I will be sowing Emilia javanica Irish Poet and Venetian sweet pea mix along with some borage seeds that I also found.

Eggs IN 6
Eggs OUT 6 (£1.25)

Asparugus, courgette & pea risotto for dinner

Looking forward to another early night and a lazy weekend
