Shiny New Year, Shiny New Start. The January NSD Challenge

NSD # 5 for me today. :j Spend day expected tomorrow.

NSD3 & 4 in the bag. Well, it's only partway through #4, but I'm at work with a bag full of food and snacks to prevent the dreaded 'second lunch' phenomenon that seems to hit at around 2.30pm otherwise.

Particularly proud of yesterday, since I usually find it really difficult to have NSDs when I'm at home with the kids - I hate not getting out and about all day, and then the temptation to stop and grab a coffee while I feed the baby and buy a juice for the elder is too great. But yesterday a friend came over and we made mini pizzas, then it was still lovely and warm in the late afternoon so we took a picnic to the park and had our tea on the grass. NSD and I felt like a super parent, all in one!

(Thanks for all the thoughts about the fires. I'm not where the current bushfires are, and the forecast where I am is more reasonable now, but I'm touched to receive your good thoughts and shall pass them on to my NSW friends).

Hi armchair...

I couldn't miss you out of the update so yay for NSD nos 3 and 4, that's brilliant:j:j:j

Yesterday sounds like a fabby day... you have no idea how good the idea of a picnic sounds at the moment... I'm glad you enjoyed it:)

Good news re the bushfires, hope that continues.

Enjoy the rest of your day, ours will be starting in around 6 hours so I'm off to bed now....

Made NSD 3/15 today - without even realising it til just now.

Flubs that sounds very exciting, we are all waiting for the outcome, and the bins emptied too I hope:rotfl: and Bdini well done at finishing essay, I was always right at the last minute with mine, its such a releif when they are finished.

I'm up and about to get ready for work - really haven't enjoyed this week at all and finding it hard to muster the energy to get going in the mornings. It's not like me at all as I'm very much one who 'gets on'. I generally enjoy my job so no idea what's going on with me. I live in the sun so not even SAD, although quite possibly sun overdose. A good lashing of rain would help!

I'm going to have a spend day today as I made a mistake with an iTunes gift card and had to sort that out for my son. It's not all bad as I downloaded some music, which I haven't done in years and will play that in the car this morning to try and boost my mood.

I'll try and get my oil changed after work too so I can get maximum use out of my speedy day

Have a great day everyone.
