    Meal plan done, soup made. All my meals pointed.

    The dog has been on the park and also for a walk round the block.

    Relaxation was a lovely soak in the bath with a glass of cava left over from last night.

    Mr SA has texted the painter about the hall and he will do it when it's been plastered.

    Achieved NSD 5/18 today :)

    Well that's Monday done.

    Small spend in Lidl on the way home from work. Planning a couple of NSDs now.

    Plasterer coming tomorrow to look at what needs doing.

    Had a go at one of the recipes from Jamie O's TV programme tonight - the courgette, lemon and mint linguine - it was really nice. Of course Mr SA wouldn't touch it with a barge pole, he had pie, chips and beans!

    Walked just short of 20k steps today plus 30 minutes session in work gym at lunchtime - cross trainer and weights.

    I feel much happier when I'm organised and on a mission JWP.

    Got another £20 voucher from work today for helping out with an event, doing well had £80 in the last few weeks :)

    Plasterer came to quote for hall, stairs, landing and DD's room. He reckons it'll be about a week's work - not going to be cheap!! Good news is he can fit us in before we go on holiday. Fortunately the rest of the house is ok plaster wise.

    Made a huge stir fry for my dinner tonight with loads of veg. We've got a chilli plant on the patio so picked two as they are quite small, nearly blew my head off!!! Mr SA had pork steak, roast potatoes and veg which he really enjoyed.

    NSD 6/18 today :)

    Halfway through the week already!

    Spend day today as paid for my Christmas meal with work £20 plus bread, bananas and cat food.

    Gym at lunchtime again :)

    Managed to get washing dry outside, hung it up in the covered area in the garden.

    Tonight's dinner was quorn chilli with homemade potato wedges for me, using up a bag of quorn mince been n the freezer for ages, two portions left over to freeze. Mr SA had beef chilli and chips - he would have chips with everything if he could!
