Mrs McB's countdown to adventures with chooks (and Rock Gods)

Pippilongstocking

Forgot to add two things

Started a challenge to increase my happiness through a snap of everyday stuff to make me appreciate whats around me.

#100happydays

I'm updating mine on the book of face - its making me appreciate my life in small ways. Not sure how long I'll keep it up but its nice all the same.

And, I put in my timesheet for this past month at the learning factory so that's an extra 20 hours extra pay towards the cards.

Have a good un!

Morning world

Today's cunningly frugal plan is as follows

Work from home in AM
Walk dogs locally
Work from town in the PM (petrol expensed)
Meet a chum in the staff room for a DIY lunch and catch up
Get some CV/application advice
Walk dogs in toon (small)
Meeting a colleague to set up a stand at food bank
Walk dogs at beach near after (long)
Text dd see if she needs a lift and save her some bus dosh
More work admin work
Check banks
Check cc's
Meals from stores - think tonight its rissotto but we have a lot of pearl barley cooked (slow cooker thanks KC) so we'll use that and must harvest spinach at work for that (free grub always good)
Must remember lunch
Garage still to sort when I feel noble
Wood to chop when my mood gets in the zone
FINISH job application once reviewed
NSD - we certainly don't need anything aside washing powder and I've just put out the last of the dog food but both can wait another day
Bit cleaning using minimal cleaning products
Look for more jobs - mustn't rest on laurels

Well that's enough of a list for right now - lets see what DFW magic happens.

Washing powder - check whether the offer is still on (and no idea if you have a particular one you normally buy) but the huge boxes of Surf were on offer in T's at the end of last week when I got mine - £6 for the 4kg or thereabouts size I think I paid. Thought that was pretty reasonable for a "good" powder.

And that looks like a nice well-planned day there, and I do !!!! the 100 Days of Happiness idea too - I'm seeing a lot of those about at the moment. Might make a blog post perhaps?

Bafflement reigns - it appears that the forum didn't like the word "!!!!ly" when I used it in an earlier post? Eh? What's that about?! :rotfl:

Sounds a good day, Pippi, I'm sure you'll feel very noble so the garage has a great deal to fear

Loving the happy days, thats beautiful, and swapsing with a friend is great, very win-win.

Let the !!!!! begin :A

ETA:
Huh? the exclamations there were "m agic" - woss wrong wiv dat?

Where's the love MSE - where's the magic eh KC?

What on earth is going in are we in too much of an MSE lovefest.....:rotfl:

Oh I'm not blocked now - crazy mccrazy.

Waves to all - heading out after a very frustrating drippingin and out of internet at home.

Will check out current WP offers thanks EH - I normally do one decent to two value so we'll see what the score is......thanks!

The forums seem to be going a little mad! Unless there is now a separate MSE battery of words that are considered beyond the pale...!

Slumps in a heap - all work done for the now.

Great lunch with clever chum who's reviewing my application for me - she offered and its silly not to say yes to help cos I'm embarrassed I've not done a good job!

Work colleague and I set up display at local food bank - quite fun really like giant lego with no instructions.

Tea - HM tartiflette - used some value cream cheese instead of posh stuff worked like a charm.

DD out soon for a club and I'm on taxi later so working on the last of my supporting statement tonight for chum to review..........

Fires on - and a NSD is mine to be claimed.
Short walk with mutts earlier must do them again in a while
Not feeling the garage love tonight

tottles off to see what folks are upto.

Just popped in to say hi Pippi - your diary is soooooo fast moving compared to the speed of my brain at this time of night!! I've just caught up with the last few pages - your lists and what you are getting done is marvellous!! :j


I shall continue to follow, hope the CV expert friend does the business and the job search continues to go well
