I did another 8k after going to and from sch on the bus for a parents eve. 18k total. Smug.
It was a lovely, lovely parents evening and I thoroughly enjoyed it. And despite walking the first 1.3 miles of the way home, I covered the 6 miles in 50 mins because the buses were wonderfully connected.NST March lion #8; NSD ; MFW9/3/23 Whoop Whoop!!!0 -

I don't often get those sorts of steps nowadays, so I feel extra chuffed on the odd accasion that I manage it.
I had a fairly mellow day at work, and the kids were nice. And it was onlya half day. Got a few pesky emails written and sent.
Dropped 2 more bags to the Sally Army - 6 so far this month - and parked for free, so didn't 'have' to go to liddle to buy something .(they have number plate recognition thingies). I have 2 more bags ready for tomorrow - and a short list for liddle, so I can park a tad closer to the ch shop. And there's 2 more bags' worth waiting in the wings!
Dh has cobbled together a pile of gubbins for the tip, so he'll do that once I'm home.
Dd is valiantly continuing with her sorting and I continue to be impressed by her methods.NST March lion #8; NSD ; MFW9/3/23 Whoop Whoop!!!0 -
Another mellow day at work,which was lovely.
2 more bags to the Sally Army = 8. 2 more ready to go.
. I am getting good at going in there and not staying to look around.
A little liddle shop.
Some digging over of the garden.
100 KB swings + 20 KB goblet squats + 20 KB windmills = 7m15.
Then I ate some dried mango and have lost a bit of a tooth. Sigh. But I can see a dentist tomorrow. Phew.NST March lion #8; NSD ; MFW9/3/23 Whoop Whoop!!!0 -

I'm not in pain, thanks. But was mightily relieved to get a dentist appt for tomorrow. Esp as they close at 1pm!
I had soup for my tea, with bread soaking in it, and cheese and chopped up apple. I have had 10 fruit + veg today!
Plan to take dd to liddle tomorrow after school, for her to buy some bulbs/seeds. I can also take 2 more bags to the SA. Yay!NST March lion #8; NSD ; MFW9/3/23 Whoop Whoop!!!0 -
