Apple muncher's number crunching

Took myself off for a lunchtime walk today, so I will definitely get over the 10k mark for once, this year!
Am planning on taking 2 bags to the Sally Army on the way home. Then we can start to fill the 2 replacement bags.
Must do some cutting out of monster fabric tonight, now that my finger is better enough. I have made another template to experiment with. So, more 'proper' hobby and less screen time is in order...remove 2/100; read 1/10; ex 5/100; make /100; lose /10; save /1000; improve 5/100; protein 6/1000 -
Yay - the rain stopped pelting down so the kiddies could go outside at lunchtime! And I got to do my duty and still remain dry.
Last working day of the week and I realise that next week will be much more full-on with fewer breathing spaces. At least it won't surprise me... So I'd best crack on with 'getting stuff done' instead of mooching on here...remove 2/100; read 1/10; ex 5/100; make /100; lose /10; save /1000; improve 5/100; protein 6/1000 -

To do lists just overwhelm me into a state of non-productivity :rotfl:Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became
In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!0 -
That's a very busy day!! :0

Not bad...! But I confess to getting the bus x3 to make it quicker. And after collecting dd, I went up to near aldee yet again, to a coffee shop, and we had a lovely time together.
The curtains are now ironed and hung back up - no more fishbowl living for us.
No craft, just some knitting of dd's cardigan in c0sta. And no marking :rotfl:.
The floor sweep has become a much bigger job and will be done tomorrow afternoon, as it means moving all the furniture around.
The workout was another epic one - over 21 mins to do. Ooph. And I should get around 17,000 steps by bedtime - moving me up from 7th on my list to bronze medal position

Random gnocci comment...DH got gnocci con sprouts for dinner on Monday.0

Gnocchi - just found 4 packets in a bag. Guess what I'll be feeding dh for a while... but not with sprouts...
Dh took dd to dance - yay! And I got on with washing, washing up, hanging the washing up, sweeping the floor and using wetwipes on some random sticky bits. Lovely friend came round with a bike for dd + 2 dressing gowns (hidden for now as faaaaar too big).
Bike is for dd's bday.
Have the Great Edinburgh Cross Country runs on thetelly, so I'll do some more cardigan.remove 2/100; read 1/10; ex 5/100; make /100; lose /10; save /1000; improve 5/100; protein 6/1000
