Wow, that's fabulous news on the tickets P*M, have you got long to wait? You must be sooooo excited! Well done for bagging such great tickets! :T

Not too long, beginning of September. Not wanting to wish my life away but it can't come soon enough! :j

Hope you've both had a lovely, relaxing day x

If you use it though Alchemilla, in the graph & milestones part set the settings to actual rather than predicted weights, otherwise the milestones seem to become quite weird in respect of relative timeline etc! X

I'm sure it will come round quickly, given we're practically in April now and I still feel like it's the new year!

Yes, a relaxing weekend thanks, just what was needed! Hope you've had one too!

Oooh, Habi, you could do a sticker/colouring countdown chart to the concert... It's only a few months away...!

Hope everyone's having a great weekend!

Things I did:
* Work on both days, but in phases so it didn't feel like I was working the whole time;
* Housework all done except for bathroom, will tackle that in the week;
* Bit more present planning for Mr. Hbbb's birthday on Friday;
* Henhouse cleanup;
* 15 mins declutter marathon in [STRIKE]man-cave[/STRIKE] garage

Things I didn't:
* Weed lettuce bed (watered it though), must try to get another row sown in the week!
* Catch up with as many diaries as I'd hoped ... will make better effort in the week!
* Finish planning my goals for April. Will sort and reveal on Tuesday.

MFW actions: NSD over whole weekend! Full update tomorrow for last day of the month update to MOP / finances spreadsheet. Kind of looking forward to updating signature for a new month too!

Grey clouds: none at all, enjoying the moment!

Silver linings:

* Mr. Hbbb on the mend.
* Lovely dinner with mum and step-dad last night, followed by card playing and messing about. All good!
* Lie-in this morning courtesy of Mr. Hbbb taking a turn at chicken breakfast.

Daily Declutter: Fleabay listings end tonight, three items have bidders so should definitely sell.
Mancave declutter ended up with list of stuff onto Freecycle - bag of old linen now going to cat shelter and two bags of bubble wrap should be going to someone moving house. Both should be picked up tomorrow so shall count them out then. Total so far = 102 / 365

Simple pleasures:
* Some Mother's Day treats and surprises! Didn't expect to see my eldest boy as he lives and works up in London and he came down 2 weeks ago for my mum's birthday. What I didn't know was that whilst he was down he (with help from his brother) hid some goodies for me and phoned today to take me on a virtual treasure hunt to find them! Great fun and lovely surprise! Saw youngest bobbin and spoke to middle one and should see him when he's off work during week (all my sons work shifts which include weekends), so great to be able to speak to them all at some point!
* Light evening, dinner in daylight!
* Walking dogs with Mr. Hbbb.
* A cheeky G & T in honour of weekend!
* Mum bringing her birthday cards round last night to show me how many she got and who from. There was something so touching about this, I can't really express it! Must spend more time with her!

So there we are ... a happy ending to a pretty strange couple of weeks!

Hope everyone else has had a great weekend. Hugs to those who need them, especially those ladies who can't have their mum hugs. X

Very true A*M, thing is closest I'll get to a Kate Bush concert is my bad hair days and my rather unique singing ability! I've started a chart for my weight loss though :T

Happy Monday all!

Things I did:
* Work, but very productive today (worryingly this might be my peak for the week)! :rotfl:
* Phone surgery and made Mr. Hbbb an appointment for follow up as per A & E instructions.
* Walked dogs 3 x round little park at lunchtime
* Just over 6,000 steps achieved today
* Washed all the chicken pots outside at 6 pm just because it was still daylight and I could!
* Spoke to doorman who is finally coming to measure for template tomorrow!

Things I didn't:
* Weed lettuces

MFW actions: end of month figures sorted. the slightly aggravating news is that if the boiler hadn't broken down, I'd have met the £109,000 by April target as grand total currently owing is £109,298. I had OPs of £688 but had to take £340 back out to pay boiler man! Still , all going in the right direction, so have adjusted goal to end of April and should be well on track to meet it, provided we put all we can into it! This still puts us 7 months ahead of where RBS think we should be, so it's all good really!

Grey Clouds: Weird conversation with my own GP who phoned me. She's also going to be trying to speak to the consultant but in the meantime wants me to come down and have the baby's HIB injection as my lack of resistance to this (penicillin resistant bug) was apparently at the root of my pneumonias last year and the tests show that, despite having had it so badly, I've built up no immunity to it - quite the contrary in fact! So jab, wait, then more tests to check on mad behaviour of immune system.

Silver lining: I see all of the above as preventative and as no reason at all to feel worried! I will continue with my health goals regardless! :T

Daily Declutter:

2 x old duvets and bag of old sheets picked up by man for the cattery; 2 x L*dl bags full of bubble wrap picked up by moving house Freecycler, so 5 bags of stuff out = total 107 / 365.

Simple pleasures:
* Mr. Hbbb made it through a day of work and only has to get to the end of the week then he has a holiday!
* Cheerful postman
* Updating mortgage spreadsheet
* Thinking about my goals for April

Hope everyone's good!
