Cheery's buttling diary: tea in one hand, plant pot in the other, running shoes on

Cheery_Daff

Indeed :rotfl: :rotfl:

Been out running in the woods this morning, most autumnal and cheery! Had a lovely long hot shower too so feeling nicely clean and slightly worn out

But I'm in my decorating clothes - planning to plaster a bit of the landing wall - thought I'd got down low enough but the skirting board turned out shorter than we thought so my plastered bit doesn't quite reach :rotfl: Shouldn't take too long (famous last words...)

Cheery_Daff

Oops, forgotten I'd even done that - I did it with filler in the end (not plaster) as it was such a small area - must go back and sand it!

Used up the two lots of celery from the fridge on Sunday with this

celery and lentil soup

Dead simple and actually dead tasty Didn't even blend it, just mashed a bit with a potato masher

Nothing much to report. Apparently I've used over 80% of my phone's data allowance already this month :eek: Usually hit that about the 28th so a few days early - but Arsebook had reset itself to autoplay videos when I scroll past them (normally I only do that when it's connected to wifi) so that's probably it.

Spent £9 on food for work yesterday - now trying to make it last the whole week :eek: :rotfl: Made another batch of muffins at the weekend and some of them did actually make it to work this time :j :j

Right, best get moving... Have a good day all

You've reminded me to check my data use Cheery - thank you! :rotfl:

have you eaten all your work food yet?!

Pippilongstocking

YOu said !!!!.

Awesome

And yes how much food is left.

Cheery_Daff

Yes I noticed that Pippi, not sure how I got away with that rude word! Was in a pub tonight with a no swearing policy - frightening stuff :blink: rofl

Made it with some of the food. Had to buy new flatbreads (deliberately only got enough til Wed as they go a bit hard), crisps (bought a multi pack last week which ran out) and cereal bars (which, ok, I confess I scoffed too many of and replaced them with single finger twixes which I am also clearly going to eat too many of... :rotfl: )

Greying_Pilgrim

Cheery - I'm the same, if there are biscuits or crisps or 'nice' things in the house, I'm apt to eat them quicker than I would if I was buying them individually. Biscuits/sweets are relatively easy for me to not buy in the first place, crisp multipacks however........

Greying X

Ah see i don't actually have that much interest in crisps, but i am rather partial to a wotsit or quaver on my cheese butty Classy

Late night last night and purse stuffed full of receipts from the last week -need to get on the case and sort ynab before the end of the month!

I had a bread binge last night. :eek:
I seldom...almost never... ever... never eat bread BUT when I do eat bread, I go hog wild!!!!! :cool:

EssexHebridean

Crisps, Bread, Cheese. I can demolish large quantities of any of the above without too much trouble. :rotfl:

Cheery_Daff

:rotfl: you pair

YNAB FINALLY done (mostly because I'm avoiding going out for a run :rotfl: ) All reconciled but goodness me was it a big old mess :eek: SO many blithering receipts - I do SO much buying food in dribs and drabs, pint of milk here, bit of food to take to work there, picking up something for tea on the way home... Mr Cheery is meant to be in charge of food shopping but it's all gone out of the window a bit with the decorating etc and I'm the one that's usually out walking past a shop...

... all fine, and it's all the same pot of money :rotfl: but it does mean I end up with a million receipts for £2.50 or whatever - an absolute pain when you don't do the banking every day... let that be a lesson...

And now I should probably get my act together and run. Stupid fancy pants running watch won't even turn on now :mad: But I bought it off ebay about 2 years ago so I have nobody to complain to except you lot So I'm using a phone app tracker thing, but that will need more than about 30% battery...

I *could* just go and run and not track it at all of course... :rotfl: But, well, I had to do the banking anyway... :rotfl:

Small list for the rest of the day:

- run 5 miles
- tidy kitchen
- hoover downstairs
- clean bathroom
- finish filling holes in landing paintwork
- sand down filler in landing walls
- paint over filler
- put up ladders so Mr Cheery can finish painting beams
- eat something wholesome for lunch
- blog post
- pick up damn prescription, damn it! Forgot and now chemist will be shut after my run - do I go on the way? or the way back? Aarrgghh!

:rotfl: I'm sure I'll think of something else to add!
