NSK: MAY the Odds Be Ever In Your Favour!!!

Ooh thanks for the tom sauce idea MagicCat, I may even have some spicy veggie and tom sauce in the freezer!

shyspender - please let me know how it goes?

Well I am pooped! Was paired with a chap rather more powerful than me in kickboxing today, my arms are exhausted from the pad holding! Of course, clever me decides to compound this with a strength session... So smart I am not. In fact, I'm quite ready for bed! I did try out an intense but excellent stretch for my hips though, they get very tight and tense which I think contributed to an injury I picked up. So that is on the plan to do regularly too!

Also, SFD 4/15 and check in 5/31 (on fire this month... Or should that be catching fire?!:rotfl:)

Today I have been writing an assignment and it's going to be a late one, means I haven't done much else apart from make a lovely pork curry as I was craving one! So there is my thanks for the day lovely comfort food in the form of curry!


Hope you all have had great BH weekends and will catch up with your goings on later in the week as tomorrow is a busy one.

Failed on all accounts today except dog walk:( one good thing is DH said if I want to achieve a sfd we should do it together and agree the days in advance. First one is planned for tomorrow.:)

One of my uncle's has had to give up his beloved allotment (due to his horrible wife, and she is a nasty piece of work) and he dropped round lots of raspberry and blackberry bushes, leeks, onions, beetroot, carrots and mange tout, all ready to go in the ground. So have managed to organise with my auntie to get into her garden tmrw so I can do some frantic weeding and get everything in the ground. Am going to take DD into town in the morning and hit the pound shops, see if I can get some cheap compost and then get all my seeds going. It's a bit late to be starting but due to the situation with my auntie's garden (large guard dog and getting childcare) I can't get in there whenever I want. Am tempted to take half my lawn up and do it in mine!

If you have B&M store near you apparently they are the cheapest for compost, so my friend tells me.

Thank you

Shyspender hope you are ok after your bad news, hugs

SFD number 2 today

Nothing much to report, except feeling strangely content tonight. Perhaps it's the knowledge that there are only 4 more days left until the exam kids leave, 14 more work days until half term and 49 more work days until the summer holidays :rotfl:

Hi everyone!
Also loving hanging out and just pottering around with family today. All paying guests finally left and I am loving having the house to myself! Left stuff piled on dining table, towels in bathroom, just cos I could! Long got soak in the bath tomorrow evening I think

Went to local forest park with the outlaws today - they were nervous of leaving their motor in a secluded car park, so we used the main one with all the facilities...so I lost my NSD at the parking meter, as felt I had to contribute. Turned out well in the end, lovely long walk, bit of quality time for DD and her gparents, and we were bought tea and DD a cake in the nice cafe at the end. I resolved to go to the park more often...but to park in the quiet car park and walk towards the facilities rather than other way around

Went to see DDs mates playing in a gig outside a pub this evening but it was rained off..we all hung about in a will it wont it go on kind of way, and I was so glad DD is not demanding...she wasnt thirsty when we first got there so I got away without buying a drink or anything, as eventually, it was all off. So back to a mates for a cuppa and then home. I didn't do many of my jobs but I did just get around to listing some bits on Eb and to sorting out some longer bnb bookings for the summer.

Quite chuffed that despite no NSD's, I spent less than £7 this bank hol weekend, and we did a lot!!

Daily check-ins 6/31
SFDs 4/15
LTWs 4/19
Exercise days 4/20
ISA savings £33.25/£50
Food: £29.11/£150
Birthday fund: £10/£40 saved
Car fund: £25/£100 saved
Entertainment: £0/£120
Petrol: £0/80
Misc spends: £20/£100

My main spend yesterday was £20 on a new chest of drawers There's a couple of scrapes on it, but it's in otherwise good condition and the drawers haven't collapsed so it's in better nick than the one it's replacing!

Today will be another day with exercise. We're off to a gig later and I have £10 set aside from my entertainment budget for that If I don't buy us any drinks then it'll be a SFD too. I'm aiming to come home with my £10 note in tact!

Dinner tonight is the last of the roast chicken from Sunday which I'm making in to jambalaya. Not bad for a medium chicken considering it fed two of us on Sunday, four last night and two again tonight :money:
