A little penguin's ramblings!

I was so sure I'd posted yesterday! I wonder if I wrote it and then forgot to post it hmmm.

So today has been fun and productive with lots of positives despite my godson being sick on me!
- 5 cooking magazines decluttered
- niece's 1st birthday party which was lots of fun
- chatting to a man by the canal as we watched the geese skating
- a good chat with my brother and SIL when we dropped off some bits from the party
- OH booked our trip to celebrate his 40th - to New York in August!! (More saving to be done!)
- OH said he'd pay for my new running trainers (we're doing a NAtional Trust night run in a couple of weeks) and he collected them after work.
- we've made plans to go to friends' tomorrow evening
- cancelled gym membership
- changed 2 monthly subscriptions to one that costs less than either of the originals to give me a small treat each month for less outlay
I think that's enough positives for 2 days put together! Though yesterday we also had a board games night and although I lost miserable at Monopoly, I won Bendomino

Happy New Year diary!

Yesterday was the first NSD of the year and today we have decluttered the kitchen in a big way! Many things thrown out/packed in a box for the local charity shop. Very satisfying and I can see everything in the cupboards now!

We had a lovely new year and spent the evening with friends and family which was so nice. I then spent yesterday creating trackers for my Happy Planner to track habits, things we've watched, books I've read and places we've been throughout the year. I still need to create a savings tracker but that can be tomorrow's unwind from work job.

I'm back at school tomorrow so we've spent a few minutes getting stuff prepped in the slow cooker so nothing needs doing to prepare it tomorrow! I'm a little worried I won't wake up in time....I've been relishing my lie ins even though I've set my alarm for 7 each day (that's 1.5hrs later than on a school day!)...so it's just about bed time for me today!

Today's positives:
- watched HP8 and Eddie the Eagle with OH
- decluttered and tidied kitchen
- worked with OH to prep tea for tomorrow
- farm shop trip to get meat for the month
- bath with lovely bubble bar bought in the Boxing Day sale

So much for 3 positives everyday! It's all gone to pot already with going back to school. Last week was sooooo hard and I had several mini meltdowns over the weekend. But today has been so much better and I feel a bit more on top of things. I've even found time to come on here! And I'm going to help OH with the shopping after we've had a cuppa
We weren't impressed to get up this morning to find someone has been through the car. OH unsure if he left it unlocked or the keys were close enough for someone to be able to open it. Extremely lucky that nothing was taken and that it wasn't completely trashed...just the instruction book out of the glove box, all the rubbish moved and the seats tilted forward so they could look in the boot. Keys will now be kept as far away from the car as possible and OH has ordered a camera.

So today's positives-
*2nd HIIT workout of the year
*feeling more on top of work
*not feeling constantly like I'm about to cry!
*will be going grocery shopping with OH
*time to catch up on journalling

So a pretty good day really
