That's a positive start to the morning!
Split your lawn into small sections, resting after doing each one.
Raid your cupboards and see what else you have and can make do with today, there's no need to worry about trying to get to the shops. Your meal may not be what was originally planned, but will certainly hit the spot.

Glad to hear you have sorted bill. One less thing to worry about. Hope you feel better soon, can you leave the grass until next week when you are on holiday & hopefully feeling better ? It really exhausted me yesterday & I wasn’t ill like you 

I have sent you some info on shopper apps to get groceries delivered same day from local shops. Delivery costs vary depending on your postcode and how far you live from the store but worth it if you are too ill to shop

The grass was becoming almost too much to manage so i am glad i have done just over half. It is a big garden and i am getting there! I'm making do with food i have in the house and constantly checking my sugar levels so i dont need any extra! The weather is simply glorious and I am glad I enjoyed it in the garden. Time for a rest now. Then back I go! 

I have spent money on compost as i didnt have any £15.98 (!!!!!), it would have cost this for taxi fare and a bag and i got two bags from online for this price. I will deduct this from food money! I will plant out my lovely petunias and lobelias later this week once i have cleared weeds.

Hope your tummy feels better. Take it easy in the garden.

You've got to make sure you eat the right things due to bloods and perhaps a small gardening budget can be found, so it doesn't come from your food budget.

Hope your rest was beneficial, but don't overdo it in the garden and take some water out with you.

Lol. I ate 4 rich tea biscuits for breakfast, naan and salmon for lunch. Strictly no veg or fruit or dairy. So far i am ok but still a bit delicate!!!

It has taken all day but I have just mowed the grass, the garden looks much better as long as you dont look too closely! I'm going to give the flowers a really good watering tonight and then everyday i will work on a weed project. It has to look much better before my parents come! 

MF normally there would be a gardening budget but i have two birthdays this month and also i spent extra on my gas/electric so I'm improvising. I'm really curious about how much money i have left from my dd's. I think for another two months i have a bit extra. 

I have just realised that i will have summer hols in 6 weeks. So relieved that I am still employed. The new job would have cost a lot to get to so the key is to focus on health and driving theory.

Any food is better than none when feeling off colour.
With weeding set a 1ft x 1ft square, weed that. If you feel ok, do another square, if you don't try the next day. It's visually more manageable and less daunting.
2 paydays isn't far away and you can get through the next few months. Slowly, carefully and cautiously, just in time for the holidays when you'll need a sorbet budget!

Bless you! The tummy bug is still here! I had a big lie in and just got up. The plan for today is to walk to corner shop for crackers, bananas and bread.
Then do marking
I cleared the green house of weeds! A few more to sort tomorrow and it is clear. I then did a bit more. There is a huge pile of weeds as much as could be collected in 3hours in a pile drying out!

Just got rid of my old piano. Surprisingly it was bought for a quite high price.

That's going to be a lot of weeds.
Hopefully tomorrow you'll feel better.
