I am so chuffed. I am waiting for the contract to arrive with the salary on it but popped in today to find out what syllabus i have to write lessons for and to borrow a textbook. Lesson writing starts on Monday. My classroom is lovely!

Went to new job today to see what they are interested in me doing and also bought lovely fresh groceries (total cost £36 including two taxis) I also went for a meal out with a friend so good to do something. I treated her so another £40 spent!

You have to celebrate, please don't feel guilty.

Hurrah the plan from now on is to chill, tidy, prep notes, walk a few miles daily (as i weigh 64kg!!!!) which is not good. Whatever the weather i will do this. I am so excited. I am going to start tomorrow even if it is raining.

Sounds great!
If the weather is really bad one day, then walk up and down the stairs several times instead. Do it a couple of times throughout the day. That will keep momentum going.
Gardening is good exercise as it's bending, sitting, standing. 
Get off the bus a stop or two earlier and walk the rest of the way.
Main thing to do is counteract the inactive times against some form of movement. 

Have a good weekend.

That's brilliant. I am going to tidy and do a walk today and then chill. I did a small walk and spent the day in bed, so tired! lol. Tomorrow i wanted to go to the seaside but i have plenty of urgent gardening to do. I bought some cornflower plants today too over social media £15 spent. (I am spending an awful lot this week)

You deserve a treat and it’s lovely that you could afford to take a friend out. I’ve done the same in the past just so I could go out. 

Garden flowers sound lovely. Hope the weather is kind to you today don’t overdo things in all the excitement ☺️

Skinty you are so right. I am taking it easy. A few simple house jobs and gardening daily and from Monday some work for old (admin) and new job. The weather is glorious today. I'm just so glad that it is dry. 
Jobs to do (First day of hols): 
1. Clear weeds in front garden. 
2. Clear weeds in back garden path, 
3. Plant extra petunias. 
4. Vacuum house. 
Ps i have treated myself to some new blouses on fleabay as will need them for new job as it is a smarter workplace. I will add up the cost later but it is quite a bit (40 i think all second hand though) 

It is 6pm and it started to rain so i put slug pellets out!

You're doing well.
Think of the £40 as being an investment for your new job, it's money well spent.
