I have two little kittens. Well not really kittens anymore, they're 7 months old now! Got them when they were 8-9 weeks old. Can't believe how time has flown. Still have pictures from when they were little bundles of fluff, now they're these huge majestic kitties. They've spent most of the day napping on my legs which unfortunately means they'll be throwing themselves around the building tonight haha.

They sound adorable. Lucky to have good home with you too. Hope you feel better for having a cry.

If you've read from the beginning you'll know I have various health issues. Some days I'm okay but today is not one of them.

This morning I literally rolled out of bed, it was the only way to get out since my hip did not want to move without making me cry, slowly limped down the stairs and then kicked the kittens. Not on purpose of course, little monkeys were hiding and stepped out under my feet.

They are fine and have forgiven me in return for food of course.

Todays to do list -
- Declutter kitchen
- Two/three loads of laundry
- Clean out fridge
- Clean bathroom
- Go freebie hunting online
- Unpack at least 3 boxes/bags from the move
- Do some surveys

Yeah I feel much better, had my cry and some cuddles with the kittens. Got tucked up in bed and had a lovely phone call with the new man. Made me feel much better.

Sorry you had a bad start. It must be so hard experiencing pain like that. Hugs. Glad you feel a bit better now.

Thank you, it was a rough couple of days with my hip playing up. But I've battled through and so long as I rest it plenty and am careful with not putting too much pressure on it or twisting it I can no walk again with minimal pain. It did however mean I'm a tad behind schedule.

So what did I accomplish off the to do list?
- Declutter kitchen Half done, still got one side and one box left to sort through
- Two/three loads of laundry
- Clean out fridge
- Clean bathroom
- Go freebie hunting online
- Unpack at least 3 boxes/bags from the move
- Do some surveys

So not too bad.


Todays to do list
-Finish decluttering side
-Finish sorting last box
-Clean oven
-Clean out fridge
-Put away groceries (they get delivered tonight)
-Two loads of laundry
-Clear off dining table
-Freebie hunting
-Clean out litter trays (I empty regularly but Thursdays are when I give them a full deep clean)

I'm also dog sitting today as the kittens were missing her haha

Well done on all you did manage today especially with your poorly hip.

Well well well, where have I been? I had my X-Ray and my bones are fine but my physical exam showed up some stuff. All they can suggest is physical therapy because that MIGHT help the issue, in the meantime I have some really heavy duty painkillers kicking my butt and making me feel human-ish again.

I have been doing some decorating, visiting family etc so I really haven't managed to get on much. But it's almost a new month so I've sat and worked on my budget and debt repayment plans. I've also looked up my credit score on clear score. Ouch!

The average for the UK is 380, for my area is 304 and mine is less than 100 right now. Out of 700!! That's given me a bit of a kick up the backside.

Tomorrows to do list-
-Organise the bedrooms
-Dishes
-Two loads of laundry
-Tidy up the lounge
-Book grocery delivery for Wednesday
-List some items on eBay
-Unpack the few remaining boxes from the move
-Hoover the house
-Organise and declutter the craft nook downstairs
-Measure up all the rooms and finally organise a floorplan to make life easier for future designs and rearranging

June Challenge
I've set a budget of £75 for the full month for groceries

Good to hear from you.

I've had a good hard think today and realised something - I push myself too hard! I'm supposed to be resting and recovering, not redecorating. Now don't get me wrong, I still plan to redecorate but I also need to overhaul my life!

So instead of todays to do list I've moved some furniture around and am doing some laptop stuff. And as of tomorrow I will be hitting myself with tips and tricks from the old style board including a bit of flylady action on my home.

From now on instead of planning out my day and being disappointed, I'm just going to crack on and list what I accomplished afterwards and watch myself improve rather than push myself too hard.

So far today I have
Moved furniture
Painted two cupboard doors (only 4 more and a drawer to go!)
Socialised
Cooked
Fed the animals

I'll update this before I go to bed tonight

I'm currently sat meal planning for the month. I'm planning to do an online shop to be delivered wednesday. I want to make the most of the stuff in my freezer, because what's the point in it being there if I don't use it?

My freezer currently contains
2.75kg mince
500g summer fruits
650 chicken breasts
4 turkey breast steaks
diced turkey thigh (unsure of weight)
454g sausage meat
4 chicken burgers
1kg shortcrust pastry
500g puff pastry

I've not listed pantry stuff as it's not got much in at the minute, I need to clean and restock so I'm going to treat it as empty.
