    Today has been quite uneventful, I'm really pleased to say. I took a different train this morning and travelled in with a friend who had to come all the way into London to get to his job.

    I've hardly spent any money this week other than the budgeted commute. My food stocks are bare so I need to get that fixed, possibly tonight if I'm not too tired. Lots of fruit and healthy items! No shopping while hungry!

    My weekend is now here and I'm excited for more clearing out. Sadly, there was a house I saw on the market that I'm really interested in, but today it's STC :( Even so, the next house I see I want to be immediately ready for. I do have to say, this particular house had been on the market for over a year! I look at it and love it and .... BOOM - it's gone! :D

    Mr 3rd time lucky is still on holiday but sending me some lovely messages. It's all feeling very exciting.

    It's almost Friday!!!! Yay!!!! :D

    Ha ha Sam, I had to look up what twitterpated means. From someone who loves being single, I'm surprised at how I'm reacting to it all.

    Emergency supplies of food is here! I couldn't carry much as it's heavy things, but I did get enough to last me until my radio show finishes tomorrow and I can get a "proper shop" done.

    Thank you for your lovely message. I'll pop along into your diary to see your updates shortly. MTx

    I'm a big believer in the right things being put in our path, if we know we're on that path.

    I love that picture Rosa. Thank you for adding it here. It's really made me smile. We'll see how twitterpated he is after we meet! I've changed a lot since I last saw him all those years ago! :o

    No work for me today, although I do have 2 trainees in tonight, so 6 hours at the studio later. I'm able to present tonight though so feeling excited about that. Plus, my show is all ready. I just need to print off my talking topics and I'm done.

    I had a lovely long lie in this morning. I'm up and started on the health routine while I'm online! Now my finances are taking shape, it feels like my energy and focus naturally moves to the next stage, which is my health. The scales haven't really moved this week, but that's absolutely fine as these things take time and I'm feeling good and doing well.

    I need to find some time for a charity shop drop off or two, and to also replenish the charity shop stocks. It'll sound like I'm doing this forever as I can only carry a few bags in at a time!

    Right! Off for a shower now, then I'll:

    Write a shopping list
    Print off talk topics for today's show
    Fill at least 3 bags with charity fodder
    Take charity fodder to their charity home
    Start on tomorrow's show
    Get out there and get stuff done!!!

    Have a great Friday everyone! It's sunny with blue skies and it's FRIDAY! Life feels good!

    Apologies if I've mentioned this before, but some charities - like the British Heart Foundation - will pick stuff up if you've got a fair bit. I've sent a lot to them like that over the years.

    Thank you Nora. I'd totally forgotten that! I'll find their number and get cracking on more fodder for them.

    It's so nice clearing so much stuff out! I may set up in a little motorhome with my measly belongings if this continues!!!
