Morning all,
Just quickly stopping by today, I'll read all your comments later.
I had to buy lunch yesterday and I fear that today may be the same. Very unorganized. I'll try and get a NSD though.0 -
I was going to go to Morrison's to buy two things, but have decided I don't really need them and I should save my money, so I am declaring today as NSD #4.
I am going to gut the house of unwanted things, post some letters, do household admin, go on the exercise bike or go for a walk, apply for jobs, and maybe watch some films.
I wish you all luck today people, there are new offers on shopitize, that's exciting!Debt Free Stage 1 - Completed 27/08/2020

Florence - That's great you were able to stop yourself and sounds like you're going to have a very productive NSD!

Well going out for tea for gs bday and seeing as it's a spendy day bought some bunny food and bread rolls.
Nothing exciting to report in paid 56 pounds off ccards.
Had 2 bunches of lovely flowers yesterday off friend for babysitting her animals last weekend and because she thought I needed cheering up.
Managed to get my landing window curtains up last night - so happy only taken 7 years - can now walk naked to the bathroom lol. Incredibly high so trying to get someone to put rail up was problem. I was so scared standing on the very top of ladder, with dodgy knee, to hook curtains up . Lets just say they aren't coming down anytime soon.

Oooh, I'm starting to feel more normal than I have done in weeks! Still exhausted but the countdown is on. Sorry teacher friends who are in until next Friday but this time next week I'll be at my dd's year 6 leavers prom (seriously) and celebrating the end of term. Struggling on.
Had to come home via Arg0s today to pick up an eBay purchase for ds superhero day at school, and 'fell' into B M as I walked past. Ah well. All useful things - a bit of a grocery top up.
Nothing much else to report. Kids were a pain in the bum (they are tired too). I marked a set of books, and I'm planning an early night.Not giving up

As the hedgecutter man hopefully comes soon, i started my seedlings for my winter crop for my veg patch in front of the hedge. Spinach, kale, broccoli, leeks, some herbs, broad beans, pak choi and kohlrabi i think. We'll see, this year is experiment year so i can take notes for next year.
Had ordered a cheap mechanical kitchen scale to replace my electronic one that had been dropped one too many times. Picked it up from the post office today, only to find a second one behind the bins. Definitely only ordered one. Oh wellDEBT 02/25: total £6100 Debt free date 12/250 -
Speky How often do you forget to make lunch out of interest? Is it worth putting a permanent note to yourself on the back of your front door so you see it every morning? Or setting yourself an alarm on your phone.
Florence You sound very motivated today, hope you got loads done.
Calling how lovely to get flowers, enjoy your new found freedom!
Doingitanyway hope your day off was good. Great decluttering.
Cat eek to Y6 prom. Have you had to shell out much?
Apple & Fmess well done on your NSDs. Oh and what is spanish chicken?
