  • Woo! Double digits! NSD no.10 for me!
    Will need to buy some shopping tomorrow as it's my turn to get the big meat order from the butcher, will probably be around £50-£60 but it lasts us a good few weeks and we only need salad/veg and milk top-ups the rest of the time (which BF has been paying for :D)

    Cycled to/from work again today. Not as dizzy as I was yesterday, but still uncomfortably hot and sweaty. I wish they had showers at work!

  • mothernerd i wouldn't know where to store such a toilet roll stash. Till after Christmas we'd need at least 90, about 6 a week. Lol

    I have nine foot ceilings so they are going on top of the wardrobes
    (spare quilts and pillows are already up there).
    My mission in life is not only to survive,but to thrive and to do so with some Passion, some Compassion, some Humour and some Style.

  • Reporting in a NSD on Tues and Weds which takes me up to 12 so far.


    Hoping today will be NSD also but from tomorrow onwards it could get spendy as got a list of things DS needs for Uni so need to buy all of that.


    Everyone is doing fab and I am so grateful you have embraced my challenges.

    Autumn is one of my favourite seasons.

    Not much to report. Hopefully another SFD today, making it 11. I think I should reach my target or more.

    Started booking gym classes for next week after having a week off.

    I asked about the holiday club for the second October week and it will be £20 cheaper than budgeted, so that goes to the kitchen fund.

    Till later

  • Morning Everyone

    20th and 21st September

    Been a hectic couple of days. Doctors appointments, babysitting unexpectedly and trying to get organised for our holiday. Double checked travel arrangements – trains aren't running between Edinburgh and Newcastle so having to be bused to Berwick. Bit of a pain but our friends are picking us up there so at least there is no disruption to our onward journey otherwise we would have missed the connecting bus and had an additional two hour wait.

    Have had to buy some things so no NSD days and only minimal walking.

    I have, however, been powering on with the clearing out. Tidied both freezers, fridge and kichen cupboards (including the dreaded under sink again!). Hope to do some more tomorrow and catch up with writing a few more cards.

    Have a good day
    Have adventures. laugh a lot and always be kind.
  • Morning Turtles.

    Failed yesterday as I needed to stop into SM for dinner. Need to plan ahead better. Lessons learned this month and I 'must do better' next month.

    Apologies I have really not got into this months challenge, been spending mainly on repairs and items needed around the house which hadn't set aside any budgets for. Bad planning again.

    I am reading posts each day but useless at posting oops. All change from today, will account for every last penny.

    Well almost managed to read a whole book thanks to this challenge something haven't done in years besides kids ones.

    Gained a SFD yesterday eventually, 3 pounds boots voucher off lady called at house doing a short survey, 5 pounds paid back by daughter which I never thought I would see again. Win win day.

    Managed to change lawn mower blade(thanks to borrowing socket set) so cut grass and finished emptying all summer flowers from tubs.:)

    Yesterday excitement Cockatiel on next doors roof, anyway owners came with blanket and sprig of maize and managed to capture it. 1 hr wasted watching operation. So glad they got it lovely yellow bird:)
