Thanks 1LuckyLady for getting us started this week.

Things haven't gone badly today but neither did they go according to plan.

Managed to keep the spending low, only buying what was on the list. GC envelope updated. I've had a good look through the stocking presents (i do stockings for 2 children and 4 adults) stash and worked out what I still need to get, pleased with what I already have.

We meal planned for the rest of the week and came up with some ideas for the next few weeks.

All meals from stores. I tried a new recipe for dinner which dd loved and asked for seconds, which is lucky really as I made a double batch. The extra one is going in the freezer and we will have in a few weeks.

I've done FPL, Ashleigh and RM survey.

Heating on selectively and low. We have not lit the stove for a few days as it has been so mild.

We have an early start tomorrow morning, to make things go smoothly we have got our clothes out, planned breakfast, prepared as much of breakfast as we can, packed snacks, planned route and parking.

Sweet dreams BB

Morning all

Woke up at 5.20 this morning although it was a good job because my phone died in the night so no alarm! Must see about batteries for alarm clock at the weekend!

Had a bit of a 'mare just before I left work last night. Realised a large portion of work will have to be re-done. Then my friend was messaging me in a bit of a state so felt pretty done in. Ate a load of cake and had an early night (better than drinking though).

On the plus side re:work several jobs have been saved. Some because we all stated that the people were mission-critical and some have been fitted into new roles. Luckily my two good friends are staying.

State of play yesterday

• If time, KM my tuppaware cupboards. Having some storage issues. Too much in the cupboard. Don't think that I can get rid of much but I think I need to make better use of the undersink cupboard. At the moment it's full with 2 giant tubs of whey protein that OH is trying to use up. He bought some sickly strawberry flavour. It's BOGGIN. - not done
  

Today's mission:

• B/L/D from stores. Must decide on dinner.

• Send mum Christmas pressie wishes - done
• Sort contents insurance. I forgot to renew as it was while we were away
• Overtime

• OH to vacuum through
• Ask OH to make bread
  
• Wash on - critical items first! - done
