NST: January 2017

greent

NSD today - paid for today's Zumba on Tuesday and spent the rest of the morning volunteering. Did spend £155 on volunteering related things but will get money back before CC bill arrives so am not including it Have to take DS2 to swimming lesson tonight but they are all paid for ahead

Food all from stores: breakfast - crumpets (found a YS pack in freezer from last June @ 20p for 6 - ate 2 ), lunch - the last tiny bit of risotto and 2 hard boiled eggs and some fruit. Dinner - maybe the soup I made on Tues or maybe just toast - soooo tired that I just want something quick and easy for me.

Today I am grateful for:
* a long hot shower when I finally got home from Zumba and volunteering
* ibuprofen gel for an aching foot (and the bonus was I got given it for free)
* OH finding somewhere to rent whilst away with his new job, rather than staying in hotels - keeps costs down

Hi everyone :hello:
Mad couple of days without a spare second to my name :eek:
I've been hit by a bit of the January blues the past few days. There seems to be a bit of bad news about at the moment and it's getting to me. I've managed one nsd and one small grocery shop, the usual housework and not a lot else to be honest.

I am very grateful for:
My good health, and the health of my family
Having a high level of emotional intelligence
Knowing myself well enough to know I'll be ok in a few days

Greent What sort of volunteering do you do if you don't mind me being nosy?

Cat hugs to you.

Eager Elephant - I now have visions of your turkeys playing tennis! Good luck with containing them and snaffling their eggs.

Spent money on bus hop to local history. Very tired. Going to switch off the laptop and try to get my sleeping pattern right again (late evening doctor's appointment has thrown things off for the last two days).

Today I am grateful for sleep, for easy food and for a card from my mother's cousin.

Morning all,

I was paid yesterday and managed to rack another NSD.

Transferred half my wages straight into the savings account, so I'm skint for the next 5 weeks now.

Went for a brisk walk yesterday - getting quicker at walking round park. Other than that I was not a good girl. Phoned a take away for dinner (can't remember the last time I did that) and did absolutely nothing else around the house.

NSD no. 12.- Haven't spent for 5 days in a row :T
May be a spend day tomorrow thou, Duncan has ripped his bed (he tends to get a little amourous with it when we are having tea, and he can get rough). It's got a separate cushion so we can remove that and put it inside a hard bed.
If there is nothing suitable tomorrow that will be a NSD too.

We are off to view a house tomorrow, looking at the pictures and location it looks like our perfect house. I was dropped to work by BF today (was going to run home but I brought all my kit apart from run shoes ) I walked past house and timed myself to work. A mere 3:05 mins away.
Hopefully we will be able to raise a big enough mortgate, which we'll find out on Tuesday.

Today I am grateful for:
1) Boss asking me what exactly my colleague does. She's supposed to do the same tasks as me, but I do all the work. (I don't mind as I like being busy and having stuff to do) It's nice to see the higher-ups have spotted her slacking thou.
2) My walk home (rather than a run) was quite pleasant, and my work shoes held up nicely over the 2 mile distance, no sore feet.
3) Chicken burgers for tea Yummy

Very annoyed. Left my handbag at the gym this morning in an unlocked locker. Just done a wallet update and I'm £10 short. I can't think of anything I've spent in the past few days so I'll have to put it in my 'unnecessary spends' category.

Better day than yesterday. NSD as had to wait in for plumber. Took him two minutes to replace a part in the cistern. On the plus side I took the opportunity to catch up on lots of little jobs that have needed doing for ages so a lot ticked off my to do lis.
Today I'm grateful for me
Toilet working properly again
Feeling I've been productive
Feeling a lot more positive than I have in the last few days
