Get a grip !

Hope you've bumped up the rent.

Try and focus on some rest and if you're determined to do some tasks, pick easy ones.

i agree with MF. Sometimes you just have to take it easy to cope. I hope you are ok. It will get better.

Don't blame you for having a delivery. Meals look great and I'm envious of you having a BBQ again! One day I will buy one.

Hope your week goes well and work eases up.

Your meal plan sounds great skint_yet_again. I absolutely love my food and this all sounds delicious!

Yum, that looks lovely, I never plan all those lovely meals like you which is why i end up snacking on rubbish and getting big. It's going to rain here for the rest of the week which is great for the garden so no chance of bbq for me! I hope you can enjoy a bbq over the long weekend.

Lovely meal plan

We’ve had rain tonight for the first time in ages. Good for the garden I suppose. Whole of the bank holiday looks wet apart from Sunday according to the forecast. Will be back to walking the dog in the rain every morning. 

Finally got an email from the range apology for non delivery of sun parasol & confirming now with courier. I will believe it when I see it. It will probably arrive now it’s raining! 

Made a batch of chilli for tea & leftovers portioned up & in the freezer.

Planted needed a drink and hopefully it's just passing weather.

Do get the fizzy wine on ice in readiness for your delivery, it should arrive this time.

Hurrah it’s the weekend, payday yesterday and a bank holiday on Monday 🥳

The weather forecast is sunshine & showers, could be worse, they had snow near here yesterday. 😳

My planter fasciitis is v painful at the moment. I got new laces on amazon 2 pairs £2.19 and am wearing my walking shoes with inserts the podiatrist made for me before, but not much improvement 😩 also doing some physio exercises. Hopefully it will pass by the summer. Last year I spent all summer in walking sandals with memory foam insoles which helped. I have just bought a new pair with delivery £40 but worth it if they work. Just too cold to wear them yet 🥶 

Hoping to have a no spend weekend. I treated myself to kfc delivery last night paid from monthly entertainment budget. Not much planned for next few days. Will be dog walking every day. Hopefully meet up with a friend for a dog walk one morning. Lots of stuff needs doing but I have not regained my mojo. Hope to at least 

1. check / inflate tyres for free at home with machine DF bought me 2019 for  xmas. 

2. Batch cook some meals 
3. cut grass & tidy shrubs. Most of my garden is low maintenance, borders are covered in heavy duty weed free membrane (tool station) & slate (b&m). My DF gave me a lightweight hover mower so no grass clippings to pick up/ dispose of. 
4. Disinfect the patio with a bucket of diluted zo flora & long handled, stiff bristled, garden brush to get rid of nasty dog niffs
5. Wash down upvc front door & bay window, just a quick slosh with a bucket of soapy water, sponge & squeegy 

Hope you all have a good bank holiday weekend & get to see some sun ☀️
