A whole new world, for now

Snap!  You've made your diary reappearance the same day as me!😀👍
Glad to hear that you feel able to post and that you're up to seeing friends. 

Re those tickets - today my friend was telling me that her husband managed to grab two after sitting there online for ages - he said do you want them, they're £500 each? That's £500 each at Wembley Stadium up in the highest gods!  She said although she'd love to have gone she told him no way, even though he offered to get the tickets for her upcoming special birthday. 😳
Pleased that the feature bucket appears to be on its way out!😂

Hey SSG, I did notice the coincidence. Great to see you again.  

Well today got off to a good start with a pb win for me and a smaller one for dh.  His is automatically reinvested while mine will initially go into the building work pot.  That said, nothing has been heard from the builder. Fingers crossed he’s not doing a disappearing trick.
the downside of the wins was that I looked at where my pb challenge was sitting and realised that I’d made a mistake previously and we have less than I thought so sig now updated.

today will be a manic day with lots needing done for different clients so I need to get a wiggle on.
today I am grateful for
pb wins
yesterday being zero spends
dd achieving some clarity

Thanks for the good cheer everyone. I haven’t disappeared again, I was just ridiculously busy with 3 early starts including yesterday when I volunteered for 7 hours at a charity event.  I came home, napped then watched tv.  Was horrified to see there’s no more casualty until Christmas. Maybe if the bbc stopped overpaying presenters and news readers, they could fund shows that people like and follow.

so I got some clients up to date this week, two invoices issued and one paid.  I’ve also been asked to quote for a small piece of work. I attempted to cut ties with a client but that’s proving tricky.  I’ve another busy week coming down the tracks but busy is good as there are medical results pending at the month end so distraction will be needed until then.  

On other news, the builder texted, apologised for the delay and will update me in the next week.  DH listed 3 things on vinted yesterday and one sold overnight.  There are more to go on.

today I spoke to mr wii and I’ve dropped a pound and updated my sig.  that along with comments from greying pilgrim, has encouraged me to get some home made vegetable soup underway.  I love soup and this is better for me and cheaper than the canned varieties. We are also defrosting and doing an inventory of the freezer. I’ve some batched cooked things in there that need to be brought into use. 

I’m determined to get things underway.  Today I am grateful for
people Who pitched in
a scrummy dinner of leftovers yesterday 
optimism starting to creep in

Lots of progress being made

I can only echo your comments on the overpaid TV news readers and presenters!  Would put a few TV football commentators into that mix as well!
