Think my legs are going to drop off. I've been cooking and washing up all afternoon! All this healthy eating involves a lot of work.

Feel like daddy pig in the scottish peppa pig skit - "I'm fat and I wanna be fat!!!!"

(youtube it if you haven't seen it! Think peppa pig meets Rab C Nesbitt... NOT FOR KIDS)

Evening all,

Day two is done and I've already fallen foul to buying lots of lovely food! Tonight's dinner was a selection of lovely cheeses with olives. On the plus side (like lovely food isn't enough of a plus!) I was pondering on here what I could store all my craft bits in and I've discovered that the big, square, Tupperware type boxes the curries are delivered in get thrown away so I now have six and will be on the lookout for more.

I'm quite enjoying proving everyone wrong that didn't believe I would actually leave magazines and take a part time job (especially after bottling out of the garden centre job) but I've done it!

I'm loving driving to and from work and shopping couldn't be easier! My feet still ache a bit but nowhere near as much as I thought they would.

Really happy your job is going well FVD long may it continue.

List for today:
Do something with 30 or so apples that are left that were gifted to me (few more in fruit bowl and then chop and freeze/stew the rest I think)
Check banking
Reconcile, just for points cc
Both smalls to dancing, pay next months subs from dancing budget pot
Meals from stores
Quick vacuum round
Some sort of excerise for free - hopefully outside as it's good for my MH
Try out new needle and see if I can do the cowl on my jumper, sew on buttons I bought yesterday
Order some wool for my next project, found a site with it half price

Right, quick cuppa then I must get on. Purps.

determined_new_ms

Morning purps - some form of exercise sounds good!

Hurrah to the weekend. Feeling a little better but still not myself. Will do some exercise & a meditation to hopefully help...

Madam has a party this afternoon and to be honest I don't feel up to it. I can speak to oh but in our relationship this is my area so he will be reluctant....

Card & wrapping paper from stash

need to try to fix our washing machine before we have to spend out on another. This month has been so expensive!

if the repair doesn't fix it then do some handwashing to get madam's uniform washed

all meals from stores - will make the pizza today

photo and list a few things on fleabay

NSD

listen to audio book. Do something just for me - sewing, start a project - anything to absorb my mind and stop it from worrying incessantly

feed worms

Ok that's all I can think of right now.

Had some out of date food given to me yesterday so that's my food for this week. Really happy as managed on stuff I had in the house for the last 3 weeks hence no money spent at all.

Hi everyone :hello:
Huge apologies for my absence the past couple of weeks - I too had fallen foul of the mental health monster and my anxiety was out of control. Just kept my head down, kept everyone informed and suddenly felt better at the beginning of this week. It's just taken me that long to get back on track at work, and I'm struggling with tiredness as well as I'm not sleeping well. So I've basically been doing my job and nothing much else for the past couple of weeks. Hope that everyone else is doing OK... love to you DNMS and Dawn. And much love to Foxgloves as well - so sorry to hear your sad news.
As for mse - I feel like a fraud. I'm getting new windows and doors on Monday, and whilst I've gotten them for a bargain price so that is mse - I am spending a lot of money and I feel terribly guilty about it all. Took me so long to get out of debt and now I'm spending the savings I've worked so hard to put by - it's a worry for me.
PF - I can only imagine that at 325 stitches you must be making a blanket. You can buy long knitting needles that will probably hold that many (50cm), or as Foxgloves suggested, a circular needle perhaps? I do knit but prefer crochet so not sure how helpful I can be.
HK - hope the cat is ok. We have one that is similarly attached to our dd (who is 13), When she goes out with her friends, the cat just waits at the door for her to come home.
