    Evening!

    Good day here...

    Today = NSD number 7

    Really getting creative with left overs haha and pleased I've not bought any new food yet. Haven't really done much towards in the way of mindfulness, but on target with other things.


    Today I am grateful for:
    • Work colleagues for providing a laugh
    • A bright, cold, sunny day
    • A warm, dry home to come back to
    Have a great evening folks x

    My life is full of abundance and prosperity

    We spent today. I spent my boots voucher I got for Xmas, DH bought DD some books and needed milk. Treated ourselves with a takeaway too. Felt nice to treat but back on it tomorrow.

    So still on 5 NSDs so far.

    Work was good today, got loads done. Same again tomorrow.

    Got the yougov survey app on my phone now, I'm £1.50 in, long way to go before cash out at £50 haha!

    Still no refund on the costume. Getting ready to pounce.

    Does anyone crochet here? I have a design I want to do but it's too intricate to do it in a granny square pixel style pattern. It'd end up 3x4meters! Has anyone ever done a regular plain blanket and then plaited a much thicker wool and tacked it on in a desired pattern?
    I don't want to just surface stitch through the blanket in the pattern because the lines would be too small and lack any kind of definition. This will be an Xmas present for 2018, so want to get started soon!

    Grateful today for Chinese food, cuddles with DD and an early bed!

    Nsd 5 today. It's been cold and dreary here today. I definitely needed a Monday motivational boot up the bottom this morning. Dinner at my sisters tonight- totally grateful for my wonderful sister. I adore spending time with her and her family.

    Was a spend day. Had to pay solicitor £5 to witness my signature on a form required by the building society for my Mum's account, as I received her will today. Handed it into the building society.
    Dropped a few bits off to the local Salvation Army.
    Picked up my prescription. Used my pre payment prescription certificate.
    Grateful for:
    Doing some bits in the flat, including some decluttering.
    Going to bingo with friend.
    Won money at bingo, so it covered my evening there.
    Had dinner around my friend's place.
    Nearly finished dealing with the major things that need to be with my Mum's passing. Only have to get the headstone for the grave. The other things that need to be done can be done over a period of time.
    Having a good night's sleep.
    Doing quite a bit of walking today.
    Got the self care book delivered.
    Got the natural deodorant delivered.
