Things can only get better

Have been quite productive so far. The bedroom has had a thorough clean, bedding changed and in the wash. The dog has been for a good run on the park although we were confined to the bottom end by a football match. Mr SA found himself a nice sunny spot to park his scooter and watch some of the game. While I had my wellies on I fetched the sun loungers out of the shed and put them with the rest of the things being picked up by the council. Meal plan is almost done. 5 Spanish lessons done. 

Just need to keep up this momentum.

SA - I really hope there aren’t another 200 days in January 😂😂😂 which is what you wrote but I don’t know how to quote 😏 my pension on the last day will be a long time coming.
😳😳😳to the cat waking you up. You’re a better woman than me…..my bedroom door would be shut.

Meal plan for next week (just me):

Today - spicy butternut squash stew with herb dumplings (made from yoghurt, flour, herbs and grated cheese) old favourite WW recipe 

Monday - veggie lasagne (from freezer) and salad 

Tuesday - cheesy aubergine bake from new PON Comfort book (trying new recipe)

Wednesday - smoked haddock parcels from WW app

Thursday - cauliflower curry (from freezer) and rice

Friday - garlic and herb lightly dusted lemon sole (Lidl) plus lots of veg

Saturday - spicy bean burger in seeded flatbread, wedges and salad

Mr SA is easy (aka boring) to cook for as he only likes a handful of things so he’s sorted. 

Another old cookbook with nothing I’d make has gone in the charity bag.

Cheesy aubergine bake sounds nice.

I've borrowed the Pinch of Nom Comfort Food book from the library, @Sun_Addict. Have only had a quick flick through it so far, but the recipes defo look like the sort of things we'd like to eat. Looking forward to reading it properly.

Even Mr SA likes the look of a few things in the book.

Morning all, happy Monday.

Apparently it's Blue Monday today, hopefully everyone is feeling the love for Monday 😆 and no one is blue 😊

Monday is always busy work-wise so this morning is flying by.

Struggled to give the kitten her medicine yesterday so this morning I tried the cunning trick of adding it to a very small amount of tuna instead of trying to shoot it down her throat and it worked.

Today's to do:

• Spanish
• Try and finish book
• Quick check of finances
• Lunchtime dog walking
• Finalise tomorrow's Mr M order
• Tidy work desk drawers (already done 1 out of 3)
• Live WW HIIT workout at 5pm
• Washing/ironing
• Clean bathroom
• Water plants

Today will be NSD 6/15 of January. I know I've got an overspend on the grocery budget for last week so this week will be all about trying to keep grocery spends down and use up stocks. I didn't fritter it away though, I bought a few things in bulk that will last a good few weeks so in theory should cut costs. In theory 🤣

OMG I’ve got an interview for another job on promotion 🥳💩😱 Not until next month though so I should know one way or the other about the other one well before then. At least I know I’m good at filling the application forms in 😆

Well done Sun Addict, you've clearly mastered the application forms and nice to have another string to your bow.

Well done 👏
