My daughter has the above from Amazon , you can get different coloured boxes to match your decor.Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.3 -
Just catching up on your diary...your step count is amazing! The photos of the garden looked lovely with the hanging chair.
I used Wayfair to get a narrow chest of drawers for DS3. The drawers aren’t very deep so would be ideal for make up etc rather than thick jumpers.

Thanks for mentioning Wayfair @Honeysucklelou2. I didn’t think about them and they have exactly what I’m looking for. Also by putting tall bathroom cabinet in the search bar in eBay it’s come up with plenty of possibilities including one I’m probably going to buy subject to measurements. Ready assembled too which is a bonus.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)5

That's Monday done. Have been in the office today.
Totally scuppered my planned NSD by forgetting to take my coffee bags to work 😮 Fortunately the little Co-op nearby sold the ones I normally buy for only £2 (£3 in Mr S!!). Still a pain though when I have loads of them at home. I've left the box in the team locker so this doesn't happen again. Also a pain because I had only just climbed the 12 flights of stairs to the 6th floor only to have to go back down them and do it all again!
On the plus side steps count is already on 20,000.
A miracle happened and I had a £7.47 underspend on the grocery budget last week despite thinking I was going to overspend. New 4 week budget period starts today. £40 surplus from the other budget pots has gone into the personal spends pot. I'm keeping a tighter rein on these pots from now on. Rounded down the surplus amounts and sent the oddments to the Christmas pot.
I have a strength training session in just over an hour. Making a butternut squash and red pepper risotto for my dinner, one of my go to favourites.

Well done on the grocery underspend, @Sun_Addict - I'm afraid to say we went in the other direction with ours.

Our grocery spend was over what we expected thanks to a visit to the farm shop at the weekend.
Although we did get some stuff for the freezer as well so not all as bad as it sounds.2 -
