    The Halloween decorations look great.  We did a Victorian halloween story session at our local NT place yesterday which was nice.  We also watched Hocus Pocus 2 on Disney plus so might watch original tonight. Bette Midler was great. I don't like the clocks going back as the evenings are so dark now it curtails my walks.

    Happy Halloween and happy payday for me.

    I've been in the office this morning but finishing off my day from home. Walking through the city centre on my way in this morning, a woman slipped and fell in some sick - ugh. She was ok thankfully apart from the obvious 🤢

    Finances have been sorted, they don't take me long as my spreadsheet is regularly updated so it only takes a few minutes. The cc balance has been cleared as usual every Monday. An oddment of £5.07 has gone to the Christmas pot, now £543.31. Another windows/door payment has gone out so that balance is now £2,321.18. Tomorrow the direct debits start going out in earnest. 

    Today is NSD 10 for the final day of October, pleased with that.  

    Halloween treats are ready by the door for tonight's trick or treaters. 

    Today's exercise is walking to/from work and a Pilates session later. Should hit 20,000 steps. 

    Tonight's dinner is a new recipe - chickpea, potato and spinach stew from my WW app. 

    Hopefully the washing should be dry enough to iron later as it's been a lovely sunny day.

    Oh that poor lady. Yuck!!

    Tomorrow most of our direct debits go out as well so the account balance will go from looking healthy to not in the space of 24 hours  :D  

    Your dinner sounds lovely.
