Happy Monday. Day 1 of my week off 🥳Visit from 🐙today to fit the smart meter.Today’s jobs:
Wash towels
Wash and change bed linen
Clean kitchen
More garden tidying
Meal plan for the week
Look at finances
Walk the dog
Should be NSD 4/12 today, no plans to spend anything.
The new WW plan started today. As always when the plan changes people are moaning online about it. I like to give things a go before making my mind up. I’m used to change with work, they’re changing things all the time, you have to just go with the flow. There’s a couple of live tutorials on it through the app so will try and join one of those.Have a good one ☺️I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)4 -

I'm playing catch-up.
Firstly - does your greengrocer do delivery? Even if they are a bit more expensive you could order what you want and not have it to carry and they may have bargains like larger bags of potatoes.
I'm pretty sure olive trees can be hardy given opportunity to acclimatise. I've seen them out of doors in Switzerland and the snow doesn't stop them living long lives.
Enjoy your break!I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)

Happy holidays.
You have got me counting down to Christmas now when we have next go time off work4 -
The greengrocer doesn’t deliver. I’ll carry on with my combination of supermarkets and the odd local veg box delivery.There’s no heating in the greenhouse so the olive tree isn’t that cosseted 🤣
Christmas has fallen just right this year with it being at the weekend, meaning bank holidays in lieu and using less leave for a decent break.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)4 -

My pets are very naughty, especially the cat 😆
Managed my NSD 4. Have only been to the park across the road with the dog. The smart meter has been fitted and already telling me how much I’ve spent, forgotten how annoying that is 😆
Have got most things done on my jobs list plus a couple of extras. The WW thing this morning was really annoying, lots of negativity, I kept shouting at the screen, good job I was on mute 🤣 Some people just won’t accept change or use their common sense. One woman came up with a negative comment for every positive. How the coaches running it kept their cool I don’t know.I had a very sorry looking aubergine to use up so it’s aubergine and tomato curry for me tonight.Weather permitting we are going to the big garden centre tomorrow. I’ll remember to wear trainers this time as it was much further than I thought last time we went, it took well over an hour. The plan is to stop for a pub lunch on the way back, just to rest my feet a bit 😉I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)7 -
