    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'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!

    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.

    Clever little cat!  I think she's the one with the brains out of your two pets!😺 They're both so cute though!
    Enjoy your week off. As well as your Friday trip to your friend, I hope you manage to get out and about.
