NST April 2018: April Fool's Challenge

Fmess

Morning all,

Sorry for my absence, parents evening on Thursday and just too tired last night. SFD number 9 on Thursday but not yesterday as treated friends to a coffee after their stressful week.

Today will be swimming and dog walking and then the cinema which I haven’t been to for years. It also has no rain forecast for the first time all week, yay!!!!

Morning

I'm discovering that I fight against the accountability of having to say what I'm going to do for a month and then giving daily updates. I must do better.

9 NSD
Off and on meditation
I'm not managing to get outside but the sun is currently shining so I'm hoping it stays that way

Today is still NSD 8
Went and did the supermarket shopping list this morning, will do the market in 10 mins. Get it all ready and will bake tomorrow.
Pollen horrid.
Sun shining.
Birds singing.

ETA: Fruitbowl looks majestic!

Oh Kerry Woman - that must have been hard to do, to go back to the ward. Well done you.

Today I am grateful for bonfires and marshmallows, for such a lovely sunny warm day, for time with dd, for the library,for my drumstick knitting actually working, for a good rootle through my stash of crafting magazines and books, for cutting out 2 robin doorstops and a moose.

Today wasn't a NSD. Went swimming this morning, which I really enjoyed, although my back is a bit sore now. Overall glad I can get back into it as I've missed it over the years. Did some chores, got a couple of batches of slow cooker food done, and did some studying. Just been to see my sister and my niece for a few hours with OH, she cooked us dinner.

Today I'm grateful for sunshine! And for all the horses coming home safely during the National (not a fan of that race but my sister made me watch it!).

Another spend day- £37 on some fabric and bits.
No alcohol again. 6 days now.
Grateful for sunshine and a garden to enjoy it in.

LavenderBee

Spend day today on groceries, spent £4.55 thanks to vouchers from MSE :money: Total grocery spend for the month now £86.81/£200. Oh and £2.20 off my £15 gift budget as I picked up a card at the same time.

Did some cleaning this morning before heading out, reckon I'm a good halfway through the spring clean of the kitchen. Tomorrow I need to clean the oven *urgh* and the floor, and run descaler through some of the appliances - then that's another room ticked off my list. I'm getting dangerously close to having to scrub the bathrooms though. Did some knitting, experimenting with a very easy newborn hat

No chocolate today, but have had a mini hot cross bun after dinner and a free cappuccino in Waitrose for lunch.

Grateful for:
The NHS
A good optician
Finding my Nectar points are up to £95 and Boots points up to £30
And the sunshine!

Evening everyone :hello:

Went to the park today, it was mild but slippery and muddy from the rain yesterday.

Stopped off at McDs and the supermarket on the way back bringing my spends to £185.38/£350.

Sent £9.08 to the holiday savings. Have £325 in there now, only £175 left to go until I reach my target.

Sent £10.35 to the full and final fund. Have £75 in there, a long way to go until I reach my target.

Made a pasta bake for dinner this evening for the first time. It tasted fine but was a bit dry. So I made another and rather than putting the cheese at the top, I mixed it in and the bake came out looking more appetising. I got two portions out of this one, which I've frozen so I can take them to work for lunch in the future.

Thinking of making a slow cooker chicken curry this coming week. I'm trying to get my cooking skills to passable levels :rotfl:.

Off to read a few chapters in my book now before heading to bed.

Today I'm grateful for my mum looking after the little one tonight.
