Did you ask when I stop work??? FRIDAY

Hahahaha I love this :T

Fantastic news about the award! Getting the window done sounds like a great idea and congratulations on managing to negotiate the price down.

Again I love the angst and action list and will be thieving the idea to use myself. I have a number of angsts and need to figure out some actions. This will be a task for tomorrow for me. Thank you for the motivation

What fantastic news about this new award! Congratulations! As others have said, you need to recognise your talents

Near Inverness, you say? You should travel via Glasgow and I'll treat you to a coffee!

@greenbee, @HH, @plonter, @redo, thank you for your good wishes
@lonelyrat, thank you and I hope the angst and action list works for you. It does me
@INOD, thank you and such a good point about the stopcock being covered by the costs of not being at home and spending. I will offset against saved living costs
@homegrown and @beanielou. I would love a mini meetup and coffee :j

I posted a few postcards through neighbour’s doors and bought a paper. A few in the postbox too. There was a time I bought a paper every week but now I rarely do. Reading them online there are too may adverts so I treated myself today.

I cooked some beans
I cooked some turkey wings
I am making veggie, lentil and bean soup today

I washed a rug. It is windy today so it may dry if I put it outside.

I ordered some more clothes after the last lot were unsuitable. They were all greatly reduced so I hope something is suitable as I need a few new clothes.

I took the best bouquet of flowers to my neighbour but she had died! The funeral was yesterday but her husband had not let me know. When I went there her daughter was there and said her mother had been a difficult woman and I said we had our ups and downs but she had been good to me in the past. She took my bouquet to take to the cemetery. They seemed to appreciate I had come.

Wishing you a good Saturday

I am going to make an effort not to drink much alcohol, or have simple sugars. I can feel the pounds creeping back on. Also drink makes me feel sluggish and crave sugar. I need to be sharp over the next few months and neither booze nor sugar give me energy. The next time I will be with friends who drink will be 19th December. So, 1/10 AF/SF days start today. Signature updated. I had this realisation whilst waiting in the queue at Waitr0se with a ‘free’ paper, a bar of chocolate and a bottle of wine. I put them all back and walked away…

I still feel edgy. Once the joy about the residential prize had worn off, underneath was edginess. I don’t like it. I don’t have a plumber yet either.

The next buying-the-window meeting is tomorrow when I sign and pay my deposit. Once that is over I might feel a bit better. Let’s hope so.

I had a 49p filter coffee in Pr3t today using my own cup. :money: I am happy to have one of these whenever I am out. Even if I do this 5Xs a week (which I won’t) that is still only £2.50. The coffee isn’t great but neither is the £2.30 coffee, but I can sit down and relax and reflect, so it will do.;)

I hope you have had a lovely Sunday.

I agree about alcohol making you sluggish and craving sugar. Sugar also makes me crave more sugar and feel sluggish .

I hope some of the clothes fit.

It's a good idea to sign and pay the deposit for the window, then you can have a useable room and be ready for the lady decorator.
