HEALTH AND WELLBEING
The organic veg box from Riverford was disappointing. They give a credit against the next box if you complain, but I doubt I can be bothered to give them another chance. It is expensive but worse, the quality is variable and I can get fresher and cheaper in the supermarket. I will have a car soon so I can do a weekly shop rather than rely on deliveries. I have an Ald1 nearby so combined with my not eating meat I should be able to get the shopping budget down. :money:
LOSE 20 KiLOS IN 20 MONTHS
Cheese thrown out from freezer
Made spinach, lentil and tomato soup
Ate 2 bags of kettle crisps. Yup the crisp monster well and truly got me. Although the crisps came in an online food delivery so I laid down the red carpet and invited the crisp monster in…
DECLUTTERING AND ORGANISING
I need bookshelves. I am not sure whether to:
search charity shops for a bookcase I can paint and use
buy some individual shelves and get someone to fit them to the alcoves in my room
buy a bookcase (even as I write this I can see this is my least preferred option although I know He3ls outlet store so I could look there)
I quite fancy a Welsh dresser
WELLBEING AND HEALTH GOAL
I forced myself to go for a walk after WFH all day. I killed 2 birds with one stone by walking to the Post Office. (1 official form completed and posted at post office Present for friend abroad posted too)
I stopped in Mr M for wonky veggies and a bit of fruit
HOUSE GOAL
I saw a newly painted house the same size of mine. A woman was talking to a neighbour so I asked about the painter and if she was happy and if his charge was reasonable. She took my number to pass on.
A productive day I think
I hope your hump day went well too If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them
