Hello DIA!
I've found you! It's been a few months but I'm delighted to see you are debt free - absolutely fantastic work and very well deserved. I hope you're enjoying your new life!

I haven't had a chance to read what you've been up to but I will very soon. Just thought I'd pop by and say hello

Have a lovely weekend

We can support each other. Hope your GP appointment goes well and well done for seizing the day

So lovely to have you drop by. I have thought of you lots since becoming debt free. You were such a source of inspiration to me. I have yet to move like you have but I am facing down my fear of getting stuff done on the house. Have a lovely weekend too

I texted another electrician who did not get back to me yesterday

I am starting to think of using the very irritating builder who lives on my road. He is a perfectionist. He is rude. I would not have considered using him a few years back but I am (a tiny bit) better with tradesmen now after a few good experiences. I am pretty sure he would do a good job and not overcharge. I might begin by getting him to do some brickwork pointing to test myself as at least that is outside the house and not inside.

If the irritating overbearing builder and I fall out then at least I will be a step closer to moving and I won’t have to see him again anyway

Redo you were right my workplace insist on a fit to work cert if returning before the certificate so I am not going back to work until the full 2 weeks have elapsed.

Yesterday I realised I had missed a very important appointment this week. I did not notice until it was too late. I was mortified but no point in beating myself up. Proof if proof were needed that I am overloaded as I just don’t miss appointments.

I need to get my act together for Sunday as I am due to visit a relative with my niece.

The rain has just started. Just a shower but oh so lovely after so long

I am such a sucker for a bargain. I saw pink vintage cava made from pinot noir grapes a bargain at MnS for £15 but they were clearing the range for £5 a bottle. They had 5 bottles left and I bought them all. So £25 of my weekly budget gone. I therefore need to economise elsewhere as I have started my new discretionary spending account and I am going to stick with the plan.

I still need petrol and some fruits for my relative who is not in good health.

I have enough eggs to make a week’s worth of breakfasts and I’m fine to have leftovers and/or fruits for lunchtimes so I’m just going to meal plan for suppers

Suppers=

Thai fish curry and cauliflower rice
Chicken and avocado salad
Salmon, tahini lentils and green beans
Grilled fish and vegetables with tahini sauce
Giant fish fingers and salsa in a buckwheat wrap
Veggie curry, quinoa and toasted cashews

I’ll probably need fruits and veggies during the week but least the meals are covered. This should help mitigate my cava splurge.;)

I bought deodorant without aluminium, some essential oils for burning and some chocolate with a low amount of sugar. I have spent lots today. Everything is so expensive and I still need petrol and fruits for my relative

I hope you are all enjoying the fresher weather. I am

Thanks Beanie I feel less guilty now

You could use the odd bottle as a present if you wanted. Your suppers sound lovely and healthy. Glad you are going to have the full fortnight off , you will feel better for it.

Enjoy Sunday .
