Hopefully DH and I will both make it to the gym later too

Hey folks,
I've been AWOL and working hard in the garden.
I have finally cleared all the ivy from the borders! Next door's cat thanked me by leaving a nice jobby in it overnight.
I have been saintly - a night out and a dinner party and not a drop of booze touched my lips. I'm feeling very proud of myself.
Back in work today with the usual missions:- B/L/D from stores - done
- Reconcile budget sheet - partially done. TSB down.
- Nip into garden to water things (not as much rain here as forecast) - done
- Charge phone in work - done
- Run at lunchtime - done
- No alcohol - done
- Try to flog some more of the outstanding bits from mother in law's. It's too good to send to the tip... brand new things in boxes (but not charity shoppable) I might try relisting on FB now the nice weather is here. - nope
- Try not to stress about emerging work situation. It wasn't my fault, even though I have been the one to find and flag it, but I have a feeling they might try to pin it on me. - done
- Water garden - done
- Poss sow coleus seeds - nope
