Today I am grateful for being able to laugh and not panic in the face of technical shenanigans, for enjoying the day, for minimal shopping, for nearly 20k steps, for dh being home 2 hours earlier than expected, for pink pens, for my KB workout, for time with dd.

Another NSD. Got myself ready, renewed library books online, went to mum's. Spent all afternoon disguising a falling apart fence with plastic netting, trellis, fake foliage and flowers, then trained the climbers up the onto it (one quite large but the other two only just starting to grow).

Made food, did a bit more jigsaw, watched Yorkshire Vet, came home and put the bins out.

Today I am grateful for not getting sunburn or excema, for doing more than I thought I would get done (watered the strawberries as well), for being able to renew library books on-line, for not buying anything.

NSDs - another one for me today so now up to 7/19
Move - very lazy today
Money - got £22.83 from PA today and paid £2.83 to the debt . Both mine and OH's mobile phones are now out of contract so got another sim only one for me but a new phone for OH as his last one is just hanging on. Managed to save £5 on what we pay now, not much but every little helps!
Arm yourself - got a few payouts from surveys recently which is motivating me to do more
You - grateful for line dried washing, sausages, chips and beans for tea, things growing in the garden

Evening everyone,

NSD #7 for me today.

No other MSE worthy news to report.

NSD 10/19. Even though I'm strongly disliking the process, I'm grateful for being pregnant and having little one on the way.

Good luck for your interview KerryWoman

NSD 8/19 here. Got back last night from another 2 day DofE practice. The students were the best group yet that we have taken out and I am truly grateful for that.

Being a bit impatient with the detox diet (definitely do feel better, the post nasal drip has gone) I bought 5 herbs, five diff types of veg and 5 protein sources for this week. Still on budget. Bacon and spinach for breakfast with a cup of mint and lemon tea. Not sure that this way of eating will go global yet though.

Oh Bless! It is not fun in the hot weather is it? Don't worry, you will get your pelvis back soon. :j

NSD 8 done and dusted!
Took out £10 from the bank for c/s spends while DH was in the dentist.
Came back with £10 in my pocket.
Sat in the car and read my car book until he was released back into the wild.
- I have a car book, a bed book, and a massive pile of books still to be read from my massive £15 c/s book haul earlier on in the yearl

Might need some sandwich fillers and a loaf for tomorrow's lunchboxes, but am due a
£5 Mr M voucher and a
£6 PA payout is on its way - made £25 already this year on PA for practically no effort.
£3 T0sc0 cl0bcard money and
£1 H&B voucher.
So I could probably do it for £0

It must seem a funny way to think about your food shopping to some people.
Works for me though!
