lavander Bee Growing a baby is hard work, getting through it is a fairly big task in itself.
I have managed my first NSD- I did have hospital parking & I put £1 into a charity tin, as part of my £5 per month. but nothing else.
more gratitude today - it has been a good day- that my son was discharged from the care of his Doctor this morning, they have been keeping an eye on his kidneys for nearly 2 years. I am so chuffed he is done with it all, for the amazing lady who gave my son a sticker at the hospital when he had had enough after a morning of car journeys and sitting around. It made getting him back int he car a much easier task- Isn't it amazing how small acts of kindness can really help your day?:D0 -

Rather cheeky plasterer too, has he at least given valid reasons?
Happy Anniversary
Sadly not. These things mean nothing to him. Very MSE though:(
Flowers were not an option as we are both suffering with hayfever.
Plasterer had to look after his son this afternoon. As excuses go it is a good one. If he does not turn up tomorow I will not be happy.4/10/22One Year Mortgage Free Yay!

Evening all
Claiming my first NSD today We went out, but took food from home, made our own coffee and went to a fairly local attraction we have membership of, so no parking costs / entry fee. Had a nice, though chilly, walk with the dog, and enjoyed the spring flowers
Came home, and filled a quiche shell I baked yesterday with odds and ends including leftover ends of cheese, the last 2 cherry tomatoes and the last few frozen mushrooms in the bag (defrosted first). This was fine for dinner, and there will be enough for another day, as it was quite a large quiche and there are only 2 of us to feed tonight
Ran out of paper table napkins (don't use many but useful when grandchildren are messy ). Found some old cloth napkins in a drawer, and going forward, we will be using these instead. Less waste, and I won't have to add napkins to my shopping list :T
Grateful today for spring flowers, our ancient camper van, and the dog, who makes me laugh :rotfl:0 -
Started the challenge as I mean to go on - I had a job interview on promotion today and I got it
Although this has meant that my planned AFD and NSD has been abandoned in favour of buying a celebratory bottle of wine!Christmas Savings 2024 £252.38/£600 April NSD:2 April Surveys £0 -

First check in for the month and NSD #1/19.
Decided to push back the errands for today, that involve spending, to tomorrow when I will hit the shops purposely with a long list.
Dinner was leftovers with a twist and then whilst the oven was on baked a banana loaf and flapjacks for the week ahead.
Grateful for

[/FONT][FONT="]Me[/FONT][FONT="] time:[/FONT][FONT="] Look after yourself. Revive an old hobby. Exam practice. Got stuck in work so too late by the time I got home today. I am shattered so will be off to bed soon.
[/FONT][FONT="]Move[/FONT][FONT="]: I was shattered after work, but dragged myself out into the drizzle to walk the pup. Missed out on a 4 mile training run as I was home too late.
[/FONT][FONT="]Activation[/FONT][FONT="]: What spurs you on to keep on the path? Today I am listening to a podcast by Richard Nicholls, a therapist who has the most uplifting and happy voice. His podcasts always cheer me up.
[/FONT][FONT="]Arm[/FONT][FONT="] yourself [/FONT][FONT="]: Whether you opt to work more or to spend less in order to achieve your goal, stand firm against the naysayers. No spends today, and a couple of extra hours at work.
Planned spends this month - £20 tattoo deposit.
[/FONT][FONT="]
[/FONT][FONT="]You[/FONT][FONT="]. Appreciate what you have. Be grateful. Today I am grateful to leave the office. Been a long stressful shift.

[STRIKE]Pay to your debt/savings FIRST and live off the rest.[/STRIKE] Mums DD came out this morning £1800 left.
Plan the month: every single day: what you are doing, what you are eating, especially with the Bank Holidays and half term, birthdays, anniversaries. Birthdays some out of the birthday pot. I have just a £10 to put in a card, and a couple of cards to buy. Other than that, it should be an uneventful month.
Check in every day. Here I am.[/FONT]Debt Free as of 17/01/2009 Turtle Power!!
