Not sure whether I can claim today as a NSD, I paid for parking while out with mum and dad and left a tip after lunch, but mum insists on reimbursing me so I'll get the money back (I'm not sure why she insists on this!).

Nothing else to report today, had a nice lunch, weather was a bit grim all day here so not much else done.

Nice to meet you @karmacat!

Congrats on your overpayment @laurenh1 that's a great achievement

I am on NSD 7 out of 7, it's starting to feel like a bit of a challenge now but I have no desire to buy anything. Going to have to do a food shop tomorrow as we are all out of essentials.

Grateful for lovely colleagues who surprised me with a cake as a very belated bday present

Met a friend at the library as it was open late tonight, cheap socialising is the best.

Worked a lot over the past few days so am going to try and focus on self care over the next few days.

I really need to ring and rearrange my CBT appointment so putting it here so I can remember/be accountable!

Well, the rest of the Jerusalem artichokes went in the bin. Really don't like the taste and they cause incredible gas. Not worth it .

Did my food inventory and refined my Asda order for Friday. Will need a few things from home bargain and some nomorenails but should come in under budget again, yay

NSD - Another NSD so that's me on 5/20.

ORGANISE - I am sewing most of my Christmas presents and have organised my time so that I'll get them all finished in time. I completed another quilted Christmas stocking this morn8ng.

ENJOY - I enjoyed my sewing morning also a visit by an ex colleague in the afternoon.

EXERCISE - I did my morning exercise dvd.

NOW - I must be managing this as I've lost 2 lbs in weight. Hope it continues.

YOU - I baked a quiche and a carrot cake today and all ingredients were from fridge or storecupboard.

REPORT - I'm here.

I'll be back tomorrow xx

Inspiration for Day 8 and Day 7 (of 9) belatedly


Current vibe:doing me
Restoring myself
Reinventing myself
Early bedtime
Tea
Lots of water
Working out
working hard
Eating healthy
Saying No to people
Bubble baths
Staying in
Being present
Shifting gears
Staying focused
Feeling incredible

(ah well, we can only try - remember 2 out of 3 ain't bad)


Don't fake being okay
You only hurt yourself
Be real with what you are going through,
just don't let it consume you
Balance

No matter what they tell you, you don't have to stay within the lines

SIMPLE FORMULA FOR LIVING
Live beneath your means
Return everything you borrow
Stop blaming other people
Admit it when you make a mistake
Give clothes not worn to charity
Do something nice and try not to get caught
Listen more, talk less
Every day take a 30 minute walk
Strive for excellence, not perfection
Be on time. Don't make excuses.
Don't argue. Get organised
Be kind to unkind people

Let someone ahead of you in the queue
Take time to be alone
Cultivate good manners
Be humble
realise and accept that life isn't fair
Know when to keep your mouth shut
Try to go a whole day without criticising anyone
Learn from the past. plan for the future
Live in the prsent
Don't sweat the small stuff
It's all small stuff

(Could take issue with some of those, but as usual, take and adapt anything useful, discard the rest)


I only want to live in peace, plant potatoes and dream
Tove Jannson Moomin Vol 1


Dance with the waves
Move with the sea
Let the rhythm of the water
Set your soul free

Money can buy a house but not a home
Money can buy a bed but not sleep
Money can buy a clock but not time
Money can buy a book but not knowledge
Money can buy you food but not an appetite
Money can buy you friends but not love
Minions

I have Goth Bunny. I like it. Goth bunny and I will make each other better. i have not 'nicked' the trolley. I will take it back. no intention to permanently deprive.

Thrifty I was going to warn about the fartiness of the Jerusalem artichoke, but it seems there is no need! A shame as I love them roasted.

Foxholes I have been known to hide crisps and other lunchbox goods to get through to the end of the week.

Mothernerd If you are growing squids might it be time to get back to the GP? Chest infections are not to be messed with, and you don't want to end up with pneumonia.

In MSE news, I had a spend day as needed a top up shop and some DIY materials in my quest to fix the washing machines. Was all set to take the pump apart with the help of YouTube, but the first thing I fixed turned out to have been the problem. Ah well, at least I know have some pliers to hand which I'm sure will be useful for something.

Organise your time- I got up early again, I think F0xh0les suggested this, as a way of getting a head start on the day before the kids get up and I think it is working really well.

Guilty as charged, I get the lunchbox sorted, breakfast table set and the day planned out with a cup of coffee before the first person asks me if I know where they left their ______________ (which they could not find with both hands, even if I drew them a map).

Today will be NSD 4 as I will park in supermarket instead of paying hospital parking fees, fill up water bottles from the tap for Xcountry after school (last .one!!!!)

Kindness - taking another mum's kid with me to X country as she can't do early pick up but will meet us there.

All food from stores, general tidying up and the kitchen looks like a bomb bas hit it.
Will prioritise that today.

Well done on fixing the washing machine glenda.



DH is off work today and tomorrow but I am working tomorrow. It is fine here so we are going cycling when he gets back from the school run, also need to strip and re-make all the beds before lunch so we have the afternoon free.


Grocery delivery is coming this afternoon, it is a big one too.
