What small DFW things will you do w/c 29th October?

foxgloves

Thanks for all your kind thoughts yesterday. A very sad day, of course, but everything went well. Feel absolutely exhausted today, so intend to do very little. I have a bit of unpacking & sorting out to do, & to put dinner in the slow cooker. Apart from that, I intend to do very little, so there'll be no spending either.

Morning purps - you're always up before me these days! I was just thinking when I got up this morning that tonight I'm going to bed early as am so tired when I get up in the mornings!

The tea party went well, madam enjoyed herself. I on the other hand find hosting gatherings difficult so it felt stressful! After devoting myself to madam yesterday today I intend to spend the a big chunk of the day catering to my own needs!

Small things today:

[STRIKE]* check banks[/STRIKE]
* [STRIKE]make bean cassoulet [/STRIKE]
* [STRIKE]load of washing and hang out[/STRIKE] - better put that on in a minute
[STRIKE]* walking to the allotment with friend and pup to do some clearing & digging[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]* definitely doing some sewing today! Going to finish off my trouser to skirt refashion [/STRIKE] just have to hem it. Think It'll be good to go for work tomorrow :j
[STRIKE]* all meals from stores [/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]* NSD[/STRIKE] :j
[STRIKE]* feed all house plants with some tea[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]* get bag/clothes/food ready for work tomorrow[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]* make some overnight oats for work Thurs [/STRIKE]& Fri
[STRIKE]* reading with madam after school to free up time for trick and treating when it gets dark[/STRIKE]
* bath, read book & early night
[STRIKE]* onepoll if I can be bothered[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]* read newsletter[/STRIKE]

Ok that's all!

• Knit sock

Hi October Overthrowers,

Foxgloves, glad it went well.

Morning!:coffee: It's still my w.e.e.k.e.n.d. until I revert to nightshift at work tonight. My mind is a mess and there's a man with a road-drill in our street.

Debt-Free-Nillionaire Continuity Plan Year Four:

* Check online banking. Done.

* Get some exercise. Done.

* Go to Morrison's with DW. Done.

* Work out how my work schedule is going to work...What I need for packed lunches. When I'm going to sleep....when I'm going to have my main meal...haven't done this for months. Done.




To be continued....

Things don't have to be perfect to be wonderful.

Hugs foxgloves, hope you have had a relaxing day. Glad to hear that yesterday went as well as these things can
Busy and spendy couple of days here, as we went out with family last night to celebrate a family birthday and out again today for lunch with a friend :eek:
A few small things though:
Brown banana for breakfast fruit
Postal survey stuff done
Posted 3 ebay items
Walked dog for free exercise - and much needed after 2 meals out in 2 days. Portion sizes are much larger than we have at home. I would be the size of a house if we did that often :eek:
Checked banks and updated spending diary and spreadsheet.

Back on it tomorrow!
