Budget has totally gone to pot this week - my own fault, I took my eye off it and had a really spendy day out with a friend (lunch and shopping). Just didn’t hold myself accountable and haven’t had a NSD since Sunday!

I have no doubt it hasn't put you in a bad position and you will fully recover
Obviously when I said "later" I meant "tomorrow"
I've hauled the handbrake on, and assessed the damage - which in all honesty, is not as bad as it could have been, and what I have bought is useful and/or pertinent for the current situation. Apart from the indulgent lunch out - but that was good for the soul more than anything
As for work, I did get offered the role I interviewed for - but they put so many caveats in the offer and the draft contract I saw was frankly outrageous (I have doubts it was even legal), so I walked away from it. Still feeling a bit conflicted, but I think it's for the best.
But it's the weekend now, so enough about work

I'm stocked up for now, but will need to venture out later in the week for a top-up - I'll go with an open mind and forage what I can. I have a good supply of lentils and freezer stock, so I don't want to deplete them too much at this stage, just want to replenish what I've used so far in terms of fresh stuff.
Hope everyone is staying safe - I've messaged round a few people to check they're ok, so I will continue doing that in the coming days. Just have to do what we can

- Warm and snuggly PD - who has joined in several video conferences (uninvited), and spending the rest of her day snoozing near me.
- A glorious day today - I've had the windows open all day for the first time this year. It's getting a little chilly now, but goodness me, it's been good for the soul (also for sunny windowsills for slumbering felines)
- A lack of a commute - I've argued the point for months that my job could be done from home too, not just the higher-ups, and I actually got a compliment over the amount I got through this week. Funny that, when I'm not being interrupted every 5 minutes by people wanting me to do 'a quick job' for them - something to be said for being less visible (but still easily accessible).
- A glass of red - because that's something to savour after a trying week!
- NSDs a-plenty - and a few more to rack up over the coming days too.
