Working the numbers 2019 style

For Friday -

Steps 6700 - had a long wonder into and around town
MSD - Lunch out with OH and DS2 but not out out
Not veggie

Save/Make - part of the trip was to another UC health assessment meeting for DS2 - this to the same place who asked a friend if her son's Downs had "cleared up" since his last visit - so fundamentally pointless.

Clean Fix - more pottering, not quite made as progress as I had hoped

Actions - well I added plenty more, but the doing bit - that's trying to catch up

mark55man

Just done a mid month check, and looking good.
* Entertainment a bit up but have been catching up on family and friends
* Car usage has been quite low but low petrol has been countered by a near 4 figure service (new tyres, cambelt, new brakes) - but good to go for another few years, and was still within a 0% purchase so have a few months to clear it
* other categories have been a bit lower than usual to, but are planning to join some friends at their holiday cottage later after their DD has to go back to Uni so will be a bit of a drive and then some seaside costs

mark55man

today started well and then hit couple of challenges with both my 5yo car and OH being poorly

So 9200 steps which would have been more if we had gone out as planned, but c'est la vie
OMGHMSD (OMG how much Spend Day) - for the car
not veggie

clean/fix - household chores
save/make - avoided entertainment costs by staying in
actions - 2 sorted - hive and car service (ha!)

doingitanyway

I read that with a comma. So, my 5yo, car and OH being poorly and I wondered where the 5 yo came from

Apologising about 9,000 + steps is not allowed.

from experience 5yo cost a lot more than poorly cars - lol

Wow, the mind boggles!! Pointless indeed, just a box ticking exercise.
Bad news about the car, is it terminal or worth saving?

mark55man

Car is worth saving- just par for the course, I knew lots of things needed done. It still stings though!

The UC thing is just a self licking ice cream - the tests are done so that people who run the system can have jobs not so that my boy has any better chance of working, which will happen of its own accord when its time. Just ridiculous!

8100 steps today - got another walk in while OH was busy
not veggie - we all fancied roast
MSD - roast prob cost £20 all in for 5 - with meat and veg costing £10 and pudding costing £10 vegan cakes and vegan ice cream being a lot of that

make/save - long story but ended up getting 2 free butternut squash from the supermarket as they were closing and couldn't be bothered to go and weigh them
clean/fix - kitchen chores
actions - 2 added - one cleared

mark55man

steps 5800
NSD

save/make - so pleased to say DS2 had a positive result on PIP, so whilst I am upset he needs it at least he has a bit more money to follow those hobbies he is able to do

clean/fix - household chores

actions - down to 18 - had a bit of a go at it this afternoon

mark55man

steps 6500
LSD (was WFH as optical appointments) but managed a coffee with OH

save/make - found out that OH has been asked to a charity do and I can be +1 - it's a free night out - but I suspect will end up costing in some donations/auction - but easy to cap that

clean/fix - had a real go in the lounge with OH and its looking good but not fully decluttered

actions - up to 24 (eek!) but all things that need down from tax, to passports to big declutters

doingitanyway

The charity 'do' will be a good opportunity to spend, eat well, drink, but know it is all in a good cause. Win, win.
