Morning!
So wet and miserable here. Been out and seen to the ponies and got soaked - roll on spring :rotfl:
Had a really productive day yesterday - it’s amazing how having a little bit of time can works wonders! Dropped DS at preschool and then popped to the gym for an hour. It was hard work but felt so good after! Came home, showered and cracked on with some housework. Managed to get downstairs reasonably sorted. Packaged eBay bits, batch cooked huge pot of Bolognese and one of Chilli and then popped to pick up little one. It’s amazing what can be achieved in less than 3 hours when you have no distractions. Plan for today is to try the Pilates class at the gym, sort upstairs and then my first yoga class tonight.
Not much MSE news. I have populated my spending diary for all spends since payday - I’m shocked! Really need to get eBaying / cut food spend down as car swallowed money budgeted for christmas :mad: not got much left to get just parents, sis and bro in law and a couple of bits for DS - just have no idea what to get :rotfl:0 -
Morning - been missing in sort of action again......
My mobile phone contract ends at the beginning of Dec. Phoned provider to see what I need to do to switch onto sim only - 10 minutes later my bill had been cut from £45 to £20 per month with more data than I can use. Yes there were slightly cheaper options but the data allowances weren’t great and this is where I’ve been caught out in the past. So with immediate effect my bill should not exceed £20 a month plus I have nearly £40 in airtime rewards so quite often it’ll be even lower :j
Gym session yesterday followed by batch cooking curry and housework (becoming a bit of a Wednesday morning routine!)
Vet visit today for pony jabs (zoned visit so call out is £5 rather than £30 :T) then hopefully a gym session before picking DS.
Few errands to run this afternoon - hoping this rain stops, traffic round us is a nightmare at the mo due to flooded routes. 15 minute drive into town is averaging 45 mins :mad:. Grateful though as we are in a far more fortunate position than some in this horrid wet weather.
Have a great day x0
