Which street was it Shrewbie?

The Castellana apple! all the way from Delicias nr Atocha to Plaza de Castilla...well not strictly all castellana but ends up being one long street...

Thanks apple she’s quite an odd character and has made enemies out of many neighbours. She thinks she is literally in charge of the street and will knock on people’s doors telling them to move their cars from outside their own houses because she hasn’t given them permission to park there. Luckily I have one car and a drive!

Today will end up being NSD number 2 as we've decided to go food shopping tomorrow.

Had a great night last night, enjoyed meal out and some drinks. Back on my healthy eating plan this morning. I'm not quite hungover but don't feel 'fresh' so I'm just getting on with painting the kitchen drawers today. I might make a start on the walls later on, depending how I feel!

Dinner tonight will be some fish cakes from the freezer and I'll make a point of using up the veg in the fridge. Will have to go shopping tomorrow as there is no salad left, and after todays dinner, only carrots in the veg draw.

Today I'm grateful for
Friends
Relaxing Sunday
Progress made in the kitchen, although it's slow going, every weekend I chip at a little bit more which is encouraging.

Needed some shopping today. Just basics really. Milk, butter etc. Persuaded Himself just to go to Aldi so that stopped him buying things we don't really need.

Still feeling really tired so yet another early night. Hope to get a bit of a walk tomorrow.

Grateful for:
A quiet day
The Boy visiting later
Seeing the CC balance back to zero

apple - he's 18.5months now - and scrummy


More spending today in L1d1 and Tesc0, including some back to uni food for DS1. Dinner is a full on roast - YS chicken from freezer and veg already in fridge from too-hot-for-a-roast Easter weekend :T There will be leftovers for me in the week too :T

Another item added to foodbank collection today and 2 items identified from cupboard (OH's purchases which have not been eaten in over a year and I want to get rid of them whilst they still have a decent (7month) expiry date on them!)

Line of Duty tonight - :j

Today turned into a lovely NSD3. We went out, saw Captain Marvel (it was great!) and DH insisted on paying, so my money stayed in my purse (I had budgeted for it all yesterday) got home just after 2 so a late lunch and DH is cooking tonight.

Gratitudes:
family trip out (well, 50% of kids)

DH wanting to cook tonight
getting 50% of the kids out of the house

the scales seem to be going in the right direction.

Today I am grateful for a last-minute really successful playdate for dd, for a great chat with a friend, for a fun workout this morning.

Well today hasn't gone entirely as planned, i.e. I didn't get my nap. However, it's probably for the best. I just need to stay awake long enough for Line of Duty and I can lie in all day tomorrow...
Minor spend because I needed to get some cheap lemonade for the kids (just 74p) as ds has a friend staying over tonight.
Today I'm grateful for: my ex husband being found, earning some extra money from tutoring and not having to get up for work tomorrow (I will also be grateful for this tomorrow - I know it).

Make a budget NSDs 5/30 Just dog food bought today, but that's out the grocery budget, so all good.
Enjoy the month. Do things that make you happy. Spent all day in my pjs. Good day.
Read. Will head to bed with my book again tonight.
Reduce. Nothing new has entered the house today.
Increase. Music practice. A good 30 mins on the guitar. Nothing on the sax. I was just going to do my free 10 mins on my app but got carried away and attempted the first few bars of Rains of Castamere. I am determmined to learn this song.
Move it! Did nothing today, toyed with going for a run or bike ride, but there were dark clouds on the horizon and I was trapped in my pjs. I did write up a triathalon training plan thou.
Every day gratitudes:
1) Bf at work today so I had a nice quiet chilled day of peace
2) A working computer!
3) Walking Dead
No! to wants, to treats. Nothing naughty today. Ate 2 bananas and 2 apples, but no naughtys.
Think of others. Cooked dinner for bf (I've not left the house so this will have to do)
