Thinking of you, indigo. And your sil, toni'sfriend.


Today I am grateful for a sofa to snooze on, for a short walk in the sunshine, for amenable buses, for lemsip and balm tissues, for dh making a good bonfire and having some fireworks with friends.

Today is NSD 6/15, I did make planned and set aside donations at church, and for the local legion but that was all so under my own rules it counts! Ended up having a very lazy afternoon with DD, we don't often have time for that so it was very enjoyable.

I managed a no spend. Wrote a blog post, watched several series of Big Bang theory and played some games. I am off to bed soon.

NSD 2/15. It’s been hard as I often buy stuff online over the weekend on Etsy/amazon but I didn’t. Went to Lidl again yesterday for shopping and have to go back tomorrow. I was buying my son lots of baguettes from Greggs for his lunches but now I am getting the doings from Lidl and making them myself. Cost per baguette is now about 50p as opposed to £3.30 for baguette and coke. Will get some cheap coke tomorrow.

Ordered my son his new Motsbility car. A BMW X1. I am beyond excited for it. Does that count as an outing?

Anyway, grateful for the people and animals who died for our country and freedom, the motability scheme and Malbec.

Donated £5 for my remembrance cross.

I'm all YES-vember this month.

Budget:
Fingers crossed for an event free week. I seem to be all out of luck at the moment, car trouble, a parking ticket - got the cancellation though - so thats sorted, and then Saturday morning I woke with a crash when the side of my bed broke, am sleeping in spare room. Not sure what to do at the moment.

5/15 NSD'S
An other one today:-).

Lunch to Work : Always. Baked rye spelt rolls.

Remove 60 Items -
Well this hasen't happened yet, volunteered to take glass recycling from fundraising event last night, stil need to stop by skip though.

Daily Fresh Air -Well 2 river walks yesterday morning and a long road run this morning _ I thought the route would be 6 M but it was only 5, so I did it in an hour - am quite happy w that. And picked most of the figs of the fig tree and rescued banana. Gave it a hair cut, due to frost damage.

Donate £5 - spent £5 at fundraiser last night on beer and cake! Not all that altruistic.

Daily Gratitude - for good knees, clean air and choc cake - even if I baked it.

Just popping in to post as I didn't get a chance yesterday. Was outdoors all day, went out horse riding first thing, then volunteered all day. We had some training as well after the volunteering, so was outdoors pretty much from 8am to 4pm. Had a nice hot bath and then an easy dinner as didn't fancy cooking much. Struggled to get up this morning but went for a little walk around the block to loosen up. Am working from home this morning, into work this afternoon.


I checked my bank accounts this morning, and somehow I am down about £100 that I can't account for. I'm really confused as I haven't been spending and I've been noting all of my spends, so I don't know what's happened. Hoping it's just an error and that I've forgotten about a particular bill or something. I haven't had time to go through the accounts in detail today but I'll have to do it soon to try and sort it out. If not I am VERY short for the rest of the month. Feeling a bit fed up of having to watch every penny so tightly even though I'm not in debt any more, just feels like I can't get anywhere sometimes.
