Adding one more NSD day, a club run along river bank in the dark with kayaks and rowers on the water, love it. 5M done.
Thankful for dark water without crocodiles, being able to shout out while running - for the first time, and for a home day to myself.
Did decluttered 1 book, (1:60) started to refurbish an album style book, painted cover, but I still don't like it. Might just have to start from scratch. But have made 4 pages for album, and one odd drawing.

Habits - did a fair bit of slacking and swiping today. Will take down 2 SM posts I added as not carefully considered.

#20 checking in

Budget - Today is payday and I've sent the money where it needs to go. Hubby is off to Ireland tomorrow morning so I've sent his spends over to his account....left myself with enough to do the food shop, pay the bills, put petrol in the car and a contingency tenner! lol

NSDs - 6/15. still....just can't seem to get past 6 lol

Lunch to work - Sausage rolls for the kids, hubby buying his out as normal for a thursday.

Items removed - 13/60 - Nothing added again despite doing some serious sorting out recently. I've filled my wheelie bin twice over with rubbish but no items which is disappointing. Hoping that the next few days will bring some more stuff (plus my ebay auctions will finish soon. I have also put a filing cabinet up for sale on FB which I hope will go quickly.

Outings - 1/2 - next one planned for the 17/11.

Daily fresh air - Bus drop off and went out and read the meter which is always an ordeal....so many spiders!

Charity - sent the boys in with 50p each for the bake sale at the junior school. Tomorrow is CIN so it's non-uniform all round and £1 each going in the collection, plus another 50p for baking probably lol - Total will be £5 sent in in donations.

Gratitudes - Social media making selling unwanted stuff a bit easier, hubby's payday (he really does work hard) and the shoes I ordered online for eldest fitting properly with no issues - thank goodness!

New habits - rouitnes all done for 13 days in a row! I think that might be a record! :eek: Today I'm planning on tackling the kitchen. It's the last room on my list to be done and is currently home to all of the rubbish/clutter that has been removed from the rest of the house. Some of it will be going up into the loft, but hopefully some of it will be leaving the house!!!! :j

Quick check in from me.



NSD 9/15


Today off wotk this afternoon so going to use my double up nectar vouchers in sainsbobs. Have a survey voucher as well so minimum spend?



Haven't slept well, a few things playing on my mind, mixed with backache and a lovely cold starting. Had a row with dd in NZ over the dreaded xmas day. Expects me to pop into her dads for lunch, when he hasn't spoke to me in 11 years, so thats nor happening. Will see her and her bf for brunch in mine with other dd and grandkids. Xmas is always complicated affair.


Reach out went visiting some old folk ( in their 80s) last night think thats why I am coughing my head off today. They were happy of a visit in this weather not been out much,


Outings tonight local theatre production. Allo allo!


Exercise Will try harder with some walking later, only seem to manage 8K a day lately.


Grateful for
Toast/ jam snack in work (free) keep me going on my shopping trip.

Have a lovely day turtles, stay warm

So wednesday was most certainly a spending day- a large food shop, but freezer, fridge and cupboards full so will only need a fresh things shop next week. Figured as I was spending anyway I would do some online ordering of presents for "C", and found the downside of NSDs! I had out some bits in an online basket last week but didn't order as it would have been my only spend, forgot to login the following day to order them and discovered yesterday the price has jumped by about 30%! Will have to search a few more stores to try and find it closer to the original price (it's a toy for DD, was happy with the lower price but struggle to see it as VFM at the higher cost). Oh well, live and learn, I'll try not to make that mistake again.
Today should be NSD 9/15, I'm going to count it now and that will hopefully keep it that way.
Lovely morning horse riding yesterday, rain stayed off and it was a beautiful crisp day, all change today and the rains back.
Managed 2 more items in the box to leave the house so 34/60.
Unicorns in Christmas hats sound fab!
