Moving forward and upwards

MovingForwards

Thanks SH and DIA

I'm very careful with using my CC and clearing it, once bitten and all that! I'm also accountable by being open, posting when I do use it and saying about balances and payments.

Today we've been for a trip around the wider area, came back to the village, had a walk along some of the coastal route and former quarry. Absolutely breathtaking, sun was shining and I took some photos; I'm planning my next trip only with lunch and my DSLR.
- so many ideas for painting, shapes, sizes, colours.

On the way home I remarked to TomBo about how much we have on our doorstep, the views from the flat and how lucky we are.

The more I see, the more I want to see.

Although I'm not weighing myself, I have started to lose weight based on my clothes.

Having beef, mushroom, kale and spuds for tea.

You sound like you've had a lovely trip out with stunning scenery. Well done on the weight loss too.

Thanks SH, it was another day which made me feel alive and like hibernation is coming to a close.

Well done on weight loss. 🤗Sounds like a lovely day hope the illness is now gone

Thanks Skinty, hopefully another day or so and I should be back to normal. Haven't a clue what it was and hopefully won't have it again 🤭

As long as it’s not Covid 😱

I can't say it's definitely not Skinty! 
I've been woken up in the middle of the night with various things ranging from hic ups to a migraine, those stopped. One evening my feet just ballooned and rashes appeared an hour later, which started spreading up my one leg. Then for the best part of 5 days I've had random bouts of dodgy tummy. Everything is now reverting to normal 😃

Thank you RL, spring is here, weather has turned a corner and I'm coming out of hibernation, feels like I've been tucked away for months this winter.

SOs and most DDs came flying out my account today and I moved the bulk money to savings. It felt good seeing the savings jumping up.

TomBo is working in the garden and is popping to the orange D1Y shop tomorrow. I've provided the hallway paint details; apparently he is going to do it, under supervision of the boss (cat); it will be nice to get that done.

My earrings and fizzy water co2 arrived.

All windows are open again, lovely blue sky and the birds are happy.

£328 in the bank 25 days until payday.

Glad you are feeling more on an even keel. Waking with migraine is awful.
Your finances look organised and under control.
What are you eating later? I love hearing about your food

Thank you DIA

Had a very late break and went outside for a bit, was good to have a summer dress on and feel the sun.

Put two of my earrings (studs) in. So far I've turquoise, pink and clear although it's more like a rainbow of colours when the light hits it. I'm deciding whether to buy more colours for the rest, add another pink and clear or leave it and add no more. 
- I'm slowly building the visual 'me' back up as I've reached the right place mentally.

Just been watching the sunset through the lounge windows, lots of reds and purples, now it's lilacs, pale orange and yellow. 
- I'm trying to take in as much as I can, then use my interpretation in the art I produce. 

I've swapped semi-skimmed for skimmed in my smoothies, that will free up a few cals for an extra snack or higher cal evening meal.

Had pork chops, mash and kale for tea, pudding is 0yk0s yoghurt and I will have a banana later.
