Midlife Musings and Measurable Goals

MovingForwards

That is a perfect weekend mixed bag and an even better table is waiting for you.
Sometimes I think we forget we are human, with feelings and it takes a passing conversation to stir something inside us.

Sounds like food for the soul.
What a lovely lady to meat.

Thanks MF. I hope the table turns up soon!

Thanks beanie. The lady was such an inspirational person. I've missed conversations with strangers

That sounds like a fabulous day...well worth the spends ⭐️

Thanks @WinterWarrior I don't regret a penny I spent

What a great day!  The Clinique bargains sound excellent. 👍

Thanks @Seasidegal58. I used to spend lots of money on that brand before I became debt free so it is nice to be able to dip in in a MSE way. Also, gifted one set to a friend in Oz as I am always on the look out for low weight items to send

Glad you had a great and well deserved weekend DIA 😼

Today I have already dropped off the little one at nursery and had a catch up with my sister.
I have also been to Lid1 where I picked up a £1.50 veg box. I will be making mushroom and lentil soup as there was a punnet of organic mushrooms. There were 2 punnets of blackberries in there so I had one of those with yoghurt for breakfast. Loads of other goodies in the box too. Two soft avocados will become guacamole later.

I'm also eating cake (for breakfast!) as I made a flourless Elizabeth David chocolate cake that I love. Not making it again as I eat too much of it!

Lady Luck is with me as I have had a few more PB wins! 2 of £25 and one of £100. Half of each win will be saved.

I'm off to the hospital now, but I won't have to do this after this week ends

My frog today (just one) is to get a form completed and sent off.

Wishing you all a positive week ahead

doingitanyway

Well the sending the form frog has been done, albeit a day late.

Relative is back home. 

I found a brand new flat double sheet brand new in unopened packaging. It was £20 but I got it for £8 in a CS. Really pleased, so now I have 2 good sheets for relative. I found a beautiful fabric purse too. I gave that to my sister. You never know with her, but she loved it.

Soup and salad today. I could still cut my food bill down but hey ho, not going to beat myself up...

Nights are getting muggy. I'm thinking of a fan from the man who also designs hoovers but they are so expensive! However, I said that about his hoovers and i wouldn't be without one now, so...

I found out my fellowship due in July will have to wait until after September due to C19 rules in Scotland

I bought some aftershave for a godson. It is his birthday tomorrow so he has a birthday tea on his mother's allotment

@in_need_of_direction has been talking about weight gain and I am struggling to lose weight too. I hope I have not crept into the obese zone. As she says, it is such a ugly word...

I'm doing rubbish at spending less. I joined a NSD thread. How many do you think I have had this month? That's right. None. 

I hope everyone is ok.

MovingForwards

Hope relative settles back in quickly.
Gifts sound great, always nice finding bargains.
The fans have good reviews, it would move with you, but is a lot of money for something not used all year round.
September isn't too far away and it's worth the wait!

All still sounding good DIA 😼
I got my dyson when I moved , and although expensive I am so glad I did . I got the larger one ( the tower). I got it from qvc of all places as they always seem to promote them.
As well as cool air , the hot air was a life saver when my boiler packed up so it had more than one use . I'm not really helping ..
As for the weight , I still say you should weight until you're settled ( sorry😺).

Regarding the muggy weather ; we were warned, but I woke up at 2.45 with a raging headache . I hate humidity . So  about  2 hrs after I took ibuprofen💊💊I was ok.
I've just taken ibuprofen before bedtime 🛌. Plus I've got the dyson ready .
I'll leave it there ...🥵

WinterWarrior

I love the look of those fans, but can’t justify the spend. If I could, I would!
for the NSD’s I find calling early helps. Once you’ve said it you have to follow through...or creep back and explain 🤣

I couldnt justify the dyson so i got a challenge one from argos replacing the 10 year old one i had previously, works a treat
