Midlife Musings and Measurable Goals

I enjoy crime thrillers on Netflix, I don’t watch many films. I have white lines on my list but have not started it yet. There are 7 series on Homeland on Netflix and I really enjoyed that (I didn’t want them in one go!) a crispy grilled bacon sandwich when all the jobs are done on a weekend and a little bit of Netflix lovely

Thanks @Seasidegal58. unfortunately the outbuilding still needs doing!
Thanks @beanielou glad you got a frog eaten too.
Thanks @savingholmes
Thanks @klew356 I've had a browse and there are many things I want to watch so will be saving it for treats once I've done something.

Well today has not gone according to plan and TBH I'm fine with that. I refuse to beat myself up.

The house is a mess again so I will look at my cleaning and organised book and take action. I broke a small glass that I've had for 20 years. It was beautiful panelled 1940's glass. Sigh. 

I've been AF for about 6 weeks but feeling like some fizz for a few days (won't/don't have it)

I had a letter from WTC and it threw me off balance as they have made errors ALREADY. So will write to them today (I need to keep a paper trail) and get used to them. 

I bought some organic cotton tea bags that came today. You put tea in them instead of using the teabags I have that have plastic in them. A great idea and only 55p. I also have coconut bristle pot and bottle brushes and they work great. 

So, a low key day. I will tidy up and do some cleaning but that's it for today. I will achieve more tomorrow

The organic tea bags are a good idea. I've never heard of them before!

Do you ever watch Madeleine Olivia's YouTube videos?  She's a young , minimalist, eco, vegan. She puts some great videos up there - lots of cheap, tasty recipes and good ideas on sustainability. She has a lovely personality and I have enjoyed watching her. 

Have a good weekend DIA

Shopped this morning and everything done under budget. My shop at Mr L was too high last week so this week I shopped savvier than usual: a few YS offers and buying the weekend offers. 

My F&V box came and all good there too.

It feels like it has taken ages but I think I’ve sorted out my shopping routine

I started the day clearing fox poo from my front garden. Nice! At least it made me notice the front garden is a mess as I cleaned poo. So, I spent a few hours clearing the front garden this afternoon. Greatly improved and to be honest I enjoyed it. I will do the same tomorrow if it isn’t too warm.

The house is still a mess but a bit less of a mess than yesterday...Still a work in progress.

Tomorrow I will go looking for a garden hose. Let’s see if I can get the pressure washer going.

Great going on the garden DIA 😼
Don't forget, we all leave things go a little in the home . I still do from time to time , but you're not exactly sitting on your backside and it'll get done when you're ready . 

I really wish I could eat the stuff you do , and my food bill would be much much cheaper.
Plus the free gvt package . The tea and biscuits are welcome .  Thankfully I never got onions and beetroot today 🤮
Anyway , keep plodding along 😼...

I like foxes 🦊
