2 weeks off sounds great.

Well done on the surveys.

Hope you manage to reverse the pre diabetes. It's often doable with diet and exercise. I need to sort mine too

Thank you   I'm really looking forward to the time off.

I've got to get serious about the diet and exercise.

Happy weekend everyone   It's a nice feeling having the next two weeks off

I've ditched swimming today.  The kids don't mind.  It's very poorly ventilated and lots don't wear masks, so I don't want to take the risk.  It's not on for the next two weeks, and then we'll see how cases are looking then.  I'd be surprised if it stays open without any restrictions!

My plans for the next two weeks:

• Chilling out
• Reading
• Doing stuff with the kids
• Reading
• Getting back on the decluttering bandwagon
• Reading
• Cleaning
• Chilling out
• Reading 

Bit of a theme going on there  

I've also got my appointments with the doctor, nurse and hygienist (I regret booking this, but at least I'll have shiny clean teeth for Christmas!)

I might re-read my Marie Kondo books to inspire me.  I bought a scrapbook to try and do something nice with all my old holiday photos, but haven't done that, so I might give it a go.

I've got to do some meal planning and sort myself out, I also want to check my food stocks and order some extra in case the world goes to hell in January.  (More staff shortages everywhere than lockdown).

Have a good one everyone!

I have restocked my pantry although I didn't get flour. May add that to the list for Wednesday

I think it's definitely worthwhile.

Checked my existing pantry cupboard - and I have a full pack of SR flour and some plain flour so I think I'm fine for now. I am planning to make some cake though... I have a friend coming round Tuesday or Wednesday - and am having a neighbour on Boxing Day. I have loads of eggs (out of date but never had a problem).

That's good news, saves you a trip!  I need to get baking to use up some of my flour so I can replace it.  I always use out of date eggs too.  I've never had a problem.

Today my friend is coming up with her son and the kids are all going to do parkrun.  Then we'll probably pop to the farm shop for doughnuts.  I'm doing so well on my healthy eating! 🙄

We've all got little bites and I'm not sure where they've come from as the animals are regularly flea treated.  So I'm going to get some flea spray, and also hot wash all the bedding and have a good hoover round daily for a few days.  It will encourage me to clean and hopefully declutter as we go!  Blooming annoying though.

Cashed out £14 on PA, so will send that to the mortgage.  I've got a few surveys to catch up on so will try and do that.

Have a good day everyone

Everyone deserves a doughnut at the weekend!

Well done on the surveys and the park run. Ouch to little bites. Hope you resolve the source. I really must get around to flea treating our cat... I may ask DD to help me later - need to find the pack first. We have a pack of six though.

Thank you   It is so frustrating, but hopefully it will all clear up quickly.
