2020 a year to be mindful.

Glad the holiday is sorted and you can relax a bit, hopefully by the time things have sorted a bit you can have a fabulous time away. Great to freshen up the clothes, amazing what a dye can do!

Hope you're all well, H x

Glad you got the result you wanted from the holiday.  I've got to pay the balance of my August holiday in June, I'm expecting it to be cancelled but you never know as things seem to be evolving quite rapidly in Spain. If we have to quarantine when we get back so be it.  Fortunately I'll be able to work from home and Mr SA doesn't work. Anyway things will no doubt change a lot between now and then.  Good to freshen up the clothes with the dye, it seems a waste at the moment to buy new things, I'm living in work out clothes most of the time.

Morning,
Half term this week so off and then back to it full time from June 1st, was in work yesterday sorting classrooms  .
This week has been good and have received lots of payments from various places, £40 in M&S vouchers from surveys/Microsoft rewards, £25 from onepoll, £25 from opinium research and £5 mastercard from isay, also had an email to say that im getting £25 back for DS March bus pass as he only used it for 2 weeks and then school were closed.
Plans for today were to get out in the garden, but its cold and windy, so might just sow some radish and rockets seed as can do this in the garage, Will also hoover through downstairs and do a general tidy up.
Had an email asking if I would be wanting to send DD back to school on a part time bases, she is yr12 and it looks as though they are looking at half a day per subject, so that would be 3 half days but its the logistics of her getting there and back as I don't want her to travel on public transport and myself and DH are at work full time, but we will cross that bridge when we know more.
Need to dig out a piece of beef for tomorrow night tea, pasta tonight and need to do some baking, although im out of cocoa powder and struggling to buy it, last recipe I used drinking chocolate that I had in the cupboard and nobody complained.
Enjoy the bank holiday xx

Enjoy your week off.  I managed to get cocoa powder from Tesco last week.  I've also used drinking chocolate before. No one notices!

I hunted down a bag of SR flour, eventually got one, still not baked 🤣

Ooh drinking chocolate- my mum used to buy it and I used to eat the powder straight out of the tin when I was little. Never liked the actual drink made up though 🤣

Enjoy your week off 👍

Hi I`m amazed you got £25 from One Pol - all the surveys are 10p and 20 p.   Did it take ages?

Hi, yes it took around 6 months, but I just leave the tab open on my laptop and keep popping onto it during the day, I quite like the fact they only take a few minutes to do, so can easily do some whilst eating lunch or watching TV.
