Just seen that snow is forecast for Wednesday onwards ☃️!
Clothes - No real
effort made today wearing usual Sunday jeans & casual top.
New music/ dance - nope not today 👎 
Dates - 3/3 achieved and enjoyed.
Self care - lie in this morning & nails filed and polished
Debts / Budget - Tried full food shop at Aldee today spent the same but got so much more.  Had to go to t£sco for few bits but my grocery budget this month is over by £4.80, for a 5 week month I’m chuffed with that.  Will carry this on next month to see if we can save money & have fuller cupboards
NSDs - still 4/8 due to food shop today but should just manage it by Saturday.
Gratitudes - hubby coming shopping, t£sco scan & pack, lie in
Stayway - achieved 😊

Today i am grateful for a chat with a friend, for some great kids at kids klub, for dd wanting to go away camping in the summer, for starting to plan a trip to Canada, for the rugby, for my kettlebell, for dh having some extra work this coming week, for the daffs starting to flower, for modern tech making life so easy in many ways.

@BadBookkeeper - can you dye the greying jeans back to black. Clothing dye is cheap and works a treat on jeans. 

House tidy and managed to spend a couple of hours relaxing this morning knitting. Rustled up a ‘free’ roast dinner, last of Christmas meat out of the freezer along with cauli cheese, hm Yorkie puds and stuffing previously frozen from leftovers. Just veg to add. Was scrummy and extra space in the freezer to boot. 

Gratefuls:
first daffodils in the garden
fence still standing 
blue sky and sunshine this afternoon

Today I am thankful for: passing on some food items that we didn't like so they've not been wasted, getting heaps of YS items in Tesc0, having a plasterer come around and quote (finally - although I won't be going with him, I didn't take to him for some reason and I like having workmen in the house I feel comfortable with), making a decision on handbags (you wouldn't believe how hard I've found that!! ), DS2 fixing something of his he'd taken apart to look at a looong time ago.....

Was bothered about how long it would take me to do it in the new format. It looks better after it's posted, was weird when I was typing.
