NST March 2020 Merriment

NSD 7 today, got a lift into town with dh,  I got 2 pots of S&M houmous with my free £3 voucher from credit card points - lots of  people in masks!  - .  Paid a cheque in for DS3, then window shopped, just browsed until himself had finished his shopping and then he drove me home.  I was not trying not to spend money, it just did not happen.

Lunch was the last of the borscht with my free-to-me beetroot. Masses of salad with supper. This weight is shifting.  I will keep at it while I have the motivation - dh was scoffin' sausage rolls, I had soup (someone shine my halo for me)

Gandalf costume is now a hat and a beard, and a blanket with a pin for a cloak. - still need to cobble together an under-robe and find a pipe for him. 

Still have 16 family meals left in the house that can be rustled up at the drop of a hat.   I should not have to buy anything more than the odd ys salad leaf before Monday.  I feel like I know what I am doing.

Grateful for :  loving having dh home on strike. I still adore him, avocados, still having £60 credit left with the energy company after this month's bill was paid, only 3 weeks left until Easter holidays.

Hello everyone.  Here’s my update:
Walked an extra 1.67 miles a good effort for our personal challenge.
R&R - Not managing this at all.
Definitely need this as my brain is like mush!  Forgot my lunch today, not just forgot to take it, forgot to even make it!!!  Too much stuff in my mind!
Reduce - will sort ds dvd drawer tonight 
NSD - Still 5/15.  Bought birthday bits for my Dads 70th and treated ds to a new pencil case for doing great at parents evening (think I got off lightly in that)!
Gratitudes:
DH paying for my haircut this weekend and DS school trip that’s been landed on us today.
Getting some stuff organised.
Free wax melt sample ( although this may lead to a purchase if I like it).
Charity - A friend made a donation to our walking challenge. So sort of

Today I am grateful for scrambled eggs, for sunshine, for swathes of daffs, for an easy tea with plenty of leftovers, for buds and leaves starting to appear all over the place.

Good evening everyone!!!

First off, belated Birthday Wishes to Greent and Dolly! I hope you both had fantastic days! 

This week has been a whirlwind... Changes in my working life... it's been flat out preparing for an interview which I had Tuesday, and yay me - I got the job!!! Less hours but a promotion, so will pay off long term.  Today I have been totally wiped out - I think the stress of the last few days has frazzled my system. 

Spend days Mon/Tue. 
Today = NSD number 4

So much for my plan for 'just withdrawing £40 and using that'!!! I have the willpower of a gnat! I ended up using my card, although have put money aside out my budget to pay it off. Just waiting for the transactions to clear. Still on track otherwise. 

Today I am grateful for:

1) All of the signs and omens that pushed me on to apply for the job. Thank you Universe!!! 
2) All of the people who had faith in me when my own self-confidence was lacking
3) A day to rest and recuperate at home 

That's me for today! Night all x

Grateful for making what I hope is the right choice in a precarious situation, for leading (the easy group) in 5M hills club run and for a great day on new contract(they fed me!).

Abundant - CONGRATULATIONS!!! Does it involve moving to another city? Well done you!

Well done Abundant.

I am officialy sick to death of the coronovirus - I think they should just have let it run its course but the out of control response to it is scary.  They are acting like it is certain death, the media have caused so much of this, it is like a dream to them to fill up all the news hours they have, some guy has been on the news after coming home from a quarantined cruise ship and said that 90 of the staff on board had the virus but they had to carry on working and serving the passengers - I have never heard anything so ridiculous.

I watched that this morning dolly - the world has gone mad.

Abundant congrats on the promotion.,

Today another spendy day, meeting a friend for coffee and I am off work this  afternoon so probably get few groceries, need milk.

Grateful for

My recycling being somewhere near I left it last night, had to pick everything up this morning, smashed glass, so windy last night wasn't going out then.

Afternoon off today.

Gym new induction last night, feel more confident now and got programme to work to which helps my dodgy knee with stretching.

Wooo Hoooo!!! Abundant!! Yay!! Well done you!  Happy dance!

Did volunteering this afternoon - it was busy,  all  large families.  Everyone left happy with lots of food. yay!

Found 3 school shirts in next size up for DS3 in c/s. 

Gandalf costume made. It is hilarious, Awful and hilarious.  He is delighted. It is supposed to look homemade. It does.
