  • Thursday- going to count today as a NSD already, have no intention of going to the shop so should be fine. That means I end the month on 18. Have "underspent" on food, entertainment, fuel and no cost for sports clubs etc so more money left in the current account than normal. Been paid my "furloughed" wage so must be very vigilant in May that I keep costs down. 
    Gratitudes really just that we have survived April, DD has done some school work, we have exercised and more or less coped with just each others company! See you all in May.

    I have 13/15 NSD with no plans to spend today but the day is still young!
    I'm normally very much a homebody but even I am feeling a bit anxious just being at home all the time.  Maybe we will go down to the river later and just watch the water.
    Gratitude:
    we're all still well.  It's not snowing here.  Warm, clean beds.  Summer IS coming...it's slow but it is coming!  Chocolate and cheese-the staffs of life!  :)

    Apple  - Thanks for running this month's thread.

    Sorry that I have not been on to give an update for most of the month.  Had lost my motivation due to my mh.  I have managed to get 25 nsd's.  I have ordered some eco friendly products from 2 different eco friendly companies.  I also had to order a few things from my favourite shop for things that had to be replaced and 2 other things.  They all should arrive by next week. I need to get into more of a routine as I am not working and have not been going out for my daily walk in the park which is really close to my flat.  I have pulled out of the mh programme as I was not benefitting from it.  They were doing zoom meetings every Wednesday.  I need to my food shopping tomorrow so have prepared the shopping list.  Also I need to do some other things whilst I am out.  I have put them on my shopping list so I can see what I need to do. A charity 5k event that I had entered in July was cancelled for that park.  I managed to get my entry transferred to a different location which was postponed to a later date. Sending hugs to those in need of them.  
    Grateful for:
    Catching up with a few things around the flat.  Starting to read a new book.  Getting things ready for tomorrow for my food shop etc. Mindfulness colouring.  Watching a Carry On film.
