Sorry for being MIA yesterday, clearly the organiser bit of my brain is suffering as I got OH car insurance on the wrong license plate (same make, model and engine size) so then had to change that. Did have to swap providers as new quote was £40 and old providers refused to drop theirs. Went to Ald!, well timed special buys as got a new wheelbarrow wheel, weed suppressing membrane and weed killer (damn bindweed), then off to sainz but the YS stuff was all on shelves rather than in one place ☹️. Today I am grateful for getting washing on the line, going for a walk with LO in carrier, and for this hopefully being the last month before remortgaging

I am also going to keep an eye on nsd's as I need to keep a close eye on spending.
Grateful for:
Walk in park.  
Seeing a robin in the park.
Most of purchases for one order has come. Package etc has been sorted. Confirmation email to say that the last item is due for delivery on Monday.
Put the orders that I had put on the floor in my Mum's bedroom away. Was using her bedroom as a dumping area.  Now nice and tidy.
Having a reasonable night's sleep.

Today I’m grateful for
Having got out of the house for the first time in a while 
getting the washing dry in the sun
Cuddles with the dog
Having a dinner that’s created minimal washing up
Finially getting a reasonable quote for our new patio

Today I am grateful for my ankle being better enough to drive and go to aldee, for watching the Pottery throw down final, for dd doing some revision for her end of year exams, for needlefelting 1 1/2 dinosaurs, for drying the washing outside, for roses in bloom (seems bloomin' early to me...!)

Today's gratitudes:

Glass of fizz (not NASA grade gin-fuel - sorry!) tonight.

Gorgeous aubergine stirfry supper

Shiny clean bathroom with sparkly mirror

Decanting the rest of the  packets in the pantry into glass jam jars with address label labels on them and lining them all up in rows. Oh my!

Not having to use the tumble dryer to dry any laundry for over a fortnight now!

 5 minutes of skipping in the back yard, much to the amazement of the kids.  They did not know their mum could skip, or that she was so much better at it than they are

Finishing another book. It has gone to live in the c/s bag.

Good evening all 

Happy Anniversary F0xh0les! 22 years is impressive! I don't think I've ever managed 22 months!!!  At 47 I think I may be a lost cause now haha!!! I'm high maintenance! I don't think I could date me!!!    Congratulations on the weight loss too! You have now officially joined the 'pre-obese' club of which I am also a member! A.K.A 'I like my kettle crisps and pizza too much to ever be slim' group. 
Tanya - maybe it is just the red wine!?! I now feel obligated to work my way through each alcoholic beverage to test the aftermath the following morning lol. 

Today I am grateful for: 

1) Lots of laughs with Mum despite her being quite muddled today
2) For rediscovering and affirming what I want in a relationship from here on
3) Waking up feeling more positive!

Had a sleep over last night at the folks and we always end up having a laugh. It is tiring but rewarding. I always read how Mothernerd looks after her Mum with such dedication. I have my sister and brother to help me and it can be hard work still - so you do a sterling job MN 

Night in with a movie tonight and will no doubt be awake at midnight as my so-called power-nap turned into a 2 hour siesta!!! Must have needed it lol. 

Have a great evening folks!

Hi

I'm thankful for losing 6.5lbs in my first week of Slimming World, being able to go shopping and get 90% of what we wanted and for a delicious dinner that was simple to make and syn free   

Budgets have been set for this month and money shuffled around.

Spent in 2 different smkts today and still didnt get everything on my list took 2 hours and was exhausting - and expensive!

Thankful for watching a robin eating worms from the compost heap I was moving - so sweet - see it in the garden everyday,  family mealtimes, a long skype call with friends last night and playing online CaH.
