1LuckyLady

Morning all,  Thanks @PurpleFairy26 for this weeks thread.  I struggle to get on on a Monday at the minute as I need to spend time with ds2 getting his work organised as it comes in on a Monday morning,  then I spend the day playing catch up. 
In the way of small things today I have
* been for a run at 6:15am and a walk just now with ds2 (our exercise rules changed yesterday)
* washed a load and pegged out on the line
* ran the dishwasher on the quick wash
* sorted out leftovers for lunch and tidied the fridge ready for an icyland delivery later
* checked banking/updated spreadsheet
* hoovered around everywhere that needed it as soon as I heard movement upstairs this morning! 

Thats about it,  take care all.

Many thanks for starting us off Purps. I am also confessing to being an infrequeant flyer. Life just seems to merge into one at the minute. Got up this morning thinking it was Wednesday!
It was a traumatic weekend for the family. On Sat we rushed a family cat to the vets. A solid 16 years old we thought it was an infection and thought he would be placed on a drip. Turns out it was cancer Came on so suddenly and there was nothing that could be done. Sunday one of my cats went walk about. I was just in bits. 
Ive just left all paperwork this week and concentrated on diy touch ups, thats all i seem to want to do.
*Banking has been checked every day,everything good.
*Finally got my spends book back up and running. 
*Been really good with food. Really stuck to minimal waste. Have never eaten so well. Both me and DD have put weight on!
*Up to date with birthday presents.have used RM stamps to send and popped a handwritten note with each to make sure friends/family are safe
*Completed my 4th Christmas shoebox last night. Really trying to use time wisely but out of shoeboxes now 
There is bound to be something i missed, will prob remember later!
I hope everyone is keeping safe and well x

Hi everyone

Cold and dull today and totally lost track of what day it is too.  Today's plans don't involve a great deal as sore throat and shocking ear-ache and there's not much needs doing :

Check Bank & made PAD - Done  
Spoke to mum (and will again later) -
Craft - 
Purge a few emails - 
Enter a few comps - 
All meals from cupboards/fridge/freezer -
Check: Lucky Bob, PMP, WinaDinner -

Have a great day everyone!

PS We also have a small "Small Things" facebook group if anyone would like to join - you get to chit chat a little more and sometimes even put a face to a name

@Happy_Kitties sorry to hear about the cats

Has the one that wandered off come back?

Hi May Mayhem-Avoiders,

Just a quickie. My world has become a big work-fest. Hence my absence over the last 6 weeks.

We are now on our sixth year of being debt-free.

Debt-Free-Nillionaire Continuity Plan Year Six:

Checked online banking.
Alarm clock off at the wall during day time.
Drink only water for a couple of hours.
Turn off Wifi box when not using it.

Made wild garlic pesto.

Free exercise - cycling.

Modest Wedding Anniversary celebration yesterday.

Replaced broken window catch with one bought online. It took three weeks to come through the post from 300 miles away. These are the times we live in, I guess.

Swept and mopped floor instead of hoovered and mopped.

Happy anniversary for yesterday Ally. Nice to 'see' you back

Morning all,
Thanks for the list @allydowd
@ziggy2407 what's the fb group called?  There seem to be lots on there so wanna join the right one!
Yesterday was a difficult day, sat at my computer for hours and achieved very little, hoping today will be more productive.

- soak the white jumpers I didn't do yesterday (have put them at the top of the stairs in the hope I'll take them down when I make my next cuppa)
- plant some herbs that I bought yesterday and replant some veg from greenhouse to outside
- exercise and meditate
- all food from stores: overnight oats for breakfast, left over fritatas from last night for lunch and meat free balls and spaghetti for tea
- hopefully some wfh

Hope everyone has a good day
R
