    Hi
    Yay its Friday! looking forward to not having to Zoom for two days. 
    Been for a walk around the park and done the dishes
    Spoke to SC about missing docs and some income updates, feels like its taking a long time to set up
    I had a bagel for lunch, dinner tonight is veggie burgers and salad

    I have so many tidying jobs to do this weekend, but also fancying doing some painting as my hallway has been half done for over a year 
    Have a good day all

    Morning all

    More rain here. I'm really pleased about it - the garden is really benefitting. I can't wait to see how much the allotment has grown.

    I feel really tired again today. I don't know why, I am getting good sleep and this seems to be confirmed by my new tracker. Oh well, just keep looking after oneself eh?

    Today's mse things:
    :cookie: B/L from stores. OH did wonder about ordering dinner in but I might cook something. - we've decided on just picky bits for dinner.  
    :cookie: Reconcile budget sheet - done. Moved my redundancy money to the savings account with the most interest. We need to look at some other savings accounts.
    :cookie: Walk later. It's supposed to come drier and brighter - done. Went on my own an called mother.
    :cookie: Make some cinnamon and raisin bread - done. Looks FIT.
    :cookie: Make some spice mix for chicken kebabs - done
    :cookie: Change towels - done
    :cookie: Gentle exercise - probably will do stretching rouitne - did a not-too-strenuous upper body routine.
    :cookie: No alcohol - don't have any in anyway haha
    :star:Dry and bright and windy. Might check the lawn and mow it if not too wet still.
    :star:Had a pootle round the garden and pulled up a few weeds
    :star: Wanted to go to local DIY shop but socially distanced queue of 5 outside so I decided to come home empty handed.
    :star: Had a tidy round of the spice cupboard
    :star: Mopped kitchen floor with bleachy water that I had prepped for washing DIY items

    Have a good one all

    Morning all. Hope the shops queues are kind Narola. I’m so glad I don’t have to do that at the moment. Not been in a shop for 12 weeks now and (apart from the local butchers) I’ve not missed it at all! 

    Today’s list:
    DH is going to make a big batch of soup 
    something of meal plan for tea
    snacks will be cake DD made yesterday for her brownie badge. 
    Email details of ^^ to brownies so she can get awarded her badge. Possibly do some work on another badge with her later. 
    Some housework. DH did some midweek so not so much to do today 😃
    some knitting
    continue with self care - use some lotions and potions I’ve been gifted. Feels cold here today, may have a long soak in the tub later. 
    put away washing from airer - no ironing here! 
    Try and paint one area or at least prep it. 
    Put washing machine on self clean cycle 
    Write and post fathers day cards 

    have a good day all. Purps.

    Switch printer to black and white, we don’t need the school logo in colour! 

    Are you able to edit the document so you don't print the school logo? 
    I would be in touch with the school asking them to either send the work without the logo (they can always use a header or footer in small to add their details) or a cover sheet which you can opt not to print.

    Morning folks

    Quick check in from me as I have a zoom call at 9 (I think - link not sent yet!). Feeling slightly less groggy this morning despite less sleep and a disturbed night (OH bouncing all over the bed in his sleep). Weirdly my new tracker confirms this. I'm enjoying the new tracker. I'm a bit of a data junkie anyway but I found it really helpful so far. Ever since I was sick last year, my brain's default setting is to panic and try to conserve energy at the slightest hint of exertion. When I was doing my little workout yesterday, my brain was saying "stop! don't do it! Your heart is beating out your chest!" but because I was monitoring my HR, I could see that it was only peaking at about 120bpm, which gave me more confidence :smile:

    Anyway, mse things:
    :cookie: B/L/D from stores - done
    :cookie: Log cals in free app (going well so far but only wk 1!) - done
    :cookie: No alcohol - done
    :cookie: Prep lunch/snacks for tomrrow - done
    :cookie: Put out clothes etc for tomorrow. I'm finding this quite useful. - done
    :cookie: Poss do a bit of work-related study ( :lol: ) - yeh right
    :cookie: Wash hair with water. I am trying to transition to a water only wash. Yesterday I swapped OH's brush (bristles) with mine (plastic spines). He preferred my brush and I need bristles if i'm going to WO.  - done
    :cookie: Def go the the allotment to check on things. Probably won't do any digging as it'll be wet and muddy - done. We did dig as it was just a bit damp. Soil is very sandy so it was fine.
    :star: Also mowed the lawn and stuck a bit more "seed and feed" down

    Have a good one all
