NST Amazing August

Toni'sfriend

Thank you both. I'm going to leave it for a little while as I'm not sure if some restrictions might be reintroduced here in Scotland. There are certainly some warning signs. I would certainly try to get a first appointment. My neighbour has offered to colour my hair for me if need be. We could do that outside but it's the cut that's the problem. I suppose if all else fails my neighbour could colour it and I could find a way of tying it up. It's certainly long enough to do that now. I'm sure we'll find a solution.

You could think about finding a hairdresser that will come out and cut your hair outside? We had a great hair saloon outside earlier in the year, as I didn't want tons of hair everywhere in the house.

Toni'sfriend

That's certainly another solution. I think one of my other neighbours might know someone who might do that. Thanks

NSD No 1 (Hurrah)

Was so wet today we didn't get for a walk but I've been up and down these stairs at least a dozen times cleaning and moving things.

Confession. I had ice cream and strawberries for pudding last night. I don't have pudding very often. Still I've been avoiding snacking on sweet things.

Few things out of the freezer today including something which looked utterly indescribable that Himself had for lunch, It was the leftovers of some sort of rice/chicken dish. He said it was very tasty but it didn't look very appetising. Never mind. He ate it. Baked potatoes in the oven for dinner. Sneaked some broken things into a bin bag for disposing of when he's not looking. Why do people keep things that don't work and will never be used?

Hope the weather is better tomorrow so I can get out for a walk.

No idea, I'll ask my dh  

Strawberries protect your heart, increase HDL (good) cholesterol, lower your blood pressure, and guard against cancer. Strawberries are a sodium-free, fat-free, cholesterol-free, low-calorie food.  So there!  And ice cream, erm, well, less so, but it cools you down .. maybe... and is yummy.

I have ordered a big purchase on the cc. and so today is still NSD 3 and I am going to do everything possible to claw back at least half the money before the cc bill comes in. So made £5 on p/a today, and scraped another  £25 together from tidying  up accounts. So nearly 10% found already.

Gratitudes: managed to drag myself out for a run, and was home before 9am. Been good with the diet and am just waiting for results. Went into a shop, walked around, bought nothing, left.  The washing dried on the line, and a stain came out of a beautiful long piece of wedding sari material which is all the colours of the sunset, that I thought was ruined forever. I may have trashed one of dh's t-shirts and a pillowcase  though- it is heavily beaded so wrapped it in the pillowcase, forgot it was in there, and washed it with a full load of laundry - luckily we wear a lot of black in our house. Hence only 2 possible fatalities, and a slightly Titian  sock.

Oh thank you, F0xh0les, Any encouraging words on the fact that the strawberries had been marinating in brandy and sugar?

f0xh0les

It will have killed any bugs / bacteria / coronavirus, so really it was a civic duty and you must make everyone clean their strawberries in this way*.  It is the only responsible thing to do.

We are in this together.

And it tastes good. Thank you for the support.

Today I am grateful for a gf cafe living up to its reputation, for finding a rock and fossil shop, for texts with my cousin, for finishing another 1000 piece jigsaw, for good weather.

Thankful for eventually getting an exercise session in today (gone 7pm), for mostly dry weather, for a lie in, for using things up from the freezer

Small spend in Tesc0 (<£8) on some ys things - so actually counts as NSD

Goals - Food ok, exercise done, 10k steps achieved.

Frog - finally got ds3 to try on school pe kit - virtually everything too small. Need to sort an order for some tomorrow ... sigh...

Decluttering - small flebay sale
