Tuesday- still on NSD 9/15. 
Dog walk but no other exercise- made 10000 steps but not many more 🤣
Gratitudes- more food from the freezer eaten (there is now an empty half drawer so that's progress), a warm day even though it's coming into winter, day off tomorrow.

Nice work on getting the tip offs @f0xh0les!  I really really miss pottering around English charity shops!

Yesterday and Monday were super productive for me... I am feeling pretty good. 

Health

Exercised -  10 min run and 10 min cycle yesterday, 15 mins on Mon, poco a poco. 

Eating MUCH better this week… it;s only day 3 but I feel good for it. who knew one could get full on a greek salad and fruit for dinner?? 

batch cooked and listened to podcasts 

Wealth

Wrote some teaching drills and planned other classes 

put up an advert on a community website offering free translations (trying to build a portfolio) 

Researched potential jobs.

Monday and yesterday were NSDs. now on 6/15.

Life well lived

Not enough done on this this week. 

Grateful for

Happy Birthday Nanny G

Had a good walk yesterday might have been longer but came across a field of cows, tad nervous so didn't enter field plus I then saw a beware of the bull sign, in the field just walked through eek. 15K in the bag.

Today It is my meal out with friend, so also spent on bread and fruit plus stocked up on Superdrg deal I saw on here. Will be sparkling with all that shower gel, going to use some as stocking fillers. Used my points up so only a small spend even better.

Cleared £200 off my cc so only £300 now left to pay, trying not to touch my savings. Not starting with debt ever again.

Bumped into guys who did my driveway last night, anyway they have now replaced the one brick which was damaged. Might buy some kiln sand after work  to fill in a few bits. Thinking of sealing it before the winter to stop it fading and weeds/ moss growing.

Better day in work, bosses now talking a bit to each other, it is really stressing me out last few days they are like kids.

Still having dizzy feeling, hopefully few days off Thurs/Friday and Mon/Tues will help. Decided to use hols whilst its dry.

Greent. I feel bad never went back to giving blood after 1 year ban, I thought they contacted you but apparently now in Wales you need to make the appt. I will try when next advertise around here. I used to eat black pudding, for the week before and iron supplement and I was still on the borderline, healthy enough but if they take it takes you below healthy level.

Foxholes sounds exciting your tip off

Grateful for

Being a Friday for me today.

No cooking this evening

Managed to msg ~Ticketmaster re gift card, buy ticket but transaction never went through but my £20 gift card balance still got taken. Not holding out much hope of recovery but I will try, the ways of a turtle are instilled in me. Fight on !

Think ahead, plan ahead,

then have one kid sent home sick. Bleugh! Oh well, he managed 11 days of school.  He is not allowed back until Monday.

So he is tucked up on his bed with a cup of tea and a book.  He can't be that ill - he wanted to eat my lunch instead of his own!

Wonder what we can all accomplish with a 100 day time scale....

Good evening...

100 days?!?! Whatever happens then? Could it be C...Chr.... Ssshhhh! I don't want anymore elves shot on my behalf!!! Scarred for life by that one haha

No new NSDs to add due to berry and veg haul, I must plan better, eat less or get a bigger fridge!!! 

Steps and gym going well - staying super motivated. Mindfulness needs work - bit hit and miss. Two nights on the run stuck to my bedtime routine - no caffeine after 3pm, winding down, having a shower... dimming the lights... dousing myself in lavender oil - then staying wide awake for over an hour listening to every pin drop and person on the street coughing or car whizzing by! WHY??? Lol. My internal saboteur id determined to not let me change!!! 

Catch you tomorrow!

I feel your pain @abundant1972 I cannot believe how loud people are being outside, and at ridiculous o'clock in the night as well.  There is only so much you can control, and when you go to bed, or wake up in the middle of the night, it is like your brain is trying to make sense of it all by running around like a hamster in a wheel.   Stupid brains!

The trees outside my kids schools are full of enormous acorns and pine cones (not the same tree obv) - in case anyone is thinking of more natural decorations this next 110 days or so, they are falling off  in bucket loads.

Thanks to resting for two days bits of my body are working today so moved lots of pots (as many as possible using the dolly truck), then furniture that has been put to use in the polytunnel. Little piles of various classes of useful items. One load of washing done and line dried, quite a lot more sewing (using as many tiny pieces of thread as possible), no money spent so far but will do a food order at some point.

Grateful for a cool day, finding my book (think I have 4 part read as they keep falling under or behind things), good progress.

Lavender oil is usually calming and relaxing- but not for everyone- for a few it can be stimulating if used by itself. It's often best in a combination of oils - a -synergy' effect
