Could I join please.

Oh abundant. Every time you say the 'C' word before November, Father 'C' has to shoot an elf. Use ''C' word, blank out letters with asterisks, refer vaguely to that festival, end of year thing, anything to keep those poor elves alive.

Pinch punch first of the month and no returns!

I am just back from the school run.  Social distancing while kids are sat down might be possible.  Herding a 200+ kid  excited year bubble through one gate into a new (to them) building is not social distancing. Utter utter carnage.  We will see how it goes at chucking out time.

Going to tidy up some accounts and overpay the mortgage down to 'tidy numbers'. and  make a plan for the month.

Hello lovely turtles, I haven't posted for an eternity but I've been lurking and reading and I'd love to join for September if you'll have me

Hello September, I don't why but I love this time of year.

Will set a plan out to get fit and healthy after eating my exciting salad with my homegrown tomato for lunch. Feel better after 2 big walks over the weekend.

Today focusing on changing my tariff for energy due end of this month and booked my car in for mini service as my oil looks black.  Might take a few days holidays next week as weather looks nice and treat myself to a night or two away.

Back later x

Hi there, joined once before but only lurked... then disappeared for a while... didn't know the NST story until today, very groovy! I love the holistic approach of this challenge each month, and am keen to give it a better go this time So, the plan for the month... HEALTH: minimum of 5000 steps a day, and aim for a good few 10K days; eat a lot of allotment produce, as it 'tis the season to be harvesting everyday! Limit red wine to max. 500ml which is 2 large glasses... still a lot, but better than have been doing .... and create a space in lounge to try some youtube yoga and zumba and see how the dodgy shoulder / hip take it fingers crossed getting slowly better. WEALTH: Stick to the household grocery budget we worked out last month (one of our biggest overspend areas for sure); Join September's make £10 a day challenge and put earnings towards a 1% at a time 100 square, (first one set at 500); sort out paperwork enough to prepare a more detailed budget next month. STUFF: Deffo want to de-clutter and get selling... more than a month's worth of work there but hope to make some really good progress now that school hours will be my own again. PLUS: be on the lookout for RAOK opportunities... even if close to home to start with. Grateful for my big cat and new little brother rescue kitten; the said allotment; and being in a much more settled home than this time last year I hope everyone has a fab start to the month x

Hi Shrewbie!!

AuctionFever - having sprained both ankles during lockdown (3 months apart, I took me to the hospital..,), and then having made both knees swell up (L is much worse than R) 2 weeks ago as I overdid the weights, I am using September to get going with Yoga. I'm doing 30 days of Yoga with Adriene -  all free on utube. I totally recommend her!
