NST September 2020: the turtles do the Hokey Cokey

Calling14

I am back, putting my left leg in, left leg out.............

Anyway as I spent last month on a new drive, decided to aim hard and save this month, as I now have no debts, mortgage oh maybe this months credit card £350 put car insurance and concert tickets on it oops.  So need to pay that off and save 1k this month. So food shopping will be low spend, car mini service and hair appt for me booked in already. Luckily September no bdays. Might re join the gym which as old fuddy duddy works out at £22 a mth.

Grateful for

Portable heater in my office today - tad chilly first thing.

Left over Roast dinner for tea, no cooking and no excuse to not do some walking.

My hair having a good hair day for a change, masses of curls, tad wild  but hey that is me.

Hello everyone. A few new faces this month so welcome.

NSD No 1

Eventually sorted out the banking problem after a lot of faffing about and got Amazon to agree to replace the items missing from the damaged package after even more faffing about. Do you think they make it difficult deliberately? Couldn't hang out my washing because my line is again full of someone else's (they haven't taken in the stuff that I moved either). So mine is upstairs drying.

However, I phoned the hairdresser to clarify some points about my upcoming appointment and organised some things for our holiday. Managed to dispose of some stuff when Himself wasn't looking. Made a meal plan and a list of things that  must be done this month. And despite the stress I have stuck to my healthy eating plan. No exercise, though. Naughty me.

All in all not too bad a start.

Toni'sfriend - I have an image of you sneaking out of the flat with Himself's stuff shoved up your jumper...

Not quite, Apple, but only because I hadn’t thought of it. Not a bad idea.

NSD today 1/20.
Managed to find a tiny amount to declutter. Binned some things and put some things into recycling.  Got 1 item that I can put into a cs.  I already have 2 items that need to go to the recycling centre at some point this month.  These were from last month.
Grateful for:
Been able to book my hair appointment for this Saturday.
Going for a walk, posted the expression of wish form for one of my pensions whilst out.
Decent night sleep.

Started with a good day of exercise + my first nsd. It always feels like a good start to the month when that happens.

Today was recyc collection day, but I don't think that counts as decluttering...

Dd did declutter a tooth, although she brought it home in an envelope, so strictly speaking, she failed to declutter it!

Today I am grateful for dh having some extra work, for managing to read through a good couple of hundred pages of docs for work and still be able to string a sentence together at the end of it, for dd coping well with the tooth extraction, for the Tour (this may well recur on a daily basis as it is on for 3 weeks and I lurve it!), for enjoying my yoga sessions.

Most of my standing orders have gone out today so I pretty much know what I have left. I got a call to let me know my glasses are ready to pick up so I need to either wait and pick them up Sunday or get the ok from work to finish early and make the time up. Will see what my boss says tomorrow. I’ve been doing a bit of knitting today and am just about to start the decreasings on the back so progressing ok with that. I’m hoping to write in my journal before I go to sleep so will go up a bit early to give me time to do so.

Today I’m grateful for having a fairly easy and quiet day at work, seeing two of my nieces on a zoom call and receiving a couple of items I bought online last Friday in the post today.

Good evening!

Apple and Mothernerd... Since when did Santa become a member of the mafia?!?! You're saying that every time I say 🎄 an Elf gets it? I shall hereby hence forth speak of it no more!!! Haha!

Today = NSD number 1

Had a busy day at work... Made a conscious effort to get to bed early last night... a hot shower... lavender oil... in bed by 21:30 and couldn't sleep a wink! Normally I drop straight off! So - feeling sleepy. Did my gratitude list as I drove into work. I must look mad chattering away to myself haha! 

Have a good evening folks. Good to see you all again x

First day went swimmingly for me, makes a change but no yoga here Apple as I cant bend and stand on one leg for long enough lol. Anyway....
Health - went to the allotment and started digging over a small bed making it ready for winter and cleared the polytunnel as much as I could, so that was my exercise.

Food wise I have as last eaten up all the goodies in the house (including the chip mountain) that the dgd1 didn't eat when I looked after her for the summer hols, so I can go back into SW tomorrow showing a good weight gain!!!! Im actually looking forwards to going as I have missed the people there.

Wealth- Budgets all done the other day and credit card paid off in full. I use it to buy groceries as I get extra points and then pay it off when the bill comes in.
Need to put a plan in for …… I don't want another elf shot, I like elves!!! but I will have to have a think about it.
Today has been a nsd but tomorrow or Thursday I will have to go shopping, but I may just see how long I can last for.

Life - I have put all appts, childcare etc onto calender by the kettle so I can see it all at a glance (how organised am I - not normally!!)

Gratitudes - allotment, talking to dds and garlic bread.
