Hi another long work day will bring lunches, cooked dinner last night for today to just heat up when getting home. Boy will sort dog and - will I go for a run when I get home? Probably not, still have a bit of a heel splint after my skipping adventure last week. WiIl have to start that up a lot slower next time. 
Anyways lessons are easy today - 4  x the same 1,5 hour lesson. but nicely spread out from 8.45 to 6.15 - is that legal. I find it challenging.
Should be NSD - no time to spend money!
 Anyways have a good one.

Morning, been awake for an hour so have pottered around, emptied the dishwasher, listed a pair of shoes on ebay and read the newsletter

Still to do
* need to run some errands to get bits for decorating projects. Kitchen hit a hitch yesterday as some of the plaster has blown. Need to decide whether to attempt to do ourselves, pay someone (least favored option) or wait until Nov when my brother can do it and secret 4th option decorate but just leave the patch to do after my brother...
* fill cracks in kitchen and start sanding hallway (think I will move on to hallway in the interim....)
* load of washing & hang on heated airer have managed to get it on the line for a bit, has cleared up and is blowy
* something from freezer for dinner
* carry on knitting sock
* list a couple of things to be sold 
* make jam and chutney - check jars first....

Ok think that's me. Have a good day

Morning all

Up early as usual, dog walk done, kitchen clean up done, and I have a batch of pumpkin (or in this case, butternut squash) and apple chutney simmering. Another spicy one, smells lovely

My brother is coming round with a load of washing - first time for ages, and naturally, he would choose a wet day   I am a bit conflicted about him coming round, as he works in a food factory in a town that has had covid cases, but I will keep my distance and hope for the best. The incidence in this area is still thankfully low, for now at least.

Anyway, other things:

Put a casserole in the SC for later

Pay milk bill and check banks

Shopping will arrive in a couple of hours, so that will need dealing with

I have 2 more ebay parcels to pack, may walk to post office to post them, but will probably wait till tomorrow when I will be in town anyway.

Hope everyone is having a good day

Morning folks

Been skipping over the thread a bit quickly so my apologies if I missed something critical. Sorry to hear about the leak 1LL.

WFH today but my internet/laptop connection is driving me insane. It keeps dropping the connection momentarily. Other than that I appear to have a cold. Def a cold as stuffy nose, sore sinuses, no temp, no coughing. Snot has gotten into my ear which is making me a bit dizzy too.

Covid-wise we are under a local lockdown but are still having to go to m-i-l's. Essentially dt her mental health, she is a vulnerable adult. If no one is with her, she just lays in bed and cries

Just a bit grumpy now but no money being spent so that's a plus!

Have a good one all

Good Afternoon everyone

Bit miserable here today, we're all now full of cold, DD has just dropped dogs off for us to dog sit as she's back to work tomorrow and her mum is in hospital, so far

Checked Bank & made PAD 
Spoke to mum (and will again later)
Made 2 apple cakes (one with cinnamon, one with ginger - oops perhaps a bit heavy handed with the Ginger)

Still to do
Craft 
Swagbucks 
Purge a few emails 
Enter a few comps 
All meals from cupboards/fridge/freezer 
Check: Lucky Bob, PMP, WinaDinner 

Have a good day everyone.

@DawnW, man oh man that chutney! I love cumin seeds and that comes through very distinctively. Thank you for the recommendation

@carrielovesfanta hope the grumps have passed x

@ziggy2407 I feel fairly confident that you can never go too hard with ginger

Evening all,  After such a good, productive week last week... this week not so much! 
Clicked and collected my shopping this morning (had to ring tecsco though as for some reason my clubcard points aren't showing on the bill and its not given me the discounted prices for a couple of things I'd bought which were clubcard priced - they've refunded the difference in price and are looking into the issue of the points not showing)
Home to put shopping away,  research for a few things we are looking to purchase (laptop for school work , some fence paint and chase up a refund) Then just after lunch a call from ds1, followed by a call from the school to ask me to collect him.  Managed to get him in for a covid test this evening thankfully so we're all now isolating til we get the results.  
So another meal plan fail but we didn't resort to junk... we had jacket spud with cheese and ham - was starving by the time we got back so it was very welcome.

23/9/20
Finished work haha still going.

1. Yolt everyday: 3/7 🙂
2. Make most of long weekend but not spend more than £100: n/a
3. Activity with son everyday: 3/7; 20min dog walk and bedtime story. 
4. October budget: not even looked at today.
5. 3x workouts, 3x 5km: haha not a chance managed 1/6 so far.
6. Plan weekend in advance: not even thought about. Wife has refused to make any suggestions. Son wants to go for another walk and play football can accommodate that.  
7. Switch off work number/ email apart from twice a day to check when off: n/a - dreading doing this tbf now it's getting closer.

Morning all

Sorry to hear that your MiL is struggling CLF

Hope you all feel better soon Ziggy. I agree with DNMS re the ginger!

DNMS, the chutney is lovely isn't it? Excellent use of enormous courgettes

1LL, I hope your son's test comes back as negative and he has just caught a back to school cold

I have to do a shift at the shop where I rent my sales unit this afternoon. Not looking forward to hours of wearing a mask, though I do see the reason. Before that I will:

Get the stuff I want to take to my sales unit this afternoon priced up and packed up ready in boxes

Load into the car

Do a couple of loads of washing, my brother brought round a huge bag yesterday

Pick what is ready in the garden

Wrap up some ebay sales ready to post this afternoon

More coffee first though!

Morning Wet, windy and miserable here!

Today:
* couple of hours of sanding & preparing the hallway - should be relatively simple to paint once the sanding/filling is done
* vacuum through once that's done
* do a big budgeting session to get my accounts straight
* some sewing
* all meals from stores
* I really need to nip to the allotment so am hoping this weather clears up a bit....
* bath & pamper session this evening
* hopefully my bff is coming over this evening for dinner and a catch up. Bought stuff for a Turkish dish I do which cost about £6 rather than going out for dinner and it costing £20 each   
* list a couple of things on fleabay
