Ooh, DrCarrie - you can't just drop that bombshell and wander off! Details, please!

aww, well. Last Teusday the comapny I work for as an accoicate, said that they need more feet on the ground. I knew I wasn't up to taking it on now: I am wobbly and start Uni (my 9th year) for a course in 2 weeks, with 2 teaching block before Christmas. But today I sent an email asking for an extra day in the New Year if they still needed people...they tore my arm off and wondered if I would like to worked for them as an employee, rather than associate. 
I am thinking about it, and going to CBT mysellf a bit. It would mean a more vareid role plus point, but less flexibilty. Lets see when they offer me a package or 2.

Tuesday- NSD 4/15.
Seems like lots of congratulations due around here- job offers, medical appointments made, exercise done and decluttering as well as money saving all round- so whoever wants one have a big cheer 👍🎉
The last few days have been full of terrible weather, lots of work, some decluttering and packing so no time for spending any money 🤣
House is still upside down but there is less stuff and more full boxes so it's all heading in the right direction.

hi all
Great news on bloods mothernerd
I've finally achieved NSD 1/15
Wasn't very motivated at work but plodded through the day.  Went for a walk before tea and have caught up on some PT work this evening.
Now off to read in bed.
gratitudes - nice phone call with DD2 who's at uni; video training motivating me to progress my qualification; bids on 2 items listed on Bay of E

Hi I really can't keep up here - Just want to say that I am grateful for updating my run club membership, my car rescue, have pushed my luck for a couple of weeks, but now I just hope my luck doesen't run out tomorrow. Then it will be me walking to the nearest bus stop as cover only starts tomorrow night. But mainly today I was grateful for half a day off, I celebrated by doing some reading, making granola and cooking a nice dinner. Will have to catch up on everything else tomorrow.

NSD No 3 yesterday.

Very quiet so not much to report. I’m sure just being somewhere different even if not doing a lot is doing us the world of good.

Beautiful sunny day but rather windy. Plan is to go for a walk if I can get Himself out of bed.

Quick update from me.

Today spendy day, sainsbob delivery later used a £7.50 voucher they gave me. Freezer and cupboards looking pretty decent. Had to get a birthday card, need to get more organised with birthdays.

Sun is out woo hoo. Walk today, never got to do one yesterday. Physio cancelled for Friday, has to self isolate, luckily my back pain is now at manageable level and this means financially better off now this week. She's okay but been contacted.

Put my new to me mirror up last night, my dining room looks much posher now. De cluttered some junk in kitchen.

Grateful for

Free chocolate with co op new app, orange and dark chocolate one was lush.

Booked nat trust garden for my afternoon  off wander tomorrow.

Sunshine, just wish I had done some washing before work this morning. It didn't look great weather first thing in my defence.

Hey turtles!

No NSD today as needed dishwasher tabs and bleach so I am still on 2. Needed a few other bits but all in budget. This will have to be the last week of shopping in dribs and drabs. Very tiresome. However managed to resist a €5 jar of peanut butter which was staring at me. 

20 min run this morning. Was hard work.

Remembered to meditate. Don’t think it helped much as according to bf I’ve been in a foul mood all day. Just keep swimming!! 

Had the batch cooked dahl again for lunch. It tasted better today. Dinner will be omelette.

My best friend had her baby, a little boy who arrived early. He was born at 2am this morning and they were home by 10am! Apparently there was no bed for her. 

Grateful for safe arrival of said baby (2020 what a year to be born hey) and for video of his big sister holding her new baby brother and saying with a dismayed look on her face “he’s squeaking” as if to say is this faulty? I want a refund!

Shrewbie - The story about the little girl made me laugh out loud. Just the sort of thing a child would say. I’m still giggling when I think about it.
