More soil and stones separating. Have done all the buckets but left the heap on the plastic. Wanted to paint as it was dry but mum said not to, so had a shower, found something to wear (having consigned another muddy dress to the washing pile) and spent late afternoon sewing whilst watching tv. I am fed up of shopping - keeping finding things I like then it is out of stock online or in my size. Do love all the parcels coming, especially the books. Discovered a dress I had overlooked in the clothes bag. More candles and the Morrocan lamp and the led storm lantern (for power cuts, we had one yesterday and united utilities keep phoning about ongoing work and what to do about problems with pressure, excess bubbles or discoloured water).
Grandpuppy is not impressed that he and my son are sleeping in the spare bedroom (d-i-l has tested positive and they are trying to stop him getting it). DS3 finally got to sleep in the wee small hours as grandpuppy did everything he could to stop him getting into the bed and then refused to let him sleep. He's not fazed by fireworks, happily snoozing through them.
I am grateful for getting work done (I'm fine until I try to stand up again and then all the bits start hurting), for one part of the yard looking neat and tidy, for books, books, parcels of books (ordered from Oxfam online but the books are coming from different Oxfam shops). Have received several cans of paint/ woodstain, brushes, brush cleaner etc so lots to keep me busy as long as it doesn't rain.

Good evening...
Had a spend day yesterday, and today was NSD number 3!
Not feeling the magic this week, but have gotten myself out for some walks. Binge eating hit an all time high yesterday when I comfort ate an entire loaf of bread!!! I mean !!!!!!? There was a voice in me saying 'you're not hungry... why are you eating it' and I just ignored it and ate because it made me happy and tasted so good! Course - disgusted with myself after lol. It's like I am self sabotaging all my hard work of the last 3 months. The human mind is bonkers! Or maybe that's just mine!!!
Anyway - so glad it's Friday tomorrow!!! I want to hibernate!

Thursday- NSD 4/18.
I'm already fed up of it being dark when I finish work- and it's only November 🙈.
Managed 10000 steps, but not much else.

Weekends off after many years of having them midweek, so looking forward to spending more time with the family & getting my house & finances in order 😁Use it up, wear it out

Morning all, had a spendy day yesterday, had a regular dental check up and bought a card for BiL. Walked to and from dentist and someone had left bags of cooking apples for people to take so i had a bag. It was lovely walking in the autumn sunshine and the roads were quiet too; very relaxing. Did pilates class via Fb in the eve. I'm off work this morning to see another dentist as need a repair to one of my tooth fillers - more spending!
Hope everyone has a good Friday
