Champagne Lifestyle on a Lemonade Budget - 2021

Wednesday2000

Oops, wrong thread, lol.

My champagne moments have just been decluttering and organising my house. It focuses your mind when you think you are moving house.

My house looks a lot better already. I have ordered some vinyl stickers to spruce up a couple of tatty book shelves. If they turn out badly I need to hire a man with a van anyway so they can go.

It's nice and sunny although I felt too hot last night in bed. I think it's time to get the fan out today.

Hello everyone - so lovely to read about your bargains, and your champagne moments that money can't buy
I've had a week off work and I have loved it - been pottering aroun the house and garden and catching up with friends and family.  My bedroom is now 95% there - just some artwork and a mirror to put up, but my wardrobe has been assembled (by me and a friend's very kind husband) and I am thrilled with it. It's a Songesand one from Ikea, and although it cost £179 it's much more cost effective than the Pax one I'd set my heart on but didn't have the space for! As promised, I've attached some photos - before and after. They seem to have got a bit muddled up (!) but hopefully you can tell the difference

Lovely bedroom Mrs S.  Great job. 

Hello everyone.  All good here.  Have been busy in the garden, it's looking nice. A bit more decluttering, still got a fair way to go.  Business is steady.  Still  doing my miracle mornings.  The exercise bit was very hard at first but it's gradually getting a bit easier.  

So, nothing drastic or particularly exciting.  Just steady as she goes.  😁

I had my AZ vaccination Friday and had a high fever Friday night, a low fever on Saturday, high fever again Saturday night, low fever through Sunday, and a painful upper arm all through this. The bright side: I spent the daytimes lying about in my garden, with the smell of a magnificently blooming rose around me. I seem to have lost some weight as well, as I ate hardly anything, and sweated profusely during the nights (TMI - sorry )

The library was closed for a long time, and I couldn't always be bothered to browse their cumbersome online catalogue to reserve books, so I dove into the world of Harry Potter online fanfiction some are really fun to read and offer a great mental escape for anytime between 15 minutes and a week.

Other than that, the fact that a couple of nights ago I realised 'Grimmauld Place' comes from 'Grim Old Place' and that gives me an inordinate amount of joy every time I think about the realisation.

My Champagne moment yesterday was going to my local Caribbean/Nigerian restaurant for a 2 course meal with my daughter. I had bought a Groupon for only £17.25 in late March and as I will be receiving £6.03 cashback on this Groupon, it was a very MSE meal. 

It was so good to be seated in a restaurant, enjoying the ambience, the atmosphere, the music, being waited on and having a laugh with my daughter. The food was delicious and the cocktails really hit the spot. We will be returning to this restaurant again soon.

My Champagne moment today was going to my Creative Writing session and being recording reciting 2 of my monologues.
