Hi just managed to add business insurance  for my census job, to my car insurance and lower monthly payments, I also lowered mileage - I will have to review that in September or so to make sure I'm not going over. But mostly - all good.

Happy International Singles Day
Our mini challenge this week will focus on Kindness (RAK Day 17th), Peace and Patience
Patience
A moment of patience in a moment of anger saves a thousand moments of regret
Patience is not simply the ability to wait, it's how we behave whilst we're waiting
Patience is not passive, on the contrary it is concentrated strength     Bruce Lee 
Patience is waiting. Not passively waiting, that is laziness. But to keep going when the going is hard and slow, that is patience. The two most powerful warriors are patience and time      Leo Tolstoy

I had my patience tested. I'm negative.
Lord give me patience..... Because if you give me strength, I'm going to need bail money to go with it
Patience: what you have when there are too many witnesses

A perfect metaphor for parenting is trying to stand up in a hammock whilst not spilling your wine.

Hi turtles,  sorry for lack of posting.

Quick update NSD are on 8/15 and £500 put into my savings accounts.

Treated myself to some body oil from Bshop my valentines pressie to myself today.

Friday night, gs stayed and his choice of movie. Quite enjoyed The Simpson movie to be honest.

Had a lovely afternoon tea bought by dd1 on Saturday, so much food she took rest for her bf later to watch the rugby with.

Was feeling a bit flat yesterday, wet walk well absolutely soaked to the skin, wrong coat put on. Co worker got engaged, then a single friend reminded me, that we are too good for what's left out there hehe.

Feel better today, a posh dress on for work as the weather is warmer.

Grateful for

Not being in debt anymore.

Outlander and football keeping me sane.

Cuddles with gs.

NSD No 10

Got a few things done today but not nearly anything like what I wanted to accomplish. Think I'm wilting a bit. Maybe tomorrow.

Lots of nice food in the freezer though so I've done a meal plan for this week. We should be eating well.

Spent the whole day giggling at a photograph the Boy's best friend defrosting his fridge. Don't ask!!!!!

Good afternoon day 12 NSD. Really feel like having a good clear out alas our bin collection has been missed and wont be collected for a fortnight, and then only half of what they would normally take argh, the nearest tip is 10 miles away, and I don't drive. I don't think they would be impressed with me taking bin bags on the bus lol.
Nice weather here, lovely and almost spring like we all went for a long walk. Sausage casserole for dinner, should really look at cardboard envelope packaging for sales.
Glad for seeing my first crocus, nice coffee and happy children.

Just adding to the definition of patience - the respect for other peoples pace as well as ones own! Love your very reflective posts.

So I tore my bedroom apart yesterday and mostly sorted it out - but I am left with 4 piles; books, cd's with my old data(!) pictures and stuff, music cd's, kids personal letters and drawings and exhibition ephemera! Well I guess that is 5 (and old tech I have 2 computers I need to unload. And thats not counting my hard drives. 
So much dust. I get itchy everywhere! SO what do I do, do I just keep ploughing through it this week on little bit at a time? Or d I just bulk dump it?
Not good at this decluttering business.

Still on NSD 7/15 after picking up a couple of dinner items at the shop. 

I had a really good walk this morning before starting work. 40 minutes of exercise and 40 minutes listening to my audiobook. More of that please.

Cancelled our Disn3y subscription today. They’re putting annual prices up from £60 to £80 on 23 Feb. I’ll take another annual subscription on 21 Feb to get a year at the lower price. 

Grateful for a dry mild day, two walks, and a meeting-free day at work.

Good afternoon, well I've spent the first day of half term gainfully employed in colouring in my adult colouring book and done little else. The roofer / builder man popped round to measure up under our bay window for extra drainage and while he was here I grabbed my neighbour who was complaining about a leaking roof only this morning, so he's been up to look at it for her, so she's pleased. (not pleased that it needs work and she needs a new flat garage roof, but pleased he's been as she was getting very frustrated with Mr Neighbour for putting off doing anything about it) 
I've just made a pumpkin fritter batter with some roasted squash that had very little taste, it was a hybrid that originated on a friend's allotment, it was supposed to be a gem squash but I think it had cross pollinated with a pumpkin. I've got it to where it tastes very nicely of sugar and cinnamon so I'll see what Mr Porridge says. hopefully it won't be wasted. 
I've lost track of no spending days but I think the last spend was last week Wednesday so 5 / 15 NSD's so far.
Today I'm grateful for the time to do very little, goods friends as neighbours and being able to cook.

Today I am grateful for a lie in, for a tip trip to help out my neighbour, for my marmite jigsaw, for the first of 4 recorded webinar thingies about planning for retirement, for getting noses and eyes on some penguins whilst Miss Marple solved the mystery.
