NST February 15 for February

apple_muncher · 28 February 2021 at 9:27PM

Today I am grateful for a good night's sleep, for my kettle bells, for taking dd out to meet a friend for a walk and for meeting a friend of mine in the evening for a good walk up and down the hilly roads, for needle felting a polar bear, for Feb whizzing by.

Huge thanks to mothernerd for running the month and keeping us on the straight and narrow. See you in March!

Evening all...

Well I skidded off the planet this month I'm afraid. Huge apologies for being consistently inconsistent!!! Lots going on with work - appointments, counselling, GP visits/calls etc etc. Long and short of it - I am returning to normality next week. I'm both apprehensive and a little relieved to be honest to be getting some structure back. All ok on parental front and have reduced my input somewhat in readiness. Thanks to you all for your kind words too - (I caught up on the thread!). Financially on track - no huge overspends - only unforeseen expense was having to replace my phone battery (£49.00) but I had already put money aside for 'White Goods' so it came out of that fund. Lost track of NSD's but have accumulated a fair few as not really done much. Well done to everyone who kept on track and kept their foot in the door here!!! I think I will just move in and take up residence on the naughty step!!! I am thinking it might be better if I just cheerlead in March - just to give myself a chance to acclimatise being back at work - then I won't feel so bad if I miss posting!!!

I am just popping back to report- I have saved myself from naughtiness and cleaned the bathroom!

Hi @facethemusic just did the same, and I mowed the lawn. I prefer gardening at the moment I might actually be obsessed with weird plants, but in the most unsystematic way. @mothernerd thanks for getting us through February a dark and brisk beginning and a brighter and more optimistic end note. Hope that will ring through March.
Walked and ran 100 miles in February, not sure how I managed that. SO am hoping to keep up the good work in March. Sleep tight everybody.

Things have been rough this month. Walking has kept me sane. Thankfully Mum is showing improvements and it is a little easier. I am in work tomorrow, and this shows how much she has improved.
I have kept up my French and Walking. Some stuff has left the house. I have a lot of bags to go through from the moving stuff in and out of the shed. But honestly the house is in a terrible state. Money wise things are good. And the house can and will be fixed. Overall.....not bad.
