Today's DFW activities I had planned:

- Walk to and from work - free exercise! Done
- Take in prepped meal of chilli for lunch and all my tea making bits. Done
- My notebook I use for work is almost full already - I ordered a pack of 10 so I'm going to fish another out of my stationary drawer in the morning. Forgot - doh! I'm going to pack it tonight instead.
- Do a sort out of clothes.  Not done
- Vacuum.  Done

I didn't sort out my clothes - I stayed late at work and didn't feel up to it. Instead I helped my niece by proof-reading her essay (via Skype of course!) as my sister was done in from home schooling and looking after the kids.

Tomorrow's plans:

- Walk to and from work 
- Packed lunch
- Go to L*dl instead of usual T*sco after work to pick up an ingredient needed for spag-bol on Friday
- Call to cancel the renewal of my phone insurance. Checked the T&C's out and they won't cover me because I bought the phone directly from the phone-maker who are registered overseas. Which I find ridiculous as it's only ever been used in the UK...

Hi February Frugalistas,

Was awake at 5.00am so have gotten up make a start.

Debt-Free-Nillionaire Continuity Plan Year Six:

Checked online banking.

Alarm clock off at the wall during day time.

Turn off Wifi box when not using it.

Batch cooked curry and lasagna. I often find I have no energy to cook at dinner time so cooking in advance helps a lot.

Go for a free walk along the coast with DW.

Started car engine last night and took car for a drive; my battery was complaining about the cold.

Read a book I already own.

Morning everyone
@allydowd your list makes me tired just reading it. 5am?  I don't do mornings! Good idea about starting the car. I hadn't thought about that, and I haven't used the car since last Friday.

Haven't planned any meals for today, so I need to do that. There is enough food in the house, I just need to work out what we're going to have. My boss has called a Teams meeting from 11:45-13:30 which is normally when I'd have my dinner, so will probably just prepare a plate of salad in advance, so I can just pick at it during the meeting. Not ideal but, to be fair to her, it's rare for a meeting to be booked at this time, but she has already had to move it twice due to other things taking priority.  

Other than that it's just the normal small things from me
Check Banking and update spreadsheet - Done
Check emails - Done
Download Nectar Card offers - Done.
Wellbeing walk 
Pick up a free newspaper on my walk
Meals from stores
No alcohol day
NSD
Declutter 
Update "If anything happens" list

Hi @Karb . I have a sleep disorder, I'm not being virtuous!

Morning folks,

Bit of a weird one here today. Feeling a bit tired and groggy with my ear(?) so taking it easy mostly. OH is not feeling great so he's literally just got up.

I whipped a duster round the dining room and the bathrooms quickly and I think I'm mostly going to knit socks and veg out with OH today. Might get out for a walk, although I ended up doing about 7 miles yesterday afternoon! It's really cold out, which is going to be exacerbated by the fact it's now windy. 

Attempting to bake soda bread right now. I used a recipe on the BBC food site but it was really sticky. I will add more flour next time. Just waiting for it to cook so I can have my lunch.

Have a good one all

Afternoon all

Can't believe it is Thursday again already! Weeks go by quickly when you aren't going anywhere / seeing anyone, yet seem to drag at the same time, wierdly. Today I have / will:

Dog walk done

Filled up bird feeder (done)

Hoovered round upstairs and cleaned bathroom (done)

Found a couple of old photos that DD had asked about, took photos of them with my phone and sent them to her via Messenger. Looked for and found other photos that I knew were in various places around the house, and managed to fit them in the old deed chest while I had it open, so they are all together now. A good bit of decluttering there, even if I didn't throw anything away on this occasion.

Listed a couple more things on ebay (done)

Got a mini greenhouse thing out of the garage and cleaned it. It will fit on the end of the dining table next to the decorative terrarium that I am using as a propagator, for more seeds / seedlings. It won't look so pretty, but never mind!

Got the growlight thing out of the back of the loft. No immediate plans to use it, but it is easily at hand if I want to.

Need to wrap more parcels

Dinner will be chicken pesto pasta - ordinary pesto pasta with the meat from a couple of chicken thighs which aren't big enough on their own to do anything useful with. Found them when I was sorting the freezer out the other day. Will roast them, break up the meat and add to the pasta, pesto and parmesan.  Using up HM pesto from freezer, too

No spending. Off to read more of my book before it is time to make dinner
