@Naomim almost close enough to touch 😬
@Deni_debt-free_dreamer I hate that back to school feeling after being off ☹️ …and half a brownie? Half? Cruel! Like leaving you the smell of some coffee 🤣

@WinterWarrior and @Sun_Addict I do love a bit of Mr Barlow. Although some people slept out overnight and I wouldn't go that far. Love my home comforts too much!1

Good morning and happy Monday ☕️🍫🧁
Monday again (sobs quietly)…well at least it’s pay week…just to get to Thursday.
So, as usual, I do need to run down my September good, bad and the ugly and sadly it’s seeming rather samey! 🙄 WW, you need to get a grip!
The good - the credit card is still ending at zero, I paid for lots of things like the vets, a handbag, some much needed clothing bits for us both and some essential garden safety stuff for MrWW…and the much celebrated purple planner! I will hit my NSD 15 day target, I will be on 13 today.
The bad - I bought more stuff than I should (see above).
The ugly - I broke into a pot and did an unnecessary savings shuffle, meaning this month will have less wiggle room as I pay it back 😖
So this month I need to pay back the pot, and try to increase the savings…although it won’t be by much. I need to stick to my weekly spend challenge and stop being tempted by the big stuff. I hope to keep up to my planner, stop over eating and clean/tidy at least two things every weekend. This weekend the hall got its deep clean and the new cat post looks much tidier, then I cleaned the bathroom cabinet (a quite big, built in one) and found 2 hardly used old Christmas sets of kneipp and Molton brown bath oils! I had been thinking about buying some so that was a big win. I don’t often have baths (just showers, not that I don’t wash 🤣) so when I do, I like them to be lovely and smelly 😁
Anyway, enough waffling, I need to get up!
I hope you have a marvellous Monday, may your work be light and easy and your free time be full of good things ☕️🍫🍰📚Not all who wander are lost - J.R.R.Tolkien

@Deni_debt-free_dreamer that sounds like a really good reason not to go into the office, can you join by zoom? I love zoom meetings, so much better than being in the same room for us introverts 😁

rainy day jobs, including making fancy pants gift labels

Just as an afternoon interlude, I popped my food into MFP. I had to estimate my tiger bread toast, but it seems I have just 282 calories left for the rest of the day 😭
I may add my food into my purple planner too, keep myself on track…or just make myself squirm!Not all who wander are lost - J.R.R.Tolkien
