    . I did my couch to 5k today it was a 20 minute jog without any stopping 
    Woohoo I remember how amazed I was the first time I ran for 20 minutes. I thought I'd never be able to do it. It's such a proud moment :)

    Moring folks

    I actually got through the momentous amount of things yesterday! Sink was fixed although the new pipework that the plumber has put in has pushed the trap on the main sink and now that's leaking! I've asked OH to see if it can be siliconed. 
    Quick one before work:
    :star: B/L/D from stores
    :star: Went to gym a 6am
    :star: See if cheque has cleared - if so, send money to person it belongs to
    :star: Working from home
    :star: Try to finish off sock
    :star: nip to the allotment
    :star: Net strawberries in the garden as they are being eaten before I can get to them!

    Have a good one all

  • Good evening to everyone.

    Lots of rain here. Such a change from yesterday. All the talk of running is putting me to shame. 
    Another NSD today. Think tomorrow will involve spending as a friend is coming for the day. Trying not to feel bad about the spending as it will be the first time in 13 days. Have done a bit more decluttering. I think you can see a difference.
    Boo to your sink @carrielovesfanta I hope it can be siliconed.

    Afternoon all!
    I've hung washing on the line this morning and now we're off to home bargains and lidl for bbq stuff! I plan on planting some veggies later on this evening.

    My weekends are starting to become more expensive again with the slight increase in social engagements. It will be the huge motivator for my NSDs for weekdays instead! I have also hidden my credit cards - out of my wallet, out of sight.

  • Morning all,

    Had a nice day with my friend yesterday. She brought lunch so it was another NSD. 
    No plans for today. Took a walk this morning and might do some more tidying later. I found an unopened Law and Order SUV box set yesterday so I am hoping that might distract me for a while. I think this being alone thing is going to take some getting used to. 
    @jadewest94 hope the running is going well.
