NST Jolly Joyful July

Oh! And I had a win on the Premium Bonds. I moved my emergency fund to PBs a couple of months ago, not really expecting to win anything but thinking it was better tucked away in an account that takes a couple of days to access. I won £25 in the latest draw

Congratulations on your win @GeorgianaCavendish. Hugs @DrCarrie. Get well soon @greent.

Went for another long walk after breakfast, dropped a card off en route. Got identification of a huge moth I spotted halfway up the 'mountain' I climbed last week. It's a Northern Egger, only found locally on two of the outer islands, not on out mainland. Quite drizzly today, so a good excuse to do some sewing. Also finished another book too!
Grateful for messages to & from friends, moth identification, good books

evening

I've had a busy weekend. Worked yesterday morning at a small event for my PT job, was really good.  Then pottered at home and then drove 1.5 hours to an old uni friend's house where we had a lovely meal and watched the footie - fab eve!  Stayed over and had relaxed morning including visiting a car boot, where i bought some coasters.  Then we went to an outlet where i bought a CD, top and a raincoat (don't have one), plus a couple of reduced plants.  Friend is coming over in a few weeks to help me with the garden.  So a spendy day but a good one.  Did some chores this eve and having an early night.

gratitudes - good friends, good food, great football result

Love Deni x

Tesco delivery yesterday so no NSD.

I made a huge goulash thinking I'll freeze some for another day. Not a chance. They wolfed the lot. 

Quite a lot accomplished. I'm just waiting for a workman to come and fix a minor problem and then I'll get on with today's chores including defrosting the freezers.

Things That Bring Us JOY and HAPPINESS
LOVE When we love ourselves, we make room to love those around us, it makes us feel in sync
CARE Everything on the planet needs caring for, the BIG things and the LITTLE things
SHARE Our knowledge and skills as this can bring joy and happiness to OTHERS
FRIENDSHIP Good friends become our family. We can CHOOSE friends who make us feel good about ourselves
THE LITTLE THINGS It's the small things in life that bring us joy. We don't need STUFF to make us happy
CONNECTION Spending time with others helps break down fear of the UNKNOWN and helps us understand we are all the same
BEAUTY Find the beauty in everything. Even the prickly cactus is beautiful in it's own UNIQUE way. Just like US

I see people my age mountain climbing, I feel good getting my leg through my underwear without losing my balance.

If you're always trying to be normal, you'll never know how amazing you can be

Happy Monday folks. Not really feeling that bubbly today.

Weekend reports

Friday big lidlee shop and gkids overnight.

Saturday took 2 extremely tired kids to the local zoo, gave in to ice creams and small buy each from the shop. I was just worn out by then. GS had been on a 2 night school trip and can't have slept much if at all. Got rid of them before the football absolutely well happy with that result.

Sunday - NSD tidied my back garden, until the rain and then cleaned the kitchen it needed it for few hours.

Today - lost a NSD popped into big chain newsagents closing down in our town and 75% off books so bought a nice healthy eating cookery book.  Could be tempted by some more in there got until next weekend.

Grateful for

Being busy in work, my mind needs it atm

Lovely chat with little old lady in work, think she was just lonely and wanted someone to talk to. Not sure my boss would agree but need to give some time to people.

Looking forward to football and seeing my dd 4 more sleeps ;-)

Today I am grateful for working with some wonderful caring people, for a lovely morning of teaching, for a satisfying afternoon of clearing out and re-allocating, for 95% chocolate, for my sweet peas.

NSD 3. Grateful for a dry day, finishing a book, 'buying' marshmallows with coupons so they cost nothing,  having marshmallows to choose not to eat yet

Tomorrow being the last day for doing annoying volunteering side project.

Lots of housework done today (OH helped), washing dried outside on the line, and an afternoon of main course type baking, which means not much cooking for the rest of the week. Still on 1 NSD, as I had to renew OH's driving licence today, and as the NSD was lost anyway, stocked up on fruit juices and squash as my supplies were depleted and I forgot to add them to yesterday's shopping list. Grateful for a break in the rain to dry the laundry, and the home grown spinach and strawberries that I picked today
