NST October 2021: Fit for Purpose

DrCarrie

Morning!

Yesterday was NSD 3

Feeling like some of me is returning...up with the yoga mat rolled out. Whoop!

Gratitudes:
- A couple of days at 'school',  hs given me a bit of a break 
- Bit of a binge in Netpics - Midnight Mass - it's creepy and ominous
- I can see that my face looks different - lifted after the 13 month stress has lifted

Cheers for those feeling/doing well, hugs for those under the weather.
NSD#4
Did yoga before breakfast. Work went ok. Visited an acquaintance afterwards, managed to leave a lot earlier than previously, can't keep staying for 2hrs+ every time!
Sewing after tea. I wish folk would wash items before putting for repair, especially as we live in the countryside. Farming smells in our small bedroom is not conducive to a relaxing night's sleep!!
Colleague on a temporary job got the permanent position - yippee! Couldn't shine work without her
Grateful for colleague getting the job, extracting myself from the visit earlier, getting another sewing job done

Happy to report now up to 2 NSD's.

Today meeting my dd2 for lunch as it's my afternoon off. Make the most of it before she runs off back to Canada.

Hoping it stays dry and can have a nice walk after.

Pleased to reported decluttered my airing cupboard last night, so much stuff, why have I kept it. Most was only fit for bin. Such a nice feeling a tidy cupboard and I can find things.

Back is playing up a bit today and my tummy doesn't feel right. So will choose something plain for lunch.

Grateful for

only working 30 hours a week.

House getting tidy!!!

Lunch out

Unfortunately no NSD today, but I did manage a lovely walk along the promenade and bought sis an evening bag for Xmas, much cheaper than I budgeted for, so a good day.
Today I was grateful for seeing a good friend, for a nice day and for a simple tea ( quick and yummy) Yesterday’s leftover bubble and squeak with sausages and baked beans. It took minutes to prepare and what I really fancied.
When I got the throws out they smelt musty so I’m gradually washing them to cut down on the need for as much heating. It has gone quite chilly tonight but funnily I’m quite enjoying the change in the weather.

NSD # 6 today. Tomorrow and Saturday will be spend days as have planned a fish & chip dinner from a new takeaway that has had lots of really good reviews tomorrow night and going shopping with Mum on Saturday.

Been a busy day today particularly regarding meetings but still achieved quite a bit. Got up early to tidy the spare bedroom as B Gas engineer was due to repair and service the boiler and thought he may need to check the rads in all the rooms. He didn’t, just asked me to make sure they were hot and had no cold spots at the top. Well at least everywhere is reasonably tidy now and I can just sort the various piles and boxes one at a time. Think I will plan to clear at least one every day.

Today I am grateful for boiler being serviced and having heating. Need to leave it on for a couple of days to make sure the pressure doesn’t drop again but I have only set it at 17.5 degrees so it shouldn’t come on too much. Also grateful for supportive managers at work and nice phone calls with Mum and step son.

NSD 5. 

Very busy day at work with unmovable deadlines. And it was also my last day before a week’s annual leave. Hooray 😁 

Grateful for getting an important piece of work done in job, to be TV commander this evening, and for central heating (not the cost of it though!)

Happy holidays @Idee2111! I have one day left to go before mine start.
In service today, so lots of sorting & tidying going on amongst the support staff. We've got training tomorrow. Phoned mum when I got home, then my brother after doing the dishes & the ironing (it's his birthday today). A nice soak in the bath. Received a phonecall from a new customer who lives on the island I grew up on, was nice to reminisce.
Grateful for lots of laughs with my favourite colleagues, a lovely walk at lunchtime, free perfume samples in the post

Morning turtles

Happy hols ldee and Thrifty  I had a day off yesterday to visit DD2 at her new uni place.  Went to the big Swedish place to buy her a desk chair and a few other bits and did a big food shop, she suggested Sainz but i spotted A**a which was much better for my budget!  I had allocated a budget for her uni shop and came in well under so very happy with that
ldee - being in work is good for my health as i can't access endless snacks and i only eat what i can carry (10 min walk from the car park! )
Happy Friday everyone

Hi turtles.

Had a lovely lunch out yesterday which I ended up treating my dd2 to. Really enjoyed it and it's such a lovely place sea views, nice to have a treat now and again.

Whilst it was a spendy day bought some foundation off Great River company. Usually use gift vouchers from surveys but they all seem a bit slow dishing out surveys lately.

Having an Ibs flare up this week, sitting here with my ginger tea, wasn't going to come in to work today but managing, keeping busy taking my mind off it.

Haven't bought any lunch in ,well a yogurt so may need a spend later. I need to get some potatoes/ bread for gkids tomorrow anyway.

Grateful,

for weekend nearly here.

My hair looking better today after intensive conditioner last night.

Tummy ache getting better.

Finally weekend, did a half day of cash cover work, so me and my motor might eat next week as well. 
Have a lovely weekend, is meant to be warm here in the south east. 
Might call some friends, except voice has packed in! A bit boring really. 
Grateful for an almost full work week, eventually finance will shape up again. 
Grateful for ds1 being himself - bought a chrome cast and a pizza this week. Everything a young man want :-)
And grateful that ds2 called me while he was on his way out w friends last night. I didn't tell him I was in bed, watching tv, drinking a beer and eating a late dinner :-) OOps. Grateful for the things one can get away with when living alone.
