Happy birthday @ditty1234! And congrats on the job offers @Calling14 and @CEW, hopefully I can join in with those celebrations soon!
No NSD yesterday, I had a pre-planned massage. Seems extravagant but helps keep my back in a good place and cheaper than all the physio I've paid out for over the years. Also bought some new tracksuit bottoms but the plan is to get OH to give me those as a gift in December once I've checked they fit nicely so I should get that money back. And also needed petrol.
Today has been a NSD. Work hasn't picked up so the temptation of boredom just keeps nagging at me.
I've written my next blog post which was my little challenge for the month. Read some of my book and just generally pondered my future!8 -
Wishing ditty a Happy Birthday and congratulations to Calling and CEW re jobs.
Was a spend day. Did a 2 week food shop, lunch with colleagues who I used to work with, diary and calendar for 2022 (both together cost a grand total of £2), lit 3 candles in St Patrick's chapel in a Cathedral for my Mum, 2 Advent calenders, donation to a charity, tv mag and bus pass/oyster top up.
Grateful for:
Lunch with colleagues who I used to work with.
Achieving a lot of things, including getting a couple of food/drink items for celebration next month.
Did not seem that long travelling on the underground.
