Morning Turtles,
Been so tired...resting for my first days of annual leave. Just resting. Did get into town yesterday to get some new undies, haven't bought any for 2 years. Been sorting out my wardrobe for my first round of 333 project. I am going to write a list for charity shop shopping / buy more.

NSD 1 here finally. Had a bad day yesterday, made a mistake at work and beat myself up about it a bit too much. I have decided that I need to stop taking myself so seriously!Can barely walk this morning (in a good way) after exercise class at lunch yest with new work/gym friends.
Grateful for a lovely colleague sending me restaurant recommendations, for my boss being reasonable, for fresh water straight out of a tap and somewhere warm to sleep.Have a wonderful day turtles xxxStudent loan £5655

Morning Turtles, just popping in to say I finally achieved NSD1 yesterday! Have already had to pop out today for yet more emergency tomato ketchup. I am waiting for Mr L to restock on their 45p a bottle stuff, but the shelves are bare in both of our stores. Went for an extremely bracing walk along the seafront yesterday, was very grateful for my new coat. Was meant to be doing some painting this morning between jobs but have made some minestrone in the slow cooker instead as it seemed like too much effort to get changed and then changed back again (I am a very messy decorator). Oh well, lunch then back into the fray!10

Today is NSD 4 in F0xh0le T0wers. If I can get to Thursday without spending, then I am back in budget.All food today is from stores, and a menu plan has been written for the rest of the week - but I have to ask what is going on with custard powder?? I can get the Birdy Brand, but the supermarket own brands (and I have been to 3 supermarkets) are nowhere to be seen. Is it now a seasonal food? Have we all decided to make pasteis de nata at the same time?? I scored ys ready made pastry yesterday so it has gone to live in the freezer. Car full of petrol on Monday.Cold here with blue skies so the laundry is on the line drying in the dangerous radiation.Nearly finished the Thursday Murder Club, it can go into the bag of books sorted for the c/s tonight.Gratitudes- the NHS and all who sail in her, DH got an injection in his shoulder this morning, he was very brave

Afternoon
sorry for not updating, I am still on 1 NSDs, all the other days have been low spend, but I need to get organised again.
How are you organising your P333 @DrCarrie? I tend to not include shoes or handbags. It’s so liberating though having limited amount of clothes to choose from. Mornings are so much easier!
We are back in the office 2 days per week now, so I need to get organised with lunches. I thought I was organised, but the sandwich filling in the fridge was 3 days out of date so I need to go any buy something to put in the bread! Taking lunch with me will save me a fortune as I work in tourist central, so everything is much more expensive than it should be (I saw a can of Coke priced at £4.50 a while ago).Have a great afternoon everyone.

Good afternoon ⛅
Apologies to all for my absence yet again. Having a mini-mental health blip 🤪 at the moment and some work-related issues. As soon as I have mopped them up I'll be back posting more regularly.
Made it t the gym which gave me a boost and am relaxing with a mid-afternoon cheeky glass of vino.
Today I am grateful for:
1) Time out to collect my thoughts and adjust bearings
2) Wine!!!
3) A supportive friend
Today was a spend day. Have lost track of days 🤣 but know I am in credit which is the main thing!!!
Have a lovely afternoon x⭐ DEBT FREE : 18/02/2025 ⭐

Apologies from me disappeared again. My back has been causing me trouble since Friday. Friday Saturday couldn't even walk with pain. Small walk Sunday and a flat walk yesterday has made it better today. Managed to get a deep tissue massage today, not that relaxing when its painful but still enjoyed 1hr of me time.
Looking after kids at weekend wasn't great with back pain but stayed in. Too scared to drive anywhere in case it got worse. 2 NSD's added to the total. Will check later what that is.
Not used to being at home all day, feeling guilty yesterday phoned temp agency to enquire about a job on there just temporary atm to cover sickness but looks like they want someone permanent. Seeing I have used accounting package they wanted I start work tomorrow, get free school dinner as well - posh school and dinners are nice. Been to a function there before. Got to be better than the last job lol.
Cooker hood - got electrician out yesterday power to it but not working. Phoned company and sending a man out, god knows when but it is a fault with installation I would need to pay £65 eek. Almost tempted to buy a new one for that price, just over a year old but got 2 years guarantee on it. Probably wasn't fitted when I bought it.
Spendy day yesterday and today, some shopping, easter pressies,back massage, coffee,cake sandwich. oops
Grateful for
Employment - I get more done when I have less free time. New girl tomorrow again.
Chat with my dd2 in Whistler, Canada today. Haven't spoken to her for a while and now can sort out bday pressie for her.
