NST May MISCHIEF AND MAYHEM

apple_muncher

Today I am grateful for being up in time to stop the heating kicking in for a measly 0.2 degrees, for dc enjoying bouldering and for finding some climbing shoes in d3cathl0n afterwards, for a neighbour mowing the front (back is still going strong for no mow May), for getting 3% of a task done ahead of schedule (though it may be less as I'm locked out of where I need to input the data...), for free library books, for space to breathe.

Felt very nauseous first thing, & again after dinner, hope I'm not getting the bug that's doing the rounds at school! Had a good day at work, more giggles with pupil I'm helping with speech. Was on playground duty twice, so logged lots of steps on my new apps 😃 a customer stopped to collect her altered dress, then I had a nap. Felt so much better afterwards. Received a phonecall from a new customer I'd been recommended to & 2 messages from others requesting my sewing skills. Shortened 3 pairs of jeans after tea.

Grateful for another 2 eboy sales, a good nap & more customers

Hi all, after a lovely  burst the bank day yesterday, I shall be straight back on budget. So grateful for a day visiting ds2 in uni town with ds1, we did the whole walk of the town which includes a cathedral on a hill and a university on a quay, so tired and proud. It was his first visit since medical problems started last summer and last chance before ds2 comes home next weekend. Time to fill the freezer w chicken again! 
Proud of ds2 looking to complete first year, of ds1 to complete his first 10 months of rehab and still hanging in there (now with job) and for me to be showing some of my creative work, curtesy of lovely friends inother country. 
Hugs to those who need it and @mothernerd hope your pip prep goes well. 
And happy bank holidays to everybody else, in a couple of days.

A simple 'Good morning', 'Have a great day' or I love you' goes a long way so I'm sending you all three

NSD Yesterday. That's no 15 and all I'll manage this month as we're out shortly to buy the baby present, cards, etc. 

Defrosted both freezers which are still quite full (actually very full) so I've made a meal plan up to next Saturday and if all goes according to plan I should only have to buy salad leaves, a cucumber and a couple of potatoes for baking. Had loads of carrots in the fridge so we're having HM lentil soup tonight.

I've done not too badly on the money front this month. Started off really well with the decluttering and  house stuff but that kind of fell away mid month. Failed miserably with weight loss. Must try harder next month.

Thanks for running the challenge, Mothernerd

Take care, everyone. See you in June. xxx

I have no idea how many of anything I did this month because I used cash , and barely touched my card  

 There is hardly anything on the credit card, it has all been paid off  but there seems to be an awful lot of money left over. 

I suppose eating a lot of salad is cheap though.

See you all in June.

 Thank you for everything @mothernerd

ditty - that's such heartwarming news about ds2

beanie - well done on the win and the loss!

thrifty - you are always busy! How many steps did you get done?

I'm another one who lost their way in the middle of the month, in many ways. But I am still here and ready to start counting again in June. Thank you for taking the reins for a couple of months mothernerd, and guiding us along the path of frugality with fun.

hi all

Been spendy today, had a £6 clubcard voucher that runs out so bought a few stock items, also some YS ciabatta rolls.  
Had a good day wfh.  After work DD1 called round and we visited our friend who is dog sitting.   Had a walk round their village.  Collected a small bookcase for free on Fb, needs a bit of upcycling but is a nice solid piece.  Also got a free bottle of unopened salad dressing from Fb!

Gratitudes - free goodies; 15 mins with my book; my friend admiring my £3 Laura A skirt from the CS

See you all in June
