Happy anniversary @Thrifty_Taylor.

OH is working away part of this week. And it’s a busy week for me too in both work and personal life. But some of the personal stuff I’m looking forward to - an hour to ‘stay and play’ with DS at his school-to-be, a lunchtime walk with gf, and doing some fun work for a friend’s charity. 

As OH is currently away I get to live my frugal dream life 😂 Yesterday I had leftovers from the previous night’s dinner, and today I’ll have the rest of it for lunch. I went to eM&eS to get some school things for DS and popped down to the food hall while I was there. Got some YS fruit and yoghurt which I’ll have for breakfast this morning and YS roasted mushrooms and peppers tonight with pasta. Mr Spendy Pants is back tomorrow night so I’ve got another day of this budget-bliss to enjoy. 

Finding I’m too tired in the evenings just now to check in so I’ll try to do it in the mornings. 

Grateful for good YS finds, for DS getting a place at our preferred school, and for sunny chats over the fence with our friendly neighbours.

Have a good day, turtles xx

Happy Anniversary @Thrifty_Taylor from another '24 Club' member.

Happy Anniversary, Thrifty.

Mothernerd, I'm going to have to refer myself to the naughty step. After saying I had loads of toiletries I discovered I don't have a spare facial cleanser (most unusual for me not to have a spare one of everything) and the one that I'm using won't last beyond the end of the week. So to keep the skin care regime going I had to buy another. Sorry! I have everything now. I promise I won't do it again.

Himself and I had a three mile walk. Glad we went out when we did as when we got back it was absolutely sweltering. Bit cooler this morning so we'll try for a short walk as he is waiting for his wine delivery (don't ask!!!).

Apart from that things are going pretty well. Must make a greater effort to get rid of some stuff we don't need though. 

Have a good day.

Today will be NSD3, I got surprised by a school trip letter last night (it was £13 for this trip 2 years ago, this year it is a £27 voluntary contribution - you contribute or you can't go!) they are only going to Birmingham  on  a coach. DS1 and DS2 went so I can't say no to DS3. Cheque written, spelling mistakes on the permission form corrected (I am an a$$), today I will not be hijacked by the NEC.

Happy Tuesday, another day at home, massively avoiding marking (work) since I'm of work, except that doesent change deadlines for examboards. I guess elbow is ok, never got call back from a and e though - they were supposed to offer physiotherapy! 
Am playing catch up with calls to various agencies on behalf of ds1, quite a lot of hangups across the board. I can only do so much in one day, then I get to angry and have to go prune some trees in teh garden, luckkily I have an apple tree with lots of wild shoots. Just a bit hard with one hand! 
Enjoy the sunshine/light cloud xx

Abundant, I think mothernerd is rocking along north Wales at the mo. She'll be back soon.

Good Afternoon ⛅

Happy Anniversary Thrifty! 24 years... I don't think I've ever lasted 24 months!!!... and 24 days would be a miracle haha! 

Apple - yes she's AWL (absent with leave!) so there is no policing 👮🏻‍♂️🚔 of cheeky comments and no naughty step confinement!!! 

Had a nice day today - and was mindful of not spending anything... even put my wallet in the boot of my car when I went through the village to an appointment so I wouldn't be tempted to spend! 

Today = NSD number 2

Today I am grateful for:
1) The sun breaking through lifting my spirits
2) My new counsellor - he is awesome!
3) Ongoing momentum to track my habits and self-care

Quiet evening in... Back to work tomorrow after a long break. Slightly apprehensive, but will be good to get back into a routine

Have a nice evening folks x

NSD 3 for me today

Spent the afternoon doing 'using up' cooking, as I had loads of really boring apples, plus some hard and sour plums and peaches from Lidl. I bought the plums and peaches last week, and they haven't ripened at all. I made an apple and raisin crumble, an apple and plum and an apple and peach one. I still have some of the peaches left. Two of the crumbles will go in the freezer when properly cold. Also made scones, and a fish pie topped with mixed potato and sweet potato mash (I had some of each to use up) for dinner.

Also did 2 loads of washing and got them dried outside on the line.

Shopping tomorrow - so won't be a NSD. I will need to wipe out the fridge and ensure that there is nothing else lurking in there which needs using up before I go!
