It is JUST beginning to brighten up here a little.  Such a disappointment after the lovely cold but really sunny day yesterday.

@badmemory, brighten up beautifully yesterday, even got a line of washing dry. Fingers crossed for the same today.

Got my payslip this morning, get paid on Tuesday. Going to spend half an hour before work, looking at Novembers budget. Increased my pension contributions this month, pay has not decreased by that much, because of the tax. Need to reduce some of my savings payments to cover the cost.

Out all day today by the sea, if the weather allows I am going to have a walk along the seafront in my lunch hour.

Someone forgot to put the clock back last night! Feels like I have been awake for hours, have manage to get a few things done in the time I have been up.
Vegetable prepared for dinner this evening.
Recycling moved to the front gate ready to go out this evening.
Small apple crumble made using some wrinkly apples from the fruit bowl and half a bag of slightly out of date crumble mix.
Dog has had his morning walk.
Washing on the line, will be keeping my eyes peeled for rain.
Bathroom cleaned along with the kitchen.
Also been in the loft to get some bit down to list on Market Place and its still on 9am.

Heavens have just opened, washing safely in, all nice and dry. Today has been a strange day, forgetting the clock has really put me out, even when back to bed for a nap at lunchtime as I felt so out of sorts. Even the dog is feeling it, he has sat by his food bowl for the last half hour, pawing the empty bowl, dinner time is 4pm for him

NSD as I have not ventured out of the house. Market place sale pick up arranged for tomorrow morning, fingers crossed they show up.

Tonight I think is going to be an early night, hopefully tomorrow will be a less tired day!

When we used to have dogs we used to get them used the lost hour by moving their feed time by about 10-15 minutes a day until they'd got used to the new time.  They soon get used to it.

Obviously had to do the reverse when they went forward!

@joedenise last year he was only a small puppy, he is now a big boy who likes his food. I will be more mindful in the future.

Items have been picked up and £10.00 has gone into the holiday tin for next year. Vinted sale over night, wrapped and ready to drop off later who I have to go out.
Will be having a mushroom omelette for brunch  later as there are some sad mushroom that need to be used. Dinner this evening from the freezer faggots for Mr D and smoked haddock for me.

It's payday!

All money have been moved to where it needs to be. This month I tracked all my side hustle money and made £371.85. Will be looking to keep track again this month, set myself a challenge of making £5.00 per day.

Have a Next order that I need to pick up later, socks and underwear for Mr D and DS, find they last longer and wash really well. Hoping to get all my Christmas gift shopping done by the end of November.

Busy weekend, yesterday did some more Christmas shopping and got a fair bit off my list, still waiting for my mother to decide what she would like/needs, hopefully I will know by next weekend. 
Had a win of £50.00 from Premium Bonds, very surprise when I saw the email, been reinvested in more bonds.
Had my breakdown renewal quote, same price as last year, so I renewed.
Made bread pudding this morning, using all the bit of bread in the freezer, freed up some space. Chicken is cooking, vegetable cleaned ready to cook, will plate up an extra meal for lunch tomorrow.
Dog has had a lovely long walk this morning, dry when we got up, so we went out more or less straight away and it still hasn't rained yet. Had door and windows open, great to get some fresh air through the house and there is a line of washing out.
Livingroom has been cleaned and moved around ready for Christmas, love moving furniture, makes the room look much bigger.
Re-potted two plants that needed bigger homes and moved some other plants to the back of the garden to protect through Winter, enjoyed being out in the garden this morning, my happy place.
Bought a box dye yesterday, hair dying is my plan for this afternoon.

NSD 2//15.

Out and about day today. The country lanes which I travel through where heavily flooded, there were no signs advising this, note to self take a different route  on Thursday.

Working from home today so it will be a NSD. Later start this morning as I am taking back the time I worked over yesterday.
My dog walking trainers bit the dust this morning, they were very old but very comfortable, will use my walking shoes during winter which will be more appropriate for the weather. 
The rain has eventually stopped and there is a lovely blue sky, got a line full of washing out and several windows open getting some fresh air through the house. 

NSD 7/15.

Happy Saturday 

We are going to visit my DS and mother this morning, we be going out for breakfast at a lovely little café not far from Mum's house, all budgeted for as its my turn to pay.  Later a trip to the local supermarket which is way bigger than our, so today will definitely be a spend day.  Need to pop to the local farm to pick up our eggs, may not get as many over the darker months are the chicken don't lay as many.
