Oh, beanie, is that because you're still waiting for the PIP payment? Are you ok?

Today I am grateful for my morning gym visit, for dc getting themself up, for trying a new oaty cakey recipe out, for finding petrol at only(!!!) 149.9..., for a video call with big sis and mum, for a comfy sofa.

Still plodding on.
Just scunnered, thanks.

Sending big hugs @beanielou, & hope the wait will be over very soon 🤞🤞🤞

NSD#7 finally!
Had a lie in, awoke to a very still day. Did YWA, then thought about walking up to my friend's farm to photograph the memory bear in a tractor (as it's for a farmer's wife), but was piddling it down with rain, so I stayed home! Did some sorting & tidying, listed a few things on selling sites. Counted up my 20p collection, so £50 towards our holiday 😃 the rain turned to snow mid-afternoon. Was a bit stressful driving to the airport & back. DS1's flight to Glasgow was delayed, luckily his next flight isn't til tomorrow morning. It's the first time he's flown since going on a school trip when he was 11, so a bit nerve wracking. He's never been abroad before either, so I'll be glad once he gets there, & then comes home. He's promised to txt regularly to let me know he's ok. Think he's had his eyes opened at the airport in Glasgow, said he saw a man fighting a policeman! Don't get much of that on our island. Had a nice bath, then watched the Sarah Lancashire programme, really enjoying it.

Grateful for safe driving, safe flying, DS updates so far, his boss giving him some Euros, my 20p collection being bigger than I'd thought

The SA rah Lancashire programme is fantastic.

Hi all, 

Goodness...I have realized I have't been here almost all week. I am at NSD#10 - very pleased with that. 

I fell off a bit of a cliff this week, with commuting, and caught up in a fantasy of buying a funny little house - worked out how and when I could get a 5% deposit (pricey) and asked for a viewing - it was under offer. Just as well really. 

Literally unable to do more than the bare minimum over the weekend - bang went my consistency!

Grateful for the walk across London Bridge, having enough food to not need to go to sianbugs / getting deliveroo, and that meant I didn't buy wine, my yoga teacher changing the pricing plan for remote and in-person sessions.

DrCarrie, be kind to yourself. Consistency isn't always getting it right, it's most of the time/more often than not. And you are doing that. Hugs.

Indeed apple...being the best possible me is a daily / hourly thing - in this moment I am being the best possible me.

Consistency and routines are great, they have gotten me through rough times - as a pick up after a systems break down. You have to be kind to yourself.
 I just had a look and I have not tracked my exercise since October now I'm back after a few weeks of getting back into it. I might even loose that lb - again 🙂
Have a happy Monday everybody.

I have a day off!! yay!! Sadly it is on the day with two volunteering jobs, so will combine a spend day with petrol, and food shopping. Fell off my NSD yesterday, as I went to Herr Ron and spent a massive £12!!!!

89p veggie mince came home with me, and 2 for £1 gf/df Goo puddings. So suppers and lunchboxes will be a bit more interesting than planned.  Shopping list rejigged,

4 work shifts left to go ........ 8,4,4 and 8 hours left.
