Thanks savingholmes, it felt good to overhaul the passwords and its reduced my feelings of anxiety whenever hacking hits the news.  Keeping on top of it is going to be an ongoing task - I can already see more passwords being flagged as compromised.  I'll be swapping them with more complex ones courtesy of the password manager. 

Work has been incredibly busy lately - but I'm finally turning a corner with it.  Lots more to do though and my exercise and healthy eating has been suffering slightly, so I'll be putting that right over the BH weekend.  I've also been doom scrollng too much, so my sleep hygiene needs repairing with some reading before bed.

I've been looking at making these self watering pots.  It involves drainage pipes, a liner and a tube - looks very effective.  I wish I'd made some before this long hot summer.

In other news I had a great haul at the chazzer yesterday - two dresses and a blouse which would have cost c£200.  Really pleased with my treasures

The end of the month seems to come towards us really quickly, and then the few days before payday go so slowly. 

Then the day or two before PB winners announced goes extra slowly

I've just signed up to a new podcast series which are around 20 mins long each, so perfect for a short walk.  The first one is dated 2015  and there seem to be about 3 a week, so plenty to keep me going - around 6 months according to my not very reliable calculations and of course new ones added every week so we'll see.  Enjoying them so far.

Password Updating:

191 Passwords containing 17 security issues (most are easily guessed or re-used but only one is for an important account and that has additional security measures so I'll change that when I have a calm moment as don't want to accidentally lose access.

I also checked the haveIbeenpwned website to find there were only three data breaches listed for my email address. I had already deleted one connected account and have now updated the other two with super strong passwords.  I'm finding it really helpful to have them all saved securely in one place.

I really need to resolve my passwords too. TBH when I switch between different devices I often end up having to reset anyway so not sure how big a deal it is for me.
