Progress not Perfection

I think that's a great way to do it SA. Going part time will help Mr SA get used to change and not forgetting you too. You are so used to being full on pretty much 7d a week that to go from full to zero might be a shock to the system. The smaller drop first will also let you see how things go with Mr SA and what strategies work best before you're at home full time with not much 'escape'.

Afternoon all.

Payday 🎉 Money shuffling done. CC balance cleared. Regular savers money in place waiting for tomorrow. Oddment of £4.29 sent to the Christmas pot.

Did a 7.30 live Yoga class then caught the bus to work. Dropped off 2 bags of textile recycling in Primani, several pill blister packs in B00ts and picked up the W@itrose paper and food magazine.

Worked in the office until just after lunchtime then walked home via Lid!.

It's really warm and sunny this afternoon, I had to take my jacket off on the way home.

Today's exercise plan: yoga (done), walking home from work (done) and Zumba at 6pm.

Doing the electricity savings session 6-7 so I need to make sure Mr SA is fed before then and I've cooked my dinner ready to reheat when I've finished Zumba.

Tonight's dinner is the first recipe I'm trying from the new PON cookbook - Korma style cauliflower with coriander rice.

Cashed out £16.22 from TCB and £29.67 from PA. I've got a lunch out with friends next Friday so I'll earmark it for this. I'm thinking about booking the day off so I can have a wander round the city centre first.

Yes, the weather has been lovely today.

Good idea to have a day off

Glad hospital visit went smoothly. Lol to the nurse and your response

Great that new scooter is there and approved of by cat, dog, and Mr SA!

Morning all. Happy October 🎃

WFH today. Still up at the same time so I had a lovely relaxing start to the day.

Did a short yoga session from the FitOn app.

All the regular savers have been fed. Final payments for a couple of them maturing next month. An oddment of £9.93 has gone to the Christmas pot.

Have booked my Mr M Christmas delivery slots!!

October is going to be a very busy month:

• 2nd - the dog's annual check up at the vets
• 8th - the old cat's urine extraction at the vets
• 9th - lunch out with friends
• 15th - call with Pension Wise
• 15th - Mr SA has another hospital appointment (I think this one is with the consultant to look at results)
• 16th - NW regular saver matures
• 16th - Hairdressers
• 23rd - another lunch out with friends
• At some stage I'll need to have my builder gel infilled and new colour put on

I was thinking about going to a fashion & fizz event at a local boutique later today but I don't really have time and I don't really need anything. I could do with a NSD today as there are quite a few spendy days coming up.

Today's exercise plan: yoga (done), dog walking later this morning, strength training at lunchtime, Zumba tonight.

Tonight's dinner is a portion of salmon from freezer stocks with roast sweet potato and steamed veg.

That is a busy month! Is old cats appt an actual urine extraction or are you being polite about the vets bill 😁

No it’s literally a urine extraction 🤣 Most of the cost is covered by her pet plan but I’ll have to fork out £60.

Ah well at least you'll have a classic joke to soothe paying sixty quid 😁

I’ve never heard of that.
