Progress not Perfection

Morning all.

Up early thanks to the cats but not complaining as I do love being up early when I’m not going to work. Drinking coffee and reading my book - bliss. 

Heading into the city centre to pick up Mr SA’s glasses later. We’ll need to set off at 9am. He wants to go for a coffee afterwards then look at the Christmas market. When I was last in Primani I noticed they’re taking clothes in any condition for recycling so I’ve got a bag of things not suitable for resale to drop off. That’s one less bag to get rid of. 

When we get back we’ll need to take the dog on the park. Then this afternoon will be all about finishing the cleaning, making a batch of soup for work lunches and general prepping for the week ahead. 

Need to sort out something for tonight’s dinner from stores. There is leftover rose cava 🥂

Have a good one ☺️

Mr SA has his glasses and as they weren’t busy I ordered some for myself from the petite range. Not cheap as they were designer frames and then the reading glasses needed the lenses thinning and the computer glasses needed anti glare. Very much needed though as I had my eye test almost a year ago and I had budgeted for them. 

We went for coffee afterwards and it was so embarrassing as Mr SA was totally oblivious of the 2 minutes silence at 11 and all you could hear was him loudly stirring sugar into his coffee. I shot him a look pointing at the time and he said “what”  🤦‍♀️

It was drizzling on the way home but had stopped by the time we got back so we took the dog for a run on the park. 

Mr SA is now sound asleep in bed and the dog is asleep at the side of me. 

Won yet another lucky dip on the Lotto three times in a row now 🙂

We went to the Christmas market Friday night. Much better in the dark with all the lights on but most things were a bit of a rip off imo.

That's Monday done. Worked in the office until just after lunchtime then finished up at home.

Very stormy today! I'm on the 6th floor at work and kept seeing leaves and bits of paper flying past the window!

Finances have been checked and cc balance paid off. New 4 week budget period starts today and there was an underspend of £123.77 in the last period. The oddment of £3.77 has gone to the Christmas 2024 pot and the rest split between personal spends and entertainment. 

It's been a NSD day today and not before time!

If anyone has the Caffe Ner0 app if you link your Waitr0se loyalty card to it you get a free coffee. Picked mine up this morning on the way to work 😁

Today's exercise was walking to/from work and I'm giving the live hula hooping class another try later as they've brought the time forward by an hour so it suits me better. I will get the hang of that hoop 😆

Tonight's dinner is butternut squash dhal left over from Saturday.

That's a great budget underspend.  Well done!

The instructor barely moves which is key apparently. Amazing how she just picks it up and it stays up. I’m getting better but not got the knack yet.
