Progress not Perfection

@Sun_Addict - Snap! I've just put our month's £100 into premium bonds too. Our first draw next week, isn't it? And I think also for @ladyholly. Mr F has downloaded a bond checker app. Despite understanding the laws of probability very well & almost certainly better than me, he seems pretty sure we are going to strike lucky sooner rather than later! Fingers crossed for all of us PB newbies, anyway.

Let’s hope for beginner’s luck 😆🤞

Mr SA is jealous to death of my bathroom handiwork and has got out some of his ancient tools from the shed. He has also reminded me that no one bought him the new tool bag he requested for Christmas 😐

Anyway today has been another NSD as have been no further than the park across the road with the dog. The park was busy with people we don’t normally see. A woman was totally oblivious to her very boisterous large dog hassling smaller dogs while she chatted to another dog walker 😠 Our dog saw it off no problem but another dog was upset by it. 

Have got a bag of something out of the freezer that I am hoping is Mexican rice although it also looks like grated red cheese 😬 I sense potential disappointment on the horizon. Note to self please label things you put in the freezer. 

I don’t usually make new year resolutions but two things I’d like to work on are keeping on top of and using what’s in the freezer/store cupboard plus getting a plan in place to do the bulk of the housework in the week so I don’t have to do it all at the weekend.

I'm trying to get more of plan for housework. I mean I don't work, but still like to have some days where I don't have to do much, and can concentrate on some walks, more exercises, hobbies, and my free OU course that I haven't done any of for ages, since signing up. Also once the weather improves its nice to go out and meet friends more.  Also want to try and make more of a plan for exercises, different ones on different days

Yes first draw but I would be totally shocked if I ever win anything. Planning on adding to my vast £25 investment in January. 😀

I believe that PBs only go into the draw after a complete month, unless they are wins at the beginning of one month & then they are in the next month.

Yes I bought some PB's yesterday and the paperwork said that I have to own them for a whole month before they will be entered.  But you never know you might win on your first draw.  Or maybe I will

@badmemory - Yes, they need to be held for a complete month, so new ones purchased today will go into February's draw.

Welcome to my anal world - I have a spreadsheet that tells me what is on each shelf of my freezer.  Home frozen also have labels on them with dates so that I use Nov chilli before Decembers.

I also have a spreadsheet telling me what is in each shelf. Keeping it updated is another matter 🤣
