Progress not Perfection

I’m another who likes to write for me and not for Dh to read. As far as I know he’s not particularly interested but does take the Micky when I’ve had diaries.

I go off for a day or two and what happens, New Diaries appear. Love reading your diary and look forward to more shenanigans from Mr SA. Xx

I have subscribed. I have always loved your comments on other diaries, but I am a read from the beginning person and yours were always so long! Catching one at its birth has made me happy 😆

Good luck with your new planner!  Perhaps keeping it in the under-the-kitchen-sink cupboard may prove to be Mr SA proof!😀

Morning, happy Thursday.

WFH today thank goodness as I didn't wake up until 6am! Must've been making up for the poor night's sleep the night before when Mr SA switched the TV on at 1am.

I need to go out later to the Post Office to post the faulty Fitbit. Not sure whether to nip up to Aldi while I'm out, we need a few bits but they could possibly wait until the weekend. I need to make my mind up soon as I've got a meeting at 10.30.

Today's exercise will be dog walking, a lunchtime live toning session and I'm going to do a workout from the FitOn app after work. I need to use that app more, it's free and has loads of good short workouts on it. I'm going to do a proper plan for exercise to make sure I'm doing a yoga and Pilates class each week. Pre-pandemic I used to do face to face classes and as well as walking to work I did Zumba, yoga, Pilates and Insanity. I know I do plenty of classes now but it's the stretching type ones I struggle to motivate myself to do. I always feel better afterwards. 

Tonight's dinner really needs to be something to use up the parsnips, swede and sweet potatoes languishing in the fridge. Probably a tray bake with veggie sausages. I must admit I'm getting sick of parsnips now. A few years ago I made a Jamie Oliver recipe for parsnip soup and it had 2 bags of parsnips in it. It put me off them for ages. 

I need to send some money to at least one of the regular savers today.

Forgot to say,  I mentioned my smart meter wasn’t working last week and the monitor had gone off. I had a proper look at it yesterday and the monitor had somehow been accidentally switched off - probably by me cleaning over enthusiastically 😬 So it is working after all. 

One thing that has stopped working is the electric ceiling vent in the bathroom. I’ve given it a good clean but it didn’t spring back into life.

I’m a little late to the party, but I don’t like to share my notebooks, journals, lists or crazy mind working either 🤣 I’m very secretive, plus I think MrWW would be horrified to see how much I moan about him in diary land. He tries his best and ranting in secret is so much kinder than to his face 😬

Happy New Diary SA, I also love notepads, diaries, journals, funky post it notes xx

I know there have been a few diaries over the years that have gone because partners or family found them, some really helpful long running ones too.  I wouldn't be overly happy about it either regardless of consent.  Hope you have found a good spot.

I haven’t started writing in it yet but its secret location will be the bottom drawer of my desk under some magazines as he can’t bend down that far. I like how it’s divided into 3 month sections so easy to break down goals into manageable amounts. Just got to decide on the goals now 🤣
