Progress not Perfection

Aw, that's a lovely thing to happen - your 14 year old self will be happy

How lovely that you were remembered after all that time.

Sorry! At least your windows are clean though!

How exciting to meet him and he remember you too. 

Mr SA not telling you things were running out this time wasn't actually worked out quite nice! Shame it doesn't happen every time!

Everything happens for a reason. If you hadn't gone to the shop, you wouldn't have seen your past love.  The universe works in mysterious ways.

That’s lovely 🥰

And just like that it’s Smonday 😭 

Slept like a log again last night and wasn’t even disturbed by Mr SA’s midnight shower. DD told me he was showering at that hour as it woke her up. Of course he’s denied it 😐

Ended up going back to the big Mr T as Mr SA  loved the top I got him yesterday so much he wanted it in another colour. Managed to get one reduced from £19.50 to £8. 

Incorporated the dog walk into our trip. 

When we got back I made vegan banana loaf to use up some black bananas, a batch of butternut squash soup for work lunches, a batch of coleslaw and put some tofu under a weight to squeeze the liquid out before freezing some and the rest is for tonight’s dinner. 

Wiped down the woodwork upstairs that didn’t get done yesterday. Also gave the bathroom a good clean. 

Tonight’s dinner is trying a new recipe from the Waitr0se paper - Tofu and mixed vegetable pasta sauce.

Next week’s meal plan and shopping list done. Finished my current book so need to choose a new one from my bookshelves. 

Just about to do a yoga session then will have a nice relaxing soak in the bath with a face mask and candles.

Even on a weekend you don't rest....you must just have so much energy

I don’t have a choice. If I don’t catch up on household tasks at the weekend they’ll never get done. I sleep well so that’s my rest. I also get about an hour at night to watch TV with my feet up but I struggle to stay awake most of the time.

That's Monday done. 

Worked in the office until lunchtime and finished up at home. 

Stopped off at Lid! on the way home. It was chaos in there as not only was it busy they are trying to refurbish it while it's open, although it's closing early every day this week to finish it off. Picked up a free cookie for Mr SA from the spinning wheel thing and have now won a brownie, he'll be happy he loves their sweet bakery items. 

In money news, picked up my free weekly coffee courtesy of 0ct0pus. Still in credit to the tune of £472.21, bills are higher than the monthly payment at the moment so the credit is being eaten into quite a bit. Netfl1x has gone up by £1 a month. Paid for garden waste scheme which has also gone up by £5 a year. Can't manage without it as we have a lot of garden waste most of the year round and no means of taking it to the 'local' tip over 10 miles away. 

Monday finance check done, all ticking over. CC balance was just £1.18 so will leave paying it off until the pending items have cleared. 

Mr SA has been scouring the charity shop again and has purchased some heated gloves that take 6 batteries! I would imagine this will make the gloves quite heavy and bulky with the battery packs as well. The stuff he buys!

Today's exercise has been walking to/from work and I'm going to do a short yoga session later.

Tonight's dinner is leftover Tofu and mixed vegetable pasta from yesterday. 

I'm trying to break up the housework tasks this week into small daily chunks, however I'm always trying to do this but then get too busy so we shall see. Tonight's task is vacuuming and steam scrubbing the floors and wiping down the kitchen cupboard doors. Also need to finalise the Mr M order for tomorrow morning.

Opted in for the electricity savings hour at 5.30 although the amount this saves is miniscule.

I'm going to have to get a new phone sooner rather than later as more and more apps won't update as it's not on the latest IOS. I can get by this to some extent as they're on my iPad too but the time will come when I need the ones on my phone. I've had the money set aside for some time but too tight to part with it 🤣

Might as well be getting some interest until the last possible moment!
