Progress not Perfection

Well that’s my leave from work over 😭 Back to the grindstone tomorrow.I’ve had a pottering about getting stuff done day.Both freezers have been audited and contents listed that I will no doubt forget to keep up to date. I really need to use up some of the bread based items, in fact meal plans will have to revolve around the contents until stocks have gone down.Did my usual Monday finance check and cc balance has been paid off. Still a few things pending but they’ll probably be cleared ready to pay off by Wednesday’s mid week check. It’s the final week of the 4 week budget period and it’s looking good for a decent underspend. NSD 2 of September, aiming for minimum of 8 this month.Housework wise got a load of washing dry and ironed and cleaned the bathroom. All holiday stuff and suitcases have been put away.Managed an hour in my hanging chair reading which was lovely.Today’s exercise has been dog walking this morning, generally pottering about for most of the day and it’s strength training later.Tonight’s dinner is a portion of butternut squash dhal with a mini naan bread both from freezer stocks.On the potato sprouting front, I’ve noticed they seem to sprout quickly at the moment. I wonder if it’s to do with all the warm weather we’ve had. The only ones that haven’t sprouted are the organic ones from the veg box. I’ve started keeping them in a dark cool cupboard now to see if that makes a difference.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)3
