Progress not Perfection

Afternoon all.

I've had a very productive day today, really pleased.

Had a lovely quiet early morning as DD went to work and Mr SA didn't get up until 9am. 

We took the dog on the park, she had a really good walk around and I did a good litter pick.

Got back home and cracked on with the cleaning giving the kitchen, bathroom and bedroom particular attention. Did two loads of washing as it was dry this morning, however it's rained all afternoon so it hasn't dried. On the plus side there's no ironing to do.

Made a batch of spiced carrot and lentil soup for work lunches. Prepped tonight's dinner which is another old favourite spiced butternut squash stew with herb dumplings. Slightly changed this recipe as subbed squash for pumpkin and left off the egg as I can't abide eggs 🤢

Made a meal plan for next week taking note of what I already have in stock. Updated Tuesday's Mr M delivery.

Received the monthly statement from Octopus and still £572 in credit which is a good amount now the weather is getting colder and the heating will no doubt start kicking in soon.

As tomorrow is the start of the new 4 week budget period have closed off the current budget period with a decent underspend of £167.59. Divided this up into various pots: £7.59 to Christmas, £50 to personal spends, £20 to stock up shop pot, £20 to entertainment, £30 to house/garden, £20 to tech replacement pot and £20 to the vet pot. A couple more oddments shaved off and sent to the Christmas pot so in total £18.93 to that pot. 

Today has been NSD4 of September, halfway to my target of 8. 

Mr SA kindly reminded me last night that I'm doing a full week at work this coming week. Well thanks for reminding me about work on a Saturday night, much appreciated 😐

Going to enjoy a nice relaxing soak in the bath now.

Mr SA was ‘starving’ by the time we got in so ended up making his lunch straight away. He always seems to be hungry and claims it’s because he’s not absorbing nutrients because of his IBD 😐 I did query what nutrients he thought there were in a Gr£ggs sausage roll.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 That cracked me up!

Yes, that was the bit I found hilarious too!
