Progress not Perfection

I am missing out on the free electricity hour! Which provider gives it?
It is very windy besides the sea. Huge grey waves...

 However I did buy a brilliant peg bag that’s like a handbag you put on your shoulder. I’m always battling with my peg bag so this is brilliant. How did I get to the stage of getting excited over a peg bag 🤣 

I get genuinely excited if I go to someone's house and they have a Baylis and Harding soap I haven't seen before. We are smashing being middle aged 😂🥂

Amazing underspend 👏 The Christmas pot must be looking very healthy

It is a good idea though I hate them in every other way

I still have about half an hour of free to use from the battery top up.  What is not to like.  I just need to make sure that the notifications work for the next one.  Unless it is a sunny day I am looking at 7kwh free each time, so over a third free, I use a lot.

You should get emails, but if not, it tends to be mentioned a lot on here...

Used the free hour to do a wash and a dishwasher clean today. Really useful as I've just turned on the rad in the bathroom as it's felt cold in there over the last week. Nice warm towels finally!👍

Morning all, halfway through another week already!

WFH today thank goodness as I would've got soaked. What a miserable day after it being so lovely yesterday!

Ran out of time to post yesterday as I was in the office then finished at lunchtime to meet my friend for a drink and book swap.  I gave her 12 books and she gave me 11. My To Be Read shelves will never go down at this rate 😆It was lovely to catch up with her and time flew by. We have vowed to meet up before Christmas so we hopefully won't have quite so many books to bring with us.

I was going to catch the bus home as the books were quite heavy and I was aware the Mr M delivery was due in an hour's time. Typically all buses were severely delayed as the city centre was cordoned off due to a lorry breaking down and spilling its load. Ended up phoning Mr SA to ask him to be on Mr M duty and walked home. I was a good halfway home before a bus eventually passed me so I was glad I didn't wait. I managed to get home in time for the delivery in the end.

I was supposed to be going to a park volunteers group meeting but sent my apologies as I really didn't feel like going back out again and there wasn't really anything on the agenda that concerned me. 

Enjoyed my relaxing start to the day reading and a live yoga session. 

Today's exercise plan is yoga (already done), dog walking at some stage when it stops raining and Zumba tonight. 

I'm making a batch of sweet potato, chickpea and spinach curry for tonight's dinner, not made it for a while. No recipe I just make it up as I go along. 

Mid-week finance check done and cc balance cleared. I'm hoping for two NSDs in a row today and tomorrow as we don't need anything until the weekend now.

Mr SA was really testing my patience last night going on and on about his blooming outfit for DS's wedding and how all his clothes are scruffy and he basically needs a whole new wardrobe of clothes. I had mentioned earlier that I must earmark this Sunday for putting away my summer clothes and getting the warmer ones out which sparked him off moaning about last how Sunday I spent all day cleaning and now there's another Sunday planning for 'my' things when the most important thing is to go into town and buy him clothes. I reminded him if he helped a bit around the house and didn't make such a mess I wouldn't have to spend all weekend catching up. 

Oh and he had bought himself a jacket from the charity shop!

Aw SA you really are a star , I don't know how you keep your patience , obviously when you are a full time worker and a carer ! the big jobs can only be done at the weekend . It's perhaps because he has so much time on his hands he can think about his wants so much , hope all goes well and you get some relaxation time xx

@badmemory (and everyone) else 0ct0pus have a free electricity hour tomorrow (Thursday) 2-3 pm.

Thanks for the heads up.  I now know that I am set up properly as I have the email so that is one thing I can stop worrying about.  Now to see if I can beat Monday's 7.5 kWh.
