Still 7 NSDs, as today was a spend day. Took DD to the closest city, spent some vouchers, bought some bits and had lunch out. Neither of us have eaten anything since so as the cost covered 2 meals each it wasn't too bad at all! 
I am continuing my decluttering so actually more things have left the house than entered and everything coming in was needed or very much wanted so it's all good! 
Back to work and school tomorrow so no plans to spend any money in the next couple of days!

great news @toni’s friend 

NSD 9 for me yesterday. Although I scraped together some change from my purse to buy a baguette to have with our soup for dinner (63 cents) I have decided it still counts… 

Had a lot of scary work frogs to eat yesterday and I managed to do so without too much anxiety and stress.

did not go to the gym or do my splits exercises yesterday, decided I needed fresh air so went for a walk and read my book in the park. 

Grateful for almost making it through one of the busiest work weeks I’ve had, for hot showers and coffee.

hanks, everyone. Yes it is a relief that they've found nothing other than that which they already knew about.

Glad your Husband is back home, Trifty Taylor. I hope it was all positive.

I made French onion soup in my slow cooker yesterday. First time I've made it and it was delicious. I have to confess we haven't been eating properly or healthily recently so I must attend to making proper meals again. Salmon, potatoes and asparagus tonight. And I must start cleaning the house properly as well and start going out again. I've barely left the house for weeks!

I really can't see a natural successor to Nicola Sturgeon either. There are a few people who are very experienced but I don't really see any of them as FM.

Anyway must get on. Washing to do. xx

A tad more decluttering & washing Miss S's many blankets which seem to get mucky so quickly.

Does anyone take magnesium for anxiety?

Evening turtles. Another day off today, decided to just chill indoors for the most part. Swallowed some frogs, finished my book and read most of a magazine. Went for a walk and did some pilates. I think I just want to recharge on this time off and I'm not fussed that I'm not doing much.

Small spend as I paid for a gym class on Saturday. 

Was meant to have physio tomorrow but they called to cancel, and a friend has cancelled a lunch date on me so I have another day to myself!

Today I am grateful for dc being told they only need to wear their retainers at night now, for dh getting the aerial fixed after it fell down a few weeks ago in the wind, for the carpet of dark purple croci, for hm chips, for getting some online training done.

Grateful today for Thursday being my Friday at work, for leftovers for lunch and homemade chilli from the freezer for dinner, and for getting to see my auntie and cousin from Australia (albeit under sad circumstances as Auntie’s Mum passed away).

Today I am grateful for:
1. Dc are in bed.
2. The end of half term is almost here.
3. The glass of wine I had when I came downstairs after putting the dc in bed.

Yep been one of them days.

Condolences @ldee2111

Evening all

No NSD today, as I had to buy cold meds from B**ts on the way to work this morning. As it was a spend day anyway, I ordered a birthday present for DS, plus some interdental brushes and a radiator brush (the glamour ), all needed items. Took lunch to work, came home a bit early as it was freezing in the shop, and I was coughing a lot. I am asthmatic, and any cold that is going round leads to coughing fits / breathing problems for me unfortunately, which is why they are such a nuisance!

Had a small ebay sale, plus an email from z*ffit to say that they are paying me for the books I sent them last week, so all good.

Grateful today for cold meds, HM chilli from the fridge for dinner, and a little extra money from decluttering.
