Thanks Doris x
Well I'm up early today, and the washing is on and I'm hopeful to get it hanging up outside.
I have a tutoring session this morning, with a new lady, so looking forward to that.
Then I need to do some more work on my accounts. The books are up to date now, finished that bit yesterday. But I would like to finalise the accounts and get ahead, rather than waiting until January!!
💚💚Gratefuls today 💚💚
. Getting the washing on and being organised!
. Having my healing work ready for the session today, very grateful to have been given a tutee, all the earnings from this go straight to my pension. This was always my unofficial rule for my side hustle (not sure. Side Hustle is the right word!!)
. A quiet moment of peace and solitude with a lovely cup of coffee, thank you

Hi, back from my. Meditation weekend, it was so lovely a small group this time of 15 so we had lots of opportunity to talk to everyone. Lovely meditations and great food and a fab room with a lake view! Everyone is on the same wave length and we all follow a particular meditation guru and all all been to one of his retreats there is much commons ground and the energy just flows. Next one is January, must start a saving out for it!!

I did a really really good job today.
I completed my accounts and filled my tax return 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Go. me,
Last years was filed in Jan , so I am very happy to get that job done.
There is some tax to pay, but last year I paid it and then a few weeks later they refunded it. So I'm going to wait a bit and see before handing over my lovely money!!
Today had been a good day, fab meditation, I gathered lots of my healing bits and. Bobs and took photos in the garden I hopes that I might finally get round to putting a website together! Also added a bit more to my vision board. This has been a good exercise on helping my focus on wants and goals.
I also signed up for some online courses which seem ok. There not terribly in depth, but look to be what I want right now!
And I'm looking into another course which is much more expensive, but it would allow me to take my healing work in a new and very exciting direction, so when I have saved up this will probably happen! It's good to get excited about new possibilities and directions. I feel all fired up and ready to make my way in this feild, I've been gently dabbing my toes now I'm going to go deep sea swimming hahaha 🐟🐟🐟😂
🙏Gratefuls today🙏
. The sun peaked out long enough to make nice photos
. Good 50 minute meditation, so lovely I didn't want it to stop!
. Feeling inspired by others in my field of healing work who are doing such great things, making me want to get more involved in this cutting edge work.♥️ ♥️ ♥️🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸Decluttering 2025 So far 403 / 2025

Very writer day today, gent very tired. DH took the day off and had driven up north to visit uni boy. Who unfortunately has a nasty cold. I would have loved to go too, but couldn't leave the dog and DD1 for 2 nights. So I had to make do with a video call when he arrived!
I have however nearly finished one of the 3 courses I signed up for and started both of the others, both are I not more involved and longer than the first one, but it was a nice refresher.
I added £42 and £30 to my envelope challenge today, so that's still coming along. Also managed another £50 to the pension pot this week. But still spending way too much! 😩😩

. Made a delicious beef stew with dumplings for tea. First proper winter meal and haven't made dumplings for years!
. My new handbag from vinted arrived about a week ago and I have now transferred by bus and pieces over. It was a fossil bag new with labels for £16, it's really nice and I'm very happy as I have looked for quite a while as current bad is becoming quite grotty and worn.
. A quiet weekend ahead! Tomorrow I'm collecting something from FB market place to test out an idea and then later I'm going to do a waking meditation at the beach. Should be fun!!

I had a sort out of my pots and changed a few around, my tax saver money is now in a savings account with the sane bank the work money goes in, which maked more sense esp as the interest rate is higher than it was. I have also reinstated the health pot which I stopped for a while, but I have done dental work coming up and also I need to get my eyes tested, so I really do need this pot!
Ooh and I got a new credit card, The one I got first was the only place that would accept me because I haven't had a credit card or loan and Being self empoyed meant no one would agree to give me a card! But the place that did allowed me £1200 and then upped it to £2000. But annoyingly the Apr was huge. And even more annoyingly it seems to have developed a problem in letting me pay it off!!
So anyway I have a new one and it's. £5000 and it's connected to another bank that I already have an account with. So soon I will cancel the first one and get rid of the app!
I'm not planning to spend on the new card except for petrol. But I am going to go to a retreat next year and it will be very handy to have a higher level for that and then pay it back from the various pots.♥️ ♥️ ♥️🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸Decluttering 2025 So far 403 / 2025

Saturday, lovely quiet day, picked up a digital photo frame from FB marketplace, brand new in box for a tenner, i have a healing project to try out which I'm really excited about. Except being useless at tech I couldn't fathom how to get the images onto it. It is a usb cable but I can't see how to send the pics over. I will try again. Unfortunately I can't put a memory stick it's only sd card or USB cable.
Hopefully I will work it out tomorrow, or DH will have a go when he comes home.

Sunday,
Medidtation done, really lovely one
2 hours of gardening done
Tools cleaned and ready for work tomorrow
Made soup (and eaten, plus DD had some 😁 and DH, DS1 had 5 sausages and no soup!!!)
Now, I'm cold so just lit the wood burner!
Other than a roast dinner, not doing much, maybe some of my course
✨✨Grateful s today✨✨
. My lovely woodburner with free heat as the wood is all from the garden
. My new privet hedge, back in Feb we had to dig out metres and metres of the box infested box hedge. But I have to say the privet is coming along leaps and bounds and it's already a screen, all be it not very dense, it's done well.
. Chocolate, yum, a week deserved cuppa and a bit of chocolate xx
