    Morning, very nearly made it to a NSD yesterday! . These are very rare over here. 
    I went on v1nted and found a fab top, new with tags for a tenner from a (not cheap) brand that. DD likes, so that's a Xmas pressie sorted.
    Need to try and get a few more sorted this week.

    Nothing planned for today, I should maje another list as they definitely make me more productive!

    I still have over 2 weeks before I have a tooth out and the tooth has started to niggle again over the last couple of days. I really hope it stays at a low level niggle, i cant cope with the level of pain I had before.

    😻😻Gratefuls😻😻

    A quiet day with no plans 
    A good book to read
    A good series on Netflix! 

    = any watch The good place, with Ted Hanson? Well they just realised a new show called The Man on the Inside. It's brilliant and there a few little nods to the good place which were fun to look out for.
    I highly recommend, very funny and also very touching and sensitively done around aging and dementia

  • So been to toscos and bought a lovely xmas panettone treat. We were given one last year and so wanted another before they sold out! Also bought DS2 an advent calender to post to his uni.
    And got some xmas bits for DS1 and GF who wont be with us on xmas day, so they'll have a good bag and a bottle of baileys!
    Also ordered a coeliac cookbook for DS2, that will prb be a birthday gift as he has that coming up before xmas!

    I am building a wish list too!!!, oracle cards, a crystal grid, a crystal ball .....
    I have always fancied a crystal ball, but the large one are rather expensive!!! Not sure if I should add it!

  • Monday, lovely monday, no work mondays!! long may they last!!! 
    I took the doggo for a walk down on the sea front and i enjoyed it, he hated it!! He's such a nervous little thing, it was busy with people and dogs and it was windy, so im not really surprised he didnt enjoy it. Still hoping one day he will get used to it and enjoy being outside. Hes certainly interested in it all when hes in the car sniffing out the window!!
    Came home and had lunch, leftover risotto and then spent an hour and a half clearing up leaves in the back garden, filled the green bin.

    What even better is i got my next installment from my new clinic person, so have stashed that money with the previous. Its adding up nicely and Im not touching it. It will be used for the next meditation retreat!

    Gratefuls today

    A lovely walk in the bight sunshine
    Hands in the earth, grounding and taking a moment to be present
    Time ~ today has be so lovely. No children, just me and the doggo.

    I'm trying to keep up with the gratefuls. I also try and do them every night, but often fall asleep before I manage 10!
