Day didn't go as planned but muddled through the best we could. First nsd.
Grateful for
1) nature's bounty
2) simple food
3) the invention of the steam engine

Good morning turtles!
I didn't get a chance to post yesterday, had an unexpected 14 hour day at work
so doing anything online was the last thing on my mind when I got home. A tough day but a good outcome I have to say so it was worth the hard graft. I was 2 hours away from home though and because I hadn't anticipated being away for so long I ended up buying dinner as I was starving. So no NSD but under the circumstances it's not something I'll be beating myself up over.
Today is a life admin kinda day. I've also got a 3 hour yoga class booked later, something to look forward to!8 -
The PBs gave me £100 this month. Thanks very much!
Today will be going into town and taking in-laws to lunch, so will involve spends. As we have visitors I have not done any budget planning or money shunting for this month. Not made a plan. So I am holding on to the frond of seaweed with my tail and trying not to get swept away with the current, but enjoy being swayed by the waves. Today Apple, I am a seahorse.
Or I might just need some more coffee.....4/10/22One Year Mortgage Free Yay!

What could possibly go wrong 😕?? I am feeling very constricted with the visitors being here for another 48 hours and DH being willfully and constructively unhelpful. Don't know how you coped with 2 weeks of visitors, you are a better apple than I.4/10/22One Year Mortgage Free Yay!

I’m late to this, but you are c. 6.5 hours on from when you posted so only another 40 odd to go, and some of those you / your visitors will be asleep. Sorry to hear that DH is being unsupportive. I have a spare kipper here you can whack him around the head with?! 😉 In all seriousness though, I think it’s unkind that he has done this, he must know how much you struggle with these visits.f0xh0les said:What could possibly go wrong 😕??

Got lots of batch cooking done this morning, hoovered, emptied all the bins, got a load of washing done, cleaned the kitchen and most importantly did my nails
Went to my yoga class and felt much better for it. Managed to fall asleep during the relaxation at the end of the 3 hours, just hoping I didn't snore too loudly!
NSD number 1 and all round lovely day!10
