Thanks for this month's thread, @apple_muncher. Happy retirement @grandmanerd. Congratulations on your first air BnB booking @Starlight_at_Sea & hope your endoscopy goes ok tomorrow @weenancyinAmerica.

Didn't do yoga this morning, lay in bed & listened to the wind instead! I did put the washing on the airer & all the dry dishes away though.

Work involved lots of battles & physical movements, so absolutely shattered by lunch, then home time! Was very glad when the bell rang!

Did Norwegian when I got home. Was thinking about a nap, when DS1 appeared with a pack of amToo Trump cards. My eyes were looking towards the end, so I did pick categories with low scores to speed the game up. He was chuffed he won.

Lat down for 10 mins, then tea was ready. Did 3 sewing jobs. Rewarded myself with a hot chocolate.

Grateful for seeing a hare on my way to work (& managing not to run it over!), a pupil feeling sad & asking specifically for me to give them.a hug, inside breaktimes to avoid the gale force wind

Grateful overall this month for DS1 getting to & from Hong Kong safely, extension plans moving forward, 17 NSDS, saving money when shopping, & decluttering 52 things, & not forgetting - you lot!

See you in February 😃

Used to love Top Trumps with DS Thrifty. 😊

Endoscopy went okay today. Managed to read a book while waiting and after I got home. Tomorrow we are supposed to have a terrific rain storm. Plan on staying in and getting some things done around the house. Roommate is already experiencing problems with the television service due to storm. See you over in February.

Belated Birthday Greetings @grandmanerd, and congratulations on the big birthday!  So pleased you are now eligible for the SP, I was able to claim mine last year and it sure makes a difference, and will do so even more in April, thanks to the triple lock!  Never thought I'd be grateful to the current government for anything but they'll still never get a vote from me  xx

Thank you @apple_muncher for a just perfect January thread, the first I have actually participated in .... and it's been a joy!  The turtles are such a kind and loving gang and it's been wonderful to swim along with you all for the past month.  Looking forward to @grandmanerd's February challenge!
