Starting savings again

nikki2002-2008

Another NSD for me still fighting this bug honestly wish it would just go keeps coming and going I either feeling boiling hoy or freezing cold, 

£22 gone into my Penny saving challenge today as the jeans refund came through. 

Done nothing today much, Made 15 lots of my chicken pesto and froze them ready for risottos. Made my lasagne and really enjoyed it I have froze 2 portions and have another for tomorrow. I had babyleaf salad with it and I have enough for tomorrow of that too but I don't think there is enough for another meal as I had hoped. I do have sweet potatoes so think I will have them with the pizza.

Back to work tomorrow hoping to have enough energy for that. I do a high energy job so currently being a bit of a struggle at the moment. I have applied for another position in my company hopefully I will get it. It isn't a step up more of a side step same wages but less energetic. I have applied for other positions in the past but didn't get them as I was too new in the company I think but we will see this time. 

Right off for a shower and bed to get a good nights sleep/

Another NSD getting good at these, A finally the bug is almost gone feeling so much better lets hope it doesn't come back again honestly sick of saying I am feeling better to get hit again. 

 Managed a full shift at work and ignored the call outs for early finish. Was told I am getting an interview for the job but there are a lot of people going for it so will see if I get it not getting my hopes up/ I have done a very similar job in the past so all I can do is draw on that experience. 

Nothing really happened today just had my lasagne and salad, lasagne always tastes better the day after. Just bits of housework to do then off to bed to read my book.

I bought some fruit and vegetables yesterday so not a NSD I was so busy made some soup for lunches and had a good tidy up to catch up with housework. It’s just me and sometimes I wonder how I end up messy but I am going to be kind to myself as I haven’t been well. Paid £80 towards my gas and electric. 

Today will be a NSD just got work and hopefully it won’t be as busy as yesterday it was honestly mayhem. Still no news on the job front just waiting to see if I’ll get it. Off to make some late breakfast and chill before work.

Finally back took some time to sort out my house and spend time with friends. I am now back on my feet and better than ever finally. My illness took a toll on my MH as I have bipolar and took a big dip for a few days. I have just been working and trying to get back on top of my home life.

The only money I have spent it petrol so £15 in my car and other than that been really good with NSD's.

Late with my menu this week but the rest of the week@

Wednesday Haddock goujons, wedges and peas
Thursday Chicken pesto risotto with broccoli
Friday same as Thursday
Saturday Chicken curry and rice
Sunday same as Saturday

 Work is going well a bit less busy now and today is my day off I have Tuesdays and Wednesdays off as my weekend. Still no news on the job they haven't sent me an interview date although I have been told I am going to be offered one. Off to relax and watch a new series for a bit.

Work was so quiet today but I finally got an invite to the interview for the job I want it’s a week on Monday so fingers crossed it goes well. There are a lot of people being interviewed so not sure of my chances but I will give it my best shot.

 NSD today and finally my sinuses are feeling better still got a cough but I can cope with that. My energy levels are back to normal and I have finally done some of my cross stitch. I’m making a mandala giraffe for my daughters room I am going to do a small section each day. I find it relaxing so definitely good for my MH. Well that’s about it for today.

So busy at work so it flew by. Going to sort out my envelopes tomorrow got some left over money in some of them.

Bought some fleece leggings for work as it’s so cold at the moment hopefully they will keep me a bit warmer at work. They cost £1 less than the jeans refund so that was good and get 5 pairs so I can just wash them once a week. I also found out today I get extra on my tax amount as I wash my uniform for work so it’s added £60 to my tax amount which pays for my laundry stuff for the year. It took 5 minutes to fill in the form.

Making a crumble for the next few days need some comfort food. That’s it for today.
