NST April 2024: April appreciation

f0xh0les

I have an interview this morning, so keep everything crossed for me - nothing  physically or mentally strenuous, if you can walk, open doors, and write numbers on a clipboard, you should get the job!  That being said......   anyway, it is a 2 week gig and would pay for the hall, stairs, 2 landings,  2 bedroom carpets, all underlay, and fitting,  so it would be really handy right now.  

Lost 2lbs after a 9 day standstill.  So keep on keeping on!  It works, it just sometimes takes longer than you want it to.  I wish 'Vanishing Cream' was real, not just in cartoons.

Asked DH last night which hospital this morning's MRI was in, got the sigh, the eye-roll, and the ' I do know what I am doing, you know??'  anyway, he rang at 8.30 to tell me he was at the wrong hospital.  

There certainly is an 'f' in idiot.   He has been rescheduled for Sunday. Lucky boy.  Academically brilliant, it is just the rest of the normal life stuff he is questionable at, mind you he did put the blind up on the velux yesterday.  We each have our strengths I suppose. 

Today will not be an NSD, I need frozen sausage rolls  for the kids lunchboxes for this week and next, I have had NSDs, they have just not been noted yet.

Today should be an NSD. Yesterday wasn't, as housemates asked me to pick up an avocado on the way home... I went to their usual f&v shop, came out EIGHT EUROS lighter for a single avocado and a custard apple. There was me counting out my change like a wally..... this is a "nicer" part of town but seriouslyl!!

Yesterday nothing of note happened so I didn't bother posting! An incredibly boring day!

Today I am going with OH after work to a casual dinner for his dad's birthday so will be a spend day. I also had to pay for some medication for my bunny and sent £10 to my savings. I ordered two new pairs of pyjamas as the elastic on some of mine has gone and they fall down any time I walk!

Interview went very well. I think I have the job, they said I just need to wait on the paperwork and to send them a photo for my pass.  Hooray! I think I could handle 3 or 4 short contract but regular part time jobs until I decide what I want to be when I grow up 🤣🤣.

Today I am grateful for bumping into some gym buddies at the gym, for having time in today's toing and froing to get a load of laundry washed and hung on the airer, for having such a good natured teenager, for dh going and collecting the car as pip and I had to travel home a different route and didn't go past where I'd left it!

@Starlight_at_Sea DM sent 😊

The day started out great. Yoga, Norwegian, then made my dinner for the next 3 days. A good day at work, saw a hare running in a field, & another pheasant (not peasant 😂).

Went for a walk afterwards with work bestie, called in at the Coop to get something for mum with my voucher off, then at 4sda in the village for diesel.

Just me & DH for tea, which was nice. Got 2 seeing jobs done, then unpicked a zip ready to replace it in a coat, when DS1 appeared, saying he needed me to take him to A&E. He'd cut his hand quite badly at the beach, when he was whittling firewood. Somehow managed to get 1.5 miles back to his car, & drive home one handed! So he's now glued back together & told to stay off work for a week.  Packed my sewing machine away when I got home & ate some of DS3's leftover sweets from the cinema. Not eaten healthily again... Oh well!

Grateful for animals in nature, tiny lambs in s field, DS not causing a more damaging injury to himself & driving home safely, the NHS

@Thrifty_Taylor. So glad that your DS is glued back together.  You must have got a bit of a fright!  Xx

That must have been a shock, ThriftyT. Hope he heals up quickly.

Thanks for all your crossed fingers, I have got the job! I am going to be a productive member of society for 9 days.  Then normal service will resume.... probably 🤔.... 🧐.
Grateful for free 🍌 🍌 and 🍊 🍊 and 🍇🍇, not free antihistamines, and  being able to help a lot of people today.
@Thrifty_Taylor will DS1 ever play the accordion again ?  🪗 🪗   Poor thing.

@Thrifty_Taylor fair play to your DS for making it back home!

Yesterday evening was a small spend as planned at dinner, had fun and a good laugh.

Today I've worked from home. Got up and decided to get cracking nice and early so that I could log off early. Got everything done that needed doing, and I'm not working tomorrow so the weekend starts here!

Did a big water change on my aquarium, hoovered, took the bins out and then went to the gym for a bit. No spends either, and my new pyjamas arrived so hopefully no more waddling around trying to stop them falling down
