Wow, just caught up on the last 6 days worth of posts!
Well done on the new job @KajiKita. Pleased some things have been sorted for you now @ditty1234.
Cor @beanielou, you're in fire with your NSDs! Hope the tablets are helping you now & that you & @grandmanerd feel more human soon.
Thanks for this month's thread @Shrewbie.
I've ended on 13 NSDs, not as many as I'd hoped. Been another busy week, crazy busy at work, then lots of sewing at nights. DS1 & his GF surprised me & DH with advent calendars. Mine has crystals behind the doors, DH's has different seeds. They'd bought one for my mum too with metal puzzles in. I've not had a calendar for years!
Had Wool Club last night, so lots of knitting done & a good catch up was had. Stayed overnight at mum's.
Today was big monthly shop with my 10% off at L1DL. Managed to get some half price undercoat/primer from a shop that's closing down.
Tonight I've finished the quilled picture for my work besties birthday. Just got one to make for mum for Christmas now.
Grateful for my thoughtful boys, time with friends & my mum, using up things I have & getting presents made/ticked off my list
Use it up, wear it out
Make do or do without!
If you see someone without a smile, give them one of yours 😃

Thank you for No!vember Shrewbie. I'm still struggling with rock bottom energy levels but still plodding - rubbish going out, washing up being done (it's having to bale out the washing up bowl that's energy sapping and also making a mess on the floor when it splashes over). Things are getting done s l o w l y7

@grandmanerd you could be living my life at the moment! I've got quite a few things done over the month, but went for my Covid/flu booster midweek. The Covid jab always knocks me out though, thankfully only for a week or so now, rather than not being back to speed for the best part of a month!
@Shrewbie as many have said already, many thanks for No!vember.
I've got most of the stuff I aimed to do this month done, although I still need to deal with the internet and my mobile. I really hate doing that sort of thing but it must be done!
Think I'll potter over to December...A budget is like a speed sign - a LIMIT not a TARGET!!

Thank you @Shrewbie for November! Sorry I'm a bit late concluding the thread as I was visiting my friend in Stockholm over the weekend and came back Monday evening late, yesterday was in the office, and spent the remaining time catching up with work and chores!
Despite it being a busy month, I am quite satisfied in November. I said NO to a lot of possessions, selling / donating lots of items from my wardrobe (and a few shoes) and a chair with footrest over the weekend (while I was away, luckily OH was home to conclude the transaction). I also finally managed to finish most of the organising, definitely done with the new bedroom, and happy with the result, it has a nice and calm cozy vibe now, and managed to organise a few things in the living room too, although still a bit of work to be done there, which will have to wait until the new year now, because decorations are up and only cozy chilling is acceptable!
See you in the December thread!
