overpayment goal
this month's overpayment already budgeted for - will set that up in the online banking for tomorrow - 294 for Jan
going to do the ynab shuffle and see if anything can be swept into the march payment - 100 swept into March payment
4 pounds saved on sandwich meat as freezer dive revealed we had sliced turkey ham already in house
107.48/294 with 183.04 to go
movement goal
am very tired today and even f!tb!t says I should be taking a rest day! so minimal movement planned
also pleased to see half of the xmas weight gain has shifted after only a week of 'normality' - it was not the goal when trying to re-implement good movement habits, but a nice side effect
This morning started off with a power tidy of the house, attempting to put out all the recycling (a success) and the rubbish (not a success). The lid on the rubbish bin was frozen shut with a layer of ice so will have to wait and try again at mid-day break. This week's grocery shop arrived bright and early, as OH is currently not able to take this on during a day I'm in the office. He managed to tackle the eggs into the basket and made us coffees and breakfasts while I put everything away. So nice start to the day with a new-to-us rythmn found.
Then on to a slowish start to the working day - bosslady is off for the day so I was able to have a no-stress morning - hooray! - a good pace for me atm - rest of the day will be pomodoros - little bites of work with little breaks of movement/chores.
ETA - upper management sent out the e-mail letter to all staff about redundancies today - it was harsh - I'm glad I'm not in the office to hear the annoyance it will have caused.4 YEARS 10 MONTHS DEBT FREE!!!
