Can I join please @apple_muncher?

Love this challenge!

Starting as I mean to carry on with NSD #1 and a good long dog walk as it is a lovely sunny, if chilly day.

Lots of household stuff done too, main bedroom, main bathroom, sorted out a cupboard, made cakes and a crumble, load of washing now out on the line to dry, washed and reproofed a coat, did a new freezer contents audit and turned off the small 'overflow' freezer (as I managed to fit it all into the big one ok). That will save a bit of electricity! Savings are much needed as the water bill arrived yesterday, and there is a huge increase from last year

Now sitting with a coffee. Dinner  to cook later, but other than that and washing up, I am done for the day I think.

Although if the small freezer has defrosted later I will wipe it out. Oh and the washing will need to come in

Good evening! 

Happy 01st March one and all. Please sign me up too please Apple

Loving the Scoobie theme. I'd love to say I was Daphne <glam!> but I think I'm more Velma! The number of times I say 'where did I put my glasses' in a week is ridiculous... to the point friends are threatening to buy me a string to put them on haha 🖐🏻🕶

Today I am grateful for:

1) A lovely catch-up with my cousin
2) Pizza and garlic bread
3) My lovely little home. A bit more Feng Shui done today!

Today = spend day

Catch you all tomorrow x

Jinkies, it's March already!

Stayed at mum's last night. Slept funny & have an extremely painful bit in my left shoulder. Not a good start to the day.

Dropped sewing off (2 bags, picked up 6), pinned a lady into a posh frock (down a road I'd never been down in the 39 years I've lived here!), then did my big monthly shop with my 10% off at L1DL. Nipped to Tosco afterwards. DS3's GF's cousin was working on the till, & he told me what a great & genuine chap DS is. Proud mum moment!

Took mum home, then headed back to our house. Lots of trips to carry the shopping in, but it's all packed away now 😊 a friend dropped a surprise spring gift off. A gorgeous smelling citrus soap & some Moomin erasers 😀

Paid into sinking funds & balanced last month's expenditures. Have saved enough to pay £1K back to a loan from mum (borrowed 13 years ago. Started saving to repay Jan '24).

Watched some things off the box & finished the green gonk.

Grateful for DS1 giving me access to his SuperDuolingo for 3 days, stocked cupboards, compliments about DS3, surprise present & watching Mr Blackbird hopping about first thing

The sun is shining down here. Remember to get outside every day if you can (grandmanerd and f0xh0les with their factor 7 billion on !)

I might be only able to sit out in the yard and once more all my chairs have gone. They were only the old ones from mum's so I'm not heartbroken - mine are still at grandma's house (it's months since I asked my brother to drop them off at my house). I do want to try getting out in the yard as I have lots of digging (putting in smaller pots to move across the yard - I think all the larger heavy cobbles should go in the skip (the men who dug the drains pulled  out some smaller ones which I will keep unless I decide I need to rebuild the small bed wall a different way. Definitely need to dig out one of the 50 l pots as it has a jagged broken rim.

I have a list of jobs (so I don't forget) and will work out which I might be able to do. If I have to top up my phone (£3 and a bit left - not enough for a 'being kept on hold' call), I'll do a couple of shopping bits on the need list.

Grateful for watching a declutter of a very messy bedroom (light relief), baby wipes for me (still not able to get upstairs),cutting down the emails.
