Should itsthelittlethings spend less on coffee?

Got a nasty shock when I checked my bank balance today. I looked at the positive balance and forgot include my overdraft and thought I wouldn’t be able to cover my priority bills this month. Luckily it all turned out ok.

I just had pearl barley, roast broccoli, feta and aubergine salad for dinner. It was nice. I’m doing quite well at cooking nice food this month.

I really want to go on a 3 day course to do visible mending. I feel really calm and peaceful when I am darning and mending. I have racked my brains for how to get the money but I’m not sure it’s possible. You can’t have all the nice things in life.

I should crack on with the decluttering this evening.

do you really need to go on the course when you enjoy this anyway? What benefit will the course bring you?
How is the decluttering going?

I might do another SOA.

The decluttering is ok. Now I’m just stressed that my flat is going to fill up again. I feel like my clutter is a representation of how crap I am at basic life skills which is silly. I don’t need to go on the course. I just need it to warm up a tiny bit so I can start lake swimming again. That’s as good as a holiday.

There are so many free videos on visible mending you can practice without the need for a course. You can do the things that relax you and make you feel good without having to spend money.

I’ve sorted out my paperwork this morning. I got rid of anything over 3 years old except contracts for ongoing things, pensions and welcome stuff from when I moved into my flat.

I need to vacuum, run the washing machine and pop out to buy vitamin D this morning. Then I’ll make macaroni cheese this afternoon. I need to darn some work trousers. I’m currently procrastinating from finding a needle.

Bother. Wrong diary. My new diary is at “Everything Changes”.
