Got another NSD too which I've added to signature as I held off on buying naughty treats. Not doing too badly on these this month although could be better 🙈. 11/31 so far....

I bet there are many of us who randomly dream about running away from it all @Watty1 🤣🤣🙈

Got it dfw, sorry I thought it was an actual telling her the shortcomings not that they just come out naturally at the meeting.

Yes I knew you know all the ups and downs of moving, dont mean to be teaching egg sucking, but im glad there's been some focus on the issues in dps job, if yours eases off too I hope you find you don't feel the need to move and will have a better life work balance 😀

I long for the day I feel 'at home ' somewhere.... When I was small, I'd watch the littlest hobo on TV (anyone else used to love that as much as me?) and I would sob so loudly and deeply, like I felt his pain at having to continually move on 🙈🤣🤣 - we were always moving as kids so I empathised clearly lol....I don't seem to have broken the cycle as an adult 🙈 and in fact I like moving now...not the process of, that's too expensive and stressful these days, but the freshness of a new place.

I have been in my house 38 years. Obviously moving is not my thing!

I used to like the littlest hobo too but absolutely up for running away atm.

@beanielou I don't think that will ever happen to me unless I stayed put now and lived the rest of my days out here 😝🙈.

@redofromstart I think there's something in the air, my friend is also up for running away. Maybe we should hire a plane between us all 😉 where's hot and sunny and away from day to day dramas this time of the year?!

@ladybird1106 right now. I seriously need a holiday 🏖️🐚😴 or good sleep at least.

Busy, busy day. Achieved quite a bit though, including things for me and not just tick lists at work. I potted up some plants after work, collected DD and did a few small jobs around the house as well as ordering a takeaway for us for less than £30.😃 DP got given a voucher for having hand held newbie at his workplace for so long (and then eventually having a bit of a breakdown about it which prompted the voucher as appeasement I think 🙈), I had a voucher too that was sent to me so almost £30 off before we started so we had a feast for three of us less than £30 😊.

I've checked to make sure the wood delivery is coming tomorrow for cladding the garage...quite excited about this project as it will make the world of difference to what we have to look at from our sofa. The garden is looking neater every time I go out there. I'm unsure what to do with my wildflower patch 🤔 it looks like a lot of weed at the moment, I've spotted some foxgloves, something that looks like lambs ear but I never planted it 🤔 and it just looks a bit of a mess. I'm worried about overworking it though and ruining it as I know it can take a couple of years to properly establish having put them in before (and then ruining them by accident 🤣). And there are trees, shrubs and other plants in there.

Shorter day again tomorrow I've done my hours almost before I even start in the morning and have six hours planned and then I intend to come home. I'm not working over. I hate having to take back toil as I forget what I've had or not.

Pay slip has been checked and I've been paid a full wage again so I'll take that considering we've got a couple of jobs planned and be expecting the next one to be reduced.

DD seems super happy over the last week, ahhhh, young love eh 🥰. He wants to spend his 18th birthday with DD instead of his family...and I said perhaps he should spend it with them, but I think they're both so loved up at the moment there will be no talking them out of it. DD's suitors usually only last a month before she gets bored of them...this one appears to be going pretty strong which I'm surprised about but also happy for her 😊 I just kinda wish she'd got her revision and a level exams out the way first 🙈 DS1 did this with his GCSEs...he found girls right before them 🙈🤦🏻‍♀️.

Anyway, I'm off to chill before I relent to an early night.

Glad you have a shorter day tomorrow.
