Ok, I've just gone back in and sent another £2 over after my normal pad this morning 😂

DH has saved the PAD month today - he won some money on the lottery so gave me £60 to send to the mortgage 😊
I got up this morning with a nice list of stuff I need to be getting on with, but then thought sod it, and went to the seaside again. It was lovely and sunny and a more pleasant day than last week! I then popped to do a bit of shopping and home for lunch. Tidied round this afternoon. It's been lovely to be able to do all the bedding and get it out on the line over the last couple of days.
I've finished sorting my tops today so took two bags to school. I've ordered myself a couple from Vinted so that I could get rid of more of the too big ones. It's such a pain trying to buy stuff since they changed the sizing - people don't update their listings, so half the things I look at are sized wrong. I won't buy anything now unless it shows a photo of the size on the label.
We're off seeing family this weekend again. It feels like ages since we've had a weekend at home, and I haven't achieved anything for ages. It hasn't helped that work has been full on so when I am at home I just vegetate.
We've signed up for the 100 miles in April walk, and I've made a donation to little miss to get her off the blocks. Hopefully we'll get more of this nice sunny weather to make it more pleasant!
I won a water butt in a local competition, so we'll be collecting that tomorrow. It will be a nice addition to our existing ones. I need to get back out in the garden. I'm looking forward to when it's warm enough to have all the doors open again. It was warm enough for a bit the other day.
I want to ramp up the decluttering again. It feels like nothing is really moving at the moment, and it all seems to be much more visible in the sun!

Sssh but I would have paid it off the loan.
