Glad you had a lovely day. Great to be able to buy clothes from the supermarket.

Thank you 😊 It's great, it will be nice to have more choice, and cheaper too!

Little miss was up sick in the night so I have all her bedding to do today. She seems fine so whether it was too much junk yesterday or coughing I'm not sure.
DH is planning on doing a boot sale today which is good news, I'm not planning on going as I fancy a day at home. I might pop to get some fruit later. I also am contemplating some new trainers for our April challenge, as mine are probably not suitable for longer walks. I don't want to damage my knee further. That will probably be a visit into town.

Slightly larger PAD today from my £2 car boot riches from yesterday 😂 Though to be fair I didn't think I had anything out there so it's more than I expected.
DH did sell, and although it wasn't very big (it was a new one to him), he got rid of a couple of bulkier bits so although we didn't make huge amounts, it was worthwhile going.
I just spent the day alternating pottering around at home and sitting in the sun with a book. My watch told me I'd done my 9 hours stand target by 10am yesterday morning, so that shows how well I slept the night before!
I'm in the office today, so will take packed lunch. I didn't go and get fruit yesterday so I might do that on the way home.

DH has sold an item so that has been packed and posted.
I actually have a meeting-free day today at the moment, so hopefully can crack on. I might take a longer lunch break to catch up with some stuff around the house, but will see how I get on. I need to go into the office for a meeting on Thursday which is a bit annoying, especially as I have to pick up little miss for a video appointment with the ADHD team at lunchtime and then I'll have to drop her back to school. I can see a lot of running around on Thursday! It will be useful then if I can get ahead today.
I have prepped my breakfast and lunch to keep me on track.
