Little miss loved her day out yesterday. I'm so pleased for her. She's currently deciding if she's doing park run today.
I saved around £10 on items yesterday at Mr M so that was worth it - it was stuff I would have been buying later in the week anyway.
Other than that, not a lot planned today. A new recipe to try later, and I need to plan my lunches for the week.

Thank you all 😍 It's lovely to see her spark back again.
She didn't want to do Parkrun in the end, so a break from that this week. I've done a bit out in the garden, prepped some food for next week, helped DH with some pension stuff, unblockd the toilet 😡and not a huge amount else!
I did have to pop to the shops again, so must make sure to meal plan properly before doing my shopping this week.

Gardening, food prepping, doing pension things, and unblocking the loo sounds plenty to me, especially on a Sunday!

Great news about Little Miss doing so well after recent events. I bet that’s a weight off your mind. Long may it continue.
I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping) -.literally have been run over by a bike, mobility scooter and a car - still here 💪3 -
Thank you 😁
I really hope it continues, thank you 😊
