Bonfires and fireworks - NST November challenge

Day 12
Managed a NSD today 5/20.
No exercise or healthy eating today.
Christmas - brought home the box of biscuits my Mum was given which can be used for Christmas. Saves me buying a box.
Mental health - still need to try and get a good night sleep.
Grateful for:
My brother and sister in law coming down from Somerset to see my Mum.
My nephews making get well cards for my Mum.
Finally getting the v shaped pillow from M&S for my Mum and £20 voucher for goodwill.

Hi guys
6/18NSDs bought my fresh bits today but forgot to get milk so it will be toast tomorrow & pancakes (from freezer) Tuesday. We only have milk for cereal and making cheese sauce so its not a big problem.

Organize - I have gone through the majority of my clothes today as there is a shop that pays for clothes, I am going to take the stuff although I do feel bad as normally I would take it to the charity shop. There are so many charity shops around and I do buy and give a lot but I have decided I need to start getting some money in for us and for the time being I will accept I will not be donating for a while.

Value for money - can't think of anything today.

Exercise - none, still struggling with a chest infection so most things are a task

Mental health - fed up to be honest, pre menstrual to boot.

Be Christmas ready - on going

Eat well - we had chicken casserole in the slow cooker and potatoes and veggies out of the microwave, hopefully will have the hob fitted soon.


Thankful for - everything I have, I could always have more but could also have less.

Hi all turtles :j

Checking in: 12/30

NSDs: 6/15 still the same as had to go out to get paint etc for dining room walls

Organise: ATM looks much worse as all stuff from dining room distributed in other rooms. Also DHs plan to pack up all DDs stuff for her to take to her home is still not working. The result is we have all her stuff bagged/boxed up as well as our own :mad:

Value for money - Well hopefully I will get VFM - was looking at the paint in the BandQ locally. Never normally go there as the lighting is so bad. Looked at the value range but none of the colours were suitable (not planning on changing the wallpaper/curtains etc). Then looked at the V expensive range :eek: but light in aisles was so bad that I had to use my camera torch.....at this point an assistant came over & commented on the poor lighting (!) - but also told us that any of the expensive paints could be copied with complete accuracy. Took a large tester pot for £3, put it on this afternoon & if it looks OK in daylight DH will go & get a big tin first thing tomorrow...looks like I will spend my bday painting LOL

Exercise - Lots of walking (round shops) but that's all - ditto

Mental health - Yes pretty good

Be Christmas ready - Got a few more bits whilst out

Eat well - Not too bad...

Gratitudes - To the sales assistant for telling me about the cheaper alternative, for a warm bed tonight as its cooold, for all the pets being healthy, amusing & happy...for DH being much more willing to help.

Hi all

Just checking in.

Today will be NSD 6/16- aiming to get to 10 by sunday. Looking to keep out of the shops until friday except for YS.

Value- I am off to a free baby group later and then to tesco for YS bread tonight.

Christmas- made & froze some mince pies yday. Might make more later.

Healthy eating & excersize- running tonight & will watch my food.

Organise- on a mission to use things up, wrote out a list before & will try to use one thing per day from the list.

Budgets getting tighter now- 10 days til pay day but perfectly doable. Id like to put money back into savings at month end that I spent on c par. So I CANNOT go over budget . need to keep hub on a tight leash

Baby group was great fun and got free snacks AND charitys had donated a tonne of free bread etc. They use donations for snack and then let parents take leftovers. Was careful to only take after every one else had theirs as we dont NEED the bread. Going again. Will be sure to donate tea and coffee at some point. X
