Nst october

Hi all:j

Ended up going out today so not an nsd, nor will be tomorrow as a shopping day before stint in CS. So still on 12/15 at least till Wednesday.

Lunch was from stores but supper was a bought ys traybake with added veg, so was really nice & can be replicated again, at a cheaper price.

More clearing done & sunroom measured for floor sanding, now to find a workman....tried Wh*ch trusted traders & it gave me a contact on the south coast.....hmm

DH did a tip run & dropped me off to get some shopping whilst he did so. Took advantage of some vouchers to buy from Wil*o so a few things for repairs etc. that were needed.

Gratitudes: DD out all day with a friend, seeing autumn colours on the drive, getting rid of more junk, happy evening.

Today it was much easier to get out of bed at 6am. All kids to school on time (yay!), apple crumble made last night will do pudding after supper tonight. No idea about supper tonight, it could be many things......

Top 2 floors cleaned and tidied, half of the ground floor cleaned and tidied, will push the hoover round tomorrow. Got a big, square, deep, pyrex baking dish in a c/s for £1.50, book 4 in a series of 5 (how I managed to buy 1,2,3 and 5 I do not understand) as well. So I can read and release all of those this week. Hope the heroine sorts herself out, or gets killed - she is a muppet . I am annoyed with her. I need to finish this series so I can be rid of her.

A pair of jeans for DS3 for £1.50, 4 large red plates for £1.50 I thought I could use for serving C word things, and a light up spooky house that will do both Hallowe'en and C-word for £1, £2 on candles, £1.50 on a 'trivial' board game, and a mug that says muppet on it. So £10.50 spent and a very enjoyable just over 2 1/2 hours spent wandering around in the sunshine.

I should be cleaning the kitchen right now, but s0d it. I can do that while the supper is cooking. I am going to have a cup of tea before heading out again - dh has requested binbags - to round up a herd of kids.

Laundry on the line, drying at no cost.

Have a lovely holiday mothernerd
Only 3 more days CCL !! hang in there.

Grateful today for the leaves changing colour on the trees, for driving through beautiful misty country lanes with beautiful views, for dh doing the aforementioned driving as it was along narrow winding lanes, for getting a good shop done, for the morning mist burning off, for good books to read, for fresh water to drink.

Hi all :j

Still on 12/15 NSD as spend day today. Popped into SM before work to get basics as always.

Stint in CS, unbelievable amount of donations, never seen so much as all other volunteers commented. Usually when overwhelmed they are able to send donations to other shops, but no van today so it just kept on coming....

No visit from friend today as she is poorly, so helped DD with her food prep for the next 2 days, took up the rest of the afternoon.

No clearing done, but DD impressed with the look of the sunroom. Two weeks before we go away, so need to get focused.

Gratitudes: friends at work, DD doing her own meals in advance, bright but chilly day, soup.
