Still only on 1/15 NSDs

Ran out of laundry powder with a lot of muddy school trousers to be washed, so pretty necessary. Ended up doing 4 load today. Spent under £10 in Ald1

Exercise -Moved a lot of furniture - shunted a tumble dryer into the kitchen through three rooms- moved all the furniture back. Job done. Perversely I ache more now, sitting on the sofa, than I do after a session at the gym.

Be kind - fixed a photo frame of DS2s after he broke it having a tantrum.Did not read him the riot act. remained calm and told him he was being silly and when he was willing to act his age he could come and find me and talk about whatever it was he was protesting about. Tantrums are soooooooo boring.

More little annoying no spend jobs done, and a lot of stuff sorted for the CS pile. Broken storage boxes binned, Half empty storage boxes added to other half empty storage boxes. Put DHs camping stuff away. He has been back for 3 weeks and only emptied his car into the back room yesterday. All put away for him.
(Also being kind, and not resentful - well, trying not to be resentful) Anyway I am glad it is all out of sight, and I know where it all is, and I am not falling over it every time I go into the kitchen. Yay!

More tomorrow, onwards!!

apple I love your gratitude list but deny all responsibility for your knickers falling down.

DawnW well done on ebaying and surveys. Yes carrying boxes is exercise.

fruitloop04 so glad your sister is getting better.

misstara 21,000 steps, wow.

ilovetea thanks for the kind words. It only sounds like a lot because I have to keep concentrating on what I have done instead of the things that still need to be tackled.

sashanut children will get to your vulnerable points every time.

Bizzie one of our cat's could open the door by stretching and pulling the handle down.

laurenh1 glad you are enjoying turtle life.

Purplebonnie impressive total for extra income.

Chasing Sunshine good luck with your move.

Quick post before bed time.
Posted every day.
5 NSD.
Eaten up all the leftovers from Sunday. Have some salad stuff and some jacket sized pots to use,so that's tomorrows meal sorted.
Managed to finish a knitted hedgehog I started before I went away,
I was given a "dimond embroidery" kit. Nothing to do with diamonds and not embroidery! It's placing little gems on fabric.So relaxing.
Will need some shopping soon but nothing urgent so making a list.Tissues and batteries at the moment.Allexciting stuff :rotfl:

Hi all!

Got up very late today, did not set alarm as no need...whoops! Do find it hard to get going if I overlay...

NSD today:3/15

Organise: Managed to get down cellar, spent about an hour. Astonished to uncover a plastic box hidden under all the other crud, which contained yet more items...mainly vinegars etc but all will come in useful..took second set of shelves down, carried outside & brushed clean. Now need to paint the wall where they stand, then they can go back..

All meals HM & from stores, lunch lentil bacon & tom soup & pasties, supper spatchcock chicken, potato salad, sweetcorn, rice & peas & green beans. Apple turnovers, dh final piece of his birthday cake

Food budget: £137.44 /250

Be kind: tried my best although patience not my virtue, especially when found DH left a tissue in trousers pocket & white bits all over DDs uniform...grr

One more time: Still sticking to SW

Extra Income: none so far

Christmas: still socking along for Christmas

Exercise: Up and down cellar steps with shelves, lots of crud thrown into bin. Lovely sunny day so cut all back garden grass, quite the job this is.

Heating: still off

Grateful for: Lovely sunny day

Happy animals running around outside

progress on clearing

DH taking DD to Asda so I didn't have to, therefore spent no money..

Organise - Meal plan on schedule and using up food in fridge for lunches and dinner.
NSD another one under my belt
Stoptober - avoiding the snacks even the birthday chocolates someone bought into work
Exercise - making the most of the dry parts of the day and walking

Christmas - started to give some thought to it and picked up the M&S food catalogue to get some ideas re food
Extra Income - completed some surveys holding off cashing them in for as long as possible
Report - achieved every day so far

Morning all,

Woke up a hour before my alarm!

Yesterday was SFD number 3

12 hours at school again so that stopped me spending. Today should be relatively quick, 6 hours of meetings as it's inset and then should be able to come home

Yesterday I was grateful for, finding a discount voucher for a Christmas present, the virgin media getting reconnected, the tiler doing my new bathroom and my cleaner/dog walker - I don't know how I'd go to work without her.
