NSD 8/15 for me today

Just finished a very long shift at work so off to bed. Night all

lcc86 · 17 November 2018 at 11:40PM

Evening all

No NSD here, but only a very small spend so not the end of the world. Managed some studying this morning, then went to the gym, then back home for more studying. Also cooked a veggie Thai curry for me and a chicken one for OH in the slow cooker.

We went to ikea this evening to test mattresses, found one we both like, but can't agree on a bed. OH doesn't like anything I like :rotfl: I'm getting desperate though in terms of back pain and lack of sleep so if he doesn't make his mind up soon I'll just end up ordering it myself! Bought a scented candle too, £1.75 spent.

Raphael-- glad you feel a bit better.

Today is NSD #12 for me.

Not feeling very clever , was sick last night & I am currently trying to decide if eating something will help or hinder.
Just looked at budgets, hub being sent away has scuppered our plans for our anniversary meal & means bringing it forward. The money for the actual meal doesn't matter, I can put it on my credit card & just pay it back on pay day as its budgeted for next month. However I've had to find the cash for the sitter, so, we didn't have our pre planned take away at Beamish, and instead I took a picnic. left in the budget is £47 which will do one last shop thursday this week

Beamish had its own suprised as my 3YO announced to Santa he was getting something I'd never even heard of :rotfl:& when we looked online they were £60 :eek: Anyway I ordered one but I've now put a load of stuff away that I had planned to give him at xmas for his bday so thats that sorted now too. The amount he was going to be getting was riduculous!! My brother has also got them some Pjs & I have too so again they'll go away for his bday (the ones off me). Thank God we save for this all year!!

Hope you all have a fab Sunday

apple - DD had two pairs of M&S school shoes, they were the leather brogue ones and they lasted brilliantly well, the leather softened up quickly and the soles lasted the whole year (would have re-soled if necessary), DS also has their school shoes. DD is in docs now and I will never need to buy her another pair of school shoes, they are almost indestructable.

No money spent yesterday except on my replacement phone. Had a long walk with the dog, collected the phone and called at the library.

Hi all

Sorry I haven’t been here, my new role started and I have not coped well. My mental health has plumitted and my debt and waist line have risen &#55357;&#56862; This was exactly what I feared would happen and why I didn’t want the role but apparently my opinion didn’t count and I was rail roaded into this role.

However, I am now starting to see the light, I am taking more time for me and focusing on the part of the job I love, the teaching.

I’ll be watching for the rest of the month and might try to join next month. I am spending too much but at this time of year and with the way I feel at the moment, getting out and meeting friends is essential and forces me to nit work &#55357;&#56842;

I haven’t got time to read back but hope you’ve all had a good month so far.

NSDs still on 8.

ORGANISE - Going to plan my classes for the upcoming week today.

VALUES Bites of elephant: Mon- Thurs was very good with spanish but had a lot of work to do on Friday and didn't manage. Also got rather drunk on friday night and missed my language exchange on Sat. Not happy with myself.

ENJOY Had a lovely lie in this morning though.

BUDGETS went €5 over budget this weekend but had a good time. Clearly. haha

EXERCISE None this weekend.

RULES - doing ok.

NO takeaways etc - None today.

EVERYONE - Have been paid and waiting to pay off some debt but need to wait for my dentist quote tomorrow before I can do that. May not be able to wait, really want to pay something off today. This payday was a big one as I've been working so much and really want to pay off my overdraft and a large portion of my interest owing balance of my CC. Soon I will have an extra 8 hours on Friday which is going to make a huge difference but I am going to be working harder than ever.

YOU should cook from scratch. Will make a huge batch of veggie chili today for dinners next week.

REPORT Trying to do better with that!

KINDNESS Helped housemate dealing with some spanish bureaucracy

Have a wonderful sunday turtles

X_raphael_xx - glad you have talked with bf and come to a decision. Well done you. And well done on the weight loss, fat loss and muscle gain. Impressive!

Dolly - re-soling hadn't crossed my mind - thank you! I hope these ones last...

Fmess - hellooooo! I was wondering what had happened to you. Very good to hear from you and that you are prioritising yourself. Take care and keep on going out.

Shrewbie -suerte! with spanish burocracy...!

Grateful today for my wooly hat, for companionable knitting with dd, for rugby, for Poirot, for my version of the bacon + sprout soup mentioned on here (but using chorizoand cabbage instead)being rather yummy, for dh's back improving, for encouraging friends, for dh being a most consistent and effective washer-upper, for dd's unstoppable climbing effervescence.

Still plowing through the paperwork:eek: shaped elephant.
NST will aim for 15. 9/15 another one today but not yesterday

ORGANISE your time. Will try and find a balance between studying,household chores, family time and me time.Spent time at the in laws this morning, had a really nice cooked breakfast. Mr senior cross rabbit does fantastic mushrooms and fried pots, but his eggs are a little to runny, but beggars can;t be choosers as they say. Lovely to see them and had chance to catch up on family news. Studying going well, learnt how to do spreed sheets today. Housework -:rotfl: me time also not happening today

VALUES. Ultimate goal is to continue to OP the mortgage but to keep in mind ethical, environmental and family values.DH on board with OP well and truly given me some money his mum had given him to cover lunch yesterday and told me to put it towards OP:T,. However will just but into our account as he did pay for lunch originally, but its the thought behind his offer that counts

ENJOY yourself. Try and do something everyday that I enjoy. Enjoying strictly results show even though I know who is leaving.

MAKE an inventory of the food in your cupboards, fridge and freezer at the start of the month. Meal plan and shop from the cupboards, freezers and allotments first before visiting supermarkets. Meal plan done and shopping done yesterday, shopping is taking slightly longer than normal as having to check ingredients for palm oil:mad:

BUDGETS should be set before the start of the month. Already done will log spends on here and look at, at the end of the month.Will aim to buy something for the food bank every week.

EXERCISE will aim to walk for an hour everyday with the dog.Dog walked but didn't litter pick as went out early as couldn't sleep and didn't want to be banging around looking for my glasses (couldn't remember where I'd left them:rotfl:). So couldn't see to pick anything up at least I didn't fall over or bump into anything.

IN case of emergency Add any items you might need (torch, shovel for snow, old carpet for traction, extra coat or blanket) to your car boot. If you don't belong to a breakdown organisation, make sure you have phone numbers for friends or relatives who might come and help you. Make sure you and your children can be seen if walking or cycling. still need to sort the cars. think snow will have to fall before this gets done, have put old carpet into the car so getting there

NOW is always the right time to start.will aim to have more faith in myself.:j'I can do maths' needs to become my mantra this week:j

NO takeaways, coffee shops, vending machines, canteens unless for a special event. Take your own food and drinks to work, hospital appointments and days out where possible. None bought today

EVERYONE should know their debt free date continuing to pay bank of mum (Nov 2019) and OP the mortgage (another 17 and half years). TT done but can't remember how much, alot has happened since this morning. Filled in a form on line for a independent mortgage adviser via the coop website, they are going to be in touch tomorrow. Fingers crossed

WINTER proof your home, if you haven't already done so. Need to hang new thicker curtains in dining room- still on the list. First priority on the list for when OU goes in on Thursday

YOU should cook from scratch when you can (unless time is short or it costs more to make) and batch cook.Will aim to do this at least 5 days out of 7.1/7 leftover wine and soup
OUTSIDE It may be cold but wrap up warm and make the most of the available light - it will help your immune system and your mental health see exercise

REPORT i'm here

KINDNESS costs nothing. Everyone you meet is carrying some sort of burden, so try to be kind, especially to yourself.
