Apple muncher's number crunching

Another day of 15+K steps.

Another governor meeting out of the way.

I now have popping corn and a dvd for dd's Cmas eve hamper.

Didn't talk to dd about the ballet as once home from school it was get changed/ do mathletics/ do a spelling/ have a snack/ go to cheerleading.

Thinking ahead to October + challenges to go for... I may return to one where I put £1 in a pot for every exercise session, NSD, 7 veg, 15k steps, not taking the bus, no sugar or grains ...

Our rubbish output is massive this month. We sometimes fill 1 bin bag every fortmight. So far, we have filled three! Eek! So glad we are not charged prr weight/volume...

Today:
- school run :T
- aldee :T
- plant those hyacinths
- print out work stuff
- bunnies :T
- tidy that table :Tish
- clean bathroom, sinks, cooker (yuk) :T yuk indeed!
- colours wash :T
- change bedding :T
- wash floors?

Not bad.

Took myself out and about today. Did the aldee shop after the cheerleading drop and it was so lovely and quiet in there! Walked both ways. Looking at the receipt, 2 of the (very yummy) bars of chocolate cost the same as 12 large egg, or a pack of turkey or beef mince. An eye-opening realisation...

Home, unpacked and hung the washing out. Then made a double coffee and went out again to visit some charity shops. Here comes the inventory...

1 ball of multicoloured wool, mainly pinkish (50p)
6 books for dd - all 10p each (am thinking of doing a 24 book advent thingy)
1 knitting book for me (also 10p) and 3 crafty magazines (20p each)
11 items of doll clothing at 10p each
a dark pink sheet for dd's bed £1
a make-up brush set for dd's friend + a manicure set for dd (£2.70) as presents
a pair of plimsoles and a pair of doodles for dd to grow into (£2)
a lovely pad of handmade paper made using cloth (£1.50)
7 thick pieces of red and green felt (60p)
an owl t-shirt for dd and 2 babygrows to cut up for bunnies (3 for £1)
some bratz bits (50p)
some more dolly clothing (£1)

I think that's it! All for under £13. Taking my own coffee kind of cancelled out the 2 bus journeys, but I also walked instead of getting 2 more buses...

I've also wonderwebbed some black trousers for work and cut out bits for 4 more bunnies.

Called my mum, who is totally on my side. Aren't mum's brilliant! Yes, it will cost us a few pennies, but I needed to do it when no-one was in.

Have also washed up and then made more cashew/cream/cream cheese fat bombs, thus creating more washing up... Oops.

Rugby is on - yay! Scotland currently leading 6-0. Dd and I are off to the circus later - soooo excited! It is lovely to do things, just her and me.

gally - are you tootling around in the car instead of walking...? Just been on lunch duty so have added another 1k to today - only up to 6+k though... After next week the totals will drop as I'll be working more days.

MeandO - oooh, what a lovely offer! Yes please! Will pm you.
