I didn't get everything done that I planned yesterday but I got enough done, including two loads of washing to dry inside, a tidied cupboard and that loaf. It started off beautifully sunny but I started feeling cold and, sure enough, when I looked pout, it had started raining and it was pretty wet all afternoon.
I think the same might be happening today as it's clouding over now.

What I didn't do was that paperwork and I really need to stop procrastinating and get it done. It won't be this morning as there's stuff to do but maybe after lunch.
So, today, I woke nice and early, bathed and dressed and set off to Sainsbury's. There were two reasons for this - two of the items I wanted I only seem to be able to get in Sainsbury's (although, annoyingly, they didn't have one of them in today) and also I needed to fill up with petrol and they are almost always cheapest in town!
Early morning shopping is good - very quiet, pretty empty and no need to queue at a checkout (I don't really like the self checkouts). Now, I am stocked up with fresh stuff for at least the week, I got enough of the cleaning products I needed to last me the month, I think, and the only toiletries I needed was a new toothbrush. It still cost an arm and a leg but only one of each, not both! And the car is sorted for the month too, barring unexpected journeys.
I enjoyed the Shimmy Snippet, a live fifteen minute energise session. You may smile but it really does energise. You'd think it would be the opposite but I'm feeling well worked out and ready to go.
I now need to go and sort out the shopping, have breakfast and another coffee and do a bit of ironing before I go off for circuits.
This afternoon, it's that report - maybe. No, definitely (I tell myself sternly).
This evening I will catch up on Pottery Throw Down plus other recordings from Christmas/New Year I haven't watched yet.
So that's what my day looks like. Have a good one, everyone, and stay warm and healthy! xx

I don't envy you the paperwork - be sure and give yourself a little treat when it's done!
ReplyDeleteSunny but cold here, back to high winds and rain tomorrow - ho hum -
Alison in Wales x
Nor do I - I keep putting it off.
DeleteBack to the ironing! :-)
Good luck with tomorrow's weather. xx
We really miss cheap supermarket petrol prices, none of our supermarkets are big enough to have petrol stations so we have to buy from the local independents. We are always shocked when we see the price difference when we go past one on a rare non-motorway long journey. (And the prices on the motorways are enough to make your eyes water!!)
ReplyDeleteNow, go and do your paperwork ... you'll feel great after it's all done!!
Motorway prices are just evil - I know the companies must pay a lot for a prime site but even so, there's no need for that sort of mark up. 20p more per gallon is just extortionate!
DeleteIt's a shame you have no cheaper petrol nearby though.

I'm with you on the 15 minute exercise sessions. I try to do that with my PT 'homework' and they really do make a difference.
ReplyDeleteIt's cold but sunny here but no wind thankfully as they arrived to fit my replacement garage door this morning, so that's all done and finished with now ... on to the next thing on the list! xx
You have waited for a very long time to have your garage door repaired. I'm glad it is finally sorted. xx
DeleteI like to go grocery shopping first thing, I hate the crowds........
ReplyDeleteI don't mind a certain amount of crowd but I dislike having to queue for very long to pay - and I dislike the self service checkouts too! Goodness, what a grouchy old thing I am!!!
DeleteAnd going early gets it done for the day too.
xx
I also like to head out first thing in the morning to grocery shop. Too many people are out later in the day for me to feel comfortable.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Yes, and, assuming they restock overnight, there are fewer gaps on the shelves too. xx
DeleteGlad you managed to get out early and do the shopping. I always try to go early. Less people.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely. And, daft as it might sounds, I find that early shoppers seem very cheerful too - maybe because they are getting it done nice and early!!
