Its a bit late for these, but I’ve been doing ok on the challenges I set myself.
Tumble drier wise, we’ve been lucky with the weather lately and although it does get used for finishing off nappies, it is no longer full with whole loads we are too lazy to put out on the airer. Lets hope this continues when the weather starts to fail.
Supermarket wise, its been so-so. I’m not going to be able to stop shopping at ASDA without planning to the tiniest detail (and possibly bankrupting us in the process). While my planning is currently vastly improved (and I am starting to adjust plans as I go along, to prevent wastage) it is not at the stage where I can predict just how many bananas Rowan will want to eat in one day, so there will be times I will need to top up. Its not every day or anywhere near it any more though, and it is almost always with a list. I intend to carry on the way we’re going at the moment, trying to get as much fruit and veg from Abel and Cole (or alternative box scheme) because I can get in-season (if not exactly local) and British produce as well as foreign stuff that I know hasn’t been air-freighted.
And now I can’t remember what my other challenges were, if there were any.
I have a few challenges for October.
The first is a work one, which is to get our company accounts off to the accountant before the end of the month. This involves a fair bit of boring reconciliation which I have got behind on because of the accountants and our accounting software but I should be able to make a start on it next week.
Number 2 is to try to up my gym attendance to twice a week. I am pretty good at going on a Tuesday morning when Rowan is at nursery, but I need to try to find a way of fitting another session in. This won’t be easy with the amount that David is going to be away until Xmas.
The last one is to get a move on with my Xmas pressies. I need to find some good wool for the next one but the first half of the first present is almost done. My goal is to have 2 completed hat and scarf sets done by the end of the month.
Lets see how I manage with these!
