Routine

It's Friday night (in case you didn't know) and the first week back at work is over.  I am tired but hey, who isn't?

I'm starting to get back into a routine which will, in future, include walking to and from work for my afternoon lesson.  I can't be doing with walking in the morning, I find it hard enough to get up when it's dark as it is (I generally get up between 6:45 and 7:15) and to have to get up an extra half hour early just to accommodate a walk to work - quel horreur!  But the afternoon I can manage.  I wanted to start this week but it has been so wet and so cold that I chickened out, so it'll be Monday.

On a brighter note I finally paid off my income tax debt today, so that's a weight off my shoulders and I can now start saving for the things I want/need.  It has been instructive though, as I now have a better understanding of just how little I can live on comfortably (not the caveat).  No excuses for not saving - I haven't missed it these last umpteen months so I won't miss it if it goes straight into a savings account.  I feel so grown up!

In other news I had some goods delivered today and when I say delivered I mean thrown over the back gate to sit in a puddle of water and get rained on.  Good news is that only the outer box got totally soggy, bad news is one of the things I order got damaged.  I'll leave the supplier and courier to sort out responsibility.

Of course, being Friday night I should be putting my party frock on and getting ready to paint the town red.  However as a mature woman (ha!) of nearly fifty years old, I choose to put my comfy jogging pants on and paint my nails red.

Have a good weekend!
