How things have changed.... On a Saturday morning I used to ... now I...

[mummysurfer]

On a Saturday morning I used to ...
go in to town and have my eyebrows done (£6 saved)
DH would have a music lesson (£15 saved)
We'd meet for a coffee and snack (£15 saved)

Now I (we)...
stay at home and do the week's big clean (£30 saved)

Despite the savings I can't wait to go back to our usual Saturday mornings.

What about your changes?

Normally HIIT at 9.15 then rushing around taking kids to music lessons etc.

Today I stayed in bed until midday, had lunch then I'm cleaning and rearranging the bookcase and cupboards.

I used to ... take youngest dd football training, park run myself, then walk the dog. Back home (dh just in from work) drop dh and both dd’s at the train station so they can head off to support their team... afternoon would be catching up w friends/relaxing.

Today....I got up, had breakfast, back to bed, got up and housework....

I think I enjoy both days equally.

Saturday morning is about the one part of the week that hasn't changed, up at 7 to help DS sort the papers for his round, laze around a bit, housework.

Now that just morphs into Saturday afternoon which which would previously have been a hockey or football match.

Sunday morning used to be a lie-in, followed by football / archery /swimming, now I go to work as there's only one other person in.

I can't wait for life to return to more of the old ways, this is tedious beyond belief.

Normally take DD to pony club (£30 saved) walk 5 miles round trip while she's there to the village for a mooch in charity shop (up to £5 saved, but I get so many great things its money well spent) then lunch at home, long dog walk in the afternoon.

This morning I did yoga, ran 5k, did a Times crossword and er not much else so far. Oh, trained some sweet peas and hoovered a bit. To be fair she's with ex DP until later so will walk dogs then with her.
