[donbean]

Tell you all why i AM a worthwile and good human bieng and domestic godess.
I feel good today.
Loaded up the car with stuff sorted from our wardrobes.
emptied the penny jar.
made a shopping list based on what we NEED not what we want.

drove to Tescos.
put bags of clothes and shoes into the recycle bins.
put contents of penny jar into coinstar, got £26.30 and donated 7% to charity.
Started a £1 savings book in preparation for next Christmas food/pressy shop.
mad batch of home made soup
ate total contents of a "hero's tin" am entitled me thinks.
am about to do revision for my maths test that i have got next week. I have dyscalclia and decided that fuck it quite frankly, i AM going to beat this thing....i am not thick, i can do it.
And i shall.
so confidence abound here in my house.
BUT
does my bum look big on this computer???

What are you proud of today or this week that you have done because you are a lovely lovely person?

I am proud that I have learned to make curry from scratch and that I took DD for her pre-school booster injections and didn't want to thump the nurse for hurting my baby

Lol Donbeam. By my reckoning you donated about £1.84 to charity. Why that amount?

Resting your bum on the computer will do no good to either b or c, whatever it looks like.

I am proud of walking to the butcher's and back in the rain this morning - at least 3 miles round trip and came back with enough meat for the next few days. I don't think that makes me a particularly lovely person but it is environmentally friendly, got a job done, supported local business, gave me some exercise and social contact with my friend who also came with her dog.

I went running this morning, even though it looked like rain, I got off an important letter that needs to go urgently, I've started my tax return, and in the process done my filing, and fixed the printer, done 3 loads of washing, and batch cooked low-carb lunch for next 4 days. Am off to cycle to do my errands, then do 2 hours help at school.

And tonight I'm going out for dinner

well done you fab girls!
charity is charity elasticwoman, not to be sniffed at, i could have bought a snickers bar AND a crunchie for that £1.84. so i make no appologies, ps dont talk to me about charity, im still smarting from my nspcc thread.

Sorry Donbeam I see I did not make myself clear. Lol was for your thread as a whole esp does my bum look big ....

Re charity: not sniffing, just wondering why you chose that amount which is not a round figure and not a round percentage of the whole either. Charity is greater than faith and hope, so says St Paul, and I applaud it.
