experiment day 2

Today lots of things went well.  I had a good meeting with a book keeper and I am very much looking forward to not having to do the books going forward.  I have a good handle on the back log and I managed to work my way through a fair amount.  My book keeper is looking into setting me up on xero which sounds a good idea. 

I made a very successful vegetarian shepherds pie.  My Bub - being a big 8 yr old these days  - has decided in a very Brighton way - to become a vegetarian, bless him.   And this pie - was appreciated by Bub, Hub and me!!

Also someone from A1 windows came to measure up so we can get a quote on new windows. 

I am still debating whether to do the backlog of book keeping myself or get new book keeper to do it.  its probably 16 hours of work. 

I did a pretty quick trip to the supermarket.  hate going to the supermarket.

Bub had a playdate in the morning and Hub took him to the park in the afternoon.  It was a beautiful day.  xx

an experiment

Its Lent so I decided to give something up.  I was going to do the Whole 30.  But its a bit full on and I wasn;t sure I was ready. Or prepared to give up wine.  or milk.  So I have given up grains.  Which is fairly considerable and quite enought to be getting on with. 

My other experiement it to document what is going well.

Yesterday we had a really lovely relaxed family day.  We went out of for lunch at Bub's favourite restaurant (Foodilic on North St) - they do a brunch now and I had a delicious grain free Poached eggs on top of smoked samlmon on top of avocado with salt pepper and chilli flakes.  YUM.

I had a nap in the afternoon.  Hub cleaned the guinea pigs out and then read Beast Quest books to Bub.  His new favourite.  And then we went to Planet India for a take out delicious supper.  And I successfully did not eat the rice.

Hub got me a lovely card that Bub chose which said - "you are my cup of tea" and he brought me a cuppa in bed yesterday.  Which I really love.  IN fact, one of the reasons it was worth getting married.  As you just cannot wake yourself up by bringing yourself a cup of tea.  Ah, I am so British!

I had a clash of appointments on Tuesday which I managed to spread out so that they fit and I paid my rent for Wild Art Journaling.  We postponed a big clean up until this morning.  Hmm.  I need more tea that means.  Oh and to print out some things.
