Hands up who’s glad it’s Friday? Oh weekend, I bloody love you! Well, after a week of feeling unproductive, unmotivated and generally exhausted I feel like I’m swimming with the tide again as opposed to against it.
It’s been an accomplishing week and I feel better for getting on top of chores and finishing things that needed to be done.
Potting And Pottering
We’ve had some sunshine this week so I’ve finally managed to catch up in the garden after days and days of rain! I may have gone a little mad with the seeds in the greenhouse as it’s starting to look like a jungle in there now. I do this every time.
I’ve potted on quite a few plants although there’s plenty more to do. There’s definitely progress so I’ll take that.
The Joys Of Flat Pack
When we moved here we made one of the rooms a toy room for the boys. But in all honesty, they just don’t play in there. They have spacious bedrooms and the majority of the time they bring their toys into the living room as kids do! So now I have claimed it as my home office. I bought some units to store some bits and bobs and I kid you not, they have been sitting in the boxes for what seems like ages!
It was time to bite the bullet and get them assembled. I’m really chuffed with how they look and they didn’t break the bank either. Now to fill them with all of my rubbish.
4 Bags Of Sugar
I have piled the weight on over lockdown, constant comfort eating has paid its toll.
I’ve been upping my game with the walks and cutting out snacks and I have lost 8lb this week (the equivalent to 4 bags of sugar) and 1 stone in total. I’m giving myself the weekends off as I’m on a VLCD during the week so it’s nice to have a drink something to look forward to. And let’s face it, dieting 7 days a week is arduous. Along as I lose a little each week that’s all that matters.
It’s been a very accomplishing week! How was your week?

Accomplishing is such a satisfying word for the week and it sounds like yours has been very productive. Looks like your plants are coming along nicely and I love the units in your new home office. Well done on managing to lose 8lb this week – that’s really good! #WotW
oooh, I do love your office furniture, well done for accomplishing the task of putting it together. I used to love flat pack furniture when I was capable of doing it. Your plants look great too!
Ahh! I am living for the weekend at the moment, just to relax! Send some sunshine here please, it’s been grey all week and rainy. Ugh.
Your plants are looking great. I put mine out in the garden a bit too early and they’re not doing well.
Those units look gorgeous!
Well done with the weight loss. That is fantastic. You do right taking the weekend off though x
Yes to the weekend! You have been busy in the greenhouse. I’m going to spend most of the weekend planting out plants. I do like your office furniture and lucky you reclaiming the room as your own. Well done for losing 8lbs this week. I hope you reach your goal, but it is nice to have a week off. Hope you enjoy your weekend. #wotw
Those all sound like great accomplishments! Well done you with your bags of sugar, lol. Question: does your tomato plant look fine to you? This morning we noticed that ours have some leaves which have curled over and that looks strange. So leisa has plucked those leaves off and we are hoping for the best.
I think you are wise to give yourself a little treat every now and then. Congrats on losing the pandemic weight.
You have lovely potted plants. I love your office furniture; it should prove helpful to you. I hope you’ve had a good weekend. I’ve loved weekends since childhood.
Wow, you’ve certainly accomplished a great deal there, well done! 4 bags of sugar is a really good weight loss, I could do with shedding a few extra pounds too… But I’m not a fun person to be around when I’m hungry (or ‘hangry’, as it often turns out, lol), so I’m trying to exercise more rather than cutting back very much food wise. It’s not going great if I’m honest, haha. I love all those young plants in your greenhouse! It’s a good feeling to grow your own veg etc (we did more of that in our old house, not so much in the last few years) x #MMBC

I love those units. I would love to have my own office space. I’m hoping when/if we move next year I will have a space I can call my own. Well done on your weight loss I need to do something about my lockdown gain. I’m trying but it isn’t working as well as I would hope #WotW
