Blogmas 2023 {Day 1}

I’m thinking I didn’t think this through! Yes, I know, that absolutely sounds just like me! I’ve been sitting here for ten minutes thinking about what I’m going to write. I never do that. Usually I just write.

Health

Writing about what you’ve got up to fitness wise and nutrition wise is just not very interesting. And if I’m not interested then I’m thinking you’re going to be downright bored!

That said, it’s not going to stop me but I will apologise in advance 😊

It’s been a good day all round. Gary’s off work, so after a short lie-in, he and I walked Harvey together before doing a huge shop at Tescos. Once home, I put away the shopping and made myself some breakfast (porridge with frozen fruit, seeds and nuts and a banana).

Small Business

I had bits and pieces I needed to do today, beginning with finishing my latest card design:

There were a couple of orders for these already, so I printed off twelve hedge hug cards and packed them up to be sent off to their new homes. I recorded all this to go into a studio vlog.

With the goal to move as much as possible each day, I did some housework, preparing the living and dining room for Christmas decorating tomorrow. I also grabbed this year’s special decoration (we buy one each year). This was bought from our local craft fair:

Next, I added my new card to Etsy, taking some photos and a video to post on the listing. I’ve also ordered a custom made cutter and stamp from Etsy of my brand logo red bird. I have ideas to create some clay pins and magnets. Anyway, I chatted to the person who’s making them for me and uploaded my logo for her to get the shape perfect.

Lastly, I tidied up and organised my studio whilst chatting to Thomas for almost an hour on the phone. Becs and Abs went off to a birthday party. Thomas popped in with his girlfriend Jess and Lillie’s boyfriend JJ was also here. By the time Ads and Charlotte got back from work, our living room was decidedly busy.

Gary and I had a date night in watching Survivor and I had a lovely healthy meal of stir-fried veg and rice. I had a small portion of ice cream to finish it off.

To conclude: I managed to get in my steps and kept within my calories for the day.
