Working my way from mounting debts 💸 to debt free as a woman with late diagnosed adhd 😎

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Hi there 👋

Thought it was probably about time I introduced myself 😀

I used to LOVE cooking. I used to be able to meal plan like a pro. Then all my coping mechanisms changed when I became a mum.

I have spent YEARS trying and failing at meal planning and beating myself up about it. Spending well over £100 a week on shopping and making sure it fit to the exact weekly budget. Only to order 3 take aways which would be more than the food shop...

With my ADHD I want to learn to work with my brain, not against it but I'm yet to find a way to practice this. Until now. The way I shopped was wrong for me. Id use up hours of energy planning, ordering, collecting, putting it away, only for half of it to rot or not be what I fancied. So I am trying something new. I am going to the shops only for today and tomorrow. It sounds like more effort because you're committed to it in advance but it's not! Less time throwing away rotten food, making irrelevant meal plans and picking up take aways.

So far so good, I am genuinely excited about what we are having so I cook it.

Last night was a mango and goats cheese salad with toasted pumpkin seeds, chickpeas, home made pickled red onion with a raspberry dressing. Me, who struggles to stir a pot noodle on days I'm most overwhelmed.

So far, so good.

Look at those beautiful books and handy bits and bobs.

If you're not from Scotland, @bookbug_sbt has free children's story, song, rhyme sessions every week in libraries and community venues.

The Scottish Book Trust also give books for free in the baby box and other points in the first few months, toddler stage and in primary school reading week.

It's one of our favourite and most rewarding things to do. I've also stopped buying books, instead we use the library and change them out for new to us every time. The library was one of my favourite places when I was young (...and now 🤣). You get the dopamine hit of shopping without the price tag!

And if you are from here and have wee ones, you should absolutely go. They are the best!

Yes, it's another post about coffee. Coffee has been like ADHD self medication for me so yes I am more than a bit obsessed 🤣

Our absolute go to weekday breakfast. This usually makes enough for 10 portions and a wee bit extra.

It's so nice to wake up and no decisions needed, lovely breakfast ready and thanks to oats and onken yogurts we are set up for a good day!

So simple, so effective. These wee pots are also really filling so one really is plenty.

The packaging caught my eye in Tesco and I'm glad it did. Will definitely be getting these to try warmed up for our next movie night 🤩

Sundays at the seaside.

Our place to breathe, let go, think about the big plans and have a break all at once.

This beach is yet to fail at giving me what I need. Plus the only cost is fuel, and ice cream of course 🤣

I'm officially a @dashdrinks convert 🙌

Tasted the peach and pink lady so far, I like that they're not super strong, makes it more refreshing than other fizzy drinks.

Not sure what my favourite is yet, will have to try the lime next and see which one stands out.

My honest take on thrift flipping:

Cons:
⚪It's harder than it looks, picking something you think someone would pay more for. We found this in the 3rd shop.
⚪Doing it with kids is a challenge. I used it to educate and as a challenge but it's tough to keep focus.
⚪You could lose out. Felt a bit like a gamble challenge. I kept the budget to £5 for this reason. Don't spend more than you're willing to lose.

Pros:
⚪I love window shopping so this was a dream activity for me.
⚪ I enjoyed the challenge. Looking not for me but for someone I'll never meet.
⚪ Its an ongoing activity. We are going to do it again with only the profit. This way we could only ever lose money we would not have had. It will be fun to see how far it goes.

Verdict: I enjoyed it and will definitely do it again.

Manic Monday feels appropriate.

Just an extra busy brain today so sitting down in peace with one of these is an ending I needed.

Have you tried them? I almost wish I hadn't because now I know how great they are. These will be finding there way into the shopping next week, maybe their pistachio pots too 🙌

Grabbed these at Asda

There are hundreds of things I love about Autumn, most of them are free, something I already own or low cost.

I also forget what year we are currently in nevermind month so I am delighted to see that Autumn has officially joined the chat.

I feel some crinkly leaf walks with a hot chocolate in hand coming on 🙌
