ffoxwe went for a long walk along the beach this morning, and the tide was going out as we went. i took this photo of the dunes, they reminded me of something from another planet.
i wore my lucy and yak cupid trousers and i think that maybe they were a mistake because i have worn them maybe three times since i bought them, but then maybe i just need to make more of a point of getting dressed properly now i am WFH. also wore my lazy oaf tshirt that says don't happy be worry, which always makes me laugh.
we got cut off by the tide coming back in so had to take our shoes and socks off and wade back through the water. the dog had the time of his life and the kids really enjoyed it. it was a fun memory to make.
came back and had a freak out over finances, have become aware that i need to pay the home insurance, mot, yearly tax and van insurance within the next two months, on top of the ad blue issue. so naturally the sensible thing to do would be make sure the finances are locked in, but instead i bought myself a plant from co-op, extra food that wasn't on the mealplan for dinner (looking at you korean bao bun 'served' meal - very very disappointing) spent some stupid money on drop the cat (i swear that game is so fricking infuriating) and bought a back issue of a cross stitch magazine for the free gift. WHY AM I LIKE THIS. It's not like I spent over £20, but that £20 would have been 16% of my home insurance bill. i am so tired of it. i've turned off in app purchases in my settings, and i'm hoping i forget how to turn it back on to be honest.
have spent my afternoon spiralling and watching youtube videos. i am going to go and lie on the sofa in a minute and hate read some more sarah j maas.
