    LOL :)

    Mr SA will be hiring a scooter for the holiday which I will be steering well clear of! I am hoping to be walking normally by then.

    The villa we booked has got 3 bedrooms so plenty of room for you lot :) Mr SA wouldn't know what had hit him! He'd be keeping out of the way that's for sure!

    As if we've not had enough medical type appointments between us just lately, I've had an invitation to go for what I call the boob squashing ordeal on 6 March. Tempted to delay it as it's quite a long walk up a hill but think I should be ok by then and would rather get it over and done with to be honest.

    Today has been another NSD 3/8 :) Might be another AFD too but not promising anything right now.

    I've had my taxi expenses back from work today £77 plus £20 in gift vouchers from work as a thank you from someone I did some work for over and above what I should've done. Always appreciated :)

    Was going to make a veggie curry from scratch tonight but have decided to have leftover pizza from freezer instead with some salad. Mr SA has got chicken in the slow cooker. He left the washing on the radiators again today so it's stiff as a board again!

    More ankle progress today - walked up the stairs at work instead of getting the lift. Not ready for walking down yet as it's a concrete spiral staircase; tried to but not got the ankle action back yet.

    It's absolutely freezing here, dreading it getting slippery underfoot.

    Hooray it's Friday :)

    Although got to get up early tomorrow for 7am Mr M delivery, followed by 9am appointment with DWP for Mr SA.

    Another NSD today 4/8 :)

    Busy day at work as usual. Can you believe bus home only 2 of us on a double decker bus from city centre at 4pm, bet that doesn't happen very often!

    Hope everyone has a fab weekend :)
