    Here we are again - Monday.

    Dentist went ok, just got the smear to get over and done with tomorrow.

    Small spends in Mr S and Savers. AFD number 1 of the week. 16000 steps done.

    Must remember to buy something for DGS's 1st birthday as it's next week and they'll be here at the weekend. No idea what to get him, he doesn't need anything.

    Do they have a garden? Something like a paddling pool/swing/sand pit/water table?

    A tricycle with a handle for pushing him until he's big enough todo it himself?

    Bath toys, jigsaws, books?

    Token gift and money for his piggy bank?

    Thanks for the ideas Lucky xx If all else fails I'll get him some Next vouchers as they only ever seem to buy clothes from there. Trouble is DS's OH has got such a big family the kids want for nothing, they're very lucky.

    Today was a disaster. Turned up at docs for smear 8am, appointments all cancelled because of cyber attack :( So got to work over an hour later than normal for nothing. After work got my kit together for Zumba - no socks :( Then got soaked on the way to bus stop going home :(

    To make up for not going to Zumba I went in my home gym for 30 minutes so all not lost.

    Mr SA fell out of bed last night, took him ages to get back up and in bed. He's had another fall today, hurt his back and shoulder so he's fed up and "feels like topping himself". Happy Tuesday!!

    Had text from builder today, he's going to email me the quote. Daren't look - might need a stiff drink!

    Total spends today £4.38 plus another AFD.
