The station thing looked awful SA, a lot of our people commute in that way so our office was fairly empty too apparently.My mortgage free diary: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6498069/whoops-here-comes-the-cheese

It goes very very quickly. My two girls are now 30 and 31 and one is a mum herself which just seems unbelievable to me. I can still remember them as small children and no way does it seem like 25 years ago. I had a moment of deja vu today when my daughter (now 5 months pregnant with her 2nd) sent me a whats app picture of a new crib for the baby with my 2 year old granddaughter rocking it with her doll in it.

It really is frightening how fast the years go by.
So pleased all the hard work has paid off this week and I lost 3lbs at WW
As you know I was aiming for 1lb and was so shocked I asked the coach if she was sure. Next week's target was lose 1.5lbs so I've already smashed that. So my next target is to lose another 3lbs get back to goal. Not expecting to do that in a week though.
Not done a lot else today except for clean up. Mr SA went back to bed a while ago. Haven't told him his next brain scan is Wednesday, will remind him on Wednesday morning. He just frets otherwise.
Hope everyone is having a fab day.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0 -

Hi
I didn't realise we are in the same city.
You really do put me to shame with amount you do and what you have to contend with.
I am very up and down this week but I would love to meet up for a coffee some when. I rarely go into the city unless it is to go to hospital.
Is there any way you could have a night away so you get a good rest and feel restored? Otherwise I guess it is the occasional shopping day.
Take care honey
