Happy Friday 😊
I couldn't think what day it was when I woke up this morning. Not helped by having a disturbed night's sleep thanks to the kitten playing with her toys most of the night! I thought she was getting the general idea we all sleep at night and that includes her but seems not. I'm going to keep waking her up if I see her sleeping today, try and keep her awake, although that's easier said than done with cats, especially as I'm working.
It should be NSD 2/12 today.
Might go out for a walk later, although it's raining at the moment. Will still have to take the dog out 2 or 3 times raining or not.
Hoping for a quiet day at work as I have a lot of admin to catch up on and also need to prep for next week's interview.

Some brilliant news this morning. I was a member of the work gym, I think I paid £50 a year to use it. Obviously it hasn't been in use for the past 2 years and we will shortly be moving to a new building where there won't be a gym. The gym accounts have been wound up and all members will receive a refund of £274. This is much more than I paid over the couple of years I was a member so I'm very happy with this 😁
I'm not telling Mr SA about this refund as it will burn a hole in his virtual pocket.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)11 -

Our dog has been waking up early this week and then pacing around our bed waiting for us to get up.
Not really like him. He normally sleeps through to the alarm.
There must be something that has triggered him. Maybe the birds are singing a bit earlier 🙁5 -
