Funnily enough I was thinking about having paid out for the year then not being able to use the gym because of Covid. It wasn’t a great gym, pretty basic, but was ok for a lunchtime run on the treadmill. They are also giving away the equipment free of charge, first come, first served, it’s not the most modern equipment so will be surprised if they get many takers.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)4 -

I’ve had a busy day so far. Went to the big Mr Ts this morning, took the dog on the park then DS and the GKs came. Fortunately I remembered to pick up some sausage rolls for the GKs 😆 I’ve only just sat down, I’m shattered.Ordered coffee pods from Am@zon as they are only £12.99 for 5 boxes compared to Mr M 2 boxes for £7. Also ordered a huge bag of wood pellet cat litter, some garden twine and 6ft canes.Curry night tonight. I’m having butternut squash dhal and Mr SA’s beef curry is in the slow cooker. He’s moaning because he wanted cheeseburger and chips.After the weather not being too bad most of the day it’s started pouring with rain and it’s really windy. No plans to go out again with the dog in that.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)8

It was pouring with rain first thing then sunny and very windy. Washing is pegged out in hopes. The forecast was for rain all day 🤷♀️Took the dog on the park across the road this morning. There was a football match on so we were confined to the bottom bit.The kitten is being a pain. The bald patch on her neck that appeared when I administered the flea treatment, which was clearing up nicely, has suddenly become a mess overnight 😩 She has started grooming and scratching it, making it worse 😩 I’ve been bathing it with salt water and put on some animal tea tree skin cream but she washed if off. I predict another vets trip is on the cards. She desperately needs spaying but it’s not going to happen while she’s got this sore.Plans for today are to do a meal plan for next week, take the dog on the park again and give the house a good clean. Also need to do a few Spanish lessons. I’m going to roast some butternut squash, peppers, red onions, mushrooms and tomatoes then add to some pasta, passata and red pesto to make a pasta bake for me for tonight. Doing a chicken in the Ninja for Mr SA and DD.I’ve got a WW live fakeaway cook along at 6, then it will be eat dinner and feet up with a glass of red for an hour before bed.On the money front today is NSD 3/12.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)6

Same weatherwise in lancashire, rain first thing and then the wind blew it out, it's lovely and sunny but blowing a hoolie, hopefully the washing i've pegged out will also dry.
Sorry to hear the kitten is being a pain, could you ask for a cone at the vets to put around her neck so she can't get to the sore spot and keep licking it.3 -
Aww poor kitten…..bet it’s driving her mad.
Planning is sounding good 👍January spends - £587.583 -

I dont know whether it is possible for cats but our vet has inflatable collars which are great as they are softer and less restrictive. They are quite pricey but work well for some injuries.
