    Sorry to hear you are both unwell, mind you if I’m ever ill(which thankfully isn’t often),you can always guarantee my DH gets it as well and obviously has to have it worse than me. Was going to ask if you suffer with hay fever which my DH does and earlier this week seems to be starting with it, itchy eyes and feeling like no energy. My DS has 2 dogs aged 1&2, the 2 year old has been done but not the 1 year old yet, seems it’s down to the breed as to when they can get neutered. Cannot wait for her to be done as hopefully she will calm down just like the other one did. She’s so lovely but such a live wire. Thankfully never had a pet that has kept me up at night, does Mr SA get disturbed by her.xx

    I don't usually get hay fever but Mr SA really suffers with it (no surprises there!). I'm not ruling it out though as my eyes definitely feel like they're reacting to something. Mr SA always says he hasn't slept the night before but his snoring suggests otherwise 😆

    This lunchtime I've got everything out of both freezers and made a list of what's in there. I've done this many, many times before and always forget to keep the list updated. This time I'm determined I will. Suffice to say next week's meal plan will revolve around using things up.

    I'm going to attempt to take the dog out for a quick walk on the park just to get some fresh air. Mr SA took her out earlier.

    Have requested a refund from Amazon for the cat litter that was meant to be delivered on 2 March and hasn't even been dispatched yet! I ended up having to go out to get some which was annoying. 

    Had an email from Octopus about the price rise, not got a monthly payment amount yet, they are going to review it after 2 April, so I've got one more 'cheap' payment then who knows what it will be.

    Just got our council tax bill and it a £6 monthly increase so happy with that. Water rates was 50p monthly increase. I have a fridge freezer and a small chest freezer in the garage. Occasionally I empty them and write down what is in them. Sometimes it’s like Xmas when I find stuff that I had forgotten about. Xx

    Thank you @amber03 I thought I was imagining the hayfever because it was too early. Obviously I'm not. I'm just having a 5 minute sit down in the middle of doing my freezer inventory S_A. I keep the list up to date for about a month then I'll be in a hurry to put shopping away one day or to make a quick meal and it all goes to pot again....

    @Sun_Addict - I'm also on a freezer-use-it-up drive. It's surprising how many meals can be made out of what's in there. I like the small freezer above the fridge to be used for storing all the odds & ends of ingredients I save - things like chopped peppers, lemon juice, chunked up meats, unused coconut milk, fresh ginger, all sorts of things, but everything got really mixed up between freezers in the run up to Christmas, then storing all the stuff I made from leftover turkey, so I keep finding things in there I've forgotten about. 
    It's quite early for hayfever, I'd have thought, but then I'm used to Mr F, who only reacts to oilseed rape pollen. One of my friends does start suffering earlier as his hayfever is triggered by tree pollen. I suppose if blossom is appearing, it's a possibility.

    De lurking to say that I always get "hay fever" in March from the Larch trees, East winds carry it from Scandinavia, we often find yellow  dust on the cars, windows etc . then our own Larch trees follow on a week or 2 later, often get a bit of respite than before grass pollens and so on.

    I did a full inventory of cupboards and freezer……took me ages but I never kept it up to date and Dh kept buying things and just putting them in the cupboard……I gave it up as a bad job 😂😂😂😂 loved the idea of it but I’m just not organised enough. Good luck with yours 👍👍
