Super Kitten!!
I hope you are feeling better SA.
Am glad the meds are helping Mr SA, and like Beanie, am glad about your brother in law XXX

He’s a devil for not owning up to anything, nothing is ever his fault, he’s always been the same even before the brain damage 😡I watched and shuffled my feet a bit to the live Fit Steps tonight and I am absolutely going to love this when I feel better. It was brilliant. The instructor was so easy to follow and the music was great.
Tried a new recipe tonight for dinner miso glazed salmon with brown rice and spicy broccoli from the WW app. Another one to add to my list of favourites, it was delicious 😋 Also used up things from the freezer, fridge and store cupboard.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)3 -

The kitten is a hulking brute with superpowers.. when human backs are turned! Or perhaps it can manoeuvre a sack truck? You are a Saint @Sun_Addict as I've said before. Always love reading your diary. Love Humdinger xx4

I'd patent the kitten theme: You could make a fortune with her adventures as a sort of feline Superwoman.
Well done on the extra cash and vouchers!I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)

Morning all
WFH today, I still feel dire, LFT negative so must be a cold. If it's quiet again I might finish at lunchtime.
I need to order the euros for Lanzarote today as the offer finishes on Monday. I can't believe it's only 2 weeks until we go. Probably a good job to get this cold over and done with well in time for the holiday. I'd like to go to Lidl but only if I perk up a bit by lunchtime, it can wait until tomorrow if need be. My legs feel really wobbly.
I've got a courgette that needs using up so will probably make harissa prawn orzo for tonight's dinner as it has grated courgette in it.
If I don't go to Lidl there won't be a lot of steps happening today but I might do the live WW lunchtime Pilates session as the stretching will do me good.

Make sure you get plenty of rest. Even if it is just a cold your body needs it's strength to fight it off

I hope you feel better soon. It sounds like you need a day under a blanket.
I’m another who won’t stop when I’m ill, I have a theory that it’s an animal instinct and those of us who need to keep going are frightened we’ll get eaten or left behind if we stop 😬Not all who wander are lost - J.R.R.Tolkien
