    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.

    Forgot to say £16.63 cashed out from TCB, didn’t realise I had that much in there.

    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 xx

    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!

    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 😬
