If anyone deserves a holiday its you. I wish there was a way you could get a break just for yourself as well.3 -

Another very long busy day at work but I’ve done everything that needs doing (I think) and I’ve finally finished for 2 weeks 🥳🥂
Got a better deal on home insurance £85 for the year, renewal quote was £143 so a big saving.Still haven’t booked the airport taxi, packed the cases or painted my toenails. Jobs for tomorrow I think.
Roast root veg, steamed kale and broccoli and a portion of nut roast from the freezer for dinner tonight.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)6 -
Morning all.
Off into town with Mr SA today, he genuinely needs a couple of things for holiday. We will be going for coffee, maybe lunch if we’re still out, depends on what time we get there. I’m walking so will get plenty of steps in.Live FitSteps tonight 💃 I’ll miss these live sessions when I’m on holiday but I do lots of walking, I don’t just fly and flop. One year we went to Cyprus in August, it was boiling hot, but I was in the hotel gym at 7am every morning, did water aerobics every day and loads of walking. I was gutted to find I’d put 5lbs on when I got home, had to console myself with a new pair of shoes and handbag 😆
Tonight’s dinner will involve using up the last of the veg in the fridge. Never seen it so empty! Need to give it a really good clean before DD starts filling it with her stuff.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)5 -
You never need an excuse for new shoes. Handbags I can leave as I rarely use one since I retired. Have a stress free trip into town and have awonderful holiday.

Hope you don’t have to trail around too many shops with mr sa. At least your already bribing him with going for coffee 🤣4

I’m sure that 5lbs was all muscle!Have a successful shopping trip.
I did a 10min get fit with Rick this morning on your recommendation….my steps looked nothing like his and I swear I nearly died! 😧Not all who wander are lost - J.R.R.Tolkien

I am absolutely shattered, what with walking to and from town, taking the dog on the park and the FitSteps class I’ve done 30,000 steps. Not done that many for a long time!Mr SA got loads of new clothes and yet another man bag. We went for a coffee but finished too early for lunch out so just picked up a baguette from L*dl which was free as I’d spent enough on my app.Taxi is booked for 12 noon tomorrow. Taxi fares are extortionate, we only live 12 miles from the airport, can see it from my back garden £36.50! Glad we haven’t got an early red eye flight but the downside is we won’t get there until early evening. This time tomorrow we should be there.Still haven’t painted my toes, will do that tomorrow morning, I’ve had enough now.
Cleaned the whole house this afternoon plus a load of ironing.Suitcases are packed at long last. Had to supervise Mr SA’s toiletries as he’d packed way too much stuff plus hair gel - he hasn’t got enough hair to need hair gel!I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)5
