    What a day at work, absolutely manic. Logged on at 7am and logged off just after 5pm. My only break was the hospital visit which I took as my lunch break. Still haven’t cleared all my emails but managed to deal with the most important ones.

    After work I did the live WW FitSteps session, it was a Eurovision special and it was such fun, really enjoyed it and felt so much better for it. Well worth the £6.95 a month I pay as a Gold member for all the fitness classes alone. 

    I’m shattered tonight so will shortly be off to bed. Early start tomorrow, going to do the first hour from home then make my way to the new office for my induction. Aiming to WFH in the afternoon as I have two meetings.

    I hate lifts too, @Sun_Addict. Can't bear being closed in. I always use the stairs even if I'm puffing like mad by the time In reach the top. How nice to have a nice new work building.

    Your new office sounds very much like ours SA , even down to the expensive coffee in the lovely cafe . Have a good evening.

    The kitten came trotting down the garden with something in her mouth looking very pleased with herself. When I opened the door she ran under a bush with it. I thought oh no what’s she caught - turned out to be just a large feather 🤣 So far she’s only managed to catch and eat 🤢 flies.

    Happy Friday 😁

    WFH today, hopefully won't be another long day, I'm shattered. Determined to finally clear my inbox today.

    Should finally be NSD 1/10 for May, no plans to spend anything. This month is a very spendy one what with the holiday, stocking back up with food after the holiday, DGS's birthday and now the living room refurb being thrown into the mix. 

    Today's exercise will be dog walking at lunchtime and Get Fit with Rick's latest walking workout, as long as I hit my 15k target steps I'll be happy. Meal planning has been all over the place this week so need to get back into it, still got my holiday head on.

    Best make a start...
