I hope the coffee and a wander worked out well. It strikes me as the perfect mini-escape.
PS. Could you tell Mr SA that replacing broken items comes out of his beer money?I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)

Love the idea of telling him it’s a girlie chair 👍 Bet it doesn’t work though 😏January spends - £587.583

Pink covers and cushions? I hope he is ok after his fall but you must get so fed up with his antics. At least the chair survived.

Thank you all for your input 😊
Thankfully he’s wary of the chair at the moment and has declared it lethal.I’ve tried giving him a list of jobs before but he conveniently “forgets” to look at the list.
I enjoyed my potter and free coffee before starting work. Only trouble was I didn’t feel like going to work with the weather being so warm.Meeting with the big chiefs went really well. What a nice bunch of people, really down to earth. I’ve only ever seen our top chief on TV before so it was great to finally get a chance to meet and speak to him.Step count is fantastic today at 28,000 steps plus 64 fights of stairs. Because of different meetings I was up and down those 6 floors 3 times. When I first arrived at work this morning I told a bloke also walking up the stairs to pass me as I had my backpack plus a shopping bag and would slow him down. He very kindly offered to carry my bags, then promptly changed his mind when I told him I was going to the 6th floor 🤣I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)6 -
Your step count is amazing.
Glad your meeting went well - you're a high flyer now!
I second pink cushions for the chair.I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)
