If its a hack you sshouldnt answer and if its genuine you shouldnt answer. Problem solved. Some people have all the nerve in the world.

In other news I’ve managed to order Mr SA’s prescription via the NHS app. Now let’s see if it arrives at the chemists.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)2

I've had a few 'friend requests' from hacked accounts belonging to friends, though I don't remember one asking for money - yet. I think either ignore it or message your sister to say you think she's been hacked. This sort of thing leaves a bad taste.
Hope the prescription comes through okay.I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)

Morning all, happy Tuesday. I can't believe this time next week I'll be waking up in Greece!
WFH today. Got a busy week at work tying up loose ends before I break up.
Mr M shop has been delivered and packed away, no missing items or subs. This week's offer was £1.50 off vitamins so ordered some multivitamins for £1 and still got £1.50 off 😁
I need to package up the broken camping chair and take it to the Post Office today.
This morning I've ordered the euros for click and collect on Friday and booked in my eyebrow wax/tint for Thursday afternoon. Just need to book the airport taxi now.
Had a monthly statement from Octopus and I'm just over £300 in credit. Interest rate for my Coventry monthly saver has gone up to 2%, it matures next month so will be opening up a new one.
Today's exercise is the usual live bums and tums at lunchtime and resistance bands at 5pm. Plus a target of 15k steps.
Need to sort something out for dinner, will have a rummage in the freezer. Freezer stocks are actually running quite low so will need another batch cook after the holiday.

I received a refund for the chair this morning so I’ve just dropped it off at the post office. Glad I didn’t accept the £6 refund the seller offered me.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)5

I would hazard a guess that your sisters account has been hacked.
We have had similar messages on Farcebook from people asking for money who we know would not ask.
Makes you wonder how some people fall for these scams.4 -
I agree with others that the FB message appears to be a hack.Good to read that you got your refund. 👍

Morning, happy hump day. A very grey drizzly morning here, I think it's been raining all night. The gardens will love it though.
Very glad indeed to be WFH today. Hoping to venture out for a walk at some stage.
Today has the potential to be NSD6. I don't plan on going anywhere apart from a walk this morning and dog walking at lunchtime.
I had a slightly disturbed night as I was dreaming a spider was walking on my arm, I woke up and my older cat was asleep at the side of me and her whiskers were touching my arm. Then the dog wanted to go out at 2am! Fortunately I got back to sleep and didn't wake up until almost 6am.
Exercise will be the daily 15k steps target and FitSteps at 6pm.
I need to sort something out for tonight's dinner from what needs using up. Last night I made spiced butternut squash stew with herb dumplings recipe here to use up a squash and some natural yoghurt. I swapped pumpkin for squash and left out the egg and made two portions, one for lunch today. The last bit of the yoghurt went into making overnight oats for this morning's breakfast which also used up some blueberries. The fridge is going to be bare by the weekend at this rate 😆I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)5
