Good credit balance on your energy account. I paid my dd at its usual amount as 🐙 had reduced it by £66. My dad is now £780 in credit and the website says he can have £56 back .....it's an o v o account which he was moved to without choice. Fortunately he can afford to be this much in credit but it can't be right or fair.
I hope that you can get access to the bathroom to clean it soon 🙃

Morning, happy Saturday 🥂
The cats got me up early this morning so I’ve already had my breakfast, read a few chapters of my book and done some Spanish learning. The dog is still fast off with Mr SA, she always jumps in my side of the bed when I get up 😆
I need to go out to the shops today for a paper and bread rolls. I also want to look for a couple of coat racks as I’m on a mission to reorganise the walk in cupboard in the bedroom. I want to store my coats and shoes in there. I already have my coats in there on a rail but I think it takes up too much room and they’d be better on a rack. My shoes are at the bottom of my wardrobe but I’m fed up of scrabbling about for them so think they’d be better on a rack in the cupboard where I can see them properly. Not that I possess actual shoes just boots and trainers.I will get around to cleaning the bathroom today in the short window of opportunity between Mr SA and DD’s getting up and end of day showers 🤣
I’m going to do the live ClubFit session in a bit before going out.Rose cava is already in the fridge for tonight. Tonight’s dinner is beetroot burger, wedges and salad 😋
Have a good one 😎I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)4 -
Breaking news - I cleaned the bathroom 🥳 Even managed to descale the shower heads. I’ve also cleaned and decluttered the spare room. Also got a line of washing dry as it was sunny and windy. Always a bonus to line dry this time of year - I’m starting to think about washing things we haven’t even worn yet 🤣I couldn’t find any decent coat racks locally so have ordered a pack of 2 from Amazon plus a shoe rack. The shoe rack claims to hold 20 pairs. I’m under the impression I haven’t got that many pairs but what’s the betting I’ve got more 😆I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)5

Happy Sunday 😎 Another beautiful sunny day here.Have cracked on and got loads done. Kitchen cupboards all emptied out, cleaned and decluttered. Same with my desk drawers. Just waiting for Amazon to deliver the coat racks, shoe rack and storage bags, that might be tomorrow’s job though.
I found some pink gin in the back of one of the cupboards, only a bit but still a nice find 😃
Took the dog for a good run on the park this morning and Mr SA has just taken her out again on his scooter.
Making aubergine parmigiana for tonight’s dinner as I really must do something with the home grown aubergines and basil. Plenty more almost ready to pick and loads more peppers too. At least I have a glut of something.
The least said about Mr SA the better. He has driven me mad today. He is heavily pestering for a bomber jacket and spending far too much time surfing the internet on his phone and showing me jackets on all sorts of bizarre unheard of websites and demanding I order him one. I’m trying to keep out of his way as every time he sees me he starts pestering 🤬 I’ve gone through all the reasoning - won’t keep him warm, wrong time of year and even resorted to telling him he’ll look like Kenneth from Benidorm in it because he really doesn’t have the right body shape for one. Not worked, he desperately needs one and he needs it now 😩
Oh and it’s NSD 4 of October.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)5 -
I'm sure he will forget about the jacket soon.
Kenneth made me laugh 🤣🤣🤣2 -
Oh Mr SA must drive you mad, but your description of his antics makes be laugh 😂 bu3
