My foot feels a lot better this morning thank goodness. I guess I'll always have trouble with that ankle - thanks for that Mr SA 😒
I did a Prolific survey first thing this morning and earned £1.19 for 5 minutes. I used to do a lot of surveys but no longer have time to do many on a regular basis so just dip in now and then.
WFH today. The Mr M shop arrived just after 6am so all put away. No missing items or subs.
I noticed the coffee pods I usually buy have gone up from 2 for £8 to £4.95 each!! I didn't put any on this week's order but had a look on Amazon as they often do some good deals - 10 packs for £37.99 so works out a lot cheaper. Just shows it pays to shop around.
Today's exercise will be dog walking later this morning, a lunchtime live bums and tums session and resistance bands tonight.
I'm hoping it's not going to rain today so I can get some washing out. Also need to clean the bathroom and dust round upstairs.
Tonight's dinner is a portion of veggie lasagne from the freezer with salad.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)2 -

I bought my Nespresso machine as part of an offer on their website - it was machine and a huge box full of pods for £48 about this time last year. I had a Tassimo a while back and it didn't seem to make the coffee very hot - the Nespresso does a better job.3

I’m in the office today but sat all on my own 🙁 I’ll stay until lunchtime then WFH this afternoon.🐙 sent me notification of my upcoming payment and have suggested I up the payment to just under £300 to build a buffer. I’m currently almost £500 in credit so I’m going to wait and see if this goes down first.Put some washing out before I left the house this morning as it’s sunny and windy here. Any drying outside is a bonus now.
I don’t plan to spend anything today so it should be NSD 7 of October.Exercise is walking to/from work and a live Zumba session at 6pm.Tonight’s dinner is a portion of veggie paella from freezer stocks. Freezer contents coming down nicely so will soon have a clear drawer to earmark for the week’s meals.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)4 -

PS: geeky info - Nespresso use recycled aluminium pods in their shop fittings.
