Not done a test yet. I actually feel a lot better but Mr SA feels rough and has gone back to bed. There's a bug going round work at the moment (not Covid). I've just been on a Teams call and a few didn't attend because of being off sick with it.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)3

If you really like your coffee get one of these - https://www.sageappliances.com/uk/en/products/espresso/bes500.html?clickid=zCw0R:1lCxyNRvbznKy3QRqXUkDV-XTc11wOz40&irgwc=1&mpname=Skimbit Ltd.&cid=8631 have one in my office and it's brilliant. So many good independent coffee roasters right here in Nottingham rather than giving Nescafe your money.
Think you've worn that ankle out with all the walking lol.
Get well soon.4 -
Happy Friday. That’s a full week at work done ✔️ Although I finished early today I did over my hours a couple of other days.Went into the office today. The bug I thought I was starting with yesterday disappeared overnight thank goodness.Went to B&M first thing and was pleased to find they had the tiny tins of coconut milk back in stock, 3 tins for £1. Ideal for me as it’s only for my curries. Bought 6 tins. Then nipped in Mr S on the way back to work and found packets of powdered coconut milk for 70p a pack, bought 2. It’s fair to say I won’t run out for a while 😆
What with the walking to/from work and the trip out this morning, I’ve clocked up almost 24,000 steps so will finish the day well over 25,000. I think that’ll do me for exercise today.It’s been another lovely warm sunny day so glad I hung the washing out before I went to work.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)4 -
Not been to B&M for a long while, might have to have a nosey next week as they often have some good bargains.
Well done on all the steps, that's definitely enough for one day. I've got a salsa online session factored in later, so that should give me a bit of energy...lolMaking the debt go down and savings go up

Happy Saturday 🥂Another 25,000 plus steps day again today as this morning I went to the big Mr T then after lunch we went to the pub with the fabulous Halloween decorations to meet DS and the GKs. The pub was really busy as there was a gender reveal party in the function room upstairs. Had to explain to Mr SA several times what a gender reveal party is, I still don’t think he fully understands 🤦♀️Curry night tonight 😋
Looking forward to the Strictly Halloween special tonight 🎃 The rose cava has been in the fridge since 6am.A few photos of the pub decorationsI get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)5 -
