    Morning, happy Tuesday.

    WFH today so no pounding the pavements to/from work.

    Had a hot water bottle on my foot last night. It's still sore this morning so I'm thinking about asking if I can WFH tomorrow then Thursday is my usual WFH day.

    Mr M shop has just been delivered with no missing items or subs although the laundry liquid burst in the van so I've been refunded. On the minus side this means my first week of £100 spend for the £38 off has been scuppered as I was right on the wire at a few pence over £100. This week's delivery pass offer was £3 off juice so I spend £1 on some cranberry juice and got £3 off - bargain!

    I'll have to take the dog on the park today as she only got as far as the garden yesterday with Mr SA not having his scooter. She played up a bit in the night so she really needs a proper run. I'm not aiming for any huge step count today just whatever from dog walking and pottering around the house. I have a live bums & tums class at lunchtime then resistance bands tonight, neither classes will put any pressure on my foot.

    I'm going to try and give the kitchen and dining room a good clean later.

    Tonight's dinner is a new recipe from one of my old WW cookbooks - Quorn & lentil cottage pie. It will use up the last of the puy lentils just about to go out of date.
    I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)
