Can’t believe we’ve had the younger cat a year today. I tried to take a photo of her to show how much she’s grown but she’s in hiding because I’ve administered her flea treatment. She’s a lovely cat, I’m so glad we agreed to take her on, even though she gets through an unbelievable amount of cat food.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)3

Mr SA is having another stab at the bomber jacket pester and has now asked for one for Christmas so I've finally relented. I've seen some on the eBay shops, they have a good selection and a lot of them are padded. He keeps saying he doesn't have a decent coat and I have to keep reminding him of the expensive coat I bought him less than a year ago that is hanging up in the cupboard under the stairs hardly worn!

That's Thursday done. This week has been manic work-wise.
Got absolutely soaked walking to work this morning then again walking back.
Nipped into Lidl on the way home for a few things and picked up a bottle of Christmas gin to put away. I bought one last year it was absolutely gorgeous and sold out pretty quickly so I thought it best I pick one up while I could. So that's another thing bought for Christmas. I'm determined to get most of the shopping done by the end of the month.
Today's exercise will be the 20,000 steps I've done today, not planning on doing anything else.
Tonight's dinner is a stir fry.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)3 -
