Morning happy whatever day it is 😆
I have a vague recollection of Mr SA telling me he’d accidentally pulled the curtain rail down in the living room when he came to bed last night. I keep hoping it was a dream but suspect not. I daren’t open the door to check. Why he was anywhere near the curtains is a mystery. I hate how he gets up to things when I go to bed, it’s like he needs constant supervision.I guess a big part of the morning will be spent putting it back up. Oh joy 😩
Have had an email from Curry’s about the FitBit with a number to ring.

Mr SA strikes again. Hope it was just a dream. Somehow doubt it though. 😕

I do hope you curtains are either intact or an easy fix.

Shame you cannot put velcro on anything and everything he can possibly get his hands on, and even then he would find something you had missed
I hope it is not as bad as it sounds and was actually a dream.

Unfortunately it wasn’t a dream. I refused to look at the carnage and when he got up told him to fix it before he had breakfast. It’s sorted now thank goodness.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)4

Rang FitBit, what a marathon ordeal of a call that was! I could barely understand the accent of the chap I spoke to and he insisted he couldn’t find my account despite several attempts at spelling out my email address. I was put on hold several times for ages then transferred to someone else who sent me a claim form to fill in asking how often I wear it and what was I doing when it stopped working. Also had to send photos of the charger to prove it was a genuine one and the plug socket I used to charge it 🙄
Their customer service used to be loads better than this. I don’t think I’ll be buying this brand again. I’ve never had one last longer than 2 years.Just managed to get the dog on the park before it started raining.The little cat was in the garden sheltering under a fern by the pond when a huge tom cat came walking down the path and shocked her. She chased him off but he started to attack her so I sent the dog after him. The dog chased him off and the little cat came running in with a huge bushy tail 😆
I’m sorting out the fridge this afternoon to see what needs using up. There are a few things that need to go in the freezer.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)4 -
Fitbits customer service must have gone down. I spoke to them a few years ago when the clocks went back & it kept changing back & the woman I spoke to was really nice & the phone was answered very quickly. It finally gave up a few months ago after several years. I think I made a mistake though getting a charge 5 as it won't work with my computer, so I've had to buy a tablet too & it bleeps.

So pleased dil is home and your ds managed the cooking and childcare and presumably looked after her too. What a relief for everyone. Hope she doesn’t have to have more gruelling treatments.
Love the idea of the dog protecting little cat 😂January spends - £587.583
