    Catching up, admiring how you are managing and juggling everything.

    Gin, hairdo and cat sounds lovely..
    As a dear MSE friend says “keep plodding” or
    What does the saying say.... When life hands you lemons, make lemonade
    Or as my Mum would say, brush yourself down, tomorrow is another day or
    Fake it, to you Make It

    That's Tuesday and Wednesday done already :eek: I feel like I get on a merry go round on Monday morning and thrown off on Friday night!

    Yoga yesterday, Pilates today, enjoyed both and I'm getting better at them, really noticing the difference in my balance and core strength.

    Exchanged my £20 Nectar points for £40 in vouchers :) Going to spend them tomorrow lunchtime, try and pick up some bits for Christmas.

    Hope everyone is having a good week so far :)

    Yoga and Pilates can make a difference quite quickly can't they? I find them very soothing too.

    Pub sounds great, I'd probably steal the cat thogh.

    My oven blew up this week too, must be something in the East Mids air. Mine is 11 years old and well out of warranty sadly.

    Unbelievably we had no hot water or heating this morning - yet again :( Sent a text to the boiler man asking him to fix it PDQ. He sorted it this morning but doesn't know why it keeps cutting out so the manufacturers are coming out tomorrow. Hopefully they'll be able to fix it for good. I just want it done while it's still under guarantee.

    Spent the £40 vouchers in Mr S. Got some fairy lights, a baking tin and a few other household bits. The choice isn't the best at our Mr S.

    Day off tomorrow :) Potter round town first then meeting friends for lunch. Really looking forward to it :)

    Sorry to hear the boiler has gone again, how tiresome . Hopefully it will get fixed again correctly and won't cause you anymore problems.

    Enjoy your day tomorrow.
