And that's another weekend gone.
Put half a pound on at WW, not the end of the world, still 2.5 under goal.
GS has got chicken pox with a vengeance he's covered in it. Glad they didn't come here yesterday.
Took the dog to the vets today for a flea and worm check with a nurse. The dog has put on 1kg in 6 months so need to watch her weight as she's only little. Probably just not being as active over winter, she's in the garden all day with Mr SA when the weather's good so I'm sure she'll lose it. Didn't like her being referred to as an older dog at 7, she's still a puppy to me.

Don't ask about Mr SA and a leaflet that was inside the Mail yesterday :eek: He decided he must have some shorts, tshirts and all terrain sandals that were in there plus a free watch for new customers. He pestered me to death until I went online and tried to order them. The website wouldn't accept my mobile number and I couldn't put the order through. Mr SA insisted I must ring the customer phone line at 13p a minute. After listening to the hold music for 5 minutes I gave upGoogled the company and they are absolutely slated on Trust Pilot. Mr SA went into a strop and ripped up the leaflet. Now he's on a mission to find the items elsewhere. These are things he didn't know he wanted until he saw the leaflet which is very annoying for me.
Aside from that all is ok and the new budget starts tomorrow thankfully.

Forgot to report a couple of things I've bought/made that have been fab. Firstly cauliflower mash is just brilliant and exactly like potatoes. Made a fish pie using it tonight. Secondly I bought a spray mop and all I can say is why didn't I discover these sooner, brilliant to keep on hand for Mr SA's spills. Thirdly I bought the Sunday Times beauty box for £30, you can pick your own items, one of which was a 50ml Hugo Boss men's spray which I'm going to wrap up for Mr SA's birthday, plus CND gel nail varnish and top coat, plus This Works full size sleep spray, plus an OPI nail varnish, Morrocan oil hair oil and another hair product. Probably sold out by now but what a bargain :jI get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0

Cauliflower mash does sound nice. I like sweet potato and parsnip mash too.
How does a spray mop work?
Glad you got yourself a beauty box.
