    That's Monday done :) 8 more work get ups to holiday :j

    HH - you fill the handle of the spray mop with water and whatever cleaning fluid you want then press the handle to spray it on the floor and mop over it. It's ideal for a quick freshen up or spot clean but I'll still use my steam mop at the weekend for a proper clean. All the downstairs floors are wood or vinyl.

    Mr SA rang me at work to say he'd had a fall, blaming it on his shoes - guess where this is leading - yes to the all terrain sandals pester. Reminded him he has several pairs of trainers/assorted footwear. Nice try Mr SA.

    New budget started today, trying to eke it out better this time and not spend the bulk of it in the first 2 weeks.

    Been for a run in the gym this lunchtime as well as my usual walking to and from work so easily smashed my 20k plus steps target. Also AFD 3 of April, aiming for another 2 this week.

    Yup 10/10 Mr S for trying

    Hope the blood results are ok and nothing to stop you travelling on your hollibobs.

    Sounds like you bagged yourself a bargain too.

    Happy Monday SA. Those spray mops are excellent. I use one on my laminate and am able to whiz round.

    Not long until your holiday. I bet you can't wait!
    With family, friends and pets (or any combination of them) life will be fine!

    That's Wednesday done :)

    Worked at home today so I could go with Mr SA to the doctors. His bloods came back ok, white cells fine, red a bit low so he had more blood taken to test for anaemia, liver function and prostate. The worst part for him was the doctor thinking I was his daughter - I'm 5 years older than him, he's gutted :rotfl:

    It was so nice to work at home today, just not having to rush and being home at the time I usually leave work. I'm going to do it on a regular basis, at least once a fortnight if I can.

    Yesterday was AFD 4 of April and yoga. Tonight I've had to open a bottle of gin that came with today's Mr M order to make sure it wasn't off - it wasn't :)

    Meeting my work friend tomorrow lunchtime then finishing early Friday to meet some retired work friends for lunch :)

    Just 6 more work get ups to go :j

    That would be great if you could work from home once a fortnight.
    Glad bloods were ok.
    Poor Mr SA :rotfl:
    What kind of gin? xx
