The bakery department at Mr Ms are packing their own flour into 1kg bags. Maybe DD could get you some.7

I saw flour in my local B&M at weekend - don’t know if you’ve got one nearby or not. I didn’t need any but picked a pack up for relative. I’d gone in for milk save going in the supermarket and wasn’t looking for it....and there it was.
I’m sorry to hear you’ve had a few down days.....think it’s something in the air....I’ve been the same and so have some friends. I’m convinced it’s the grey skies as much as everything else. Plus you’d only just got yourself going again and picked yourself up after your accident.....I’ve just been watching tv and some of the towns first affected by the virus are living a much more normal life now.....so there is hope....onwards and upwards. I was going to have a lovely holiday somewhere this year as I’d put a cruise off because of waiting to go in hospital then I wanted to be fully recovered.....now I’m not even sure I’d want to go on a ship. My day will come eventually and I’ll get away somewhere nice. But after staying close to home - anywhere away will be nice 🤔😀
I’m pleased Mr SA had a good birthday and likes his hosepipe 💦💦 bet he was pleased with the beer 🍺
Well done painting the bathroom - what colour is it?January spends - £587.589 -
@milann yes he was very pleased with his beer. The bathroom is Barbados Blue, it’s a very deep blue-green and looks great 👍 The nearest B&M is 4 miles away, I don’t have a car so it’s out of the question. To be honest I don’t bake it’s just handy to have a bag in case I need it for a recipe, I can live without it.
DD is off work until next week as she originally booked it off to dog sit while we were on holiday. I need her to get me some butternut squash and sweet potatoes when she goes back. Can’t get them locally or from Mr M online and they are my staples 😩
Anyone seen the eBay advert where they still have the 34 year old living at home with the bedroom still the same - this is me (although DD is 33) 🤣I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)9 -
Well done on the insurance! Super result.I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)

Morning all 😎 That’s April done, happy May. Wonder what this month will bring?
Last day of my week off and today’s plans are to clean the hall/stairs carpet with the new cleaner and then finally get round to that manicure and pedicure. Also need to do a meal plan although that could wait until the weekend. Really need to start tracking on WW app again.I’m pleased I’ve got everything done I wanted to this week 😁

Carpets have been cleaned. OMG you should’ve seen the colour of the water 😱 There I was cleaning the stair carpet when Mr SA piped up from his comfy chair, watching the TV - what’s for lunch 😩
Did Joe’s PE this morning then took the dog to the park. I’m still doing my Spanish lessons daily too. Next on the list is manicure/pedicure then day 3, week 4 of C25K.The sun is out now and I’m feeling more positive ☀️😎I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)8 -
Wow you've done well SA to get all that done. It always feels good to accomplish things and it's good that you've got through your list of jobs for your week off 🙂.
It's bank holiday Monday so I presume you'll start work again on Tuesday?
Didn't Mr SA used to get his own lunch while you were at work? Is it beyond the realms of possiblity that he could get his own lunch while you're at home, or is that a silly question? 🙄Finally Debt Free After 34 Years, But Still Need to Live Frugally
