Mr SA moans but I do love a good Eurovision, total kitsch but hey ho. Brings back memories of watching it with my mum and we used to score them on a thing pulled out from the Radio Times 🤣 We did the same with Miss World although due to political correctness this has been banned I believe 🤔I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)7

Sun_Addict said:@Cherryfudge he’s being very argumentative right now. He’s been unable to leave the house for several weeks since his scooter broke down which isn’t helping. The repair shop are closed until further notice. He knows I’m busy with work but he still appears dead on 12 noon if his lunch isn’t ready and doesn’t understand that I can’t just break off in the middle of something because he’s hungry.
I thought he understood what is going on until tonight when he said do you fancy a night out at the theatre. Bangs head against brick wall.
Work are messing me about at the moment too which isn’t helping.
The council are finally coming to collect our bottle bank tomorrow after not picking it up for several weeks. Was a tad embarrassing putting mine out tonight, although I don’t really care the way I feel right now. Unbelievably someone knocked on our door and asked if she could take the bottle tops for a garden project.Original Debt Owed Jan 18 = £17,630 Paid To Date = £6,736 Owed = £10,8947 -
So today I have done - not much 😁
Did a live Insanity class this morning, took the dog on the park, a bit of cleaning, a bit of gardening and that’s it. Was nice when the sun came out and have been reading my book outside.Went in to amend my Mr M order for Tuesday and realised I hadn’t got anything booked for 3 weeks time 😱 Anyway lots of slots so all sorted 👍
Today has been another NSD 🎉
The squirrel in our garden pinching the bird seed has become two squirrels. The bird table was rocking under their combined weight 🤣 It’s quite interesting as we get all sorts of birds using our pond for a drink or a bath as well as eating the seed.
Going to take Wednesday off work as it’s predicted 27 degrees, no way I’m staying indoors if it’s going to be hot 😎I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)7 -

Morning all
As it's already warm today, I did my C25K at 6.30 this morning. Surprisingly lots of other runners out and about at the same time, great minds think alike and all that. Took the dog on the park after breakfast, she wasn't keen as it was quite busy, lots of kids about on skateboards and scooters. I think everyone round my way is up early today.
Have booked Wednesday off work so it had better be nice or there's trouble 🤣
