Happy Wednesday 😎
Up early again today, went for a run at 6am, a bit shorter than normal as I'm doing the last ever PE with Joe later. My Wilko order didn't arrive yesterday but is coming today between 9.03 and 10.03 - very precise 😁
Planning a NSD today, much needed have been a bit spendy the past few days, although all stuff that's needed, nothing frivolous.
Mr SA is making noises about new clothes for the holiday which is getting scarily close (4 weeks tomorrow). He has quite a few t-shirts and shorts that I put away in his suitcase to stop him just wearing them around the house/garden and ruining them, he'll have completely forgotten about them so it will be this weekend's mission to get them out. Also need to get my printer up and running again as I'll need to print out the boarding passes/hotel confirmation and the various forms you now have to fill in to get in and out of the UK/Spain.
Carrying on with the kitchen cupboard cleaning/decluttering today as didn't get time yesterday, I want it all done by the weekend.
Have a fabulous day folks x

We paid for our holiday yesterday... don’t need boarding passes for Cumbria... but isn’t it exciting to think we can travel to favourite places and have a break from home and be somewhere different.

Good to read you love the Roku box. I'm such a Luddite when it comes to change - quite happy to stick with Sky as I know my way around it and have the landline and broadband with them - all on a special rate they were offering a while ago though it should ending soon. I'll have to give them the 'poor pensioner' spiel!😀. I've got Apple TV box as well though this was a present. Really like it as I get my Netflix, Amazon Video etc through it.I gave my Fitbit to DD - I got fed up with it - if I go for a walk I just time myself. Hopefully Mr SA has forgotten about the Fitbit and it's off his pester list!Finally Debt Free! - July 2016 🌟

i was wide awake before 5 am again but unlike you I rolled over and didn’t stir from that calm state of nothingness until 6.45....and that was 15 minutes later than it should have been !!!! I think you’re amazing running at 6 am....( running at any time )....I can’t even run the bath at that time of the morning 😳
Pleased to hear you have clothes in a case to stop the pestering for holiday clothes.January spends - £587.587 -
Thanks for the Roku box info - never heard of it obviously but it may get me TV in the dining room & kitchen. Any normal signal here is somewhat erratic as I live half way down a hill. But we have great internet, unlike a friend who lives nearer a city & has less than 5% of what I do. Even if he went with BT he would be lucky to get 20%. Time they all pulled their fingers out. If they are hoping people can work from home (& save them money in the process) they are going to have to get their !!!!!!** in gear.

Morning all 😎
Thursday already, the weeks are flying by. Good news in that my holiday confirmation came through this morning, so 4 weeks today we'll be on that plane jetting off to Ibiza 😀 The downside is that means I've only got 4 weeks of my 50s left 😮
Going to a virtual retirement presentation later this morning for the lady I work for, it's going to be quite emotional, she was getting quite tearful yesterday so I don't know what she'll be like today. I'm sad I didn't get to see her again before she goes, what a shame we can't give her a proper send off.
Have been to Mr T Express this morning for a paper, will need to do something to get the step count up today probably dog walking.
Have a fabulous day x

Mr SA has been an absolute pain so far today. This morning he had one of his toilet accidents and left the bathroom in a right mess which I had to clear up and I shudder to think what he's put in the washing basket 🤢 Then while I was at the virtual retirement presentation he was using the hedge trimmers and cut through my washing line. All the nice clean towels drying gently in the breeze were on the floor 😒 I sent him off to the local hardware shop for a replacement line, it's not great but it will do until I can get a stronger one.
Hopefully the day will improve as it goes on...
