Our dog used to keep sniffing Mr SA’s head before he was diagnosed with the brain tumour. I can remember him saying why does she keep sniffing my head. It’s amazing how they can detect things.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)8

Morning, happy Friday eve 😎
It's like a Friday for me today because I've booked tomorrow off work. Was looking forward to a day of pottering but now have to take the cat to the vets for her vaccination booster. Shouldn't take too long though, will have to walk there and back but Mr SA is going to put the cat box on his scooter like we did last time. Provided he takes it slowly and doesn't slam up and down curbs it will be fine. Will also take the dog as it will be a good walk for her. I wish they'd open a vets up where I live, they'd make a fortune, every other house round here has at least one dog/cat.
Have just been to Mr T Express for a paper and loaf of bread today, shouldn't be any other spends. Tested out my new Skechers boots and they are super comfy.
Roasted some butternut squash in the oven last night for tonight's dinner which is an old favourite - spiced butternut squash stew with herb dumplings (made from yogurt and flour). Will make two portions and have the other one for lunch tomorrow. Mr SA is having pizza, wedges and salad.
To do today:
1. Work
2. Spanish
3. Clean living room, hall, stairs and landing
4. A Joe Wicks workout and yoga
5. Take the dog to the park at lunchtime - Mr SA takes her in the morning and mid afternoon, although she refused to go on the mid afternoon one yesterday
Have a thrifty Thursday x

Well done on cancelling the unused subs etc. All these little bits add up.
My DD2 swears her cat knew she was expecting GD1 and GD2 before she did as they were unusually clingy to her when normally they are independent souls. She got a positive pregnancy test a few days later.
