It’s the hospitality industry I feel sorry for, especially on the run up to Christmas, they must be losing a fortune.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)7

This will be the final nail in the coffin for a lot of pubs and restaurants.7

Here's to the afternoon being better than the morning - it just about has to be, doesn't it?
As a very small plus - carrying the beer will be good for your upper body bone density. I don't suppose that makes up for it though. We're in tier 2 despite a few rough weeks - doesn't make sense, does it? I suppose population density may be something to do with it.I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)

We’re tier 3 too. Even though my town’s total is less than the average now.....we’re lumped with the rest of the county......I’ve only been popping to the local shops or a walk. I’ve sort of got used to it.....I think the trouble will be I’m not on my own and a lot of people might not go out as much even when we can. Worrying times for the pub industry indeed.January spends - £587.587

Fancy forgetting this - it’s 4 years today that Mr SA ran me over with his mobility scooter, broke the bones in both sides of my ankle and dislocated it 😱
Took the dog on the park for a run at lunchtime, she really enjoyed it apart from an altercation with a puppy called Kevin. Kevin 😂
Have bagged a Black Friday bargain on Amazon - my Tassimo pods are on a really good deal today. Makes them £2.63 a box, almost £1 a box cheaper than the supermarkets 👍I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)7 -
More upper body work this lunchtime too, moving the greenhouse boxes down to the bottom of the garden ready for the bloke coming to put it up tomorrow - hopefully 🙏I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)7
