Things can only get better

I really need to sort my phone out so it doesn't ding at night. Last time it was the NHS Covid 19 app dinging at 2am to tell me we had moved in Tier 3.Wasn't a happy bunny 

I'm so glad we are not having a Teams Christmas party

Must remember to switch my phone off at night. Was woken up by blooming Duolingo pinging, reminding me it was time to do my Spanish at 2.30am! Took ages to get back to sleep after that.

My phone is magically programmed not to notify me of anything between ten and eight. My husband's laptop could take lessons there, though. The other week I was woken by a sudden burst of opera at 3am! As my hearing is better than his, he slept on and I had to go and turn the wretched thing off! We never found out quite how it managed to turn itself on.

Have you got a cat? instead of Opera I get ABBA when one of mine sits on the keyboard!

Morning, happy hump day 🎄

The Teams party was ok actually. We had quizzes and games and then a general chat at the end (which did drag on a bit admittedly). It overran though which meant I didn't get time to do the yoga. 

Mr SA's dental trip wasn't too expensive at £22 for an x-ray. There's nothing wrong with his gums or teeth, the pain is neuralgia, he's just got to take painkillers when needed. 

Today I've got to take the cat to the vets for her final booster. Hopefully the weather will be dry enough for Mr SA to put her carrier on his scooter, don't fancy the faff of a taxi they are really weird about taking animals even in a carrier and they never know where the vets is even though it's been there forever! Nothing to pay as I've got a pet plan for her flea treatment/vaccinations. We'll take the dog with us as it's a good long walk for her.

Exercise today will be the walk to and from the vets and then Zumba later on. Might try and fit that elusive day 1 of the yoga challenge in if I can.

Cleaning is the spare room/gym today.

Will grab something out of the freezer for me for tonight's dinner. There's a piece of breaded fish been lurking in there for ages, might have it with some wedges and get rid of it. I still need to get my freezer contents down drastically, I'm sure things breed in in overnight it never seems to go down.

Should be NSD 3 of December today.

Have a good one x

We are having the opposite problem with our freezer. The contents seem to be disappearing at an alarming rate. Will need to have a stock up again after Christmas I think!!

Ha ha, no cat. And the goldfish swears he was asleep too.

The cat survived the trip to the vets on Mr SA's scooter. We took the dog with us and she cried the whole time the cat was with the vet. It was a good walk for the dog and me, 10,000 steps in one fell swoop.

Managed a NSD, the second of the week, despite Mr SA asking me to pick up some bacon for his lunch on the way back. Told him we've got plenty of food in, no need to buy more.

Mr SA managed to drop a full mug of coffee in the kitchen just minutes before I was due to join a Teams call. You have never seen such mess - all over the worktops, cupboard doors, wall and floor! Cupboard doors and wall are cream so had to act quickly.

Least inviting offer of the day goes to Mr SA: "if you fancy a walk down the garden to get some fresh air the dog has done a poop near the patio". Lovely 😐

My herb/spice rack has arrived so will start filling it as and when, alphabetically ordered of course. It fits just nicely on the worktop and under the wall cupboard next to the hob. 

Still not got around to day 1 of the yoga challenge. Doing a live FB Zumba session shortly though.

Yuk to Mr SA's offer!😱. Bad luck on the coffee as well - why is it that when one spills a cup or mug of drink it always looks like a bucketful!🤔
At least his dental bill wasn't too bad. It's probably a lot cheaper having neuralgia than something wrong with your teeth!😳
Glad you were pleased with your spice rack. 👍

I’m so tired all I can do is roll my eyes and send you a hug

Morning, happy Thursday 🎄

Have been to the big Mr T this morning for a few things. Picked Mr SA up a lovely gift set for Christmas, 2 miniature bottles of Kraken rum, 2 mixers and a lovely glass for £10. Even the woman on the checkout commented what a good price it was. It's a decent walk there and back involving steep hills so have already done almost 8,000 steps - functional fitness at its finest 😂

Today's exercise, other than the Mr T walk, will be taking the dog out at lunchtime and I'll finally get round to that yoga workout after work.

Cleaning is the living room, hall and stairs. 

Tonight's dinner will be harissa orzo bake. Quite excited today as I pre-ordered the latest Pinch of Nom cookbook back in September and today's the day it arrives 😁

Have a good one x

Is that the 3rd pinch of nom book then....I didn’t know they had another. I have the first 2 and there’s some nice things in them.
Rubbish having to clean the coffee.....like you say it gets everywhere. Did the cup smash too. My gdd knocked a candle over and the glass holder smashed.....this was well over a year ago. I was hoovering the other day and found a slither of glass which can only have been from there.....and the carpet gets hoovered regularly.
🤣🤣Did you take Mr SA up on his romantic offer for a trip down the garden then 🙄😂
