I went into a meeting at 10am and it was still pouring with rain. Emerged at 11.30 and everywhere was covered in snow. Took the dog on the park at lunchtime and she really enjoyed herself. Still falling now. Thank goodness for WFH 😁I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)6

Absolutely shattered tonight. Have been really busy with work all day, thought I was never going to be able to log off. Went for a treadmill run after work then had a lovely soak in the bath straight after. I didn’t have time to clean the bedroom that can wait until the weekend, it’s not as if I’ve got anything else to do.The snow has gone mushy but if it freezes tonight it will be treacherous in the morning.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)5

The other half has been out with the dog this morning and said the footpaths were still fine, it hadn't really iced over as such.
Hoping for more of a thaw throughout today although the temperatures don't looks as though they will get very high today at all and we are forecast a bit more snow for tomorrow.6 -
Morning all, happy Friday 🎉
Hoping for another NSD today, although this will depend if Mr SA has remembered his request at the beginning of the week for cheeseburger and chips for his dinner tonight instead of fish and chips. I don't have bread rolls in stock so will have to pick some up.
DD has paid her board today so will send some money to the holiday pot.
Exercise wise, today is meant to be a rest day but I'll be doing Joe's PE. Also need to walk the dog. Cleaning is the bathroom. Need to put the electrical items the council bulky waste are picking up on Monday outside today so they can quarantine prior to collection.
Have a fabulous Friday 😎

Take care on the snow. Still nothing here but gorgeous sun rise this morning.
That holiday pot must be getting quite big now. I am considering delaying our Canada trip again as I don't think we will be able to do the things we want to even this year.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Debt free Wannabe, Budgeting and Banking and Savings and Investment boards.
