Morning 😎 It's my least favourite day of the week - Tuesdays just seem really flat.
🤣🤣🤣 to your hubby Izzy.
We had a fresh batch of snow overnight so the pavements are covered again after thawing out yesterday. Not too bad though.
I've got a Mr M delivery coming later, should be ok as our road is on the flat and by the time they get here the roads should be clearer. I've also took the plunge and ordered a fruit and veg box for Thursday £17 including delivery for a family sized one, it's coming from a local market. I'll see what I think anyway, if it's good I'll be a regular customer. The quality of fresh stuff from the Mr M online shop is very hit and miss so I'm hoping this is a lot better.
Will be on dog walking duties again today as Mr SA won't be able to get out on his scooter unless the pavements thaw. After work exercise is a core/abs workout. Cleaning is the living room. Currently undecided on what to make for my dinner tonight, going to have a root around in the fridge and freezer to see what needs using up. Mr SA is sorted, he's having slow cooker beef stew.

The one time we have nowhere to go and wouldn't mind some proper snow and we don't get it!5 -
I mentioned to OH that I needed to recharge my iPad so I could read in bed. He offered to leave the bedside light on so I could read it if I forgot to recharge. You couldn't make it up.All that clutter used to be money9

Unfortunately the dog is unwell again today. She's off her food again, has been sick (phlegm not food) and is showing no interest in going to the park. Looks like a trip to the vet might be in the offing because she's been like this on and off for a couple of weeks now. Just when she seemed to be so much better too.
In other news I think I very nearly fell for an email scam. I've been waiting for some tea lights I ordered from an Amazon seller in December not realising they were coming all the way from China! I've just received an email from Royal Mail saying they attempted to deliver the parcel this morning but no one was in. I got as far as clicking the reschedule and saw a form to fill in details. Thankfully I thought on because we were both in the house, there was no card through the door and no one knocked. I deleted the email straightaway. Hopefully nothing will come of me clicking the link. I had a look online and there is such a scam doing its rounds at the moment and they're after your personal details. The scammers seem to be out in full force at the moment, I don't usually click on links in emails unless I'm certain it's safe to do so but this one almost got me.
