Just back from a lovely sunny walk on the bridle path that runs by the golf course. Not muddy this time so we managed to get a bit further. Nice views from up there too.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)8

Made a start on jet washing one of the patios this afternoon. Looks better already. Mr SA is going to fetch some patio cleaner tomorrow to really spruce it up. I love how sunny weather makes you feel like getting things done.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)8

Lovely countryside near you. Must be nice to get out in the country air.
I'm pleased you’ve decided to go ahead with the bedroom 👍January spends - £587.584 -
Happy March
Bit late updating today, been manic this morning at work, finally stopped for 5 minutes breather.
I live in the suburbs milann but not far to go to something more rural, 5 minutes in a car, 20 minutes approx. walk. Looking forward to the pubs/cafes opening up again so we can venture a bit further and I can relax knowing I can use the loo if I need it, this is what worries me if we go too far 🤣
First day of March and a spending day unfortunately. Mr SA has been out to fetch a hosepipe connector for the jet washer that doesn't actually fit it 😕 and some patio cleaner.

Today's exercise is Joe's PE this morning, dog walk at lunchtime, treadmill run after work. Cleaning is kitchen and dining room. Tonight's dinner is leftover tomato and chickpea curry from Saturday. Made some red lentil, carrot and spinach soup for work lunches this week.
Have been a bit slack with filling in my WW app tracker over February so my challenge is to get blue dots every day for the whole of March.
Not had chance to contact anyone about bedroom quotes yet, it's on my very long to do list for today.

I’ve got one company so far coming to give me a quote for the bedroom next week. It’s a joiner who works in conjunction with a builder so they do the whole package.Will be ready to put my feet up tonight after a very hectic work day.
Weather was dire today, foggy and cold, what a change from the weekend.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)6 -
it’s been beautiful here today. I took a flask of soup on my walk so that I could rest and have my dinner at the same time.January spends - £587.586

The weather has been thoroughly miserable here today all day. The fog hasn't properly lifted all day!4

So much for sitting with my feet up tonight. I’m confined to the very end of the sofa thanks to the cat and dog 😆I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)6

Afternoon all
Another spending day today as the Mr M delivery arrived earlier. Today's cleaning is the living room, hall and stairs, exercise is dog walking and abs exercise session after work. Making tuna, herb and lemon traybake for my dinner tonight, a new recipe from the WW app.
Mr SA has just had an appointment through for a brain scan next week which he's not happy about. He's been getting quite a few headaches just lately so he's getting stressed about it already. I'll have to go with him just because he wouldn't be able to manage on his own, I've phoned them and it's fine for me to accompany him.
Not a lot else happening, work has been busy again this morning.
