You are so good @Sun_Addict. Your stories about Mr SA are so funny sometimes, planning a summer wardrobe in his 'classy' outfit with a dodgy hair trim. I hope he makes you smile sometimes as well as us.

Morning, happy Friday 😁
warby if I didn't laugh I'd cry 😆 He can be very infuriating at times though. He wants me to get his summer clothes out, I've told him it's still March and we're not out of the woods yet with cold weather but he won't listen.
Have been for another run this morning, didn't really feel like it but ended up enjoying it and I'm so glad I made the effort now. Will be taking the dog out at lunchtime and will do some yoga after work.
Today will be NSD11 of March. Have seen my March payslip and the bonus and back pay is all there 🎉 OMG how much tax and NI have I paid 😮 Should be able to put enough to one side to hit my target of having the money to pay for the bedroom refurb by the end of the month. Then the next target will be to save enough to pay for all the things I need to finish it off by summer.
Cleaning is a general tidy/hoover round today. Tonight's dinner is garlic and herb coated yellowfin sole with new potatoes and veg. Mr SA is having his usual Friday fish, chips and mushy peas.

Couldn’t find my house keys this morning and had to use DD’s. Mr SA was adamant he hadn’t got them. They were in his bag 🙄I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)7

Happy Saturday 🥂🥳
Have been to the big Mr T this morning instead of local shops. Mr SA brought the dog down to meet me so she had a good walk back home. It’s a decent walk for me too at 8,000 steps to start the day.We had a very light dusting of snow overnight which seemed to only settle on next door’s car and a couple of my plant pots so a bit random. Lovely and sunny but a cold wind.Just pottering about today, emptying the laundry basket, general cleaning up, etc. The dog will get a couple of runs on the park.Curry night tonight, making an aubergine and chickpea one for me, beef madras for Mr SA plus homemade naan breads using lemonade and flour.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)7 -
EEk to Mr SA broken phone, hair cut, etc 😱😱. You really do have the patience of a saint. I'm glad DD is a help at times as it's a lot for you to deal with.
I have a spigen phone case and it's very protective as well as looking good. My DS has a shock proof phone case and as he's always dropping his phone off his bunkbed (without any damage so far) it must be good 😂.
Great news that you'll have enough for the bedroom refurbishment next month 🎉🎉🎉. Payday is always something to look forward to.

Mr SA is being hard work tonight 😩 He wants to go back to roofing 😱 Obviously it’s not going to happen but he’s seen some job adverts and is talking about giving them a ring. On top of that he’s seen a hold-all on wheels he wants for when we next go on holiday. I bought him a new suitcase last year. I’ve reminded him it’s me who has to manhandle the suitcases not him and a hold-all on wheels is too difficult for me to manoeuvre but he’s not having it. This is a result of him surfing the internet on his phone. I hate it when he’s like this 😩I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)6
