Have managed to achieve NSD 12 of March 🥳 Didn’t get around to doing the finances, will wait until payday. Seemed to have spent all afternoon cooking and meal planning for next week. Made the nut loaf, then a batch of butternut squash chickpea and lime soup, then Mr SA’s roast pork. Cooked the pork in the Ninja, combination of pressure cook and air crisp, turned out really well. Not used my big oven now for 4 months. The dog and cat have been sniffing the air all afternoon 😆Mr SA has done nothing but moan about the wax melts smelling too strong and giving him a sore throat 😩I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)6

My dh moans if I ever light a candle or anything. I only do it now if he isn’t in as the relaxing effect is somewhat lost with his moaning 😂😂January spends - £587.586

And here we are back at Monday. Had a manic morning work-wise so only just got a chance to post.
Today will be NSD13 of March, might be able to squeeze one more in this month if I try hard enough 😉
I've been for a short run this morning, it was quite hard work as I had the wind against me most of the way. Took the dog on the park at lunchtime, Mr SA is pottering about in the garden with her now. Weather here is fabulous and so warm. Already got two lines of washing dry.
Having Mexican style salmon for my dinner tonight, was meant to be Caribbean style salmon but realised I threw away the last bit of Jerk marinade then discovered some Mexican rice in the freezer and I have lots of chipotle paste. Mr SA is having scampi, chips and beans, none of that foreign muck for him 😆
Day 1 of lockdown easing and have already spotted one group of people picnicking on the park across the road. It's going to be a nightmare over the next couple of weeks if the weather is good. I just hope they take their rubbish home with them. Hoping to be able to meet up with DS and the GKs this weekend, will probably have to be in a local park rather than the garden if it's not that warm.

It is lovely and sunny here but still very windy. Didn't dare put the washing on the line. Didn't fancy chasing it around S81!!5

Mr SA is currently on his third outfit change of the day. While I was otherwise occupied in a work meeting he got all his summer clothes out. He also lost his new phone at one point but thankfully found it in the garden 😩I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)5

I take it he hasn't seen next week's weather forecast. We have sleet forecast here on Tuesday!5 -
Wow.Well done for running in that wind.
