Have been very productive after an unexpected very warm sunny day. All the garden waste is in the drive ready for the skip, there was so much stuff! Mr SA was watching me like a hawk especially when I was throwing away old roof tiles. Are they for our roof? No. Why do we need them then 😩 Also got 2 loads of washing and lots of gardening done. The dog has been for a run on the park, for a scooter ride with Mr SA and has been in the garden all day. I’ve done almost 20,000 steps and plenty of weight lifting with the heavy slabs - functional fitness 😆I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)10

Well done S_A. My gran put a bonfire together in the back garden once then went round to the shop for matches. When she got back my grandad had brought most of the potential bonfire back indoors. Gran was fuming.....I'm thinking that Mr S_A would have a lot in common with my grandad 😂7

Great work moving all that "stuff" from the garden. Men seem to accumulate lots of things in gardens, sheds and garages and almost all of it is "just in case it's needed one day".7

It’s definitely a man thing, hoarding all sorts.....just in case. When we sorted the spare bedroom a couple of months ago......all sorts apparently went to the tip....I’m sure they are reappearing back little by little 🤔🤔🤔
The finances are looking good....especially your secret stash. Hopefully you’ll be able to get out and enjoy it sometime soon.
Pleased to hear Mr SA is feeling better. Just keep an eye on his tummy - I’m not allowed to take them anymore as each time I’ve had the perforation I’d taking them long term 😳 I have been so stiff since I came off them though.January spends - £587.586 -
