Sun_Addict said:Cherry - I can't get near the rose to smell it as it's over the fence on the banks behind my house. There are lots more flowers appearing and several smaller versions of Jaws are poking through the fence so I'm hoping they'll flower too. I don't know where this rose has originated from as the banks where it's growing are on a very long sheer drop covered in bushes.

With the above in mind, I once walked along what's known as the coastal erosion north of Liverpool: the wild flowers there are lovely but I also saw a number of plants that I suspect had been in private gardens. The houses have succumbed to the sea but the seeds may well have washed back onto the land because they grow wild now.I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)

Happy Tuesday
Cherry I quite like the idea of being taken over by pink roses 😆 The petals have already fallen off the bigger flower but there are loads of buds coming up.
Have been for a walk to the big Mr T this morning to pick up a birthday card for a friend and a paper so almost 7k steps in the bag before I started work.
Got a Mr M delivery coming this morning, there are 2 subs but both of them are sensible and acceptable.
A few things on my to do list today besides work:
1. Ring Mr M customer services if the staff discount hasn't come off today's shop, this has been an annoying ongoing thing whereby it doesn't seem to matter that DD has linked her staff discount to my account I'm still not getting my 10% off.
2. Book a table for the lunch with friends next Monday.
3. Book in an eyebrow wax/tint for one day this week.
4. Clean the living room.
5. Do a HIIT workout after work.
Have a good one 😎I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)5 -
Table booked for next Monday but not at the first choice of venue as fully booked! Eyebrows booked in for tomorrow. Will need to ring Mr M as yet again no discount has been taken off, this has been going on for around 6 months now, I wouldn't mind but they recently sent me a new card with a letter saying here is your 10% family and friends discount card. I need to get it sorted once and for all.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)5

It appears the Mr M discount problem was most likely due to DD inputting my &More card number incorrectly into her staff account 🙄 Looks like it might be sorted now 🤞I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)3

Happy hump day 😎
Have been for a short run this morning then had breakfast in the garden reading my book in the warm sunshine. A very pleasant start to the working day.
Having my eyebrows waxed and tinted today so not a NSD.
Today's cleaning task is the bathroom. Need to get a portion of veggie lasagne out of the freezer for tonight's dinner, will have with salad. Going to have a good look in the freezer/fridge/food cupboard today and see what I can use up, there's a few things that seem to be hanging on. For instance there's an unopened bag of okra in the freezer that I know I bought in 2019, no idea what I had planned for it.

S. A was just going to put recipe for ladies fingers and lamb (Egyptian dish) - then remembered you dont eat meat. So not able to help with okra (ladies fingers). Guess you could mix into veg curry . I bet others will come up with a better meal.4
